Salem was chosen as the convention city as the first Rebekah Lodge of Oregon was organized here a hun dred years ago. Seventy-seven delegates, repre senting 42 clubs in the state, are attending the sessions at the IOOF Hall. Theta Rho girls are from 12 to 21 years of age and the clubs are sponsored by the Rebekahs. Mrs. Robert G. Henderson, Salem, a past president of the Re bekah Assembly of Oregon, was mistress of ceremonies for the opening session at which Mayor A. W. Loucks welcomed the girls. The response was given by Mrs. Olive Ramey, president of the Re k AssembIy of Oregon. Mrs. v,htr RnnH l n a rst APmhlv esjden w instifuted the firs heU RQ Chjb Corvallis in 1933.

Strawberries are getting along, and those who plan to freeze them will find that approximately cup per quart is the right amount of sweetness. Cut the berries at least once, toss gently with sugar and pack. Freeze immediately. FREEZE SOUR CHERRIES Cherries may be frozen. A syrup pack is best for sour cher ries when to be eaten uncooked, sugar pack when to be used for pies or puddings. For syrup, use 7 to 8 cups sugar per quart of water, cook and cool before using. Leave head space in contain ers. For sugar pack, use 1 quart (IV3 pounds) to cup sugar, mix and pack. Leave head space. Sweet cherries may be packed whole or seeded. Red varie ties are best for freezing. Pack directly into containers, cover with cold syrup, 3 cups sugar to 4 cups water and Ja teaspoon ascorbic acid to a quart. Leave head space. Ascorbic acid keeps fruit from discoloration. We like to freeze a few cherries with stems on and pits in, and eat them while still frosty. ABOUT MARASCHINOS Those who wish to make maraschino cherries should merely wash them free of spray and, leaving pits in and stems on, com pletely cover with brine which may be purchased inexpensively at some canneries or made thus: 1 gallon water Vi ounce calcium carbonate 16 ounce citric acid 3 ounces sodium-acid sulfite Stir together in a non-metallic container with wooden spoon or paddle until sodium-acid sulfite and citric acid are dissolved and as much of the calcium carbonate as possible. Materials are usually to be purchased at drugstore. Do not confuse the sodium acid sulfite with sodium sulfite. The cherries remain in this brine for from two weeks to two years. This bleaches and hardens them. The next step in prepara tion of maraschinos comes later, when they are freshened and put into syrup, but we will not publish it now, because if we do, those doing cherries later will have lost it long since. As happens every year, we will have to repeat the long recipe. Watch for it in a week or so; your cherries, in the meantime, are to be stand ing in the brine. Whole gooseberries may be frozen with or without sweeten ing. We prefer the dry freezing because it's so easy. Merely stem, wash, drain and put into containers. If using a syrup, use 4 cups sugar to 4 cups water and cool after boiling. Here's an extra good jam we've published many times, but which is worth another story: STRAWBERRY-GOOSEBERRY JAM 1 pound strawberries lVi pounds gooseberries 2 pounds sugar Slice strawberries, cover with sugar and let stand an hour. Add gooseberries and cook until the jam jells, when tried in a cold saucer. MUSIC man, Corvallis; Mrs. Ann Under wood, Estacada; Mrs. Genevieve Embree, Cascade Locks; and Mrs. Verna Schultz, Florence. Miss Charlotte Owen of Salem was solo ist during the ceremony.
