Airport Site AT
Nottingham Approved

The State Aeronautics Commission
las approved among other cites for
projected airports, one at Nottingham
Pa, for Alley G.. and Carl N. Hansen.
At the same time it offered finan-
cial help to communities that want to
start work ON airports without wait
ing until next fall to apply for Fed
eral aid.
William l.. Anderson, executive di-
rector of the State Aeronautics Com
mission, announced that it had ar
ranged to match contributions for
enough work to make local airports
"fyable," leaving it until later to
seek U. S. funds for refinements.
The Commonwealth has set up a
10-year $34,000,000 program to
match expenditures of communities.
Under the proposed Federal-aid Plan
the United States will match the
combined State and local expendi-
lures but, Anderson said, the FEEDER
al program will be scheduled over
number of years, and a community
might be left off the U. S. schedule
for several years.

Most varieties of pears should be
taken from the tree when they have
finished growing and kept in a cool
place until they are ripe enough to
serve raw. At this stage they are
tender and juicy but not mellow.
1t pays to take time to sort fruit
so that pieces of about the same
size and color can be kept together.
Then the pie or fruit-cup pieces
won't be mixed with those intend
ed for fancy looking desserts. Ev-
cry piece of fruit should be washed
carefully and drained well before
the skin is broken. Skins should be
removed from peaches, pears and
and apricots. Yes, the skin can be
left on but it is impossible to have
both skins and top quality. Stones
may be left in peaches and ripe
apricots, not that we understand
why anybody would want them, but
woe is more than likely to be the
lot of the home Gamer who leaves
stones in apricots which have been
taken from the tree before fully
ripe. Such aprlcotS have poor ma
vor at best and the green stones
make it even poorer.
But we are going too fast! Let's
remember that flavor is lost with
every minute lost between the time
the fruit is washed and the time
it is put into the Gamer for process
ing. Therefore, all jars, caps, lids,
and rubbers should be checked,
washed, rinsed, covered with water
and put over heat to sterilize;
water should also be put to heat
in whatever is used as water bath
Gamer, and all utensils and ma
terials collected before work is
started on preparing the fruit.

news to you that it may not be pos
sible to buy all the granulated sugar
you would like to have, but short
age of the cane and beet sugars
need not halt your fruit canning pro-
gram because corn strip can take
over where these granulated sugars
leave off, and a lot of people think
the fruit better when corn strip
helps out. Gladys Kimbrough,
Home Service Director for Ball
Brothers Company and editor of the
famous Ball Blue Book of Home
Canning and Preserving Recipes,
gives a basic strip recipe which
may be adjusted to meet your re-
quirements. The sirup is made by
combining two cups sugar, one cup
standard grade corn sirup, one cup
water or fruit juice, and boiling about
two minutes or until the sugar dis
solves. Either light or dark corn
strip may be used. The dark strip
is especially good with dark fruits.
It's flavor blends nicely with light
fruits too, but it tends to add color
where color may not be wanted.
Miss Kimbrough recommends
that, when possible, some sugar be
used when putting up fruit because
the flavor of sweetened fruit is more
acceptable to most persons but she
also makes it quite clear that fruit
will keep without sugar. When no

is likely to discolor.

Food Subsidy Lifts
Huge Federal Debt

Federal subsidy of food is one rea-
son for the accumulation of an enor-
nous national debt.
Subsidies totaling nearly $5,O0O,-
100000 have been paid from the Fed
eral treasury in the last three years
on numerous food products. This
spending has contributed to the in
crease in the Federal debt, which now
exceeds $4,000 for every family in the
nation.
In the opinion of many economists,
the food subsidy program has defeat
ed it's purpose. The subsidies, these
economists explain, exert infationary
effect on living costs by failing to
provide the incentive for increased
production by farmers which would be
derived from higher prices.

Quiz For MdrYldnders
Answer TO Question 4:

answer TO question !.
Believe it or not, in 1745 an
advertisement appeared in the
Maryland Gazette announcing
that a wrestling match would
be held between races for any
citizens who wished to contest.
The prize to the winner was a
pair Of "London Pumps"--shoes
to you. Horse racing has been a
Maryland tradition for over two
hundred years and is today
Maryland's most popular sport.
Answer to Question 2:
The money which makes Mary
land racing possible is provided
by two people-and two people
only-the horseman who brings
his horses to Maryland racing
and the man OF woman who goes
to the track to see the racing.
These two people-no one else
provide the money which makes
Maryland racing possible. With
out the support of the horseman
and without the support of the
public, there would be no horse
racing in Maryland no matter
what the State of Maryland,
the State Racing Commission or
the Racing Association wanted
to do about it.

pears, you might try adding half
teaspoon vanilla or orange, or nut
meg, or rum, or a few drops of
almond extract to each quart of
fruit. In other words, you are free
to make the things you put up at
home taste like you want them to
taste and that is something nobody.
else will or can do for you.
Up-to-date Gamers heat fruit
enough to shrink it before it is
placed in the jars for processing
by boiling in hot water bath can
ner. This is called hot packing. The
fruit may be heated in its own juice
or in sirup. One excellent way is
to measure the prepared fruit, add
the sugar to it, and heat gently until
the juice runs free and the sugar is
dissolved. Two cups sugar and one
cup corn sirup will sweeten gallon
of prepared peaches enough to suit
the average taste. If the peaches
are juicy, no water need be added.
Pears can usually get along with a
little less sugar than peaches call
for but they nearly always need
some water to start them cooking.
Processing time varies according
to the size, variety, and firmness of
fruit but the average time for
peaches, pears, and apricots, which
have been thoroughly heated before
packing, is fifteen minutes at boil
ing. Even if fruits keep, they will
discolor if for any reason they have
not been heated boiling hot all the
way through.
If you will begin with good home
canned fruits, you can end with Won
derful desserts which are just no
bother at all to make. For example,
Peaches and Cream Cake is a fit
ting finish for any meal. All you
do is make or buy a plain angel
food or sponge cake, frost it thick
with sweetened whipped cream and
surround it with halves of tree
ripened free-stone peaches right out
of your own jars. This cake should
be served at the table because it
is far too handsome to be cut in the
kitchen.

very expensive if we carry on our
