This task is the more difficult as the enemy has a greater number of planes. This, j however, does not in the least affect the way our airmen carry on their job. It is this wonderful spirit that has been the means of holding the Naris in cheek. A young flier is quoted as saving “Give has odd 1 to 3 against Tem'y, and we’re all right. One to two is a set-up.” What a game bunch these flying lads are.

His wife, the former Annie Cantelon. whom he married in the early ‘70’s, died 12 years ago.

Once in a while a batch of jelly just refuses to set or is thick, gummy and tough, or having set to a perfect consistency, is cloudy or too dark. Jelly failures are not necessary*. The Consumer Section, Marketing Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, offers advice to prevent such trouble. Care in selecting fruit is important —a mixture of slightly under-ripe and fully ripe fruit gives best flavour and consistency. A little added acid some­ times is necessary. Lemon juice is commonly used, allowing 1 tablespoon to 1 cup of non-acid fruit, but 1 cup of rhubarb cooked with 10 cups non­ acid fruit gives excellent results. When fruit contains too little pectin the commercially prepared pectin may be added, in which case the directions given by the manufacturers should be followed exactly. Too much water added in cooking fruit makes unsatisfactory jelly, as juice must be cooked a long time to | evaporate excess water, and this extra all tow-priced cooking apples I boiling destroys some pectin, darkens »r» | colour and spoils flavour. Jelly should ’■be cooked to exactly the consistency if when two separate drops form on the ;. elge of the spoon and ran together a 'ji "sheet” off the spoon. ;( Sugar crystals usually are result of too much added sugar, over-ripe fruit, •j or over cooking of syrup, thereby re- There are over one million apple trees in Ontario that are neverspray- ed and should be cut down as they are hotbeds of disease, says P. W. Blodgetts, Director of the Fruit Branch, Ont. Dept, of Agriculture, Toronto. The last census showed there were over 200,000 farms in On­ tario with 170,000 of these farms hav­ ing fruit trees, mostly apples. Not 25,000 farmers sprayed their trees, Mr. Hodgetts stated. Insect pests have increased rapidly in the last 30 years due to neglected orchards. In. 1910 only three sprays i were necessary to combat disease and' produce good clean apples, while in 1940 seven sprays or more will be needed to ensure quality fruit. San Jose scale is still bad in south­ western Ontario due to neglected or- cards as breeding places. Mr. Hodgetts stated some of the larger commercial growers were cut­ ting out odd varieties and older trees. These varieties being removed includ­ ed Baldwins. Starks, Ontario?, 'Wag­ ners — <' ’ — due to the lessened demand in : competition with such varieties as ,Mc- jjlntosh, Delicious and Spy. I "There is only one way to get rid 3 of these disease-infested trees, and j that is to appeal to the farmers' go ?d sense and community spirit,” said Mr. Hodgetts. TESTED RECIPES ar. Cloudy jelly is not well strained. Heavy Canton flannel, or flannel, or four thicknesses of cheesecloth, make good jelly bags. Mould or ferment may appear in spite of large sugar content of jelly if jars are not thoroughly sterilized. They should be boiled for 20 minutes and removed from the water with tongs just as needed for filling. A thin coating of paraffin may be poured on while jelly is hot, but this will break away from the edges as the jelly cools, and another layer must be added to seal perfectly, A piece of string laid across the jar between the two layers makes it easier to remove the wax when opening for use. A pa­ per cover over all keeps the surface clean and aids in preventing spoilage. “Weeping” jelly is sometimes seen. This means that syrup appears around or oozes through the wax. In a stor­ age place too warm or too damp mois­ ture may collect and cause “weeping.” If this condition is discovered before any actual spoilage begins, another layer of wax may be poured over, tak­ ing care to rotate the glass slightly so that wax may be well up around the inside of the jar. With care in following these points perfect jelly should result.
