Roundup of Japanese as
Enemy Aliens Believed
Routine Event

The FBI still refused comment
this morning on the roundup of 16
persons of Japanese ancestry here
yesterday. Is of the persons have
been released, while one, whose
name is not revealed, is being
held for further questioning. All
are employed b. the K & restau-
rant, SO East Main st.
Similar roundups of Japs nese and
other enemy allen groups are con-
Quoted Systematically to insure that
the aliens are properly registered
and have not become involved in
subversive activities between checks.
Of the Is ilen and one woman
rounded up yesterday, three had
been questioned in roundup on
Feb. %, 1912 of Is Japanese here.
OF the fifteen rounded up then,
twelve had left the city, while an
other twelve had entered. Two of
the Is questioned in the 1912 round
up were taken to Hartford, but the
disposition of their cases was never
revealed.
Ten of the Japanese rounded up
yesterday gave their birthplaces as
Japan, making them enemy aliens.
TIL other six gave their birthplace
as the West Coast, making them
American citizens.

and for Lend-Lease shipments.
Carrots and cabbage are among
the more troublesome vegetables.
They are not only very Microscopic
but oxidize asily. The Army is,
therefore, packaging them in tin
cans Immediately after dehydration.
During the packing, the air is re-
placed in the can by an inert gas,
nitrogen or carbon dioxide."
For the safe storing of most fruits
and vegetables dehydrated in the
home, container must be used
which has the greatest resistance to
passage of moisture vapor.
Protective
"Cellophane Of the moisture proof
type provides an excellent protective
package for dehydrated foods" Mr.
Wendler advises However it is not
always easy for the consumer to OBJ
tain this type of film at present due
to its great demond for war pack
aging. 1t is, therefore, important for
the housewife to know the differ
ence between moisture-proof cello
plane and the type known to the
trade as plain transparent which
is grease proof but not moisture
proof. The moisture-proof cello
plane used lor this purpose seals
to itself upon application of hot
iron, and this is simple test. This
variety may be purchased at some
Of the stores which sell ONE -freez-
ing supplies, as it is extensively used
in packaging frozen foods. The
plain--or non-moisture- proof film
should not he used.
where cellophane is used, 1t is
good idea to place in one bag the
amount of dehydrated food needed
for one family meal A number of
these bags may be placed in a
crock, jar or box with tight-fitting
lid. The food then can be used one
bag at time without exposing the
remainder to moisture absorption.
'Tn the event that the home de-
hydrator cannot obtain moisture
proof cellophane or other satisfac-
tory moisture resistant paper type
containers she may turn to the ira
ditional home-preserving receptacle,
the glass jar, one of the safest and
most available containers under
present conditions.
I'm all cases the packaging of de-
hydrated foods should be done
promptly, under sanitary conditions,
and out of contact with dust. Con-
tainers should be filled to the top
in order to displace as much air as
possible--to keep down oxidation.
Extreme cold will not injure deny
drafted foods, since they contain so
little water. But prolonged storage
in very warm place will adversely
affect them, and light affects some
products. Storage in a cool dark dry
place is best
Home Equipment
Home dehydrators should also
make sure that the interior of larg-
er pieces of fruit or vegetables is
thoroughly dried. Too often one as
sumes that because the small pieces
feel dry the whole batch is suffici-
emily dehydrated, whereas the larg-
er pieces may be still r-oist on tn
inside. Then when all are packaged
together the moisture in the larg
pieces may b given off and cause the
whole batch to become moldy.
1.-THE observance of these precau-
lions will help prevent spoilage Of
home dehydrated foods due to i'm
proper dehydration or packaging.
AS pointed cut previously the diff
ficulties confronting the commercial
dehydrator are magnified when the
housewife tackles the problems"
