Cantecns in Churches

DURING the past few weeks ]
- have been making a radio tour
of the Eastern Sea Board, talking
on Eating for Defense" and seeing
first hand how different commune
ties are meeting this all important
problem.
l was greatly impressed with the
work being done in Washington,
D. c., by the Air Raid Wardens
Emergency Feeding Units, in col
liberation with the Fire Depart
ment. An old fire house has been
converted into headquarters, and
there the Nutritionists are trained
in Emergency feeding. The entire
District of Columbia has been di-
vided into 1875 zones, in each one
of which an Emergency Feeding
Unit is ready to operate. The can
teens are located in Churches and
in each canteen is stored enough
food for five hundred people, to-
gether with the necessary equip
ment for preparing it, also paper
cups and spoons, dishes, etc. The
food is inspected frequently and
replaced before it becomes stale
Big cans of soup, boxes of crackers,
cases of evaporated milk, sugar and
quantities of coffee are cached in
the church canteens. In chatting
with Chief Murphy of the Fire De-
partment I learned how important
a part coffee plays in meeting pub
lie emergencies. Coffee is given at
once to help overcome shock and
served second time after food
has been provided, because of its
energizing lift.
Mary Mason, Deputy Air Warden
told me that coffee in case of an
Air Raid would not always be made
in the coffee urns of the churches,
because these urns might not have
been recently used and so would
not be clean, ready for coffee max
ing; the recommended m h o d
therefore is the "Steeped Method,
which is a modification of boiling
STEPPED or "BoiIed" Coffee
for Defense
Be sure that the kettle, or wash
boiler, if one is used, has been
thoroughly cleaned. Measure in the
right amount of freshly drawn cold
water and bring rapidly to a bub-
bling boil. In the meantime, put the
coffee into a cloth bag at least
twice as large as the amount OF
coffee, to allow room for the coffee
grounds to swell and for the water
to circulate through. Tie the neck
of the bag tightly with strong white
cord, leaving an 18-inch loop OF
string for convenience in handling
Use n pound of drip grind coffee
to each gallon of water.
Drop the bag of coffee into the
boiling water, leaving the loop OF
string hanging over the edge OF
the pot or kettle. Turn the heat
low, so the brew will simmer, but
will not boil. Cover closely. Occa'
sionally lift off the cover and swish
the coffee bag around, to extract the
full flavor and strength of the cof-
fee. Let the coffee brew for about
eight minutes. Then lift up the bag
by the loop of string, drain, and
remove from the pot or kettle.
