Vegetables—especially string beans,
earn, peas and beets—require pro-
eessipg in a pressure cooker to guar-
antee successful canned products. If
you haye a pressure cooker, kindly
share it. Be clever in your use of
equipment. Use keen -edged knives.
scalded utensils and lots of water.
Methods For -Canning Vegetables
1. In buying war rubber
rings, buy according to type of jar:
Read label on the box. If pre-war
rubber rings spring back after being
folded double, they may be used. Be-
fore using, pour boiling water over
-rings and zinc tops and let stand
about one minute,
2. int jars are preferable for
vegetables. Jars and glass tops mast
be free from nicks and cracks. Match
the lids—do not let lids "rock" on
jars.
3. Sterilization of the equipment is
important. Thoroughly scrub every
utensil and bo-wa to be .used with 'a
good brush in hot, soapy water. Then
rinse and sterilize. For water ster-
ilization, half fill each jar with clear
water; place glass tops in position
and stand jars in boiler or large ket-
tles. Add spoons, knife, bowls and
funnel. Bring water to boil and let
boil 15 minutes. Take jars out wben
ready fo fill, one at a •time.
4. Preparation of Vegetables: (a)
Use fresh vegetables. Can them an
hour or so after gathering and in the
meantime keep them in a cool place
as bacteria •begins to grow in a warm
kitchen. (b) Sort according to size,

tration. Cover vegetables with

minutes.
6. Prepare
ilized jar on
to fill jars. Place sten
scalded pie plate; put
Tubber ring on; insert funnel and
have scalded utensils ready. (Keep
utensils on plate). Work quickly;
pack fairly loosely to allow for ex-
pansion. Fill to within one -halt inch
of top. or one inch if canning peas
or corn. Pour hot liquid, in which
they were pre-cooked, up to brim;
slide sterilized knife down in jar to
let out air; add 44 'teaspoon salt to
each pint jar; place glass top on and
partially seal. With screwtop seal-
ers. screw tightly, then unscrew a
half turn; with wire -clamp jars, ad-
just top clamp but -do not spring
down lower one,
7. Processing by hot water bath.
Set filled jars on rack in wash boil-
er, large preserving kettle or galvan-
ized iron pail.' - The rack may be a
wire rack, a shingle or a chopping
board. You may have to improvise
a lid to fit container. Pour hot water
into processor or cooker to a level
two inches above the tops of the jars.
Count the time of sterilization from
the time the water boils. Keep wa-
ter boiling. Have hot water ready to
add to keep sealers covered—if they
become uncovered there may be
seepage from jars.

Vegetables
Even experienced homemakers have
had some spoilage with peas, corn
and string beans. • These vegetables
are difficult to home can (without a
pressure cooker) because they are
non-acid. We can now recommend
the following procedure to add acid-
ity. Wash string beans, string top
and tail, wash and cut in uniform siz-
es. Put into kettle, cover with wa-
ter and boil three minutes. Pack to,
within one inoh of top, cm jar half
full of canned tomatoes, then fill to
top with liquid used in pre-cooking.
Process in water bath for ltO hours.

health and, hearing proclaim them to
be the erealn of the nation's anan-
hood, displaying the courtesy of the
disciplined and evincing ale modesty
that cornea from facing fear.
Qut of their experiences these men
imbibed wisdom before youth lost its
-lustiness. Their stride and poise set
theta apait as are those who achieve
a great purptse; but they seem eager
null wistful—uncertain of the harbin-
ger of peace after escaping from the
turmoil of war,
They feel the loneliness of being
adrift from their comrades, and
nostalgia for the ways of war lingers
to make thein ask themselves if they
can fit in now that they have re-
turned. They are not quite at home
amid the .pedestrian throngs they
pined to rejoin and, feeling so, must
wonder how- this is. It is not that
they hold theraselveS aloof; but it
may be that -we do.
These are not men to desire the
attention which they cannot help at-
tracting. They talk about things as
do other men, except that they say
little about the war. They boast of
little things that do not count, but
it's hard •to come across the fellow
who boast about himself. Few throw
a "line," as the airmen say; and most
resent being extolled as just so much
more bunco.
In our innermost depths we derive
something fine and rare from seeing
them on our streets, and, as nature
ordains, we crave for ourselves a re-
flection of the glory which is theirs
alone. But to let them ktow this
would be to have them scoff and
damn us with ribald phrases.
There is noway to ease their dis-
may at fading how hard it is to get
out of uniform and become one with
us again. They plodded along war's
hard road, but did not know that •the
glide from military life into the so-
cial circle is seldom smooth and of-
ten dangerous.
This is the battle these men of
this war find they've come home to
engage in, just as it was the battle
whicb older soldiers came back to
fight in their day. But if ever young
soldiers, young sailors, young airmen
released from war looked fit to :fight

