They may be red, pink or yellow, round or oval, small or large, juicy or meaty. The acid content of tomatoes varies with variety and growing conditions. Some of the new varieties of tomatoes tend to be lower in acid. When there is a low acid level, the concern regarding the safest method of canning tomatoes becomes greater. Al- though it is believed that there are few low acid tomatoes in Canada, it is a safety precaution to increase the acidity in case one cans such tomatoes unknowingly. Citric acid, a natural consti- tuent of many fruits and vege- Today's Health by David Woods The fact that hay fever is poorly named--it's not truly a fever, and hay isn't its main cause--is little consolation to the two or three million Canadians who suffer from it: For them, hay fever means several weeks of the summer marred by itching and sneezing, streaming eyes and often, diffi- culty breathing. The pollens, from ragweed, grass, trees and other plants, that :cause all the trouble are harmless enough in themselves. What happens is that people who are allergic to one or more of these airborne irritants continue to experience hay fever symptoms until the allergeturthe offending pollen—disappears until next year, The best solution is to move away rein whatever's causing the AtIlblem, But this isn't too practical since the various hay fever-causing plants pollinate in waves between March and June-- add you may be allergic to more than one of them. Also, the Pollens, Which are Most active in Ontario along the shore of the Great Lakes can travel up to 400 miles. But there are, according to Ontario allergist Dr. William van Roogenhuize, certain common sense precautions you can take. If you're driving, he advises; travel in the early morning or in Olt evening when it's cooler so that ear windows can be kept but also, air conditioning—in the cat Or the home—affords some protection: pryv,an floogenhuiie stiggets i tables, has been tested and proven effective by Food Advis- ory Services, Agriculture Canada. It is inexpensive to buy and is available at most drugstores in the form of crystals. Tomatoes -should be canned in clean jars using the cold pack method. Dip the tomatoes in boiling water 15 to 60 second. then ;in ice cold water. The skin should slip off easily. Remove the stem end and half-fill the jars with tomatoes. Add the citric acid solution (1/2 teaspoon of citric acid dissolved in 1 talbespoon of boiling water per quart jar or 1/4 teaspoon per pint jar) and finish filling the containers. Cover with boiling tomato juice, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Process, like fruit, in a boiling too, that hay fever sufferers stay out of fields because of the much higher concentrations of pollens there and that they avoid swim- ming, since the allergens tend to settle on the surface of the water. There is, of course, medical treatment available. But this, says van Hoogenhuize, is rather like trying to shut the barn door after the horse has bolted. The many varieties of antihistamines may be effective, he says, but the best course of action is prevention If you know you're going to get hay fever, go to your doctor well before the high pollen season begins. This will allow for ade- quate allergy testing todetermine if you might benefit froth a series of desensitizing shots. But re- member the shots may take as long as two or three years to bring any real relief. While hay fever is more of an annoyance than an outright dis- ease, it may associated with other respiratory problems. The solut- ion lies in common ' sense, and in early prevention. A large number of Brussels children who are attending the Legion and Lions sponsored swimming lessons in the pool in Gorrie have passed their Red Cross tests. Pre-Beginners: Kim Bauer, water bath with enough water to cover jars by one to two inches. Allow 60 minutes for quart jars arid 55 minutes for pint jars. Home canned tomatoes, as well as fruits, may be eaten directly on opening the sealed jars. Home canned vegetables, on the other hand, which must be processed in a pressure canner, must be boiled ten minutes after opening, before tasting.

Girls win 49-16 The Midget Girls Softball team barely squeezed by the Belgrave girls with a 20-19 score in the game played in Belgrave on Friday, July 25th. This score did not indicate their usual level of achievement. It was a different story in Belgrave on Tuesday; July 29th when Brussels overwhelmed Bel- grave 49 to 16. Brussels homtown team showed their, power at bat with 21 home runs. Their coach, Mel Jacklin, said the team needs stronger opposi- tion, which he intends to arrange for. With scores like the last one, and previous ones, there is no demand for the improvement the girls are capable of.
