THE QUESTION BOX In answer to many queries- 'about preserving vegetables by salting, we give the folloVaing directions, etress- ing thorough . cleanliness of vege- tables, drying after washing with ab- sorbent towels, the use of clairjasalt and a cool storage place. Salting Method For Green Beans, Peppers and Cauliflower Vegetables such as green beans, pepper and ,catrliflower that do not contain enough juice to - farm their own brine, can be preserved by be- ing covered with brine., Wash, dry and weigh the vege- tables. Cut green beans einto• inch lengths; separate cauliflower into floWerets; leave cucumbers and pep- pers whole. Pack the prepared vege- tables loosely into 'stone jar, leaving space for brine to cover them. Esti- mate the amount of brine you'll need to fill. To make the brine, use 3i/4 cups of salt to 6 quarts of water ("common" or "coarse" salt or dairy salt is bet- ter here than fine table salt). ' Pour 'brine over vegetables, and cover jar with plate or pie plate right side up. Weight down as you do for kraut. Next day add one pound salt for ev- ery' 10 pounds of vegetables used. (This is to bring the brine up to its original strength). At the end of the week, add 1/4 pound ealt, and re- peat the process every week until five weeks have been marked off on the calendar. Now your vegetables should be cured. One thing to remember when add - 41 • ememisei 44A1404140mmwkr r"-) SAME IMO ISOM •HOTEL MERU ROOM WM. COMMON COIRUNIEULO, ;LOCOED HOUL AIA AUL id COMM ST.

"Darling, we're going to have a glorious time this evening," said the newly engaged lover. "I've got four seats for the theatre." "But why four seats, 'darling?" ask- ed his fiancee. • "Two for your mother and father, and two for your brother and sister," he answered, ing salt is to place it on top of the plate so that it will dissolve slowly without sinking to the bottom, Salt should not touch the vegetables'. Skim off the scum as it forms. Clip the following method to de- salt since you will not ,be using these vegetables for several months: To freshen vegetables cured in, brine, place them in a ,hig kettle, cov- er with cold water, and heat slowly to lukewarm, stirring frequentlY. Pour off water, and repeat process several times efintil vegetables are only slightly salty. Or, soak several hour i in several waters, until they taste just right;; then cook. 'The beans and cauliflower are seasoned and served as usual; green peppers are" oftenstuffed and baked. Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Huron ExpoSitor.

C. Manning claims that it has been a "darn good government." With the abandonment of the two major policies with which it startedut, pa, and with the passing of Permier Aberhart a -year ago, the Social Cred- it party has little resemblance to what it was formerly. The Independent party a,nd the ,C. C. F. are also throwing themselves into this contest. In the last election, Social Credit won 35 seats and the Independents 19, out of a total of 57. The first; seat won by the C.C.F, Was in Edmonton, where Mr. Elmer Roper was returned in a -by-election two years ago. While the situation' in Alberta, is not nearly , so favorable to the C.C.F. es it -waein Saskatchewan, the party is preparing for an utmost effort. This is distinctly pai•t of the "On to Ot- tack" design. National and provin- cial leaders will come in to help in the campaign — Mr. Coldwell, Mr. Winch, Mr. Jolliffe and -ten speakers from Saskatchewan, doubtless includ- ing Premier Douglas. Does the C.C.F. really hope to ride the Alberta broncho? The Social Credit party probably has still a fairly solid vote in the rural parts, and the Independents 'should have a stronger organization than four years ago. The C.C.F: may know that it is tackling a bard job if it thinks of Canning Methods Approved "We eat what we can and what we can't, we can," said a farmer's wife, talking of the garden which supplies her family with vegetables and fruits the year round. ' This woman like a host of others -across the country is making very 'sure- that ,this year no fruits or vege- tables which can be preserved for future use are allowed to go to 'waste. Pew vegetables taste better than fresh beans, picked 'when still young and tender and•cboked—not overcook- ed—in a' very little boiling salted wa- ter in a closely covered pan. Bacon dripping gives excellent flavour and those who like dill will enjoy the flavour given by adding a very little chopped dill to the beans while cook- ing. Beans mature quickly, usually faster than they can be eaten and the surplus, canned a few sealers at a time, soon adds lip td a goodly store which will taste ' mighty good next winter. The Consumer Section of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture gives a fresh bean recipe which they have recently tested and found Spe- cially good, an d approved :directions for canning. Canned Beans Wash and string beans. Leave whole or cut into pieces. Cover with boiling water, boil five minutes. Pack at once into hot sealers. Add one teaspoon of salt to each quart sealer and cover with boiling water, in which beans were cooked. Fill con- tainers to within one-quarter inch of the top for screw and spring top sealers and tin cans and one-half inch for vacuum type sealers. Re - Move air bubbles by running the blade of a knife down and around the inside of containers. Seal tin cans and vacuum type sealers; par- tially seal screw and spring top seal- ers.

