This is the call for support sent
by the International Labor Defense

in its campaign to defend the Ros-
lyn-Cle Elum miners charged with
''rioting."
The Roslyn strikers will need ev-
cry bit OF support that can be CIV
ell. Forty five men, women and
children will face a one to five year
term when the cases are called,
late in June. Prosecutor Short says
he will push every charge.
Word comes from ROslyn that the
Jury panel for the trials is picked
with coal company men, small bust
ness men under the thumb Of the
Northwest improvement Company

and Iegiannaires. The panel in
cludes the son OF one of the mine

out.

gin with a tour OF the two states,

OYSTER SEASON
 IS HERE AGAIN
Appetizing avs For Serving If You Don't
 Like 'Em Raw

With the arrival of the first "R" month of the fall, oysters are once again with us. While oysters are still a novelty, many of us enjoy eating them raw. But when oys- ters have been in season for sev- eral weeks, housewives begin to look around for ways in which they can serve oysters hot. The number of oyster recipes is legion, for almost every, famous chef has contributed some recipe for cook ing oysters. But here are 8 few tried and true oyster recipes. And any one of them will do you honor when you serve oysters for supper on chilly fall night:
 Oysters on Toast
 One pint of oysters, chop fine and season with salt, cayenne and nutmeg. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and stir in the minced oysters. In 8 separate dish, beat up the yolks of two eggs with one gill of cream and stir in with the oysters. As soon as the eggs set, serve on slices of but tered toast garnished with parsley.
 Deviled Oysters
 Take 1 pint of oysters and chop fine. Put into a saucepan with 1 teaspoon of melted butter and a gill of cream. Season with cay- enne and salt and add cup of rolled cracker crumbs. Put on the stove and allow to simmer min- utes, stirring gently. Then put in a baking dish, sprinkle bread crumbs and bits of butter over the top and bake until the top Is 8 rich golden brown.
 Old Style ROast
 Put 1 pint of oysters in deep tin. Season with salt, cayenne and teaspoon of finely chopped onion. Place thin slice of bacon on each oyster, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and bake. Gar nish with parsley and serve with slices of lemon.
 Oyster Chowder
 Chop 50 good sized oysters. Pre- pare 1 cup of finely chopped cel- cry and 2 cups of cold boiled rice. Put a lay of the celery in the bot tom of a saucepan, then a layer of rice and layer of oysters. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat these layers until all the materials are used. Pour over 1 cup of boiling water. Cook slowly for 25 min utes. Beat up the yolks of eggs, with 1 cup of milk; add this to the chowder; stir carefully for few minutes and serve hot.

 A slightly different recipe Is this one in which the chops are grilled and dressed in a circle with center garnished with julienne or sauted mushrooms and tongue mixed with a cream sauce.
 Veal outlets are very nice when cooked simply in butter and served with 8 thickened gravy made witn the butter and juices of meat left in the pan to which add a measure of white wine, few fine herbs, minced and the necessary amount of roux (butter and flour hlended) for thickening.
 Escallops of veal are often serv- ed instead of outlets, dipped in egg and crumbs and cooked in hot butter, then arrange on dish with Zingara sauce around and any ap- propirate garnish. The sauce is one that is familiar to all chefs. but It is 8 tomatoed meat sauce gar nished with julienne of mushrooms ham and tongue and favored with a little Madeira and cayenne; or it may be a broken stock sauce sea- soned with chopped shallots cook ed in butter and reduced with a little vinegar, cooked 5 minutes more and finished with chopped parsley and lemon juice.

we have no such facilities. Which is one reason why we put up fruits and vegetables and meats in small. CT quantities than ever. A reason, too, why we should be doubly care- ful about how and where we store them. The entire profit on a sup ply of preserves may be lost if one or two jars spoil before we've chance to use them.
 These few general rules, if ob- served, will help to avoid spoilage:
 The packing of jars should be done as quickly as possible, so that the material as well as the jars are kept piping hot
 As a rule, contents should be packed as closely as is possible without crushing the vegetable or fruit, for during sterilization the food shrinks. The exceptions are vegetables such as peas, corn and greens which do not shrink at all but swell, and must therefore be packed loosely.
 Before storing preserves, wipe the jars carefully and be sure there. are no leaks. Then label them and they are ready to be put on the shelf, in as cool and dry a place as you can find for them.
 The test of successful preserv- ing comes after the jars have stood for some time. You'll know your work has been well done if the products measure up to these points: The canned food should appear sound and the liquid clear. There should be no signs of leak age, bubbling or moulding around the tops of the jars. When opened, there should be no rushing of air or squirting of liquid, and the odor should be characteristic of the product. Anything less indi- cates spoilage in some degree.
 You will find these recipes both economical and easy:
 DWEET PICKLED PEACHES
 f peck peaches
 1 pint vinegar
 1 ounce stick cinnamon
 cloves
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-07
2 pounds brown sugar


 Boil sugar, vinegar and cinna- mon together for 20 minutes. Peel the peaches by scalding them first, then stripping off the skins. It is best to scald but a few at a time, to prevent softening. Stick 4 cloves in each peach; put fruit into the syrup and cook until they can be easily pierced with fork. Re- move to jars and fill jars with the syrup.
 TOMATO PRESERVES
 5 pounds ripe tomatoes
 4 pounds sugar
 2 lemons
 salt
 Scald the tomatoes and slip off the skins. Place tomatoes in kct- tie and add the sugar. Let stand over night. Drain off juice and boil it rapidly until it threads. Add the tomatoes and lemons, sliced thin: cook until preserves are thick and clear. They should be a rich red color. Seal in hot jars.
