THE QUESTION BOX
Mr. W. H, asks: HoW can we "re-
vive" awnings?
Answer: Repair tears by sewing on
underside, Then, refresh by relying
in a single colour. Stripes will show
slightly, but results will be successful.
Or paint with house paint thinned
with 1 as much turpentine. Apply a
thin coat and brush into fibres,
Mrs, J, C. asks: How often should
I have to defrost electric refrigerator
Answer: Always defrost before the
frost builds up to 1 inch (thickness of
pencil,) Every two weeks is usually
the case in the small home group—
once a week if it is used frequently.
Mrs. j, B. suggests: Use paprika in-
stead of pepper these days.

There is a Chinese robe look about
this frock that is particularly attrac-
tive. Cut on straight lines it has a
small standing collar, that is nothing
more -than a neck-band, above the
front closing which buttons from neck
to hem with white pearl buttons. The
patch pockets use the stripe on the
horizontal and describes a semi-yoke
on a curved line. The sleeves are
short and loose and slightly flared.
The fabric is navy rayon sharkskin

PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
There's one thing in the village that
fascinates me. It's that game of chec-
kers that never seems to end at the
barber shop. For as long as I can
remember there has been a checker-
board back there and there always
seems to be somebody playing.
Jeff Davis is a retired farmer and
Peter Young is a retired store-keeper
from the village. They take great
delight in putting their skill against
each other at checkers each afternoon.
In the morning almost anybody gets a
chance to play but not in the afternoon.
Go in there in the morning and you'll
find a couple of fellows waiting to
have their hair cut and they'll just
naturally go back for a game after hav-
ing a go at the morning paper. One
of them will get up and somebody else
will slip into his place . and .€o on.
After lunch however old Peter will
come along, Pretty soon Jeff

Many victory gardeners take more
-pride in their sweet corn than they do
in any other vegetable they grow.
This, perhaps, is a typical American
trait for the Indians loved corn and in-
troduced it to the early colonists.
There are a few simple tricks in
growing better sweet corn than your
mental feedings. When the plants are
about six inches high give them a good
extra meal. If the corn is in rows
make a shallow furrow, as illustrated,
and fill it with corn fertilizer, 'Wet
the fertilizer down with water from a
sprinkling can or a fine spray from
the garden hose. Then cover lightly
with dry soil. About two weeps later
place a similar feeding along the other
side of the row.
Keep the corn planting free of
weeds. This means frequent, shallow
cultivation. ,Cultivation must be shal-
low for corn roots are near the sur-
face. Sometimes hand-weeding will be
necessary to keep the corn plantings
free from wild growth that robs your
prized planting of food and moisture
so necessary for the production of ten-
der, tasty ears.
ned food is only as good as it was
when it went into the jar. Overripe or
bruised fruit is not worth your time or
jar; it may not even keep.
Are your fruits as clean as a whistle?
Pick over and clean fruit under a good
light.
Do your jars shine and sparkle
Clean, sterile jars are a necessity to
successful canning. Use lots of hot,
rich suds, ,a dish mop and a bottle
brush. Rinse well in hot water and
scald. Discard jars with nicks and
cracks.
Are you sure you know the right
way to use your jar caps?
Vacuum caps should be turned back
114 inch, those with screw bands 114
turn, After processing, screw bands
should be tightened; the clamp-type
secured by lowering the second clamp.
Never reuse war time rubber rings or
vacuum seal lids with rings of rubber
compound. Zinc or tin bands which
have become hard and dry should also
be replaced.
Do you accurately precook (blanch)
before packing? A quick precooking
shrinks the food and sets the colour,
so that each jar contains the optimum
amount. If directions read, "Precook
5 minutes in boiling water," its the
signal for you to put food in boiling
water, let it return quickly to boil, then
begin 5 minute timing, Be accurate.
Watch the clock, Do not let food
stand around because delays may
cause flat-sour,
Do 'you crowd food into jars?
Crowding may interfere with the
thorough cooking required for safe-
keeping, Crowding may prevent a
tight seal. Leave inch above fruit
to top of jar but then fill to over-flow-
ing with boiling liquid. Do you know
how to "burp" the jar? Run a knife
down the inside to free air bubbles.
Mtn), blip — the liquid fills the gaps,
After this treatment fill again to the
top with liquid. When Using a boiling
water bath, do you mount your jars
on a reek % inch from the bottom of
the deep kettle with the water cover-
ing, one inch over their tops, 'They
should stand at least 1/2 inch apart,
so that hot water can circulate. Do
you keep the water boiling Steadily:-
adding boiling water if necessary?
Do you process for the exact hunt-
her of minutes? Then dip out some of
the water and it will be easier to lift
out the finished product. Place the
jars on a, pad of paper, away from
drafts; complete seal and let cool,
Label jars aIlS1 store in a cool, ,,dry
place.
Don't depend on the grapevine dir-
'
ections of your neighbours, use an AP"
proved timetable,
come in. They'll sit there until the
board is vacated and by now, most
folks hurry through their game and let
the old-timers sit down. Old Peter
will say with exaggerated calmness,
"Anybody /want a go at the checker-
board?" Jeff will look up from squint-
ing at a paper and say, "Well, if no-
body wants a game I'll sit in. Just
for one though. Got to get away early
this afternoon. Expectin' some people
from the country to drop in."
Jeff always says that. He doesn't
really mean it becaUse he never leaves
before the afternoon is over. It just
makes conversation as they say. Both
those old fellows start playing as if,
well, it's just something to pass a little
time away at. Actually they are both
quite keen about it and their keenness
steps up as .they continue with the
game. i 1 They make several moves and then
the gang in the shop moves over to
Watch. The barber will stop now and
' again with the clippers or the razor
in his hand and watch ... to either nod
approval 'or shake his -head when he
fearg the consequence. Talk about a
pair of grandstand performers.
Peter moves carefully and seems to
have old Jeff bottled up. He .looks up
without openly smiling with what
seems almost to be a smirk,• waiting
for the approval of the crowd, Jeff
smokes furiously and then manages to
slip out of the trap and lay another one
for- his opponent. Then he looks up
in much the same way. On it goes
and the crowd stands there, more in-
terested I'm sure in the way the two
old fellows react than they are to the
fine points of the game.
