CANNING -FRUIT
s $ello Homemakers! We've decided
ate.. continue our forum on canning this
5wceek. The economical preservation
"o1`• fruit is a matter of vital importance
on the "home front" this season!
* * *
canned fruit juices are very popul-
af, particularly ch ry, elderberry,
rhubarb, .current, raps, respben•y
and tomato juice. These true fruit
juices may be used in a variety of
ways for beverages, appetizers, gel-
atin salads, pudding sauces, and sher-
bets. They are also valuable as sub-
stitutes for certain spices.
* * *
The best bottled juice is obtained
by using the following directions:
1. Select sound, ripe fruit.
2. Wash and stem fruit. (Let grapes
stand 2 days to mellow the juice)
3. Crush fruit with a masher or
cut such fruit as rhubarb into small
pieces.
4, To 3 pints of berries add 2 cups
•medium syrup. For unsweetened''
juices add 1/4 cup water for each
cup of fruit.
5. Cook until soft in large covered
saucepan on electric element
turned from High to Low.
6. Pour into a cotton jelly bag and
press through slowly.
7. Strain through three layers of

eal tightly.
10. Immerse bottles irf water bath
at simmering point.
11. Cook quickly by running luke-
warm water, then cold water over
bat ties.
12. Cover odd caps or corks with
melted paraffin.
* * *
When canning peaches, pears, etc.
by the "cold -pack" method you'll find
that only a limited number of pieces
of fruit can be put in each jar, so the
proportions of fruit to syrup in each
jar will be smaller than if the fruit
were• small, or softened by pre-cook-
ing. Therefore, choose a less -sweet
syrup than for the "open -kettle"
method,
* * *
For each quart of large fruit use
31,E cups thin syrup made of 11/2 cups
of sugar and 3 cups water — or 3
cups medium syrup made by boiling
-2 cups sugar and 2 cups water — or
3 cups of heavy syrup made of boiling
3 cups sugar and 21/2 cups water.

A freequent question is "How much

MESSAGES FOR HITLER
A workman in a Canadian plant puts the final stamp of approval on
completed shells, lacking only a fuse to be ready for shipment to
Great Britain. Each of these death -dealing missiles ,carries a message
to Hitler from the Canadian people, who after two years of war are
more determined than ever to eradicate the Hun hordes from the face

QUESTION BOX
Mrs. D. F. -.asks: What effect do
some methods of canning have on the
flavour of canned fruits? •
Answer: There is a loss of flavour
with the open kettle method in
comparison to•the creel, clean meth-
od of precessing in the electric ov-
en where the food values ere re-
tained,,as well• as the flavour,
ars. W. L: asks Hors` does one "lye -
peel" peaches?
Answer: To one gallon of water
add two tablespoons'of lye and bring
to the boiling point. Be sure to use
an iron or old enamel pan. (Real
firm' peaches should only be used
with this method.) Place peaches
in wire basket or a cheese cloth
bag and dip into the boiling solut-
ion for• one minute only. Remove and
rinse in cold water. An old towel
may be used in rubbing off the
• peelings.
Mrs. B. D. asks: What causes peach -
and pears to turn dark after they have
been canned, and how can this be
prevented?
Answer: Fruit exposed to air too
long after being peeled, and before
being canned . will discolour. This
can be prevented by dropping pul-
ed fruit into slightly salted water
until ready to put into jars. Pears
will retaintheir whiteness better

