Field Marshal Rommel must

Montgomery talked at the front

10. Leave ample head space and
plenty of room for liquid to circulate
between pieces of food when filling
jars for processing.
IL. Tighten metal bands on two
piece metal vacuum seal caps be-
fore processing. Do not tighten
again.
IL. Partly seal for processing, all
jars on which jar rubber is used.
13. Place jars in the Gamer imme-
diately after packing and process
the time called for in the recipe.
Remember, time guessing has no
place in canning.
IA. Take jars out of Gamer as
promptly as possible after the proc
essing time is up and complete the
seal on all that are partly sealed
for processing (see Rule l2).
. Is. Set hot jars as far apart. as
possible so they will cool quickly,
but do not place in draft.
is. Be sure every jar of canned
food is sealed before it is put away.
a. Take the bands off glass top
seals after the jars have stood over
night and test the seal by pulling
gently on lid with finger tips. Don't
put the bands back on the jars. /,
b. Remove bands from vacuum
seals IL or Is hours after canning
and test the seal by pressing on the
lid with the finger. If tightly sealed,
there will be no "give" to the lid.
Don't put the bands back on the
jars.
c. One-piece zinc caps are drawn
down flat when sealed. Do not turn
Mason jars upside down-this rule
applies when using glass top seals,
vacuum seals, and zinc caps.
d. Test lightning jars after they
are cold by holding them upside
down and examining for leaks.
H. Be finicky when it comes to
cleanliness. Get rid of house flies.
Remember, they prefer food to foot
tub for foot washing.
IS. Don't ask your neighbor how
to can. She may not be as up-to-
date as she thinks she is. II is far
better to get a good recipe book
and follow directions to the letter.
As good a one as can be bought
costs only q dime.

gives the following sure-fre rule for
successful homecoming:
|. Use jars intended for home
canning. Every one of them has a
name lettered on the side.
2. Examine every jar to make
sure that it is in good condition.
Give special attention to the top
edges Of Mason jars. Most of them
must be sealed with glass top seal
closures or two-piece metal vacuum
seals, because the zinc that used to
60 into the one-piece Mason caps
has gone to the battle front. The
glass top and vacuum seals can take
the zinc caps place on the home
front only when used on jars with
perfect top edges.
3. Do not stretch rubbers to test.
4. Wash and rinse jars, lids and
rubbers. Then cover jars, zinc caps,
and glass lids with lukewarm water,
heat to boiling, and keep hot. sJars
and lids to be used for old-fashioned
open-kettle canning must be boiled
20 to 80 minutes. Wash rubbers
and vacuum-seal lids, drop into boil
ing water, and keep hot until needed
if to be used for processing Cooking
food in jars). They must be boiled to
sterilize for open-kettle canning.
S. Get Gamers and jars ready be-
fore starting to prepare vegetables.
8. Use vegetables that are fresh
from the garden. The alien enemies,
mould, yeast and bacteria, stand
ready to sabotage any and all vege-
tables left standing over night or
all through Q long, hot morning.
Z. Be sure that everything to be
canned IL at the right stage for
Gaming. Shelled beans and peas
should be young and tender-a few
oversize or over-mature ones can
cause the loss of the whole batch.
Tee pods of string beans should be
crap and rneaty-corn IN full milk
stage-and tomatoes red-ripe, firm,
ass.5 sound. Wash all fruits and vege-
tables before breaking the skins.
0. Hot pack all vegetables except
tomatoes. Hot pack means to cook
the food q few minutes, then pour 1t
ihta hot jars for processing. This is
era &he best way to can most fruits.
D.-F9lI no more jars at time than
Yo:if canner win hold.

RADAR Is ENEMY NO. l.
TO OUR AXIS ENEMIES

The scientists Of the United States
must keep one jump ahead Of those Of
the enemy in the invention and de-
velopment of new military instru-
ments. Most of the work they do
must be kept secret, but recently some
information has been released on one
Of the products Of their scientific re-
search--a new tool Of war which has
brought much disaster to our enemies.
This new tool is radar-a device for
detecting and locating enemy ships
and airplanes. Radar works by send
ing out beam Of radio waves which,
when it hits an object, is reflected and
caught on the rebound. Thus, the re-
Elected radio wave gives warning Of
the enemy's approach. But it does
more-it tells his exact distance and
direction. The direction is that of
the incoming reflected wave, and the
distance is determined from the time
it takes for the radio wave to make
the round trip out to the enemy OBJ
ject and back. Knowing both direc-
ton and distance, guns can be trained
on an enemy ship or airplane, even
though hidden from sight by darkness
or fog.
Radar takes many forms and sizes
for different conditions Of use, but all
work on the same fundamental prin-
ciple. Like all complicated devices,
it is not single invention, but the
product of many inventors and de-
signers.
Three years before Pearl Harbor,
the Bell Telephone Laboratories, re-
search organization Of the Bell Sys-
tenn, was already working with the
Army and Navy in the development
of military. radar. Other Industrial
laboratories joined in this effort.
Through the National Defense Re-
search Committee, an organized at
tack on radar problems was made by
a group of leading scientists recruited
from universities. All told, some two
thousand scientists and engineers in
Army, Navy, university, and indus
trial laboratories Joined hands in the
development Of radar.
All the Bell Laboratories had Of
technical knowledge and skill was
thrown into the common pool. Whole
heartedly they Joined their efforts
with those Of other scientific groups
in this country and England. The
radars which our forces are using to-
day are the result Of this joint effort,
coupled with the skill and workman
ship Of the several manufacturers
who are enlisted in production. Prom
inent among the makers Of radar is the
Western Electric Company, manufac-
turing unit of the Bell System.

Al reserve stock of 100000
hunger bombs" are now
being produced by All girls through
out the U. s. in mighty war effort.
The bombs" are canned fruits, vege-
tables, meats and soups, which are
being lined up on pantry shelves of
rural homes for future use. They
will release not only tons of COM
mercially canned products for our
armed forces, but also legions of
men, for the vitality important job
of getting foodstuffs and weapons to
the battle fronts.
To obtain proper training In pre-
pairing these "bombs" the Cub girls
are participating in the National A.
H Canning Achievement activity,
whose chief detectives are to con-
tribute to the nations 1943 wartime
program of conserving vital foods,
utilizing farm products, promoting
varied, balanced diets, and reducing
expenditures by the use of the fam
lily food preservation plan.
Participants with outstanding rec
ords of achievement in this activity
will receive awards provided by Mrs.
Ruth Kerr, head of glass jar con-
Germ, which are being based on coun-
ty, state, and national levels. The
activity is being conducted, along
with other All wartime projects Of
production and conservation, under
the direction of the U. s. Department
of Agriculture, State Agricultural
Colleges. and County Exen n
Agents.
