Millions of Homemakers Still Can Food at Home By JEANNE LESEM United Preii International New York-(UPD-A toe to heel line of all home canners would stretch from Florida to Alaska. Twenty - million, or 44.5 per cent of all U.S. home makers, can food at home, reports a U.S. Department of Agriculture survey. How does this old-fashioned custom survive in the midst of plentiful, high quality com mercial canning? Status is the answer, says a leading Mason jar manufac turer (Bell Mros. Co.). Product manager Sterling Wardwell quotes a survey Indicating that home .canners consider themselves more efficient than non-canners. Other moti vations are conservation, cre ativity, economy, and pride and satisfaction in a job well done. Geography influences can ning habits. Homemakers in North Central states put up more pickles, relishes, toma toes, jellies, jams, preserves, butters and peaches than their sisters in other sections of the nation. But Southerners preserve more meat and poul try than homemakers else where, USDA reports. Home canning customs among age groups depend partly on the location of their homes. On farms, the amount of canning per person In creases with the homcmaker's age. But nearly 83 per cent of all farm women under the age of 30 put up food. How ever, in rural non-farm homes, only 55.9 per cent of the un-der-30 group cans, and the leading age group ranges from 50 to 59 years. , Although home freezing is growing, canning still exceeds it by some 50 per cent, said Wardwell. Successful home canning hinges on two words: plan Women's Mix-Match Footwear Announced United Press International Now it's a mix instead of a match afoot. Margaret Jer rold, the footwear designer, produces the mixed shoes for fall. One combination called for sharp orange on one foot; purple on the other. Orange lines the purple shoe. The orange shoe is lined in purple. "Buy as many as six pairs in different colors," said the de signer, "Mix or match as you please. The variations are endless." For that fashion zone be tween the sport Jacket and the V-neck cashmere or . lambs wool sweater, the British have come up with something call ed the "coatigan" for men. A product of the Cox Moore company, Nottingham, the coatigan can be worn with tie, ascot or open shirt. The front is ribbed; the pocket, patched. The woman who never has enough supporter anchors on her foundation garment can stop grouching. She can place as many supporters as she wishes when her garment has multi-gart rings attached to each leg. The continuous vent ed rlnf! of stretch fabric al lows for simple insertion of supporter or. garter tabs at one-inch intervals. Fur-trimmed gloves figure in the fall fashion picture. Ex amples ranch mink cuffs on white kid shorties; leopard cuffs on otter color leather shorties; rhinestone buttons on mink cuffs or black suede shorties. Stocking colors for fall re flect the new concept of color coordination. Jet brown blends black and brown; black amethyst, a gem tone, is for wearing with the amethyst costume. To wear with black or brown, there's green onyx.

Before shopping for clothes, a man should have someone help him to check his meas urements. Measure height without shoes 'while standing against a wall. Measure chest horizontally with tape close up under the arms. Hold tape snugly when measuring waist. Also measure the trouser in- seam stretching the tape from crotch along the inseam to length desired. ahparl T.ist th lrlnric nnrl amounts of canned foods you 11 need. Plan to put up small quantities of family's favorites, instead of huge amounts of only a few fruits and vegetables. Stock up on jars and lids early enough in the season to get the sizes and kinds you want. Make sure all equip ment works perfectly. Home gardeners are lucky they can process a few jars each morning, instead of spending a whole, tiring day at the job. This method means canning produce as If reaches peak quality. The last step prior to pre paring fruits and vegetables calls for reading both the recipe and the jar and lid m a n u facturers' instructions carefully, so you won't have to stop In the middle of the Job to study the next step. Here's an unusual tomato conserve recipe with which to start the canning season. Cut 6 pounds of peeled to matoes Into chunks. Slice 2 unpceled oranges and 1 un peeled lemon thin, discarding seeds. Mix with, 1 cup of seedless raisins, 3 pounds of sugar and V cup of brandy. Cook very slowly about 3 hours, stirring frequently. Re move from heat, add 1 cup of chopped walnuts, pour into sterile glasses and seal. Makes about 4 pints.

