nutrition authority states.
If you are interested in good nutri-

the name given to apart of the Vita-
min B complex, and it is present in
eggs, meat (especially liver) and
green leaf vegetables. If you are fam-
iliar with livestock feeding, you will
know that riboflavin is as important
in animal food as in- human diet.
The interesting thing about ribofla-
vin is that the more you take, the more
good it does. Most vitamins are need-
ed in certain quantities and the body
cannot make use of a great excess.
A large intake of riboflavin brings

by weakening of the eyes, cracks at

RELIABLE CANNING METHODS
FOR FRUIT
Hello Homemakers ! Grumbling
about the small allowance of sugar for

ted to us through enemy-infested sea-
ways.

wearisome.
popular, hardy perennial herbs 'and all
or at least some of them should be
utilized by the victory gardener, The
spearmint and the peppermint are the
most popular. Their foliage is used
to flavor cool drinks and vinegar, as
well as jellies. For the very small
victory garden, however, the mints
may present a problem, since they
spread so rapidly,
As illustrated in the accompanying

ANOTHER HURON BOY
(Financial Post)
If Huron County were given to
bragging, one of its•boasts undoubtedly
would be the number of Huron boys
that have made good in life insurance
business, Most recent of these, in the
news is George Wilson Geddes, gen-
eral manager, Northern' Life Assur-
ance Co.; newly elected president of
the Life Insurance Institute of Can-
ada.
Coming up, through the actuarial
branch of the business, Wilson Geddes
has earned the degrees of Fellow of
the American Institute of Actuaries
and of the Actuarial Society of Amer-
ica without first graduating from ; a
university. The last war was respon-
sible for that,
Born in 1896 he graduated from
Winghain High Sohool, with a scholar-
ship that took him' to the University
of Toronto in 1914. He started in•the
Mathematics and Physics course, with
the idea of becoming a high/ school
teacher. But like other 111/I & P stu-
dents at Varsity he came under the
influence of Professor Michael Mack-
enzie, He admired his teaching so
much that along with several of his
classmates, he prepared to take the
Actuarial Society examinations in the
spring of 1916.
Before trying his university exam-
inations he enliste'cl, joining the Uni-
versity Battery of the Canadian Field
Artillery.
J. H. Birlccnshaw of the Confeder-
ation Life and Percy McLean of the
Canada Life, then junior actuaries,'
were in the same battery for a time
and they probably helped his actuarial
aspirations along.
On demobilization in 1919 and find-
ing he had still two years to go before
graduating Mr. Geddes decided to take
a job and began his insurance career
with the Northern Life at London. In
the next twelve and a half years he
moved abotea good deal, earrying.on
his actuarial studies; gaining experi-
elite; moving up the scale with each
change. At different times he was
with the Mutual Life of Canada, Con-
tinental American Life and Ontario
Equitable Life. In 1932 he returned
to the • Northern, becoMing general
manager. He is a past-presidehb of
the Canadian Life Insurance Officers
Association and of the Actuaries Club
of Toronto. •
In 1927, 1930' and 1937 lie attended
the International Congress of Actuar-
ies in Europe. He was the first Can-
adian actuary ever to deliver a paper
before an International Congress of
Actuaries, the occasion being the
Stockholm Conference in 1930, He is
a director of the London Chamber of
Commerce and served for a, number
of years on the Advisory Council of
the local branch of the Canadian Nat-
ional festitute for the Blind and the
board of the YMCA,
His wife is Mary Isabel Maxwell of
Wilmington, Delaware. They have one
son and two daughters.

