The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1945-07-05, Page 6Page 6 THE TJMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY S, 1945 It’s Cooling Hello Homemakers! Do you can garden-fresh flavour? "Whittle down those hours between garden and jar. The shorter the time taken for the complete process, the better the flavour, texture, color and vitamin tally. Sound, top-quality, fresh food to work with is a must. Canned food is only ab good as it was when it went into the jar. Overripe or bruised fruit is not worth your time or jar; it may not even keep. iAye your fruits as clean as a whistle? Tick over and clean fruit under a good light. Dq your jars shine and sparkle? Clean, sterile jars are a necessity to successful canning. Use lots of hot rich suds, a dish mop and a bottle brush. Rinse well in hot water and scald. Discard jars with nicks and cracks. Are you sure you know the right way to use your jar caps? Vacuum caps should be turned back inch, those with screw Jbands % turn. After processing, screw bands should be tightened; the clamp-type secured by lowering the second clamp. Never re-use war­ time rubber rings or vacuum-seal lids with rings of rubber compound. Zinc ox’ tin bands -which have be­ come hard and dry should also be replaced. Do you accurately precook (blanch) before packing? A quick precooking shrinks the food and sets the color, so that each jar con­ tains the optimum amount. If direc­ tions read, “Precook 5 minutes in boiling -water,” its the signal for you to put food in boiling water, let it return quickly to boil, then begin 5 minute timing. Be accurate. "Watch the clock. Do not let food stand around because delays may cause flat-sour. Do you crowd food into jars? Crowding may interfere with the thorough cooking required for safe­ keeping. Crowding may prevent a tight seal, ‘Leave % inch above truit to top of jar, but then fill to overflowing with boiling liquid. Do you know how to “burp” the jar? Run a knife down the inside to free air bubbles. Blup, blup—the liquid fills the gaps. After this treatment, fill again to the top with liquid. "When using a boiling water bath, do you mount your jars on.a rack % inch from the bottom of the deep kettle with the water covering one inch over their tops? They should stand at least % inch apart, so that hot water can circulate. Do you keep the water boiling steadily, adding boiling watei' if necessary.? Do you process for the exact number of minutes? Then dip out some of the water and it will be easier to lift out the finished pro­ duct. Place the jars on a pad of paper, away from drafts; complete seal and let cool. Label jars and store in a cool, dry place. Don’t depend on the .grapevine directions of your neighbours, use an approved timetable. DO YOU NEED THE EXTRA MONEY ?

Then, refresh by re­ dying in a single color. Stripes will show slighty, but results will be successful. Or paint with house paint thinned with 14 as much tur­ pentine. Apply a thin coat and brush int0 fibres. Mrs. J. C. asks: How often should I have to defrost electric refriger­ ator? Answer: Always defrost before the frost builds up to % inch, (thickness of pencil). Every two weeks is 'usually the case in the small home group—once a week if it is used frequently. Mrs. J. B. suggests: Use paprika instead of pepper these days. T * -T Anne Allan invites you to write to her %The Times-Advocate.

JOHN IL A BATT LIMITED London Canada A Letter from Germany ♦ Gunner Albert Gibson writes an interesting letter from Germany to his mother, Mrs. Wm. Gibson, of Centralia, Dear Mother, I guess it is time I wrote again and let you know where I am. I left Borden, England (the only camp I was in while there) on May 23rd and went by truck to Siphook and from there by bus to London. We didn’t go right into the city but to Tiibouny, a suburb. From there we boarded the “Duke of York” for Ostend, Bel­ gium, arriving next day at Ostend which was once ‘a beautiful place until the “Jerries” bombed it in 1940 and several times since. We slept that night in a new Jerry barracks, «a grand building with all modern conveniences. We arrived in the morning so were given the day off to look around the city. The grand cathedrals which were partly bomb damaged stand up fairly well as they were so well built. Other buildings were flatten­ ed to the ground for blocks. In the early .evening I went through a department store which was partly standing among the ruins. I was amazed to see things in it I hadn’t seen at home for years. I had my first taste of ice­ cream since last New Years’. It was good too but it cost plenty, 10 francs, about 20 cents in Canadian money. I was also treated to my first cherries and strawberries of the season by a girl in a small fruit store which had escaped the bombs. The Belgian people are very friendly. We left next day, staying near Ghent in a very large factory which the Germans took over as barracks and then we took from them. It covers about 10 acres. We spent two days there then continued on down through Holland. It is really beau­ tiful country with clean homes and vilages and neatly built dykes and canals, also old windmills which stand about 1'0'0- feet high. Some parts in the main path of the war, there isn’t anything except a few trees left, whole villages be­ ing wiped out. But through it all the people still seem brave and happy, working their little farms amid the ruins. We came through fairly slow by train in order to see the country. At all stations the people cheered while we gave the children candy and chocolate bars. The lattei’ part of our journey was taken by truck. Southern Hol­ land is .grand *with its highways lined with big, tall trees meeting over the centre of the road. It is like that for miles. There are also sidewalks built along the highways foi’ pedestrians and bicycles. I went on a tour to Wilhelmak- aven and enjoyed it very much. We had one of our lads who could speak German ask the Jerries some questions then tell us in English. One of them lay in the St. Law­ rence river 21 days and sank three ships. He even told us the names of them. I remember when that happened. Another had just return­ ed from Japan. One of their sub­ marines is over 285 feet long. They still live aboard them. • I have been writing this outside, so as it is starting to rain I will have to quit. Hope all are well as I am.
