Home Gamers Urged
To Exercise Caution
National Board of Fire Underwriters Warns of Dam
gers of Oven=PaCked Method of Home Preserving

New York, Aug. 24-Because OF
the fire and explosion hazards in
volved, home Gamers should be ex-
tremely careful when using the
oven pack method Of preserving
fruits and vegetables, the National
Board of Fire Underwriters warned
| in a special bulletin issued today.
It also suggested precautions to be
taken in connection with the use Of
pressure cookers. The bulletin
classed the cold pack or water bath
method as being the least hazard
GUS means of preserving victory gar
den produce.
The oven pack method Is the
most dangerous means Of preserving
because it is not possible to regulate
ooven heat so that it does not in
troduce a hazard from a pressure
explosion in the jar or can If the
tops have been tightly closed, the
National Boards bulletin said. Re-
ports have been received from fire
insurance companies of number of
cases where explosions occurred,
causing injury to people and dam
age to property, according to the
bulletin.
In one recent case in Pennsylva-
mia woman placed nine pint jars
of snap beans in the gas range oven
and set the heat regulator at 275
degrees. A short time later vio-
lent explosion blew the range apart,
broke the gas pipe connection, and
seriously scalded and cut the wo-
mans son who was sitting in the
kitchen.
ut is very evident that the tops
had been frightened and when this
Is done temperature of 275 degrees
will produce a steam pressure of 20
pounds, which is far in excess of
the safe limits of sealed glass Jar
or even a tin can," the bulletin
says.
Oven regulators are seldom kept
in such condition as to assure their
accuracy within 10 to 20 degrees, the
bulletin stated, and offered the fol-
lowing suggestion:
IF you must use the oven pack
method, check the oven control by
placing a thermometer in the oven
for an hour, and If 1t goes above
240 degrees, which corresponds to
pressure of 10 pounds, change the
oven control so it will remain at
that temperature. Remember also
that with oven controls set low all
of the burners may not stay lighted
and unburned gas may collect in
the oven"
Several precautions were offered
to those who use pressure cookers
for their home canning. 1t Is nee
essary to be sure that the safety
valve operates at a low pressure and
that the steam pressure gauge reads
accurately. A recent check-up of
IS cookers showed one safety valve
needed cleaning, and another had
gauge that was six pounds off
true readings. The local gas COM
pany often will check both safety
valves and gauges. The Tugs hold
ing the cover in place must be in
good condition and properly tight
ened before applying heat and it is
of even greater importance to re-,
lease the steam before loosening
any of the cover Tugs. The Board

Army and Navy bombers are pounding a prelude
to attack on Wake Island as America, with the fall
of Kiska to avenge the seizure Of that Pacific
ato by Japs in the dark December of 1941. Seven
raids have been made on the enemy positions here
and the increased regularity of Army bomber visits
indicates invasion may not be far off.
Pre-war Wake was inhabited only by gooney birds

only 375 Marines and dozen planes to meet the

Pearl Harbor. Our striking power had been SO Grip

Commissioner Hickey, vice-chair-
man of the Community wide Can
vass Group in the Third War Loan
drive, said he is counting on the
protective forces in each commun-
ity, the police, firemen and civilian
defense workers, to form the back
bone of the canvassing organization.
"They have the manpower," Com
missioner Hickey said. They know
their neighborhoods. They can do
the job"
War Administrator Woodcock,
who had previously asked each To-
cal War Council to consider how 1t
can best aid the War Bond cam
paign, assured Commissioner Hickey
that he could depend on the assist
ance of civilian defense workers, in
whatever way the local War Coun-
ellis may decide they can best CO.
operate. Decision as to methods has
been left entirely with the local
Councils.
Commissioner Hickey, speaking of
the air raid wardens and other
members of the civilian defense Or
ganization, declared there is mo
civilian group in the state so well
qualified for this person-to-person

'They have done a magnificent
job of preparing for defense" he
said. Nov here Is a chance for
them to attack. In my opinion. the
most important duty any air raid
warden or other member Of the War
Council organization can perform,
outside of his protective duties in
the event of an enemy air raid, is
to promote the sale Of war bonds"
The United Nations attack on
Germany and Japan has started,
Commissioner Hickey said. These
bonds are absolutely necessary to
back up that attack. To take a real
crack at the enemy. now, right here,
we should sell at 500 bond to every

warned never to try to improvise a
pressure cooker.
The cold pack or water bath
method is the least hazardous meth
cd of home canning, according to
the Board. The principal danger Is
from scalds when removing the
jars. Be sure to place the jars on
a grill or rack that keeps them off
the bottom of the vessel; this pre-
vents the accumulation of steam
under the jar and lessons the like
lihood of boiling over. If the wa
ter should boil over and put out
the gas flame be sure the room has
been we'll aired before relighting the
gas. Boiling over can be avoided by
setting the flame so that the boil
ing point is just maintained; rapid
ly boiling water is no hotter than
slowly boiling water, and the low
flame saves gas.

And this summer the hot sun Is enduring,
Planting, moving and loading the hay
Which is considerable work and not much play
This summer he's vegetable picker,
Is snappy Jay, typical city sicker
The farm needs me-so he said,
And he closed for the summer his Murphy bed
Hearing about all the food that Is needed
The call to the farm he fortnight Needed
Gave up his position among screws and bolts
To busy himself among the calves and the coits
Dan Wheatfield's slipped from his country lie.
This summer he's mixed up with the city strife
He's not much concerned with the bee and the ant
Since he signed up with an industrial plant
The factory needs me-said Dan sort OF fororn
So he left the cows and chickens and waving corn.
And all those insect noises night and day
For factory whistles and good weeks pay.
