You can sim p ly go down to your

There's p a rtic u la r Joy in this if
you’ ve raised them y o u rs e lf and
watched them grow by degrees, but
even i f you h a ve n 't done y o u r own

What Is Processing?
When we speak of canning vege­
tables, we often use the w ord p roc­
essing. T his s im p ly means th a t you
can the food, p lacing it in ste rile

I f yo u ’ re new at this canning busi­
ness, re m e m b e r these tw o im p o r­
ta n t points; get produce as fresh
as possible (th is is where having a
garden of yo u r own helps so m uch)
and try in g to observe to the le tte r
the rule of g e ttin g the vegetables
fro m garden to can in tw o hours.
Rule No. 2 is to have a ll y o u r
equipm ent ready so that there w ill
be no tim e lost once you s ta rt the
vegetables on th e ir way to the ja rs.

“ I ' D R A T H E R have little g irls
• than I i H I p boys," one hears a
m o th e r say, "because it's so hard to
keep the boys in clothes.”
Well, I suppose boys are ju s t a
b it h a rder on clothes than d a in ty
little g irls arc, but i f you do your
own sew ing-and use s tu rd y m a te ri­
als and good seams and also allow
plenty of room fo r the a ctive play
in w hich the boys engage, there
w on't be anything too d iffic u lt about
keeping them in garm ents.
Y ou’ll find th a t D a d 's old clothing
c a r be utilized to m ake sturdy, eco­
nom ical clothing fo r Ju n io r. Pants
: can easily be cut down o r ripped
' a p a rt and sewed in to little pants
fo r the youngster. S hirts, too, are
easy to m ake fro m la rg e r ones and
you’ ll find th a t the m a te ria l stands

D o n 't plan to m ake long-sleeved
s h irts fo r boys’ eve ryd a y w ear. They
are m uch too active, they get into
too m uch d ir t fo r you to be both­
ered scrubbing cuffs clean on every
s h irt you wash. Short sleeves are
not only easier to care fo r, but
they also a llo w m ore freedom of

Study seam co n stru ctio n c a re fu lly
; before you s ta rt sew ing and bear in
m in d th a t e ve ryd a y clothes w ill
have to stand up under innum erable
' washings.
B ig patch pockets are
useful because they are nice fo r
c a rry in g a ll sorts of incongruous ob­
jects. even i f you d o n 't alw ays like
the jo b of cleaning them out. Bound
buttonholes and bound slits are also
v e ry useful because they w ill stand
w e a r b e tte r than any oth e r type of
construction.