Note:—If a pressure. cooker is not available and the boiling water bath is used, care must be taken that the full processin time is allowed and the water is rapidly bailing the whole time.

The Independent •Clitizens, A.spopla, tion, formed by the Liberela and the Conservativeand some .of the qld United Partners of Alberta; has an- nounced that itwill have at least 50 candidates. The party sheald have, a good chance of winning a inejleetty in a contest with two 'parties of the left, ecording to the Lethbridge Her- ald, "Much will depend," it says, "up- on whether citizens who are tired of experiMenting, decide that, the time hasaeogte to retuen to sanity in the administration of provincial affairs. If people who oil not ex- pect miracles turn out to the polls on August 8th, the Independent party has a very good chance to form the next government anal bring realism once more into ad- ministratioa of provincial affairs." A good deal will depend on organ- ization, also, and on the vigor that is -thrown into the campaign, in which there will be n,o lack of aggressive- ness in the Socialist party. Because. the government had de- stroyed the ,credit eef ,the province and no housing loans -wee available under The National Housing Act, the provincial government devised a bousing program which it announced on the eve of the election, and which would mean the advancing of funds up to 1],000,000 to match funds provided by the municipalities for housing loans. • If a settlement is soon Made with the bondholders and the provincial credit is restored, as now" seems 'like- ly, thie housing scheme will doubt less fade away, or be changed to a ]ow rental housing scheme. There are three strong contenders for popular favor in this • election, and as the campaign develops there will be' no political chinooks in that part of the country. ulrfV,ti A** 414,, #44 90,4146' ;. .0r:•4 T•f4Y117.4'Etqlditf. 040.01g' Al'fP":6W ,Y40.* 40.; AO "tatiniA, giallY,1.4:44#1,gf3-04,1m.1 41oNiiv kiln enatteriag b'and .109,99* A.w..100 OW:14: IArgo.0 .*4.4,,4.40AP;foiffi.* niainetery, male ,PElkt4•.0r014% ,P,4e104:,$1.de,it AbiCri"90. - BCV :1,0:910,440-10AV.en- little /Agar 4,•!, it eartiark, ;appeared, to he an oid- 13ois,. we at thn Vi:10**1, PrOmised to, identifY• kte „./21-nk wevi-ra* etn,aavi and Museum books data "knerva" everytatieg, for we eivuldn't find anything like it high r IoW 01111,11a we got -tive American Numismatic Society on the'treib Mid 'What did they' say?—that it was .a pike, put over on the innocent eon Aker by the wall.

Their family re- spoasibilities are over for, the year and the, hard work of food -hunting is made easy by the annual peak of the crop of insects, seeds and berries. Even the business of singing is large- ly suspended. Although most birds are obliged to grow a new suit of feathers in August, this can be ac- complished while loafing. By autumn they will be dressed in fresh new at- tire and fortified ,for the long trek southward by a reserve layer of fat beneath the skin. Little Cone Tells Big Story Coniferous trees similar to present day forms evidently flourished, in the area we now know as Southern Al- berta, long before the appearance of matt. Quite recently the Royal- On- tario Museum unearthed a splendidly preserved fossil cone resembling a pine cone in general appearance. It was disconered in the rocks avf the Red Deer Valley, the same rocks in which dinosaur skeletons are entomb- ed. The specimen is h rarity for probably only "one in a million" cones reaehed the fossil state. The tree that produced it once grew in a for- est which, occupied the borders of a long -vanished inland sea. It and the other trees of this ancient forest fin- ally perished, sank to earth, and be- came buried.- They are gone but not forgotten because their compacted re- mains give us today atleastsome of - • our western coal reserves and too, there is the fossil cone in the mus- eum as a reminder, Watcli Your Step It Wouldn't have been an accident if it couldn't have been prevented , . . would it!

Such pictures do serve a pur- posee but it takes more than correct exposure, proper development of film, and clear; sharp prints to make an appealing, human -interest picture. Consider, for example, the illustra- tions above-. The one at the top is technically a good snapshot but it is just another picture. Not the slightest bit of animation or action is appareett and the subjects seem to be anything but at ease; in fact _ they teem quite bored with the whole thing. But what a difference (lower) when e, little action is brought into the picture. And that simple little gadget called a •filter, which ships over the lens at a camera, darkens the sky, adds interest and quality to pictures. No, your subjects do not have to be actors or actresses.
