PAGE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON July 21, 1043 Oregon Congressmen Accomplish Much in Active First Session WASHINGTON, July 20 (Pi The Oregon Congressional dele gation, though It had two new house members, was one of the most active In the first session of the 78th Congress and acconv pllshed much for the state. A solid republican delegation, it was led by Sen. McNary, mi nority leader, and the veteran Rep. Mott on the house side, McNary's high standing in con gress and among high govern' ment officials generally aided other members in their work while Sen. Holman was active on the appropriations commit tee and succeeded in getting in' creases in funds for reclamation and fire protection after the house had omitted them from the appropriation bills. Naval Affairs On the house side, Mott was engaged a great part of the se sion in work of the naval af fairs committee on which he is the ranking republican member. Mott also is a member of the house roads committee which initiates legislation for federal .aid to roads and on the public lands committee. AngeU Efforts Rep. AngeU, a member of the rivers and harbors committee, the territories committee and the committee on conservation of wildlife resources, continued his efforts to extend the social security laws, to aid needy chil dren, increase annuities for the blind, to extend the veterans pension law to men serving in the present war, to increase the disability pensions to veterans of the Spanish war, the Philip pine insurrection and China re lief expedition from $60 to $75, and another to authorize the government to continue to pay all persona serving in the armed forces for one year after termi nation of the war. AngeU took especial interest in the legislation affecting vet erans and members of the armed forces going directly to the war and navy department heads to get corrected what he considered inequities in treat ment of the men. : When the summer recess came AngeU had 24 bills being considered in various commit tees, some of which were com panion measures to those intro duced by the state's senators. Metallurgical Laboratory Rep. Ellsworth scored one of the outstanding triumphs of the session for a new member of the house when his efforts re sulted in getting the northwest metallurgical laboratory placed at Albany. The Roseburg pub lisher also attracted notice with his proposal that wood be uti lized to provide protein feed for livestock and urged a broader use of wood. He was active as a member of the republican congressional food study committee which in vestigated the food situation. Ellsworth maintained the food shortage was artificial and could be corrected by proper handling. He placed the respon sibility for it on President Roosevelt and said the maze of orders and regulations issued by government departments were confusing the producers and merchants of the country. He Pressure Cooking Rules Told by Extension Agent Homemakers need not fear pressure cookers if they under stood a few simple rules, says Winnifred K. Gillen. Klamath county home demonstration agent. One rule that is common' ly misunderstood is that a pres sure cooker requires at least an inch of water on the bottom to prevent it from running dry and possibly cracking the cook er. Even more water than an inch does not interfere with its operation. A second rule is to take the safety valve apart each day that the cooker is used and be sure that it is not stuck with grease and rust. The safety valve contains a baU and spring which are adjusted to release the pressure in case it acciden tally becomes too high. Most of the explosions that one hears about were due either to a clog ged safety valve or to taking the cover off the cooker before the pressure gauge registered zero the only safe place for it to be. Maintenance of a temperature higher than boiling is necessary for destruction of dangerous bacteria. This high temperature is attained in a pressure cooker by steam pressure, not by air pressure. Therefore, the petcock of a pressure cooker is left open when the cooker is first closed to aUow air to escape. The mixture of air and water vapor which comes from the nozzle of the petcock at first feels cool to the hand. After several minutes it feels warm and then hot When the tem perature, tested by passing the hand through the jet of steam, three or four inches from the nozzle, feels hot, it is time to close the petcock. Care is neces sary' that enough time is al lowed to rid the cooker of 'air in order that a sufficiently high temperature may be developed. Retaining juice in glass jars during processing is difficult, in fact, complete retention is not always possible. Keeping the pressure steady and opening the petcock gradually after the has nine bills pending before house committees. Food Study Member Rep. Stockman, another new member, was active before com mittees in seeking approval of legislation he believed would benefit his district and state. He also is a member of the re publican food study committee, and is on two of its subcommit tees. He introduced in the house a companion measure to Sena tor McNary's measure to pro mote sustained yield practices in handling forests of the na tion. The McNary bill was passed by the senate and when congress returns from its recess Stockman probably will move to substitute it for his measure and ask its passage in the house. The Pendleton member has 12 bills pending before house committees and was active as was the other members of the delegation in seeking more funds for fighting forest fires. pressure gauge reaches zero at the end of processing will aid in retention of juice. Loss of juice is not a problem of tin canning. The moisture on the under side of the lid of the pressure cooker should be removed with a cloth before inverting the lid, because allowing water to run Into the pressure gauge may damage it. The pressure cooker is stored without a tight cover to prevent off-flavors. Pressure gauges are subject to inaccur acy, and it is a good plan to have them tested each year by the manufacturer or through the county extension office. More complete directions for using a pressure cooker in can ning are given in extension bul letin 596, "Home Food Preser vation," free upon request at county extension offices.
