White corn syrup is another ac-
ceptable substitute, but since it is
less sweet than sugar, substitute liz
cups of corn syrup for cup OF
sugar.
Syrups to Use.
Thin syrups mo. y are used for
small, soft fruits such as cherries
and berries. Make the syrup by US
ing three parts of water to one part
of sugar.
Medium syrup (No. y does best
by sour berries, acid fruits as cher
ries and rhubarb, and peaches. Boil
two parts of water with one part OF
sugar.
Heavy syrup mo. 81 is prescribed
for the large, sour fruits in which
you desire extra sweetness. Measure
one part water to one part sugar
and bring to boil.
Apples or Pears.

full planning than ever before, for
waste in the fruit itself, canning
Jars, rubbers or sugar is highly TN
desirable.
Chart your plans before embark
ing on the canning program. Con-
slider first how much sugar you will
have available, with the five pounds
per person allotment for people who
are canning. Plan this amount so
it will do for the jams, jellies, pre-
serves, and sugar syrups for fruit
canning.
If possible, can in the early morn
ing hours when you are rested and
your mind free from too many 9th
er thoughts. You will then be able
to follow recipes more carefully, to
work with more energy and spirit.
The day before you will, if you are
the bright and alert homemaker,
have gathered together your jars,
washed them, bought necessary sup
plies of rubbers and covers and 9TH
er equipment.
Bring out the preserving kettles
and pressure cookers, too. See that
they are well secured, that you have
the racks, petcocks, pressure gauge.
and steam-tight cover on the pres
sure cooker well in order.
A hot water bath is best for pro-
cessing fruits because they are acid.

To keep fish from breaking when
cooking, put the pieces in hot fat
with skin side uppermost and al
low them to brown before turnings
When stewing dried fruits, the
addition of a small amount Of
lemon rind will give a better
flavor.
Ravel the thread from an old
silk stocking and use it for catch
ing and mending runners in other
hose. It is stronger and less
noticeable than darning thread.
To keep coat buttons from tear
ing out, sew a smaller button on
the under side, running the thread
through both.
II you cannot get cand1eholders
for the birthday cake, decorate top
with marshmallows and stick o
candle into each one.
Put your kitchen table on cast
ers. You then can roll it where
you want it and save yourself
many steps. s
Shake your turkish towels Wig

The request by the War Pro-

Christmas decorations be dis

tended primarily to save man
hours and, also, critical mater

filaments," said M. E, Beck,
vice-president and general sup

Power company.
Because of the many inquiries
that have flooded the offices of
city officials, chambers of COM

company since the WPB request

Mr.. Buck, sis in line with its

heartily in favor of this request
as it will undoubtedly conserve
vital materials, for there is al

steam is used to generate cleo

serve, also, a certain amount OF

to normal industrial and resi-

ASKS SUPPORT
FOR SEAL SALE
Mayor Stresses
importance OF
M. T. A. Work

Mayor Carl Rankin recently
endorsed the 1912 Christmas
seal campaign of the Montana
tuberculosis association through
which money is being raised to
fight tuberculosis in this state
during the coming year.
Il wish to take advantage OF
this opportunity to tell you all
how necessary the work of the
Montana tuberculosis associa-
ton is in our community" Mr..
Rankin said. Such good work
cannot be carried on without
the fullest cooperation of all OF
us. That's not exactly news.
But it's just as important. Let's
all buy Christmas seals to make
this work possible.
Every penny, every dime,
every dollar sent in to this or
ganization for the Christmas
seals this year is going to help
them in their fight against this
dread disease. Every man, Wom-
an and child in the county
should be glad of the privilege
OF buying Christmas seals and
thereby contributing to the
fund that will help conquer
tuberculosis in Hardin"
An out-of-doors scene is fea-
tured on the 1912 seal, accord
ing to the description recently
released by C. R. Stobaugh, local
seal sale chairman.
The picture suggests a winding
road, clear skies and bright
sunshine. 1t was designed by
Dale Nichols, one of Americas
outstanding artists. In the back
ground is a red barn, typical OIL

FEDERAL PERMISSION GIVEN
TO FINISH BIG HORN BRIDGE
Expect Work To
Begin At Once.
Governor Sdys

According to a letter received
this week by State Senator Dan
w. Maddox from Governor Sam
C. Ford, the state highway COM
mission has at last obtained
permission from the federal
authorities to proceed with the
E'lnpletion of the Big Horn
river bridge.
Work will begin at once, and
it is hoped the bridge will be
finished without further delay.
Bids for the construction of
the new bridge were opened by
the state highway department
on May 16, 1941, and work on it
began early that summer. The
old bridge had been damaged
the previous fall, when struck
by the trailer of a heavy truck.
1t also had the disadvantage of
being very narrow, and though
two passenger cars could pass
on it, it allowed only one-way
traffic for large trucks.
The old bridge was moved on
to temporary pilings on Aug. IS,
1941. Traffic was suspended for
only a relatively short time while
this was being done. The old
pilings were blasted and new
ones constructed, and it was
then found that the contractors
could not obtain necessary mat
erials to complete building the
bridge. The old span has been
resting on the temporary pilings
ever since.

