CANNING

Match up your jars and lids
carefully for success in your can
ing this summer" With the stand
ard Mason jar, three types of lids
may be used:
1. The zinc porcelain-lined cap
is used with shoulder rubber
ring. When canning with this
combination, fit the wet ring
down on the jar shoulder, but
don't stretch more than needed.
Fill jar, then screw cap down
firmly, and turn it back a quarter
turn to let hot air escape during
processing. After canning, quick
ly screw cap down tightly to COM
plete seal.
2. The glass lid and top-seal rub
Der ring combination is held in
place by metal screw band. Be
fore filling Mason jar, fit rub
Der on glass lid. Fill jar and put
lid on with rubber side down.
Screw the metal band on tight;
then, using thumb as guide, turn
back almost quarter turn, OF
so that band and jar just mesh
together. Be careful band isn't
screwed too tight, or jar may
break; found one woman lost
seven quarts of rabbit by failing
to do this). AS soon as jar is
taken from Gamer, screw band
down tight. Next day when jar
has cooled, take off screw band
carefully. If band sticks, cover
for a minute or two with damp
cloth, to loosen.
3. The flat metal lid edged with
sealing compound, is held in place
by metal screw band. When
canning, fill jar, putting lid on so
that sealing compound is next to
the glass rim. Screw metal band
on firmly, but not hard enough to
cut through the compound. When
screwed down firmly, this lid has
enough "give" to let air escape
during canning. Remember this
is "self-sealer," so leave "as is
when removed from Gamer. Don't
tighten further, or the seal may
be broken. The screw band may
be removed next day as for glass

at top Of empty jar, fill jar, and
put on glass lid. Push long wire
over top of lid, so it fits into
groove-leave short wire up. As
soon as jar is taken from Gamer,
quickly push short wire down to
complete seal.
Coffee or other commercial jars
-"63's"-are not so desirable as
the regular canning jars. These
are sealed with flat metal lid
edged with sealing compound,
bought new, held in place by metal
screw cap that came with jar.
From an old metal cap pry out
paper lining or boil and scrape
out sealing compound, punching
a small hole or two in the cap
from inside SO cap can act as
a screw band. The same pro-
cedure is followed as for the self
sealing lid Cd. Found one acci.-
dent from using coffee can, used
under boiling water bath, jar ex-
ploded while being taken from
water and woman received bad
burns on arm.)

out that he has worked closely
and harmoniously with school dis
tricts and county and city units Of
government, giving them help at
all times and making greatly in
creased financial ALLEGATIONS to as
sist them in meeting problems ag-
gravated by the war and con-
gested populations.
But all the while, Governor
Langlie has not let himself be-
come so preoccupied with war
problems that he has neglected
internal state government i'm
provements. Business procedures,
he said, have been overhauled
and brought up to date to insure
maximum services to the taxpay-
ers at minimum cost.
AS an example of saving he cited
the 5000, 000-mile annual reduc-
ton in driving by state cars. This
program was instituted long be-
fore the tire and gasoline situa-
tons caused curtailment of driv-
ing. He mentioned another annual
saving of $4,000 by the combina-
ton of the highway traffic control
program with the State Patrol
Savings of these kinds were made
by the scores. The number of
employees on the state payroll was
reduced between $50 and 1000.
The governor mentioned the
problems of rising costs during
the past three years and said he
has increased wages of employees
from 20 to 80 percent. Outlays
for social security and ALLEGATIONS
to the schools were increased ma
terially in keeping with the trend
Non essential expenditures,
however, have been eliminated
Governor Langlie said, and the
state now finds itself in the best
financial condition in its history
It has virtually no debt.
Cash balances of large proper
tons exist in all of the states
major funds. The general fund, he
said, has a surplus of approx
mately $4,000, 900; the highway
fund S1O.OOO.OOO and the game
fund $1,OO0,OOO.
ALI of these funds have been
carefully accumulated to be used
in postwar development and to
help in meeting postwar employ
ment problems when war con-
tracts end and more than 100000
service men from this state are
demobilized, it was stated.
The governor does not believe,
however, that any branch of gov
eminent should attempt to bear
the brunt of continuous postwar
employment. He has been work
ing with leaders of labor, agri-
culture, industry, business and
other governmental agencies and
has achieved marked success in
getting them prepared to absorb
employment in private industry.
Governmental funds, Governor
Langlie declared, should be used
