Grumbling abo the small allowance of sugar t canning won't help. So let's m the most of every bit of sugar get, remembering that most of it transported to us through enem infested seaways. Although we are omitting 0Question Box again, your, question on canning will be answered in th directions given below. If you tac your canning systematically, you wi not find it nearly as difficult or a wearisome. Fruit may be preserved in quay jars and quart jars are availabl Fruit may be either cold-packe (washed and put into sterile jars or hot -packed (pre-cooked for abou 3 minutes and put into sterile jars then processed in the wash boll Cover the jars with boiling water tw inches above the tops, Oven Method of Canning If you have an electric rage with thermostat oven control, then ca ning fruit in the oven is the way t prevent heating your kitchen — an you'll find oven -canned fruits have true flavour. The temperature of th pre -heated electric oven should b only 275°, but the cooking time take 15 minutes longer than the vote bath method. Fill jars with fruit then pour in fruit juice , water o syrup to overflowing; partially seal (With screw tops, turn tight, the unscrew half a turn.) Place jars o oven shelf adjusted 2 or 3 inche from bottom of oven. Place a jell roll pan or broiling pan with a littl hot water in it over the baffle, cover ing 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 period. When processing is completed and jars are taken out of oven, place them a little apart 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, reseal 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 11/2 cups sugar to 211 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. Disolve 1 cup sugar in 2 cups boil- ing water and add berries. Pre-cook 20 seconds. Pour into sterilized jars and' oven process 30 minutes at 275°, Oven Canned Cherries Stem and wash cherries (sweet or sour), Pit. (Sweet ones need to be pricked when they are not pitted.) Pack fruit in sterile jars and cover with hot syrup. For sweet cherries, make a syrup of 1 cup sugar to 3 cups water, boiling for 5 minutes; for sour cherries use 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water, boiling for 1 minute. Screw metal band tight, then un- screw half a turn. Process (cook) in oven for 35 minutes at 275°. Remove at once and cool, Oven Canned Blueberries Pick berries over, clean and wash. Cover with boiling water for 3 min• utes, then drain and fill jars with fruit. Boil 1 cup sugar in 2 cups 'water for 3 minutes, Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice for each quart of fruit. Pour syrup to rim of fruit jars, part- ially seal and process in electric oven 35 minutes. Canning Without Sugar Many will use fruit juices in can- ning without sugar, Small, soft color it 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 processed correctly — sugar helps in keeping shape and true color 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 11/2 cups water, which makes 2 cups syrup, For each quart sealer, allow about 1 clip syrup for small fruit. For large fruit allow 2 cups syrup, ° ut or oke we is y - re s k [8 11 5 t 0. d ), er. vo a n 0 d a e e s r r n n 8 y e WILL YOU VOLUNTEER?

The ship which, in the first week of November, brought me from Eng- land to New York carried men from almost every country in the brother- hood of the United Nations. Many of them had, as airmen, sailors, sold- iers or as government officials, been co-operating in the all-out effort to which Britain is wholly given over: and they talked about it. On lots of things they differed, On some they were, in friendly fashion, critical. But on one thing all agreed—the work of our women. An Australian pilot put it quite simply, "The wo- men are doing an amazing job, all of them—in the homes, In the factories, in the offices, and in the services." On this there was no dissentient voice. He spoke for everybody. Today women, young and old, are in war work, as fully as men, without distinction of class. In one capacity or another, the great machine is tak- ing them all in. There are no idlers. Work is hard—but no bus conductor, no shell -filler, no welder, no machine tool-maker, no ambulance driver, no cook, complains of that. Hours are long—the normal week ranges from forty-eight to fifty-four hours. Condi- tions are difficult: rationing, the black -out, long distances to and from work, separation of families — these things press heavily both on the in- dustrial worker and the housekeeper. But no one complains, "There is a war on," and the hardships are shared. Once there was complaining. It be- longed to the time when women wanted to serve and felt' they were not being given the chance to do so. That cannot be said now. Now, al- though the Ministry of Labor can compel, as well as direct, compulsory powers hardly need to be used, so eager has been and is the desire to help in the common effort, Although today nine -tenths of the available women are actually et work, service is still being offered by women, By the autumn of 1942, in addition to women in the uniformed services, auxiliary civil defense, nursing and police, there were nearly seven mill- ion women working full time in ind- ustry, and another quarter million part time. This is more tban a third of the entire number of women of Britain between the ages of fourteen and sixty-five (of whom there are a total of seventeen and a quarter million) and nearly half the whole number between eighteen and sixty- five (of which there are 15,750,000), Add, at one end, the uniformed wom- en, and, at the other, the women do- ng full time unpaid work, in the Wo' men's Voluntary Services and other rganizatious, and the number left out becomes, obviously, very small, Want and .For Sale Ads, IL week 25b 'Very few escape unless they are dis- qualified by age, bad health, or re- sponsibility for the care Of young children. There are some ten million children for whose care women are responsible. Under tear conditions the children's need of care is greater than ever. The mothers of many 'of them, indeed, of Most, are working. They are working because 'every- one wants, and that passionately, to be sharing in the war effort: The overwhelming majority are . still" •yea unters. They have not been com- pelled to come forward; they have done so of their own accord. This is -the case in industry, and in the wo- men's auxiliary services; women are taking the place of men, and thereby releasing men for"the armed forces, over the whole range of pre-war em- ployment. The biggest task that confronts a country with a population of working age of some thirty-five million is the right distribution of its workers, their most effective and economical use. Early in 1941, the Ministry of Labor was given power of direction, cover- ing'all women. Under this they could be called upon to register, in age groups, and then posted where most needed. In December 1941, these pow- ers were extended and women can, as and when needed, be conscripted for national service. So far only single women and -widows up to thirty are being thus called up, Married women are not liable under the National Ser- vice Acts, Not compulsion, but the eagerness of women to serve, on the One hand, and the power of direction of the Minister of Leber on the other, has assembled the vast army of women now working and assigned to the vast range of tasks it Is now performing with Such success. The Minister can and does schedule es- sential lines of work from ivhi'ch workers may not move or be taken. This covers agriculture, canteen and lfbstels staff, the civil defense iserv- ioes, coal, cotton spinning and weav- ing, dentistry, hospital services, teaching, transport and public utility ser'ices. LIKE TO ROOST IN THE OPEN By being forced to spend the night in close quarters, more good pullets are spoiled than in any other way. Birds like to roost in the open. Range shelters—low-cost open' ended sheds— are the answer. Peering into the fog, the Captain saw a man leaning on a rail only a few yards away.. "You confounded fool, where in blazes do you think you're going? I've got the right of way." "Could be, guv'nor, could be," was the sardonic reply, "but this ain't no bloomin' ship.
