THE QUESTION BOX ti '441. V''4 Mrs. G. G. asks: • "How should we store green tomatoes to ripen—also list ingredients for green pickleg." Answer: Each green tomato should be wrapped in newspaper and placed in a closed box. 'Another method is to pull the vine before any signs of frost injury and suspend the entire vine from ceiling of cool storage room. Green Tomato Pickle 1 gallon green tomatoes 11/2' cups brown sugar 6 large onions 2 sweet red peppers 4 cups vinegar 1 tablespoon mustard seed 1 tablespoon whole allspice 1 tablespoon celery seed 1 tablespoon whole cloves • - 1 teaspoon whole black pepper 1 tablespoon mustard. Slice tomatoes and onions thinly. Sprinkle with one-half cup salt. Let stand overnight in r-ock •or enamel vessel. Tie all spices in a cheese- cloth bag. Chop pepper pods very thinly. Drain the tomatoes and on- ions ..well. Add the sugar, mustgrd, seasonings and peppers to the vine- gar, then add the tomato and onion. Cook for one-half hour, stirring, occa- sionally to prevent burning. Reinove spice bag. Pack into hot sterilized, jars and seal immediately. Yield: about 4 pints. Mrs. C.

W. 4towe, of Manitou, Manitoba, and the Managing Director 0. V. Charters, of Brampton, Ont., a high note of the convention, as it was at the national affair in Toronto, is the contribution weekly papers can make to the winning of victory. Why I mention this is because they mere- ly reflect the opinions and the physi- cal and moral effort of those who read weekly newspapers—the people who live in the 'areas not classed as urban. An experimental processing mill in Ottawa is expected to produce about five tons of milkweed gum durilig 1943, for use in the manufacture of synthetia rubber. This is only one of the many ex- periments carried out by the research resources of the Dominion of Canada since Japanese conquests cut o:nine- tenths. of the world's natural supply of rtilaber. The milkweed grows over a wide portion of eastern Canada and the harvesting of these wild stands Ms been carried out by school children and farmers under the direction of the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture. About ten years ago Russian sci- entists imported the milkweed and placed it among their three best rub- ber -producing plants. The chief dif- ficulty to be overcome in the use of this, plant as a source' of rubber was the problem of extraction. Recently, a simple mechanical method for ex- tracting the rubber content from the milkweed has been evolved. Other possibilities beside the rubber core tent include the use of the silky floss of the -Plant as a substitute far kapok to be used for the filling of life pre- servers- and other such articles. Russia obtains a supply of natural rubber froria the Russian dandelion known by the•unproatouncable name of Kok-Saghyz., Thts, plant was ,first folind in 1931 in eastern Russia, near the border of Ching. Even 'with, its comparatively low Yield of six to 12 per cent. raw rubber, the cultivation of the plant is practicable, because its growth appears, to be dependable and it produces good seed. In the -spring , of 1942 eight Dominion Ex- perimental stations planted a quar- ter acre each of this seed. The re - stilts of their planting have now been MIS embled. An average crop of 5,100 pounds of roots, ,from which the rubber *as ex- tracted, was secured favorably with the Production in Russia and in tbe :Unit- ed States. The aln.biltia of rubber eXtratted Varied from two to seven per odint. by weight.

"The' weekly newspapers constitute the veritable backbone Of 'nape in- formation, They reach a reading group that the dailies, barely touch. They enjoy an intimacy of relation- ship with their subscribers that met- ropolitan newspapers regard with en- vy but can scarcely bope to equal be - thereby more imperscinal circulation. "When this has „been said, let it be quickly added that in this war up to now, the weekly newspapers have done a remarkably effective and mag- nificently unselfish job in supporting the war effort. They have given gen- erously of their time, space and en- ergy and, will keep on so doing until the was is won. They are not hold- ing out for more of anything ,except a greater opportunity of contributing to victory." Along a similarly serious vein of thought was Premier W. J. Patter - son's address td the convention. He asked the newspapermen in their various communities to. preach the doctrine or hope and optimism, which must, however, be checked by the prospect of the serious problems which are still facing tie. He thought it was up to people to retain their true sense of proportion, not to re- gard the general outlook from any standpoint of our own personal prob- lems; we should take the broader and national view. He meant we should not miss the forest because of the trees. And that ends a rambling newalet- ter that had to be, despite the sup- posed week's holiday. Familiar Cereals In New Form B5MS!