MAY APPLY NOW
FOR EXTRA GAS
Supplemental and Non
HighwuY Gus Rutions
Now Avuiluble

Passenger cars having basic
ration books are now eligible for
an extra supply of gas, where
need is shown, according to the
loacl rationing board.
Now that registration for
basic rations is completed, the
board calls attention of passen-
ger car and motor cycle owners
to the fact that it is not in
tended under the mileage RAJ
tioning regulations, to require
vehicles to be put out of COM
mission. It is important that
car owners have sufficient gaso-
line available to permit such
driving as may be necessary for
essential household purposes,
and also for a certain amount
of occupational driving.
To this end, supplemental gas
rations may be allowed if mil
cage permitted by a basic ra-
ton is not adequate to meet a
persons needs for occupational
driving.
Blank application forms for
supplemental gas rations may
now be obtained at the office of
the rationing board in the court
house in Hardin.
Attention is also called to the
fact that these applications may
not be signed by any agent; the
owner or person entitled to the
use of the vehicle must sign
the application himself, and
may mail it or present it in per-
son to the board.
The completed application
must supply all the information
needed by the board to review
the case. Statements of re-
qulrements should be based on
figures taken from records, or
when records are not available,
on figures compiled after care
full consideration of needs.
Applications for non-highway
gas rations may now be made
also. Non-highway uses include
tractors and other farm mach
inery, stationary gasoline eng
ines, cleaning and dyeing cstab-
lishments, etc.
Application forms must be
prepared in duplicate by all
non-hlghWay users who pur-
chase gasoline tax-free or who
apply to the state tax author
tiles for refund on taxes paid
on non-highWay gasoline.
On the non-highway gas ap-
plication, the applicant is re-
quired to specify each of the
engines or other uses for which
he requires gasoline, stating
specifically his requirements of
gas for each of the uses spec
flied in the application for the
three-months period from the
date on which the ration is re-
quired by him.
Gas requirements, it was
pointed out, should be carefully
reviewed with these two items
in mind: The amount of gas
per hour the equipment uses
and the number of hours per
month the equipment will act
ually be used.

BOMBERS ARRIVE
AT GREAT FALLS

The first heavy bombers to
go into combat training in Mon
tana have arrived at the Great
Fails Army Air base it was
learned today. Under command
of Col. Ford J. Lauer, they will
commence practice flights and
bombing workouts with the
least possible delay.
Arrival of the huge ships and
their crews marks the climax OF
months of careful planning and
~ceaSeleSS effort. The Army Air
base has grown miraculously
where nothing but rolling plains
could be seer last spring. Now
it goes into active operation,
turning out the highly trained
crews that will soon afterWard
be cruising the air over enemy
strongholds.
The filters, bombardiers, gun
ners, navigators and other crew
members are already skilled in
their duties. Here in Montana
they will work on perfect CO.
ordination among themselves,
with the aid of bombing ranges
situated near Big Sandy and
elsewhere. They will use the sat
elite airdromes at Cut Bank,
Glasgow and Lewistown as part
of their training facilities. The
main base at Great Falls to-
gether with the three satellite
fields, all under the command
of Major John L. Eaton, will af-
ford opportunities for exactly
the type of training needed to
make the crews ready for COM
bat.
Major Eaton has recently div
ulged the selection of one bomb
ing range to be used by the
bombers now at their station.
Others are being arranged, and
as soon as targets are prepared,
the crews will be able to train
not only in high altitude bomb
ing, but in aerial gunnery and
in ground S trafing. A heavy
concentration of aerial traffic is
indicated for a good part Of
Montana as the heavy bombers
enter upon their training duties
here.

make extensive activity difficult
in the Aleutians, American fliers
are doing everything possible to
harass the enemy.
Navy Secretary Knox said it
Is unlikely the Japanese can get
reinforcements into Guadal-
canal. Australian troops, ad-
vancing on Buna, have smashed
Japanese counterattacks, while
Allied bombers blasted enemy
gun nests and mortar emplace-
ments, Gen. MacArthur'S New

November %. Japanese naval
forces, however, despite heavy
losses, have landed strong,

Buna- Coma beachhead. Earlier
Allied airmen sank two and
probably three ~troop-laden des-
troyers and definitely sank one
other destroyer and two smaller
vessels.
Communiques during the week
reported Allied forces in North
Africa destroyed 100 Axis planes
and 81 medium tanks at the
cost of nine Allied planes des-
