THE CITY HAD NO INDEBTEDNESS AS OF JUNE 8, 1943.
I, Charles Taylor, do hereby certify that the above estimate of expenditures and
revenues for the fiscal year July 1, 1943, to June 30, 1944, budget allowances and ex
penditures for the first six months of the current year and expenditures for the years
1940. 1941. and the first six months of 1942, have been compiled from the records in
my charge and to the best of my knowledge are true and correct.
CHARLES TAYLOR. City Recorder, Hermiston.
Keep Vitamins
In Home-Cun ned
Tomatoes
The tomato rates respect because
it is chuckful of vitamins (A and C),
those invisible spark plugs that keep
one feeling fit.
Because tomatoes are an impor-
tant food, it is imperative that every
one not needed for immediate use
be saved by canning, but they must
be canned right, else there will be
Photo Courtesy Ball Bros. Co.
little or no vitamin C left in them.
Undue exposure to air after the skins
are removed and over-cooking in an
uncovered container destroy vitamin
C. This is one reason that tomatoes
should be prepared and canned as
quickly as possible. Usually whole
tomatoes have more food value than
tomato juice, partly because a con
siderable amount of vitamin A is
lost in the pulp that fails to go
through the strainer when the juice
is made, but mainly because greater
exposure to air destroys vitamin C.
If you want first-class canned to
matoes, use freshly gathered, firm-
ripe, sound fruit—one small bad spot
can ruin a whole batch. Wash the
tomatoes before scalding; scald a
few at a time. Remove all core,
slip off the skins, and cut away
green spots. Pack the tomatoes tight
into clean hot jars—this is best done
by pressing each tomato down with
a wooden spoon. Add salt to season
to suit your taste—the usual amount
is one teaspoon to the quart. Seal
jars according to manufacturer’s in
structions and process 35 minutes in
hot water bath. If tomatoes are
not fresh from the garden, process
45 minutes.
No juice can be better than the
fruit from which it is made, so be
fresh, firm-ripe.
sure to use strictly -------
red tomatoes, which are free from
all decay. Wash well and cut away
any green spots or weather cracks.
Weather cracks are those splits that
form around the stem ends when
hot sunshine follows a hard rain.
Such tomatoes are unfit for canning
or juice unless used immediately
after picking. Leave the tomatoes
whole and steam or bake them until
they are soft; then press through a
fine sieve, preferably a cone-shaped
one; reheat the juice to simmering;
pour into sterilized jars and process
30 minutes at simmering. The pulp
will separate from the juice unless
a very fine sieve is used or if too
much heat is applied at any time.
Oh, so you boil the juice in an open
kettle until it is thick? Well, that’s a
fine way to get rid of most of those
precious vitamins.
The best tasting juice is that made
by pressing whole home canned to
matoes through a sieve just before
serving. Any seasonings liked may
be added before canning but the
juice will be better if seasonings,
except salt, are added when the
juice is opened for serving, and even
the salt may be left out.

Margarst turned off the humm
vacuum cleaner, and straig iter
the slipcovers of the armchar c d
the daybed that she had pushed up
to go over the rug. Then she stood
quite still in the doorway and locked
at the small bedroom with its south
ern exposure. It was as neat and
impersonal as a pin. It might never
have been lived in. The door stood
open on the clean, bare closet. There
was not a pennant, not a team pic
ture, not even so much as an old
Arithmetic
book
left to show whose
room it had once
been.
Margaret stared
at the walls, the
furniture, and
deeply, slowly, she
realized that no
matter what lodg
ers with their own
trinkets and pic
tures might occupy it, she would al
ways see it the old way. It was the
old way that she saw it now. A pair
of hard-worn gray pants lay on the
floor where they had been dropped.
Three baseball bats were stacked
with a fishing rod in the corner. A
battered red cap with a letter on it
lay on the bed. And through the bed,
as though it were transparent, Mar
garet saw another bed, smaller, and
with high slatted sides.
She put the vacuum cleaner away
and went down to her desk in the
sitting-room. She took the fifteen
dollars rent that the new lodger had
paid that morning in advance for the
room, and added to it, from her
purse, three dollars and seventy-five
cents more. Then she drew out a
sheet of paper and began to write on
it, slowly, gravely.
“To buy a bond to help train a
young man to replace Don, Jr —
killed on June 6th in the Battle of
Midway.”
