Fight the Forgery Racket!
BY FRANK ]. WILSON
Chief, United States Secret Service

HERE we have in brief form
: = the recommendations of the
United States Secret Service to aid
in fighting the forgery racket:
If you receive checks from the
government:
1. Put a good lock on your mail
box. Have your name printed
clearly on the box.
2. Be at home, or have some
member of the family at home,
when government checks are due
to be delivered.
3. Do not endorse your check
until you are in the presence of the
person you will ask to cash it.
If you cash government checks
for customers:
l. Before you accept any gov
eminent check, ask yourself this
question: eff this check is re-
turned because of a forged en-
dorsement, can ] locate the forger
and recover my loss?"
2. When strangers ask you to
cash government checks, insist
that they properly identify them
selves as rightful owners of the
checks.
8. Insist that all government
checks be endorsed in your pres
ence, even if they have already
been endorsed when presented.
4. Have checks initiated by the
person who pays out money for
them. Try to write on the check
a brief description of the person
presenting it.
5. Know your endorsers!

To make water bath, use large
wash boiler or deep vessel fitted
with a rack made Of laths, perforat-
ed material or galvanized wire.
Have tight fitting cover.
Place prepared jars on the rack
which must hold them at least "
inch above bottom Of the Gamer.
The water bath should be filed with
boiling water which comes at least
an inch or two above the tops Of
the jars. Jars on the rack should
not touch each other. Start counting
processing time as soon as water
around jars begins to bubble, and
keep it boiling during entire process
ing period. If necessary, add boil

water must always be boiling at
least an inch above the tops of the
jars.

vegetables, are available at the can
ming center. Then, if all produce
must be canned in a single day, it
will be necessary to recruit as much
help as possible from others in your
community and give them your time
when needed.
Canning day should be canning
day only, not laundry day, general
cleaning and baking day, too. It's
better, too, not to be overly ambi-
tious and try to do three bushels of
tomatoes, all in one sweep, for you
will do better with small quantity,
and feel less tired, even though it
may take several days in which to
finish.

Fruits and vegetables need proc

of heat to the product for a certain
definite period of time. You just
can't put fruit into jars, seal and

perfect condition.

Lynn Says

Successful Canning: It is easy
to do the right thing with foods to
be put up in cans if you know the
principles and follow directions.
Follow the slogan, "two hours
from garden to kettle" Use only
fresh, firm, ripe rather than over
ripe produce. Wash all foods
carefully before attempting any
preparation.
Check jars, rubbers if used, and
caps along with equipment be-
fore you start canning. Work at
the range as much as possible
to save time between steps. Have
sterile jars on one side of range,
fill them from kettle on stove Cor

Canning's simpler today and much
of the spoilage that occurred for

maker checks the causes of spoil
age. There's a reason for every
type of spoilage, and what's more
important, every one of them can be
prevented if she's careful.
First, it's not smart to use left
over produce that you wouldn't eat
at the table. Select only prime fruit
and vegetables in perfect condition.
Best quality goes into commercial
canning, and so it should for home

bles and fruits and can Immediately,
or if you market, tie a bandana on
your hair and 60 out early in the
morning to get your produce while
it's still fresh.
Cleanliness is another important
factor. Remember that food spoils
for other reasons than that the jar is
not alright. More spoilage than you
ever dreamed of can result from not
washing the food properly and dis
carding bruised or imperfect vegeta-
bles and fruits. Be sure to peel the
food, If it is to be peeled, SO that
no dirt and the bacteria that lurk in

Dairy Farmers OF Ashe
Urged To Grow More Feed

tein with non-legume roughage.
Adjust grain ration to produc-
tion-feed l pound for each 2 to 4
pounds of milk produced.
GU Feed to avoid summer
slump-Summer decline in milk
production is largely the result of
inadequate feed. Permanent pas
lures seldom furnish enough feed
more than a month. Cows on
dry, short, or tough pastures
must be given extra feed, such
as temporary pasture, hay, grain,
and silage.
(8) Raise calves with less milk
Send more milk to market. Use
home-mixed or approved calf
meals to shorten the Whole-milk
feeding period. Start calves on
grain and hay at 2 weeks of age.
Close adherence to this outline
will not only help Ashe County
produce her quota of Dairy Food
products in our about War eff
fort, but is also the basis of an
economical postwar program.

poor weather, plus floods in the
Middle West, emphasize the
chances of a poor year, but the
department of agriculture still
hopes for record production in

in some sections can be overcome.
The furry of strikes in war

Our government has the power
to control war workers, to enforce
rationing, and to issue whatever
orders are necessary to keep the
war program functioning. In
some cases it's hesitancy to take
action which the people consider
necessary may be due to politi-

of avoiding Hitleristic, dictatori-

Washington, D. C. The ru-
mor-factory here is working over
time these days to predict the
collapse of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, uncontrolled black
markets, the failure of rationing,
a drastic shortage of food next
winter, partial paralysis of war
production due to widespread
strikes, and breakdown of
transportation in the eastern
states.
Most any minor official you
talk to in this facsimile of mad
house is eager to warn anyone
who will listen of impending
tragedy of one kind or another on
our civilian front. The interest
ing thing about all of these ru-
mors is that they all contain in
gradients of truth-they are all
based on things which could hap
pen unless something was done
to prevent their happening.
There is no question that the
OPA is going through a crisis, but
there is every reason to think
that it will come out of it with
better system for controlling
prices and rationing.
There is no doubt that black
markets are flourishing today,
and it is probable that they will
grow bigger before they are
stamped out-but, even if it re-
quires punishment of the most
drastic sort, they will undoubted-
ly be curbed before they are able
to get enough control to cause
starvation.
Rationing will have its ups and
downs, but the people are, in
general, cooperating splendidly
with the rationing program and
there is no reason to suppose that
it will be allowed to get out of
hand.
The possibility of a major food
shortage will be evident for a
couple more months, until we can
get actual figures on farm pro-
duction probabilities. So far,
