Grandma's Preserving
Kettle Still Being Used
By JEANNE LESEM
- United Press International
New York -Oil- Grandma's
preserving kettle is right at
nome in the space age
it bubbles merrily on the
stoves of some, 20 million
American families from the
time of the summer crop
mrough the fall fruit harvest
an' Agriculture Department
survey showed. This figure re
presents 44.5 per cent of all
United States households, the
survey added.
Fruits are the favorite home
canning raw material, with
most of them ending up in
preserves, jams, jellies and
relishes. Peaches lead the fruit
popularity poll and, with to
matoes, are the foods most
often canned.
Why do fruits outdo vege
tables in canning popularity?

President Named
For Association
Mrs. John Keaveny of Jack
sonville was elected president
of the Jackson County Tuber
culosis and Health association
at a meeting Friday, Septem
ber 26. She succeeds Col. Wil
liam H. Bartlett, who moved
from the city.
" Mrs.. Keaveny has been ac
tive in the group several
years and has been local
chairman for the Jacksonville
Christmas Seal sale.
At the board meeting Fri
day, reports were heard from
the chairmen of "the standing
committees. The case finding
committee is headed by Glenn
Jennings; health education,
Mrs. M. O. Grove; public re
lations, Mrs. Henry Padgham;
family life, Mrs. Walter Bish
and Mrs. Chester Fitch, co-
chairmen; seal sale, Mrs. Ed
Knapp; television, Mrs. Ivan
Burton; rehabilitation, H.
Chandler Drew; patient care,
Miss Helen Bullis.
Mrs. Lewis Ulrich was in
charge of luncheon arrange
ments. Home On The Range
. Washington -IUPD- Pies like
Grandmother used to make
are still around, the agricul
ture department reports.
-" We rely on our kitchen
ovens for much of the baked
goods we eat, a department
survey showed. About 93 per
cent of farm families and 67
per cent of city families eat at
least one home-baked product
a week.
Most popular items are
quickbreads, cakes and pies.
Next come bread, rolls, cook
ies and gingerbread.
Mrs. Irene Wolgamot, a
Rutgers university extension
service food and nutrition spe
cialist, explained:
"Anyone with a deep kettle
can put up fruit and tomatoes,
which are acid. But you need
more equipment, including a
pressure canner, for non-acid
vegetables."
Pickles, relishes, mincemeat
and applesauce are among the
fall possibilities for home can
ners, Mrs. Wolgamot said.
But don't can or preserve
more than you expect to use
or give as presents during the
year, she warned. Most foods
put up at home will keep as
long as the seal of the jar re
mains unbroken, but flavor
and nutritional losses occur
when products are stored too
long or too near heat and
light sources.
. The nutritionist said that
many homemakers still can
and preserve food at home for
economy reasons.
The growing popularity of
home food freezers and rental
lockers apparently hasn't cut
into the canning-preserving
rate to a marked extent.
More families can food than
freeze it, the Agriculture De
partment pointed out, but the
amount frozen by an average
family is considerably greater
than the amount canned per
family. However, 85 per cent
of the frozen food was meat,
and 45 per cent of the meat
was beef.
For homemakers who both
can and freeze, a major mason
jar manufacturer (Ball Broth
ers Co.) has a new all-purpose
glass container. This jar, tap
ered so that frozen food will
slide out without thawing,
comes with a conventional re
usable metal screw band and
separate rubber seal lid.

Slenderize With Stripes
East Lansing, Mich. -(UPD-It
takes a little more time and
money to find the right dress
for a chubby girl but it can
be done.
So says Lola Belle Green,

at Michigan State university.
She advised chubby girls to
avoid horizontal cuts and
sharp color contrasts between