'A.0116 135tillt °°6k, Saving Fuel This autumn, Canadians frOm east to west know that it is patriotic "hot stuff" to be cold. Many people who live in the country experience that early morning ehill . in their houses as a matter of course. This year, town and country are in sympatby, as. it people are following the example of their country coosins and are keep- ing their furnaces off as long as pos- sible. • While the weather is comparative- ly warm, preparation for a long, hard winter, should be made. Weather-stripping lo el s e • fitting doors and windows, calking cracks and open sedans .of exterior casings; installing storm windows and doors will wipe" out most draughts and heat wasters atmoderate cost. Heating engineers say that proper weather- stripping *ill save half a ton of cpal in the average home. -Not to keep away peeping Toms, but to preventaheat from being dis- sipated When it strikes cola glass, pull down window shades as soon as it becomes dark. An additional help is to draw draperies and curtains across the windows. When a fire isn't burning in the grate, close the fireplace damper. If there is no damper, stuff the chimney opening with newspapers. If there is a coal or wood stove in the kitchen, instead of turning on the furnace, leave the doors open so that some of the heat will circulate about the house., Being a little chilly in the autumn of 1943 ehould be regard- ed as all in aday's war work. vk0t4.;, joetif tit 141. c4c,e44400***, Hiliidrew00%, #4440;744.4! ilif4te; the '144,14elk 514 1#4 exeresiatiee inks, Trot rilasienae.: pow Pikke"rPetiii%rrry Do44'1417 g°940. 144144.1. ksil a cow the fsynkite kidney rem*. nti . 11)0dfli KidneyRill$ • ' • 7, Canning Cornea There was probably sre II9AWM . • ,'• canning done this year thaner be!. fore: With fruit none too PleteMI and sugar precious, women,took.eXtra precautions to prevent loss through spoilage.

Many people who live in the country experience that early morning ehill . in their houses as a matter of course. This year, town and country are in sympatby, as. it people are following the example of their country coosins and are keep- ing their furnaces off as long as pos- sible. • While the weather is comparative- ly warm, preparation for a long, hard winter, should be made. Weather-stripping lo el s e • fitting doors and windows, calking cracks and open sedans .of exterior casings; installing storm windows and doors will wipe" out most draughts and heat wasters atmoderate cost. Heating engineers say that proper weather- stripping *ill save half a ton of cpal in the average home. -Not to keep away peeping Toms, but to preventaheat from being dis- sipated When it strikes cola glass, pull down window shades as soon as it becomes dark. An additional help is to draw draperies and curtains across the windows. When a fire isn't burning in the grate, close the fireplace damper. If there is no damper, stuff the chimney opening with newspapers. If there is a coal or wood stove in the kitchen, instead of turning on the furnace, leave the doors open so that some of the heat will circulate about the house., Being a little chilly in the autumn of 1943 ehould be regard- ed as all in aday's war work. vk0t4.;, joetif tit 141. c4c,e44400***, Hiliidrew00%, #4440;744.4! ilif4te; the '144,14elk 514 1#4 exeresiatiee inks, Trot rilasienae.: pow Pikke"rPetiii%rrry Do44'1417 g°940. 144144.1. ksil a cow the fsynkite kidney rem*. nti . 11)0dfli KidneyRill$ • ' • 7, Canning Cornea There was probably sre II9AWM . • ,'• canning done this year thaner be!. fore: With fruit none too PleteMI and sugar precious, women,took.eXtra precautions to prevent loss through spoilage.