If life seems a bit humdrum and routine, just get into a canoe and float down a river. Two Medford women. Mrs. George Flana gan (at left) and Mrs. Sam Taylor did just that and found almost more adventure than they wanted. After practicing with the ca noe on the pond at Elk Lumber company, where this picture was taken after the wom en returned, they loaded the craft and camp ing equipment on Mrs. Flanagan's car and set out for Eugene. There they launched the canoe on the Willamette and began their journey. Less than three hours later they Women Most Often Question Candidacy of Mrs. Maurine Neuberg e r, Democratic candidate for Uni ted States Senator, said in an article featured in the cur rent issue of Simmons Review that women are "more likely" to have an initial reaction against a woman candidate for public office "because of your sex, than men." Mrs. Neuberger's comments appeared in an article en titled: "Is it Realistic to Nomi nate a Woman for President or Vice President in 1960?" The magazine is published by Simmons college, Boston, Mass. "I've found in my own ex perience in seeking public of fice, that other women are more likely oppose you be cause of your sex, than men," she said. "But after the first shock and the ladies decide that they do have a place 'outside the home,' they will band together and rejoice that their ultimate emancipa tion politically has been achieved." The former Oregon legis lator commented on her recent article in the national maga zine in rebuttal of one by former Post master General James Farley against possi bilities of a woman president or vice president. She said: "Mr. Jim Farley, commenting on the unreality of a woman president, cited her inability to command respect in world negotiations. I see no basis for this negative attitude. Why couldn't a woman meet at the diplomatic summit and nego tiate questions of war and peace? "Last slimmer I was a dele gate to the Atlantic Congress In London where discussions of world affairs and the part we could, play in strengthen ing NATO were carried on. Many of the delegates were women. They represented all of the other NATO countries and they participated equally with men and made a notable contribution. You Will Love the FALL MATERNITY FASHIONS At LaPointe's Social Events capsized at a point where a gravel bar forces the river water into a swift channel, and for a time the women were in consid able trouble. They succeeded in righting the canoe and salvaging their gear, and after spending the night at a farmhouse and a day in Albany, tried their luck once more. This time everything went smoothly. They traveled on the river for two days, thor oughly enjoying the water, watching the fish and activity along the shore. Having tasted adventure, the two women are eager for more. Other Women "I have never heard of a woman political leader being accused of corruption or en gaging in questionable deals. Can this same standard be ap plied to men? Women live longer than men. This belies the label of the weaker sex. They are not involved in crimes of violence to the ex tent that men are. In fact, all the cliches about women in public office can be refuted effectively. How ever, the measuring stick in a presi dential election is whether a candidate, man or woman, shows a quality for moral leadership ... of the world we live in." Piano, Organ Should Have Special Place By JOYCE SCHULLER United Press International Chicago - There's a place in today's small home for a piano or organ, but it should be a special place, furniture designer Paul McCobb says. McCobb recently designed two compact electric organs. Each is only three feet two inches by one foot six inches, small enough for even a city apartment. But the designer a d v i ses against squeezing them into any space smaller than nine by four feet. He rec ommends the extra space for gathering around to sing in old fashioned style. Because even this small an organ is basically an impor tant piece of furniture, Mc Cobb suggested giving it a corner of its own or at least half of a large wall. Make an organ or spinet the center of attraction in the room, he ad vised, or let it share the spot light with only one other im- " -tol COSMOPOLITAN Sandra Lee Jennings, 1960 Maid of Cotton, wears a white coat from the wardrobe, created for her by famous European designers. A heavy novelty-weave cotton was used in this cosmonr'" . de sign by P. Llel'-ui tielgium. (Mat No. IS) portant item - say the fire place. The sound of a spinet or or gan is, of course, even more important than its looks. Mc Cobb therefore cautions against placing it in front of heavy draperies, which, along with carpeting, tend to absorb sound. In most cases, the in strument will sound best when placed against a wall or other firm surface. But while too much car peting and draperies will deaden the sound of the in strument, a complete lack of soft, absorbent materials in a room will make sounds harsh. For most rooms with a spinet or organ, McCobb recom mended wall-to-wall carpet ing, but no heavy draperies. Where draperies are a must, they should cover no more than two windows. Hornbrook Woman Makes Lone Trip Into Hornbrook - Nine weeks of visiting, fishing, swimming, horseback riding and sight seeing came to an end recent ly for Mrs. Mildred Wiley when she returned to her home on Cottonwood Creek north of Hornbrook.
