The Brussels Post, 1957-07-31, Page 61 * The right way is the easy way, so process for the right time and, by the right method for the food being canned. Set jars upright, far apart and out of a draft to cool, sik Rash Of 'Trash' The current brand, of popular music is far from popular with some experts; At his Chapel Hill, N,C., home, retired bandleader Kay Kyser, 51, whose "Kollege of Musical Knowledge" was one of the first radio-quiz giveaways of the '30s, observed; "A solid 85 per cent of the American public still like music with a melody . . I don't understand this bop and rock 'n' roll stuff. I doubt if more than a handful of people do." Kyser believes that the tunes he popu- larized, such as the zany "Three Little Fishes" and "One-zy Two- zy (I Love You-zy)" would be just as contagious today as they were 'way back when. In a letter to a Senate com- mittee investigating monopoly charges against music publishere and broadcasters, crooner Bing Crosby, 53, commented; "It just galls me exceedingly to see se much trash on our air lanes and TV screens. There is much to be said about the influence of popu- lar music on public taste, morals and ideals, and what people are hearing, these days hardly achieves a salutary result. It's just not too good," If canning fruits or tomatoes, pour a little water in the can- ner and set it over heat; then add more water to fill canner half full.

Lubeck, C'Terrnany, a tear- ful middle-aged wife get a di- vorce after complaining that her husband gave her magazine de- tective stories to read, but al- ways spoilt her enjoyment of them by writing the name of the murderer on the second page. In Prague, a man divorced his wife because she had "a mania for cleanliness" which left her little time to look after his meals. A Frenchwoman's reason for wanting a divorce was the fact that her husband had a twin brother. "This twin brother used to go out with his girl friend, but as I could never tell the twins apart I never knew whether it was my husband who was going out with the girl," she explained. One day she confided all her troubles to her brother-in-law, by mistake. As a result, she de- cided that divorce was the only way out and took it. A striptease dancer in South America filed a suit to divorce her husband because, her lawyer explained, "She resents the fact that her husband does not resent the fact that she is doing this kind of work." The judge grant- ed the divorce. Two years ago, an American woman living in Brazil got a divorce because of her professor- husband's extraordinary absent- mindedness. She said that he al- ways wore odd socks and shoes, forgot to shave or wash for weeks on e n d and frequently went to bed wearing all his clothes, forgetting to take off even his muddy boots. Canning days are with us once more and before you start canning fruits you may want to know how many cans you can expect from a certain amount of fresh fruit or vegetable. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued this chart which will give you this information. Legal weight of a bushel of fruit varies in' different states. These are average weights: Food Fresh Canned Apples 1 bu. (48 lbs) 16 to 20 gts, 21/2 to 3 lbs. 1 qt. Berries, except strawberries 24-qt. crate 12 to 18 qts. 5 to 8 cups 1 qt. 1 bu.

Strawberries Tomatoes Can Bees Make Us Live Longer ? Scientists in "Germany and Russia are probing the secrets of "royal jelly." They believe it contains substances which may help human beings to live lon- ger, and attain a greater pitch of health and happiness. "Royal jelly," valued at more than $700 an ounce, is the sub- stance issuing from the tiny head glands of bees, whose duty in life is to nurse and nourish the Queen Bee in her hive. Liv- ing on this substance, she per- forms her stupendous egg rais- ing feats. Experiments with the jelly al- ready suggest it may have al- most miraculous properties. Hens, injected with it, have per- formed remarkable laying feats. Fruit flies, given a taste -under laboratory con dit ion s, have grown far bigger than their nor- mal size and stronger. The elixir of life, a virtual food of the gods for Queen Bees, may before long play an equally vital role in reinforcing the hu- man family's stamina.

Mankind might then dispense largely with language, radio and the telegraph. All com- municating would be done, in- stead by direct transference of thought. Experiments in the United States have already shown that at least every other, person is capable of telepathy, especially those who are in close emotional contact. ' An American woman, Ruth Johnson, of Oklahoma, was so telepathic that when she stood for public office she decided to hold no meetings. Instead, she declared that she would coin- triunicate with the„electors tele- pathically at stated times every day. Seine electors said they re- teived her messages, but she was not elected. When the airship RH crashed into the Ilumbet in 1921, Cob Harvey, then the American am- bassador in Britain, turned to seine friends at the moment of the disaster and said: "I cannot rid Myself of the impression that something has happened to the R38". he eventually had to give up his game of croquet because the impression so oppressed hirri. This is scientifically regarded as a case of telepathy and not premonition.
