Atmosphere To Lemonade Punch
By BETTY BARCLAY
For church socials or in your
own back yard, what could be more
tempting than a green watermelon
punch bowl flied with pink lemon-
ade? 'You'll adore this unique way
of presenting the cooling beverage
for it adds eye appeal as well as
taste enjoyment. Imagine the
colors exhibited by placing the
melon bowl on a wreath of grapes
and grape leaves and floating waxy
yellow lemon slices in ita
Pink lemonade adds often need-
ed dietetic balance of foods cua>
tomarily served in picnic fashion
out-of-doors, such as—cold meats,
sandwiches, potato salad and cake
'which, while excellent, require as
supplements the mineral elements
and vitamins, especially 'vitamin C,
provided by citrus fruits —
oranges and lemons.
The pleasantly tart fruit acid of
lemons, truly a thirst quencher,
stimulates the appetite and pro-
motes digestion as well as produces
an alkaline• reaction in the body,
So with the universally favored
Savor of the lemon, it's no wonder
a drink using lemon juice as the
base is so popular.
Children enjoy this pink lemon-
ade with a candy stick placed in
It. The candy, a minor favor for
the entertainment, makes little
tots feel that they've had quite a
treat.
To prepare the watermelon
mulch bowl and oink lemonade:
Cut a piece from the top of the
watermelon arid with a sharp edged
spoon, Scoop out pink meat down
to the shell. Measure capacity of
hollow shell. (A medium sized
watermelon should hold one gallon
or more). For one gallon of
lemonade allow: 2 cups lemon
juice, 2 cups pink watermelon
juice drained from the scooped
meat (if necessary mash or sieve
Part of the meat to make required
amount of juice) and 1 to ,I%
pounds sugar, depending upon the
sweetness desired. Combine in-
gredients and add cold water and
ice to make one gallon and pour
into shell. Float lemon slices for
garnish on top. Serves 16 large or
32 small glasses or punch cups.
If the occasion demands variety,
the following recipe also makes an
ideal beverage for a watermelon
punch bowl:
Golden Gate Punch
1% to 2 cups sugar
3 cups lemon juice
2 cups orange juice
4 cups juice from berries
strawberry, raspberry, logan-
berry,ete.
12 cups water
Ice to chill
Combine in order given. Garnish
with lemon slices. Serves 20 to 24.
.Make Better
Jams and Jellies
CERTO is Pectin
Extracted frartm Fruit
When pectin is used in making Jam
and jelly, the Wartime Prices and
Trade Board Order No 150 allows
you to use sugar not in excess of
one and one-quarter pounds of
sugar for each pound of fruit.
On the basis that "fruit" means
"unprepared" fruit, this allows you
to make your jams and jellies the
Certo way which gives you approxi-
mately two•thirds more jam or jelly
from the same amount of fruit.

;VEGETABLE STORAGE IN 1942
Hello Homemakers) There is really
great strategy being used in the stor-
,age of vegetables these days. So, be-
cause you are in the canning mood,
don't go overboard and can all your
vegetables. Consider first the ad-
equate storage methods available to
, you. wo-1
(I) For root vegetables which
will hibernate (such as potatoes, car-
rots, beets, onions, parsnips and tur-
nips) store in cool cellars, in above-
ground mounds, or in underground
pits. Pumpkins and winter squash
can also be stored for several months
jn these places.
(2) The drying method is recom-
mended to save both jars and fuel.
Peas, beans and corn may be blanch-
ed, put on a cookie pan and Left in
the warming oven to dry slowly and
thoroughly; or, after the oven meal is
taken out of the electric range, turn
the switches off and put the pan of
seeds or kernels in the oven,
(3) Many fruits and vegetables
:(-cherries, berries, peas, corn, etc.)
may be picked, cleaned and put into
.cartons or suitable containers and
frozen in a' locker at the cold storage
plant in your vicinity.
(4) The pickliing or salt curing
storage method "puts down" cabbages
cucumbers and peppers.
(5) Tomatoes are best canned by
the oven or water-bath method. The
oven method helps to keep the vit-
amin content.
RECIPES
Oven Canned Tomatoes
Select firm, ripe tomatoes, Wash,
Blanch by immersing in boiling water
for about 1 initiate. Plunge into cold
r
water and peel at once. Pack into jars.
Add 1 tsp. salt to each quart jar.
Cover with boiling water or tomato
juice. Partially seal and process 45
mins. in electric oven preheated to
275'.
Home Canned Spinach... (Requested)
Pick over leaves carefully. Wash 3
or 4 times, lifting out the greens each
time, Sliced' as for cooking if neces-
sary. Heat in an uncovered kettle with
a :very small amount of water over
"low" heat until wilted. Stir while.4
heating. Pack into pint jars. Add VP)!
tsp. salt to each pint. Cover with
boiling water. Partially seal and cook
in boiler by water-bath method for 3
hours, • •
Home Canned Pumpkin
(Requested)
Wash. Remove seeds and peel. Cut
into 1 inch cubes. Cook in a small
quantity of water until soft. Put
through a sieve: Reheat to boiling
point, Fill pint jars, Seal and process
by water-bath method 3 hours.
TAKE A TIP
1. To cook or bake fillets of fish,
wring water out of new piece of
cheesecloth; then lay fillets on it.
Lifting fillets out with the cloth
prevents them from breaking into
pieces. Rinse the cloth in warm wat-
er and it can be used again.
2. To remove fish •odour, rub the
pan in which a fish is cooked with
orange or lemon rind,
3. A piece of orange rind put into
water in which suet or steam pudding
is being cooked will fbake the pud-
ding roll out of the cloth easily.
4. To clean a stained enamel kettle,
cook applesauce or tomatoes in it.
These foods may be eaten—there is no
danger.

There are never too many of those
simple, unpretentious little frocks that
manage to stay bright and fresh right
through the day. Here is one fashion-
ed of shantung in dark green and
therefore very much the mode, since
both the color and fabric are very
smart this season. It buttons down
the back to the set-in waistband which
ties in a bow. The collar and pock-
ets are edged -with a band of frosty
white. The weave of the frabic is
used horizontally on the bodice and
slant-wise on the skirt,
The visions- species of grasshop-
pers attack nearly all cultivated as
well as wild plants. They do a tre-
mendous amount of damage especially
when in large groups.
As illustrated in the Garden-Graph,
the grasshoppers have chewing mouth
parts and these ravenous pests Strip
the leaves, devour fruits and even bite
off the tender sterns, They continue
to feed until frost,
There are several methods of con-,
tro/. Poisoned bait is usually used
when they are attacking the crops.
Fall plowing (of a four-inch depth)
helps to destroy the eggs which are
laid one-half to one and one-half inch-
es beneath the soil. The exposed eggs
are eaten by the birds or killed by
frost action.

Hints
By MRS. MARY MORTON
When you use corn syrup for can-
ning, as -corn- syrup is less sweet than
sugar, it is best to use some sugar'
with it, For a thin syrup, 1 cup corn
syrup to 2% cups water, 1 cup sugar;
boil 5 minutes, For medium syrup,
2 cup corn syrup, 2% cups water, 1
cup sugar. And-for a thick syrup,
use 1 cup 'syrup, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup
water, and boil 5 minutes.

There are several ways of detecting
a summer storm. Old men begin tell-

come scurrying out to gather in the

start driving for the barn, looking up
now and again to see how close the
storm actually is.
If you are a good judge you'll make
the barn, have the team unhitched and
be in the stable by the time the rain
starts. Of course, none really wants
to miss those first, big splattering