Spies Watched
In Indies
By Dr. M. Van Blankenstein In
Montreal" Standard
The writer of this article is a well-
known Dutch jouli-naliist who has
spent a number of years in the Dutch
East Indies. He was diplomatic Rot-
terdamsche Courant and is now edit-
or of Vrij Nederland, a Dutch paper
published in London.
It is said that at every strategic
point in the Netherlands East Indies,
at every sand pit, every bay and 'cliff
along the coast you can find a Jap-
anese photographer. The people in
those regions, as far as they are In-
habited, consider him a spy. In many
cases they are right, but to some ex-
tent they exaggerate.
As far as photographers• are con-
cerned, the suspicion is, in many
the interior and to isolated islands,
I have benefited by the presence. of
Japanese cameramen.
I could always be sure to find some-
one somewhere in the jungle capable
of dealing professionally with my
films.
What else could a photographer do
in those regions but spy? Many of
them lived hi' lonesome spots' or in the
Midst ora people who are not in the
habit of having their photographs tak-
en. The 'system is very, transparent,
but that does not embarrass the
Japanese, The German takes infinitely
more trouble to hide his real intent-
ions.
There are many forms of Japanese
espionage. Tbeir fishermen are part-
icularly bold in this respect. Often
there has been no doubt whatever
that they had been sent out for the
sole purpose of charting territorial
waters. They stubbornly •fished in
coastal water&,:brohibited to them.
.. The Netherland's' Navy was forever
hunting the>In.
nen a )Bertal patrol loomed in
Sight 'the fishermen, took care to get
out of territorial , ;ivaters, In time
This used to- annoy the Navy very
much and on several occasions' the
Navy fired before the Japanese could
escape from territorial Waters. Tokyo
used to lodge a protest but usually
was staisfied with an assurance' that
the action had, been taken without
hostile intentions.
Cloak of Commerce
The most important and also 'the
most dangerous form of Japanese esp-
ionage was carried out on a large
scale under the cloak of commerce.
It was not just spying, but a clandes-
tine preparation of military bases.
The following incident, which oc-
curred about 1927 in the neighbour-
hood of New Guinea, is still quoted
as a good example of pure espionage.
In the shallow, dangerous Arafura sea
there is the small Island of Dobo,
little more than a sandbank with a
fete .palm trees on it. Australian pearl
fishers, have been 'settled there for
years. Small vessels from surrounding
isles and the Moluccas with their nat-
ive crews of pearl divers, also visit
the Island.
One day a fleet of Japanese, pearl
fishers arrived. They immediately
started to install. themselves on the
houses for the (feiahas tlae r had'
brought with abets. They also bought
up all the small boats •from the nat-
ive flshermen..The Island of Mho be-
came very 'rowdy. In the evening there
were occasional revolver shots. It
became necessary to send a Dutch
civil servant to maintain order.
For two years the Japanese fished
for pearls. Actually they sounded the
dangerous shallows of the Arafura
sea. One day the order came to return
to Japan. Everything was packed up,
boats, ships, Geishas and fishing gear.
When I visited Dobo shortly after-
ward, silence reigned there once
more. Only the Australians continued
to call. The street with the nice little
houses 'for the Geishas was abandon-
ed but everything was still intact.
Strategic Mangroves
One„of the most trying things about
the Japanese Is their .,demands for
mangrove concessions., The Japanese
require this beach 'bush because they
obtain from it the dyes for their cott-
on. But their demands for 'mangrove
concessions at strategic points, have
not been granted.
When the British naval base at
Singapore neared completion, Japan-
ese interests became centered upon,
mangroves in the small Netherlands
islands close to Singapore. The Jap-
anese have always been greedy in
their demands and the Dutch have al-
ways been courteous in their react-
ions. They granted the concessions
asked for, but exercised a strict sup-
ervision.
Soon it became apparent that the
Japanese were secretly importing
cement. Cement is entirely super-
fluous for the cutting of mangroves.
The Netherlands authorities wanted
to know more about this a d asked
Japanese apanese why they tarn red cem-
ent. They ingenuously replied that
they required it to make tennis courts.
The Dutch like tennis, but they
granted another concession not quite
so near the ,British Naval Base. The
old tennis courts were blown up; they
were found to be so thick they could
have served quite well as gun, em-
placements.
There was a continuous, almost
humorous, struggle between Japanese
push and Dutch efforts to keep the
push within certain limits. Now con-
ditions have changed Japanese fisher-
men can no longer take liberities in
Dutch territorial waters. The photo-
graphers, barbers and ,pther Japanese
suspects-•— as far as they are still in
the Indies—are closely watched. The
internment of the Germans is a warn-
ing for the Japanese. They know they
cannot expect support from anyone
in the Islands. To the 1,500,000 Chin-
ese in the Archipelago they are en-
emies; they are suspected by nearly
70,000;000 nativs who contribute, ac-
cording to their capacity, to the war
