MUSEUM'S AMAZING POPULARITY
' Attendance figures' at the Huron County
6fuseuin reveal that its popularity has'e;ceeded
fondest 'expectations. Little did its founders
realize that the time- would come rvhel�i the
total attendance in any oueseasou would reach
• a figure -in excess of twice the entire_population
of Goderich. Yet that would seem to lie sonie-
thiug that will be realized this year.
On Friday of last Week Sergeant. 0. "E.
Apachtholz, of•Selfridge Air Force Base, Michi-
gan, signed the register and when 'he did, so
it marked the 10,000th i•isitor for the season.
Last -year it was not until August :4th that
this figure was -reached. Illness the at'tendaitee
this year so far gives every indication that all
previous' attendance records will be broken,
when the Museum ends the year.
As has been the ease in the past, the vast
majority of visitors come from a distance and

Peach jelly what a wonderful
addition to your jelly cupboard,
yet one which is- new to many
women! Here's the recipe.
• 3 -cups juice • (about 3 quarts
ripe peaches) - •
..61 ,cupt'-(2r lbs:) sugar.
1 bottle Certo fruit pectin
First prepare the. juice. Pit (do'
not peel) about 3 quarts soft ripe
peaches, Crush thoroughly: Add
1/2 cup water; bring to a boil. Sim-
mer,
covered, 5 ,minutes. Place in
jelly bag and squeeze out juice.
Measure 3 cups into a very large
saucepan.
Now make the Jelly. 4,dd sugar to
Nice in saucepan and mix well.
Place over high heat and bring to
a boil, stirring constantly. At once
stir in Certo. Bring to a full roll-
ing boil and boil hard 1 minute,
stirring constantly. Remove from
heat, skim off foam with metal
spoon, and pour quickly into
glasses. Cover at once with •' y8
inch hot paraffin. Makes about
11 medium glasses.
Some women think 'of pectin as a
sort of "secret weapon" that
makes jelly jell. No secret here!
It is simply the jelling: substance
found in all fruits in 'varying •
amounts. Certo is pectin extracted
from fruits rich in this natural
substance, thenrefined, concen-
trated 'and performance -control-
led. Certo and the 'tested Certo
recipes make your jam and jelly
turn' out exactly right.
Preserving Pointers: Pickling
time is almost upon us. Too much
salt will cause pickles to shrivel
and to toughen ... too much vine-
gar will bleach and shrivel them.
Don't use iron utensils _ they'll
discolor your pickles, Use an alu-
'minum or enamel kettle instead—
with a wooden spoon for stirring.
Had problems to do with jam and
jelly 'making? If you'd like any
help, I'd be glad to oblige. Write
and let me know. Lie with you
soon in my next column.
Note: There are plenty of peaches
available at Goderich now and
next week will see them near
their peak. •
