Pectin is the jelling substance found in all fruits in varying amounts. Certo is pectin extracted from fruits rich in this natural substance, then refined, concentrated and performance- contr011ed. Certain- ly, nothing artificial or 'chemical' about it! When you use Certo and follow the tested Certo recipes, your jam and jelly always sets perfectly. If your church group or women's club is interested in homemade jam and jelly, I have a Certo film I'd be happy to loan you. No charge. No obligation.

Let's Fill the Jam Shell rnANS CANADA Moir (01 ((( Behind me was the "rat race" while ahead of me stretched noth- ing but day after monotonous day of perfect freedom, Was I happy? Was I looking forward to reading the paper someone else had whip- ped together in the wee, sma' hours of the morning in Order to meet a deadline? Was I savouring the lucky break that had placed my feet on the desk and my type- writer-worn fingers in a twiddle? I was not, Instead, my head was in a twirl, At times like this one us- ually takes stock of one's desires and ambitions, I started asking myself questions such 'as, "What do you want to do most? What has been the greatest lack in your life ? Where do you most want to go?" What did I most want to do? That was an easy question to an- swer, Now that I am free from the routine of an exacting career as a weekly editor, I want to hop a train and call on other weekly editors across Canada, who are making an outstanding contribu- tion to the nation's progress. I want to travel to the seat of Confederation, wander in the Peace Gardens on the Canadian- US border, feast my eyes on the grandeur of the Rockies, smell the roses in the Butchart Gard- ens and watch the ships of the Canadian Navy sail into Bedford Basin for repairs, I want to tell westerners of the wonders of Niagara Falls and easterners of the breath-taking beauty of the foothills seen through a haze at dusk. The greatest lack in my life had undoubtedly been the need for more time. Time to read, to visit, to know and enjoy more friend- ships and to know my own country better from coast to coast. Because there are so many busy men, women, aye and children too, in this rapidly developing nation of ours, I am blessing this opportun- ity to keep this capsule diary for you about Canada, its people, its customs, its industries popping up all over the land in infinite variety —and above all, to write of its great natural beauty, so many of us miss in our haste-filled exist- ence.

The one when I could give my typewriter an icy stare, and not turn a hair because my mind was a blank and the linotype operators were out of copy. This was the first morning of my retirement.

Everyone loves these delicious berries, but the season is so short that the wise homemaker makes sweet spreads that the family can enjoy all year round. To-day it's no problem to fill a jelly cup- board—our modern homemaker us- es added fruit pectin and follows kitchen tested recipes. Great-grandmother followed a rule of thumb method using wild berries and maple sugar pound for pound. There were no recipes, so she boiled her fruit until the fruit acid, sugar and pectin were in the proper balance to form a jell. But there were some fruits which nev- er would jell, no matter how long she boiled the mixture, and des- pite her vast experience, she often had failures even with the good jelling fruits. To-day any fruit can be jelled—even those known as non-jelling fruits—if commercial fruit pectin, in either liquid or crystal form, is added. It's so easy to make jams and jellies with ad- ded fruit pectin. All you do is prepare the fruit or juice, bring the mixture to a full rolling boil and boil hard 1 minute. The modern way is the sure way, too—it's failure-proof. There are no complicated visual tests, When you add pectin yourself you know that when your jam or jelly mix- ture has boiled hard for one min- ute it will set perfectly. Because the boil is so short, your jam or jelly locks in all the flavor and color of fully ripe fruit, and you get up to 50 percent more jam or jelly from the same amount of fruit. You can use this easy short boil method all through the summer with any fruit. There are many delicious combinations you can 'make, like strawberry and rhubarb jam, red raspberry and currant Jelly, strawberry marmalade, st- rawberry relish and coUntleSs oth- ers. So why not follow the time- honoured tradition and have a well-stocked jam cupboard like great-grandmother's?
