Home-Makers' Forum By JOAN S. WHITE Gazette Home Economist To have glistening rows of home canned food on the pantry shelf is like having money in the bank. It gives such a comfortable feeling of security. Preserving will help balance the food budget and provide interesting variation to winter meals. Many of the tasks we as housewives do from day to day are not really noticed—that is until we skip them occasionally and then hear the family howl! But with canning, the finished products stand neatly on the shelf for all to see, indisputable evidence of time profitably spent, a tribute to our homemaking talents. Some women hesitate to can, feeling that it is a complicated procedure which requires expensive equipment. Actually home canning is not very different from other kinds of cooking and needs only the tools usually found in any well stocked kitchen. Canning will not only be simple but also fun if you plan ahead a bit. Decide which items your family will most enjoy, watch the markets so that you may buy when fruits and vegetables are at their peak of perfection and lowest price, and try not to attempt too much on any one day. If possible, work with a congenial friend or relative. By dividing the work and enjoying lively conversation, you will find the job done before you would have to ceedure, here are directions for canning apricots. HOME CANNED APRICOTS 1. Look over the jars you are going to use to see that there are no imperfections and provide them with tight fitting lids. Get out your water-bath canner. Any big deep kettle with a cover and a rack will do although most people use the canner especially designed for this purpose. 2. Select ripe fruit that is free from bad spots and blemishes, and uniform in size. Thirty pounds of apricots will yield twelve quarts of fruit. 3. Prepare enough syrup for the job. Allow one cup for each jar of fruit. The medium syrup suitable for apricots is made by combining sugar and water in the proportions of one cup of sugar to two cups of water. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Then boil for five minutes. 4. Wash and rinse jars and lids. Set in a pan of hot water so that the jars will be hot when filled. Put enough water in the canner so that it will cover the jars when they are lowered into it. Place on high heat. 5. Wash apricots, cut in half, and remove stones. Work quickly, preparing just enough fruit to fill one jar at a time. 6. Set jar on a cloth lined shallow pan. Pack with fruit. Canning will not only be simple but also fun if you plan ahead a bit. Decide which items your family will most enjoy, watch the markets so that you may buy when fruits and vegetables are at their peak of perfection and lowest price, and try not to attempt too much on any one day. If possible, work with a congenial friend or relative. By dividing the work and enjoying lively conversation, you will find the job done before you would have thought possible. There are now only two approved methods of canning: the hot water bath for acid foods such as fruits and tomatoes, and steam pressure cooking for non-acid foods such as vegetables other than tomatoes and meats, poultry and fish. These two methods provide sufficient heat to destroy all microscopic life that cause spoilage of food and if canning rules are faithfully followed, will provide a perfect seal that will prevent the re-entrance of micro-organisms. The food poisoning we sometimes hear about in connection with home canned food is the work of bacilli botulinus. It occurs in non-acid foods canned by methods other than steam pressure. Botulinus gives no warning and is deadly. Never, never can corn, beans, peas or meats without the use of a pressure cooker. Cleanliness is all-important. Food, containers, work surface and hands all must be immaculately clean. Are home canned foods as nutritious as fresh cooked or commercially canned? If produce is canned as soon after picking as possible, if all water in which foods are pre-cooked is used and if it is processed in the container, home canned foods will equal the commercially canned and are apt to have a higher vitamin count than fresh food which is cooked in an open sauce pan because air, the great destroyer of vitamins, is shut out during the processing period.

Los Angeles St. —Anaheim— When I asked her for one of her own preserving recipes, she stopped her work for a minute to show me a jar of tomatoes she had canned. It had the deep red color of fresh tomatoes and each tomato in the jar was a perfect round sphere, firm enough to slice. The liquid was perfectly clear. Mrs. Robinson likes to have a supply of these on her pantry shelf for winter time tomato salads and perhaps you will too. Here is her recipe: MRS. ROBINSON'S CANNED TOMATOES Select medium size tomatoes and wide mouthed jars. Scald the tomatoes, slip off the skins and pack carefully into hot sterilized jars. Add enough boiling water to fill the jars to within one half inch of the top. Add one half teaspoon of salt to each quart and seal. Have water in the water bath canner boiling and remove from fire. Immediately submerge the jars completely in the water.

A collapsible boom allows the machine to duck under low-ranging obstacles. Used to fill ditches, level, load trucks and generally move earth or refuse, the big machine cost well over $5000. It is powered by a heavy-duty Chrysler engine, and capable of road speeds up to 20 miles per hour. Necessitated by Anaheim's pending road construction program, the machine replaces a model 10 years ago. Over closely and let stand until the water is cool enough to lift cars out with your hands. That is all there is to it. Mrs. Robinson usually cans her tomatoes in the evening, lets them stand in the water over night, and then in the morning they are just right to lift from the water. She cautions not to boil the water at any time while the cars are in it or the tomatoes will rise to the top of the jars and pose their shape. She has never had any spoilage.

"And do you think any foxhole would satisfy them," broke in another. "No—not if it had hot and cold showers and a small refrigerator." Other comments: "I imagine coming back to a girl friend who had run a machinegun and wore two more medals than you. What could you talk about?" "It might be all right to use women behind the front as cooks and truck drivers and traffic cops—or to build roads. The Russians did." “If my wife went into combat I know the Army would put me on a bazooka team with her. That's not war—it's just a kind of outdoor marriage.” “How about a female wrestler? She could carry the base plate for the mortar squad.

There’s Still Time, Fellas, To Enter the Soap Box Derby Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! It’s still not too late for Anaheim boys to build entries for the Big Soap Box Derby to be held in Los Angeles on July 19, 20, and 22. Sponsored locally by the Optimist Club, Cone Brothers Chevrolet, and the Anaheim Gazette, the Derby is open to all boys of Anaheim between 11 and 15 years old and offers prizes ranging from trophies to college scholarships. Trial heats, to be held on a specially constructed speedway just off Arroyo Seco parkway, allow qualifiers to compete in national finals. Constructing a car will cost a boy comparatively little since city merchants are volunteering the purchase of wheels and steering equipment for Anaheim boys who enter. Business firms already sponsoring cars include Williams Manufacturing company; Walter Jungkeit Venetian Blind company, (2 cars); L. N. Wisser Sporting Goods; Clarice Sportswear; Joe's Service; Leavitt Ford; Dr. C. O. Patterson; Hellyer Buick; and the Yellis Dairy. Complete instructions on how to build an official Derby racing car, entry blanks and detailed information about the big race are available from Herschell Snyder at Cone Brothers, Louie Larson at Home Town printing, or any member of the boy’s work committee of the Optimist club.

Plan School For Retarded Country Children Announcement of intent to provide school facilities for retarded children in Orange county was made by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Yorde, local representatives for the Exceptional Children’s Foundation, Los Angeles. First steps are to determine the actual number of children in need of the special training and to organize a local group of parents and other interested adults. Mr. Yorde said. To this end, Mr. and Mrs. Yorde asked all parents of retarded children, as well as other people interested in the welfare and proper schooling of the youngsters, to phone 4630, after 3 p.m. Ultimate aim of the proposed program is to establish a home-school where the children can be instructed individually, according to their needs. Pioneered in 1946, the Exceptional Children’s Foundation, 2225 West Adams blvd., Los Angeles, is sponsored by Women’s 20th Century club of Eagle Rock. At present there are several schools operating in Los Angeles county. They provide special teachers for students who range from five to 20 years of age. School work includes academic instruction and training in various crafts, with emphasis on individual aptitudes and capabilities. some traffic ordinance "perhaps unknowingly" as the card points out.
