 Prom the Connecticut Consumers Calendar and the Market Bulletin issued by the Department of Agri- culture, and from Nan Clarke $ daily broadcast at 8:30 a. m. on WTIC, housewives can find out what produce is abundant on the market and economical to can. There is no shortage of glass jars. A canning bulletin with full irl- structions may be obtained from the Extension Service at the Uni- versity of Connecticut, or the County Home Demonstration Agent.
 County Farm Bureau Agents ad- wise strongly the planting now of crops for fall use. In many gardens the gathering of early crops such as spinach and peas leaves space that can be utilized for late planting of carrots, turnips, onion sets, lettuce and kale. Such gardens as this will encourage the use of the protective green vegetables over a long span of months.
 Tt is impossible to overemphasize at this critical time the importance of national health and sane econ- omical living. Every housewife while working toward these ends in her vegetable garden or her kitchen is making a vitally important contri- button to national defense"
 Mrs. Bowles said that she will be pleased to answer any questions relative to this matter at the off1ct of the State Defense Council, Statt Armory in Hartford.

COLONY OF BEES
 CAPTURED HERE
Lone Woman Completes Successful Roundup;
 Queen Bee Captured

The city of Waterbury was bee seiged yesterday, and only through the intervention of Mrs. Theodore Barrieault, 60 Scovill street, were the residents of this community spared the anguish of nips, bumps and soothing applications.
 A mass migration of bees, prob- ably flying here to participate in the Legion parade, swooped down on the city yesterday, and amiaoly settled on pole behind the Eagle parking lot on Spring street. In a short time a crowd had gathered at a circumspect distance.
 One of the islanders, Walter Jolly, SO Scovill street, perceiving the dangers inherent in bee-havior, summoned Mrs. Barrieault to the scene. Mrs. Barrieault, disciple of Maeterlinck from way back, att tired herself in mems trousers, rubber gloves, and fastened a sec ton of curtain about her head. Then, armed with bedsheet, dust pan and whisk- broom, she swept the bees into the sheet, and finally encased them in a bee-box which Jolly had secured from Clifford Clark, Prospect apiarist.
 Later in the afternoon Clark formerly keeper of the guber- material bees (not the ones ir bonnets) for ex-Gov. Charles A Templeton, and for Judge Fred. erick M. Peasley. Cheshire, arrived and took possession of the striped insects.
 He explained that the bees had probably migrated from a point west of the Naugatuck river, and had left their hive because of the presence of two queen-bees. Royal rivalry, he added. forblds the co. habitation of two colonies, anc when c queen departs, she is fol. lowed by her subjects.

"The housewife in Connecticut can assure a properly balanced diet for her family next winter by cari- ming protective foods now and taks ing advantage of current low prices" Mrs. Dorothy s. Bowles, member of the State Defense Coun- cil in charge of Women's Activities, said in a statement to the women of Connecticut today.
 Mrs. Bowles pointed out in her statement that the preservation of food surplus through canning and elimination of waste is an import ant factor in the defense program.
 Many women have asked me is it wise for us to can foods" Mrs. Bowles says in her statement. My answer to him is that they would indeed be wise to can fruits and vegetables when they can buy them at low prices, fresh from Connecti- cut farms. Those women lucky enough to have their own gardens should make a definite effort to can the surplus that might otherwise go to waste, or to dispose of their unneeded products to someone who will use them.
 Tn the interest of national and state defense, we should learn to conserve our surplus crops for fu- ture use and to eliminate waste. Of course, we are not facing food shortage in this land of abundance We are, however, faced with the necessity of keeping in vigorous health a nation of workers who have dedicated their strength tc producing the materials of wal necessary to keep our country free
 Millions of man days were lost to industry this year through sick ness with the cost of living going up, with hungry England need- ing all the food we can get to her, housewives can assure properly balanced diet for their families next winter by canning the pro- tective foods now and in the next two months when prices will be lower. As 8 nation we would be stronger if we ate more fruit and vegetables and less meat Tomatoes are one of the most important pro- tective foods which are being ship ped in quantities to Europe. Easy to

FILA Policies Hold
 Down Inflated Costs
Valuation, Inspection Keep Small Home Costs at l940
 LeveI-NO Inferior Quality Possible z

Washington, D. C., July 2l-The Federal Housing Administrations valuation and inspection policies are exerting an effective influence a. gainst inflated costs in the new F1dA-insured small homes which are supplying large part of the em- ergency housing needs in defense industry areas, Administrator Ab- ner H. Ferguson announced today.
 During the first six months of the year, when a pronounced upward trend was shown in many materials prices, valuations of new small homes financed by FHA-insured mortgages were generally held at approximately the same levels as in 1940, MT. Ferguson said. At the same time, the FHA's inspection services guarded against any deter ioration in construction standards.
 In that period, the Administrator pointed out, 100000 new small homes were started under FILA inspection. At least 85 per cent of them were located in areas where defense 1n- , dustry expanion has created an ur- gent need for added housing.
 Under the FHA's valuation pro- cedure, no recognition Is given to purely temporary or unjustifed price increases for materials. The valua- tion established for the dwelling in turn determines the amount of mortgage which the FILA will in- sure.
 The success of this policy in pre- venting a large rise in new home Costs is shown by the fact that the $4,494 average principal amount of new-home mortgages accepted for insurance under Section 203 of the National Housing Act during the first half of the year was only 1.9 per cent higher tha nthe average in the like period of 1940. This was 8 much smaller rise than occurred in many basic prices.
 The same valuation procedure is followed in the case of new home mortgages insured under Titles l and VI of the Act. In the case of Title VI mortgages, which are limit ed to properties located in designed defense areas, the maximum loan on single family home is $4,000 For nwe-home loans insured under Title I, the maximum is 5000.
 The FaA's procedure also affords protection against hidden" inflat- ion in the form of inferior quality in the new homes constructed under It's program. Plans and specifications must be submitted to the FILA be- fore construction to determine con- forrnity with the F5A's minimum standards mad requirements. There afeer, at least three inspections are made by the FILA during the course l of construction to make sure that

 "By these measures, the FLA peo- gram is extending important oup~ port to American families againge an undue rise in that large pars of their budget representer by housing costs" MT. Ferguson de- clared.
 "Our efforts to maintain . large supply of noderate-priced housing. at a time when such & supply ia of great value to the defense pro- duction program, have been aided by the cooperation of the building industry which during recent years has greatly expanded its production of sound small houses in the lower price ranges where the need is moss urgent.

suits; accurate measurements are
essential.
Spoons and spatulas - wooden
spoons are desirable for candy max
ing because they do not become un-
comfortably hot, nor does the wooden
spoon handle cut into ones hand
during beating. Use standard table
spoons and teaspoons for measuring.
A medium-sized spatula is a help in
scraping candy from kettles, and
lifting candy from the pan.
Baking sheets, platters and pans
ordinary cookie sheets provide a
good surface for pouring hard can
dies; large platters may be used for
taffy, which is to be taken out and
pulled, or for fondant which is to be
beaten. A marble slab from an old
fashioned handicapped table or bu-
reau makes an excellent smooth,
level surface for pouring candies.
Candy thermometer-at hermom-
eter is essential in order to obtain
uniform and good results in making
candy.
Candies are classified as Creamy
candies" such as fondant or fudge,
and as "taffies" and "hard" can
dies, like nut brittle and lollipops.
In making creamy candies two
rules must be observed: cook the
candy to definite temperature, and
cool to room temperature before you
begin to beat.
