The result, surprising it may seem from both and ingredients, deliciousy refreshing but as potent a witch's brew.

effective land attack.
 England has the best aircraft de- fense in the world. Her defenses against landings on the east coast are so potentially formidable that the Germans simply do not consider such landings England could be in- vaded, but the landing of troops even at widely scattered points would be extremely hazardous. SUB IS WEAPON
 OF STARVATION
 England's real weakness is her absolute dependence on imported and neutral shipping to Englist, food. Complete stoppage of English ports for two to three months would starve out the country.
 The only German weapon with any chance of stopping shipping is the submarine.
 Unrestricted submarine warfare nearly starved out England 9 years ago. Again it may play vital part in shaping the destiny of Europe.

BALLET DANCERS
 WITH WPA GROUP
Bridgeport Symphony Or- chestra to Feature Un-
 usual Program

A special musical event, which is expected to draw thousands of music lovers and those particularly inter- ested in the dance as an art form. is announced for Thursday evening, August 8, in Bridgeport, by the Con- necticut Music Project. In response to hundreds of requests, the Bridge port ballet group, under the direction of Irene Conner, will appear with the Bridgeport WAP Symphony or chestra, in 8 symphonic program of unusual interest. William PilliSh, who has had enthusiastic recogni- tion at his appearances in New York, will be guest artist.
 When the ballet group performed last year with the Bridgeport WPA Symphony orchestra the hall was packed to capacity. The audience came from Bridgeport and many other cities and towns in the state, as well as from New York city.
 The dancers will give two pallets with the orchestra, Frank FOti con. ducting: "Springtime in Vienna" Q charming interpretation of several of the most popular Strauss waltze:s and polkas, and '"The Sorcerer's Ap- prentice" adapted from the chore- ography of the world-renowned ballet master, Michael Kogine.
 Turning from the ballet to song and musical comedy dancing, the group will give favorite numbers from "The Student Prince" by Romberg, when Alice Nastahoski will take the role of the prince and Virginia Conner, the role of Katfie. Colorful costuming of students and waitresses will lend effectiveness to this presentation.

 Germany's main weapon against the British Isles may turn out to be nothing more than 8 bunch of small submarines.
 Dive bonfbers, parachtlte troops and flying tanks are terrifying enough, but there are many signs that Hitler will call upon his sar- dine subs of 250 tons to do the job of starving England and ending the war.
 The Germans proud boast that they are turning out a submarine 8 day can't be laughed of. A care ful analysis in the journal British Motor Ship" indicates the 250--ton subs are being built as fast as 20 or more a month.
 By standards of other navies, these boats are small, but they are ideal for patrol-blockade work around the British Isles, particular ly since the Germans gained so

 One of our more conservative neighbOrs claims that cherry cider can be digested if the taste is modified by the addition of pure grain alcohol to the mix.

Washington's oyster canning in
dustry produced 150,822 standard
cases in 1889, exceeding the previous
years pack by 1854 cases. Spec
tacular growth in oyster production
in the state began ten years ago af-
ter successful importation of jap
anes oyster seed and planting of
large beds, principally in the Will
apa Harbor District. Tenderness of
Pacific canned oysters, their fine
size and ready adaptability to prep
aration for the table in any style
has led to constant increased de-
mand for them. Canning of smoked
oysters also is a growing industry.
Olympia is the home of the tiny
native Olympia oysters, which can
not be grown anywhere else than in
the southermost reaches of Puget
Sound. It is famous among world
epicures for its delicate and dis
tincitive flavor. The annual supply
is strictly limited by the small area
available for propagation and the
four or five years required for ma
turity. The yearly production US
ually has value of approximately
$25O,0OO.

Home Frozen Foods Must Have
Careful Preparation, Says Agent
PREPARATION of foods for tho 4

The preparation of foods for tho
freezing locker has much to dc
with the quality of the food after il
is cooked. No food is improved
above its original qualities by freez-
ing. Food which is good before
freezing may still be good food aft
er freezing if packed by the most
desirable method. For instance
some fruits, if sealed, may be pack
ed without syrup or in water. How
ever, the most palatable products
are usually those packed in syrup
and either sealed or tightly covered
The tighter the seal and better, a
complete seal, has the most aSsur-
ance Of a product without an "off'
flavor.
Containers may vary in size from
one pint to three OR four quarts. It
is suggested that storage be made
in containers of a size that will meet
the needs of the family. The
smaller containers freeze faster and
a better product results. To pre-
vent "off" flavor, either tin, glass
or fibre board is recommended
(Fiber board should not be confused
with ordinary ice cream cartons.)
When the pack is completed there
should be at least one inch head
space to allow for expansion in
freezing.
1t is vita: that packaged products
be stored and frozen Immediately.
They should be spaced to permit
good circulation. Until there is
complete freezing the product is
changing and losing it's good quail
tiles. Close stacking is all right
after the products are down to the
temperature of the freezing unit.
Varieties of fruits and vegetables
which are most desirable before
freezing. However, unless these foods
are handled rapidly after being
gathered from the garden, the re-
sulting product is not as good. The
scalding of vegetables should be
done Immediately and be sufficient |
to stop engine action which if al
lowed to continue may spoil the |
food, give "off" flavors, or affect |
texture. Rapid thorough cooling is
followed Immediately |
with freezing.

vice in Kennewick for further in
