By ADELAIDE KERR AP Features Writer

Dean Mildred Thompson of Vas ar, only woman delegate to the recent London conference of Allied Ministers of Education, has returned with a strong conviction of interest 10 every American. She believes that America has the opportunity and Litigation to assume cultural and aducational leadership in the post war world.
 Dean Thompson was the only lully accredited woman member of the conference which drafted the constitution for United Nations organization for the rehabilitation of educational and cultural re- sources. (New Zealand had woman alternate.1
 The organization unites us to meet the immediate needs of re- building of education and-I hope lor the long-run need of continuing understanding exchange of knowl- edge and ideas" Dean Thompson said after her return. Tt does not permit us to dictate the education of the now occupied countries after they are liberated. They would run 5heir education as before. But it would help those countries get their schools and universities going again Many of them will need books, paper, states, pencils and pens.
 ''In the second place, the organi- zation looks toward the training and interchange of teacher on a much larger scale. I look on this sa step toward Americas becoming cul- tural leader in the world.
 Tn the last century people felt hey had to go to Europe for spe- cialized study. We are now pre- pared to offer the kind of training Europe used to give us. We are especially equipped to give special ized training in medicine and in all the technical and engineering fields. It will be the obligation of America 10 assume its place of leadership and power in the cultural world.

that superstitions regarding foods and

that a person is overweight because he

specialists, to such preserving jobs as
making jams, pickles and other products
that nave enough sugar or vinegar to
help keep them from spelling. The small
quantity of surgar used in canning fruit
has practically no preservative effect.
On the positive side, the Department
recommends these methods for home
canning.
For fruits. tomatoes and picked vege-
tables a boiling water bath is advised.
The food is heated first, then packed
boiling hot into jars, and lids are ad-
justed as tight or as loose as the type
requires. Then the jars Of food are
processed-that is heated in the Gamer
by allowing boiling water to circulate
freely all around. under, and over the
jars for the time that the particular
food requires.
For beans and other common vege-
tables, except tomatoes, and for meats,
the only method advocated is to use a
steam pressure cooker. To can these at
home with assurance Of safety by other
methods, it would be necessary to heat
them so many hours that when finally
done the food would not be very good
eating. In a pressure Gamer the jars
correctly adjusted, are set on a rack
over boiling water. The heavy lid is
clamped down and, under steam pres
sure, temperatures of 24O'F. or higher
are produced.

Right Way, Wrong Way

Can all you can-but do the jol
right" is a one-sentence sum-up of thii
years advice to home Gamers from U
S. Department of Agriculture. Need foi
food thrift is emphasized. Even strong
er is the emphasis on using correct
methods backed up by scientific re
search for home canning of food.
Right methods of home canning are
designed to take care of two situations:
They provide heat enough to make bac-
terra, yeasts, molds, and other spoilage
organisms harmless so that food in jars
freshness. They also provide for seal
ing jars correctly alright, so that spoil
age organisms outside cant get into the
iood stored up for use.
Wrong ways of canning take needless
chances. When jars of food break or
spoil, at best there is waste of time,
effort. and valuable food. At worst,
there may be serious accidents or food
poisoning. 1t is worth adding that last
season the one cause of accidents tina
attracted nationwide attention involved

canning.
Oven canning is dangerous in more
ways thar one. Even though an oven
goes to 25O'F. or higher, food inside
glass jars stays at about boiling point,
is 212'F. For beans, corn, and other
vegetables containing little acid, this
provides too little heating to make bac-
terra harmless. In addition, oven can
ming may result in explosions, if jars
seal during canning so that steam builds
up inside them. In cases in which this
has happened, oven doors lave blown
off, glass has flown out, resulting in
damage to kitchens and injury to indi-
viduals.
Open-kettle canning consists of cook
ing the food in an ordinary kettle and
packing it into jars and sealing. This
is wasteful for fruits and to-
matoes. Yeasts, molds, and bacteria can
get into jars from the air and other
sources when food is transferred from
to jar, and there is 40 further
to destroy them. For food with
little acid, and for meats, open kettle
is dangerous because the food
never gets hot enough to destroy bac-
terra.
