Editorial

A long time ago. we read
poem, the meaning of which
we've never forgotten, even
tho we don't recall the
wording.
1t may be summed up thus:
"If l KNEW you and you
KNEW me there would no
longer be misunderstanding
betwixt you and me-
This is mentioned today be-
cause of an instance that
happened last week. A lady
ordered d package to be de-
livered to a certain part of
the city and we promised it
at certain time. But the
package did not arrive on
schedule. The lady kindly
called us up and asked for
her package. An investiga-
ton followed which revealed
that the driver of the truck
had had a blowout" and
engine trouble which delay
ed his deliveries quite a
while. Everything was fixed
up satisfactorily.
How nice it would be if every
body would notify us of any
thing that displeases them.

FRESH TOMATOES FOR THANKS
GIVING
Late Ripening May BE Accomplished
by Pulling Vines Before Frost
and Hanging in Cellar

In Colorado, the froGts generally
come Just when the tomatoes are in
the middle of their bearing season.
Naturally we hate to lose our vines
while they are still producing. We
can protect them against the first
Iisht frosts by covering them, but
this is quite a bit Of bother and ex-
tends the life of the vines for only
u limited time. When the heavy and
regular frosts set in, we have to en-
ploy some other means Of preserving
the tomatoes.
The green tomatoes can be picked
off the vines and used green or placed
in the sun to ripcn. They ripen
quickly in this manner and in two
weeks they are usually gone. Some
pcople extend the ripening period by
wrapping the tomatoes in paper and
keeping them in a cool place. In
this way it is possible to prolong the
-cason for fresh tomatoes several
weeks. The tomato season may be
cxtcrded even later by pulling up the
vines and hanging them in cool eel
lar or basement. Here they ripen
very slowly. The writer pulled his TO-
p,ato vines the last of September He
had fresh tomatoes for Thanksgiving
dinner and there are still some ripen-
ing on the vincs.-Alfred Westfall'

our sailors and our allies.
