CANNING CORN
Dear Almanack:

Dear Almanack:
Lately / have noticed several
methods Of canning corn in your
column but I think mine still
beats them all After husking
and brushing the ears. cut the
corn off the cob and fill the
sterilized jars within an inch
from the top. j then add one
teaspoon Of salt per pint. Next
I pour boiling water over the
cobs and let them set on the
stove for few minutes. then I
pour this juice into the cans, fill
ing them 10 the top and seal
them tight. They are now ready
to be processed for three hours.
There is really lots more flavor
than when plain water is used
I hope that you will use this
recipe yourself.

Two Ohtre Hobbies

Aside from his home and his
grandchildren, Bowman has two
hobbies golf and steam engines.
Those long 2-10-2,S.- having a
traction effort of $500 pounds,
are his special pride.
And car ferries, too, for the
PM hauls 1000 loaded freight cars
daily across the Detroit River on
two boats, and 500 a day across
Lake Michigan on six huge ferries.
After what Bowman calls the
break in 1916, he worked for
Bernet in Cleveland until 1920.
Bernet went that year to the Erie
Railroad. Bowman arrived in New
York with him and a few years
later was a vice president.
In 1929 the two Of them went
back 10 the Nickel Plate, which
was part of the system that
included the Pere Marquette and
the Chesapeake and Ohio.

tolerant and accepts the incon-
venience caused by lack of
equipment. Every one realizes
that the war must be won as
quickly as pOssible-and the
railroads have a huge job in
that effort.

What They Say

They say that Bowman would
have become a president Of a road
somewhere. sometime, even though
he had never met Bernet.
They tell you that few men in
the nation know as much about
the business. or work as hard. or
enjoy their work as much. They
say that Bowman is president
today because since the day he
left high school TO follow his
father in the employ Of the Nickel
Plate he has worked with un-
bounded energy and that ne
earned his high post by that one
method,
At 81, Bowman has hardly a
gray hair and he weighs the same
as when he entered high school

cier, as some railroad presidents
have been. he does not spend his
time entertaining IN a private

Sub warfare at its best is a
tough business, Saporito says, and
TO prove il tells of going 30 days
at a time without seeing the sun
or daylight because the craft
could not surface during the day

The Christmas dinner episode
occurred last Christmas when the
JapS peppered Manila and its bay
for hours at a time.

coming back and we had to dive

not much.