Wife Preservers
WINGITAM ADVANCZTI.10$
Fruit may be preserved in quart
jars • and quart jars are available.
Fruit may be either cold-packed
(washed and put into sterile jars) or
hot-packed (pre-cooked for about 3
minutes and put into sterile jars), then
processed in the wash boiler. :Cover
the jars with boiling water two inches
above the tops,
Oven Method of Canning
If you have an electric range with
a thermostat oven control, then can-
ning fruit in the oven is the way to
prevent heating your kitchen — and
you'll find oven-canned fruits have a
true flavour. The temperature of the
pre-heated electric oven should be only
275°, but the cooking time takes 15
minutes longer than the water bath
method. Fill jars with fruit, then
pour in fruit juice, water or syrup to
overflowing; partially seal. (With
screw tops, turn tight, then unscrew
half a turn.) Place jars on oven shelf
adjuSted 2 or 3 inches from bottom of
oven. Place a jelly-roll pan or broil-
ing pan with a little hot water in it
over the baffle, covering the element,
to catch any juice which may seep
out and burn. Space jars about two
inches apart so heat may circulate
freely. Do not open oven door during
processing beriod. When processing
is completed and jars are taken out
of oven, place them a little ap art on
newspaper-covered table to cool; listen
for any hissing sound which means
jars are not airtight. If they are not
airtight, unscrew top, quickly remove
any fruit particle on rim of jar with a
scalded knife, reseat lid and seal.
Oven Canned Raspberries or
Thimbleberries
Pick over berries. If berries are
sandy, wash them. •Fill jars, giving
jar a gentle shake once and filling to
top with fruit. Pour over fruit a
syrup made of 1% cups sugar to 2%
cups water boiled for 2 minutes.
Partially seal and process for 35 min-
utes at 275° in electric oven.
Oven Canned Gooseberries
or Currants
Stem berries and wash. Prick
gooseberries with a darning needle,
Dissolve 1 cup sugar in 2 cups boiling
Water and add berries, Precook 20
seconds. Pour into sterilized jars and
oven psocess 30 minutes at 275'
en at "an appropriate time."
"Ample" Vegetables
Discussing vegetableS' generally, the
board said that with Canadian-grown
vegetables coming, on the market and
victory gardens being harvested, the
Supply of fresh vegetables is expected
to be "ample"- Prices are dropping
"fairly rapidly," and the immediate
outlook, with the consumer's ,poiut . of
view, is "greatly improved." .
Of the fruits being -placed under the
ceiling, the board said:
"Prices. will be considerably higher
than last year because it would not be
possible for growers to harvest their
greatly-reduced crops unless they can
get some compensation for the dam-
age clone by the severe winter. But
prices will - not be permitted to get
completely out of hand. The :peach
crop, for instance, is estimated to be
only one-quarter to one-third of what
it was last year. ,
"The board has embarked on this
Progpim after l ong and thorough
study but doe's not consider the prob,
lem entirely solved,
"Ceilings on certain fresh fruits Ad
on storeable vegetables will meet part
of the problem, but it must be noted
that there : is nothing the hoard can
do about the short-age of crops this
year. The difficulties arising out of
this and the administrative pkobleM-in-
valved continue to make .this a head-
ache to all concerned,"

for 3 minutes, Add 1 teaspoon 'lemon
juice for each quart of fruit. Pour
syrup to rim of fruit jars, partially
seal and process in electric oven 35
minutes,
Canning Without Sugar
Many will use fruit juice's in can-
ning without sugar, Small, soft fruits
especially retain flavour and colour if
processed as follows; use the softer,
ripe fruits to make juice by crushing
in a" saucepan (with a little sugar, if
you wish), then add a little boiling
water. Pour this over firmer berries
packed in a jar and process for five
minutes longer than when using syrup
method, Fruit will not spoil if pro-
cessed correctly — sugar helps in
keeping shape and true colour of fruit,
Making syrups with half honey will
replace half the sugar. Do not use
more than half honey or you may find
the flavour strong.
For small or sliced fruits, the syrup
to use is: 1 cup sugar to 1% cups
water, which makeS 2 cups syrup. For
each quart sealer, .allow about 1 cup
syrup for small fruit: For large fruit
allow 2 cups syrup.