age and forbearance, and even with
loving regard, we believe they are

More About Hitler
As Mr. Churchill sat looking rather
disgustedly, into a pit of rubble in
the courtyard of the chancellery at
Berlin, a newspaper correspondent in
South America was putting together
the latest rumor of the Whereabouts,
of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. They
were said to have died, rather ig-
nominiously from poisoning, during
the last of the Russian siege of Ber-
lin, and the truth of them having
been burned is supposed to be attest-
ed by the battered gasoline cans sug-
gestively left lying around.
Hitler is supposed to be dead, and
certainly received some official re-
cognition for his demise; but it is
most singular that no high officer of
the German state has given witness
to his death except to be proved a
liar, and only minor functionaries
have related stories of his end.
These stories are well concocted if
largely fable; but none of them an-
swers the challenge of the' Russian
Marshal Zukhov, who declared that
no one found by the Russian 'army
had seen Hitler's dead body; and no
story has, again, been sufficiently
Credible to make General Eisenhower
change his uncertainty that Hitler
died.
It' takes sources in 'Argentina to
-weave stories about the missing Hit-
ler and Eva Braun that are vouched
for as being true while woven in
phantasy. There was the photograph
of Hitler, dead, reposing in his cof-
fin; but this revolting desecration
was proved to be a defacement of
tbe body 01' the former Austrian pre-
mier. Dr. Engelbert 1?ollfues, as he
lay in death in his coffin..
A more' embroidered story coming
again from Argentina now tells that
Hitler and Eva Braun escaped. from
Germany to be landed by a German
submarine en a lonely beach in south-
ern Argentina. The story is embroid-
eredEva Braun wears mescaline
dress, but no mention is made of
ier 'having shaved his moustache.
They are smuggled on to a vast es-
tate oWned by aeztaans in Patagonia,
but they appear to have left their tiro
children behiee theta. . •

statistics; Canada's hog production
tilts year is down almost 35 per cent,
while United States hog production
is down nearly 50 per cent. TO.e17.S.
have virtually ceased meat -shipments
to Britain, though Canada has been
shipping even more meat than the
United States to the British people.
While Canada's hog 'production is
down about 35 per cent, Canadian
cattle production — that is, cattle
available
available for marketing, is op • this
year by more than- 28- per cent. So
Canada's total decline in all' forms of
meat is down by only about 17 per
cent.
What the 'Wartipae Prices and
Trade Board now seeks to do is to
reduce Canadian meat consumption
by about 11 per cent so that "United
Kingdom peoplswill at least be able
to get their recently reuced meat ra-
tion. It is 'by no paeans certain that
meat rationing in Canada can achieve
that—it is merely an objective.
In the first half of last year, 1944,
Canada's total meat production (that
is, meat from inspected plants not
including slaughter on the farms), in-
cluding hogs, beef, veal,- mutton,
Iamb, etc., was 10Q7,247,000 pounds.
In' the first half of the year, 1945,
Canada's total production of the same
meats fell to 832,000,000 pounds, a dao
crease of about 17 per cent.
• The result is seen in the exports:
lst half lst half
1944 1945
(millions lbs.)
Beef 57 79
Bacon and pork 434 235
Canned meats 29 30
Total 521 364
But of the canned meats exported
to Britain, the United 'Kingdom, in
turn shipped a large proportion to
the liberated nations of Europe for
emergency relief.
In the first six months of 1944 meat
consumption in Canada was about
476 million pounds, an average of
about 18,200,000 pounds per week.
Corresponding Canadian meat con-
sumption for the first six months' of
this year, 1945, was about 456 million
pounds, some 17,500,000 pounds a
week, a negligible reduction.
Thus these figures show clearly
that the decline of 17 per cent in
Canadian meat production was re -
fleeted •in decline of exports and not
of domestic consumption.
Due to U.S. announcement of eir-
tually cutting off of meat exports to
Britain this year, the British govern-
ment, on May 27th, cut the •fresh
meat ration to United Kingdom con-
sumers froth one shilling and two
pence per week, per person., to one
shilling of fresh meat, and two pence
of canned meats. Since the British
shilling is now equivalent to about 22
cents Canadian, anyone can easily
figure what a small handful of meat
that means to British Men, women
and children—it's less than half a
pound. At the same time, the Brit-
ish bacon ration was cut from four
to three ounces per person per week.
'If Canada were to make up th4 de-
ficiencies in the British meat supply,
this year, Canada would have to in-
crease her meat exports by '200 mil-
lion pounds instead o the 140 million
pounds of additional exports the War-
time Prices and Trades Board is fig-
uring on by means of rationing in
Canadt.
. But in addition, Canada has to
help meet ,the demand of the starv-
ing people in liberated countries of
Europe. For, example, Canada is
commited to 'supply 100 minion
pounds of canned meat to UNRRA,
of which 84 million pounds still have
to be produced. Assuming that 15
million pounds of this canned meat
will be manufactured wholly from by-
products, it is estiatated that the
balance will tequire 65 million pounds
carcass weight of beef; this canned
meat, of course, is going wholly to
the liberated countries. ,

Late Lust
The north winds do blow. They
laave kept us cold and the crop back-
ward,' bot they also prevented spores
of leaf rust from *ming north. '
Our wheats are now immune from
damage by the deadly stem rust, but
leaf rust, a different and milder dis-
ease, can still knock 30 or 40 per
cent off the return from Thatcher,
our highest -yielding and most popu-
lar wheat. The wheat crop is two t�
three weeks late, but So is the leaf
rust. The plant diseases laboratory
atAthe University of Manitoba, for-
merly known as the "Rust Lab," finds
the amount of leaf rust on plants
about normal for the heading stage
which the wheat is just. reaching.
This probably means that in the
Red River Valley, which gets the first
benefit of spore showers from south
of the border, Thatcher wheat• will
lose a few bushels per acie, Regent
wheat, 'which is more resistant to leaf
rust, should do better in the early
leaf rust area.
The plant breeder who gives us a
wheat that yields as well as Thatch-
er, but is resietant to leaf rust will
add a fear million bushels to the av-
erage western wheat crop. It is a
job -worth doing.
