Cherries, strawberries. peaches, 1,,t1:•.etears and rhubarb require a pectin „4 or jell -rich combination to give' the beet results.

"The Drew policy can only lead to doubtetaxation for the people of Ontario- without the .benetts that would have accrued if agreements had been reached." Mr. Oliver was sire that the "pound of flesh attitude taken by Drew and Duplessie would. not be allowed to stand in. the way of progressive, eco- nomic arat inkjet legislation." .

Pa,nada's Vapaolty Perhaps . the most interesting 'pnb- lication coining out of Canada's otipi- tal city is the "Cromtnerciar Intelli- gence Journal," issued every Sattir- day by the Department of Tradeand, Commerce. Here we find overwhel*- ing• proof that one-third of every -dol- lar-spent in Canada comes from our Position as a world trader. Canadian export of Wood, wood „products and paper has increased front $180 .mil- lion in, the first 'five months of 1945 to $222. million in the first five months of, 1946. Fibres, textiles and textile products exports are $26 mil- lion to the end of May, 1946, and were $29 million for the first five months of 1945. Agriculture and vegetable products, export's are $231 million compared with $238 million for the same period las,t year. Last year animals and animal products ex- ports were $164 million and $149 mil- lion, in the first five months of this year. Fur eXports are up to $20 'mil- lion compared with ,412 million 'for the same period last year. When it is considered that last year's exports included all good for war .pnrposes, Canada's showing in world trade, is extremely satisfactory. Iron and its products are, ef course,. down from $305 million which included tan.ks and ammunition in the first five mouths of last Year and $92 • million up to May 31, 1946. For the Benefit of Mankind. Political gossip in the Capital city is still, interested in the significance of the Prime Minister's address—as leader of the Liberal Panty—on the c.B.c.; national" network last week. 'Whether or not it had any hidden meaning, Mr. Kink's continued inter- est in the affairs of the party has stir- red rank .and file Liberals to new heights of enthusiasm. Outstanding among the news reveal- ed by Mr. King Was the liteitive statement the policy agreed .to at Washington, *bet ween himself, Mr. Attlee and ..Mr. Truinan was to pre- vent the use of atomic energy for destructive purposes and to promote its use for the benefit of mankind. That there were good proOpects ef the peace conference Meeting in the near future, -was .good news for all the • v:nrld. That Canada has supplied 25 mit- linn pounds of clething and: ofie-fifth of all the food needed to help "bind. up the wounds and to rescue from disease and •stareation •the stricken peoples of • war • ravaged lands" b-rotight a glow to, Canadian hearts. The assurance that the Liberal gOi!- ernment welcomed the world Confer- • ence on trade was happily received. all across 'Canada. The Liberal Par- ty has re -asserted in the' strongest possibletennis; through: its leader, its conviction, that no. lasting prosperitY can co rne to Canada without a high level of, world *trade. There has been 'widespread, •satis- • faction on the Liberal leaders assur- ance that the. proposed separate •agreements between the federal gov- ernment and the provinces was only an interim arrangement pending a general agreement as mien as it can be obtained. Timely too was Mr. King's call to Canadians no( toehe too dismayed at the trouble and an -moil of the world.

FOR QUICI4 RELIEF OF HEADACHE & Other Pains 58 eee i.,*;-re.seorierMtieefe; 58 anning Questions And Answers At this time ofyear hundreds of letters from homemakers seeking help with their,canning problems, pour in- to the offioe of the Consumer Section of the Dpminion DePartMent of Agri- culture,. I:fere are some of the .most frequently asked, questions and an- swers. "All the recognized authorities on home canning used to insist that seal- ers be sterilized before using. Now a lot of people say this int neces- sary. Can you tell me why?" •It ii --not necessary to sterilize seat - eye before tieing ,because the•process- ing of food in the sealers sterilizes both food and sealers. However, it is essential that sealers be thoroughly washed in hot soapy water and well rinsed in clear hot . water. Sealers, with glass lids in place, should be placed on. a tray in the oven and the oven heated to 225 degrees F., or they should' be half-filled with. het water, placed on the Tack in the boiling wae ter bath,' surrounded with hot water and .brought to boiling point. Sealers should be left ih water or oven until ready to fill. "My strawberries„ always seem to float in the sealers. Can I prevent this ?" Now that sugar is rationed there is less likelihood of this happening then when heavy syrup was used. Some fruits will float to the top of the ,seal - if too heavy a syrup is used. Syrup in the proportion of one pup sugar to one and .one-half cups 'water is re,. commended for strawberries and. peaches. • Often. an even thinner sy- rup may . be used. Over -processing •may cause fruit to float even in thin 'syrup.. ., 'Mother always did 'up her fruit by the open kettle 'Method, we liked it and it kept well except for,the occa- sional jar that went moldy. Now you do not suggest this method, whatis the reason?"' • • The open kettle method is not. re- commended lbecause there is a •great risk of 'spoilage • unless very heady syrup- is used. The method of pack- ing sealers and sterilizing both seal- ers and' food tOgether i easier and much eafer. •The product will be more, attractive as the food is less, likely to break up. • •• •* "My neighbor tel Me that I can de. up feta without sugar. I seems to me it would not keep.• Please tell ene • if I can do it this way as my .sugar ration doesn'tt.seeni to go very far." The keeping quality of canned fruit does not, depend on' the addition of sugar but rather on sufficient process- ing and the , use Of airtight sealers. However, the shape, .color and flavor of • some fruits are •retained better when some sugar iseadded There are two methods that may be followed in canning fruit without sug- ar. Small- juicy fruits, berries, cher- ries, rhubarb and juicy plums should- • be washed and part of the fruits crushed in. the bottom of a preeerving. kettle. The remaining fruit is then added and heatedfor a' few minutes -or until juice just starts to flow. If necessary, a little water may be add- ed to prevent scorching. The stealers. are packed solidly, crushing fruit down slightly, se that it is covered with juice. The filled sealers .are. then processed. . • Fruit canned by tnis. method and sweetened. to taste When opened is excellent for pies and desserts. • . Large fruits, such as peaches, pears and •plums are 'Prepared and:packed in the sealers. ,Two inches of boiling water should be putein the bottens. of the canner, the. uncov.ered, sealers placed pis the rack in' the canner which should be. covered tightly. The filled sealers are then steamed from .20 to 30 minutes or until the, fruit shrinks and the juice flows. The sealer ti are .then removed, from ther. canner end the fruit and juice from one or two of the • sealers, is •used to fill the others. If there is not suffici- ent juice to completely cover the frnit„ boiling watef-May Wadded. The lids are then put on, partially• sealed and the sealers processed the, requir-ed,time. If the fruits canned by this method are- to be served for dessert they requlie some preparation before using. The juice should beedrained off, enough water added to make two cups of liquid .for each quart 'sealer, then brought to a bell, sweetened to taste and poured over the fruit - Best flavor is developed. if this is done sev- eral hours before using so that the fruit will be thoroughly Sweetened. , ' . The proctesing times vary accord- ing to the fruit e canned. •Complete tabled for processing will be found in 'the bulletin, "Home Canning of and, Vegetables' ," available free of charge, 'upon request, from the De--• partment of Agriculture in.
