news to you that it may not be pos
sibie to buy all the granulated sugar
you would Ike 10 nave, but short
age of the cane and beet sugars
need not halt your fruit canning pro-
gram because corn sirup can take
over where these granulated sugars
leave off, and lot of people think
the fruit better when corn sirup
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 strip is made by
combining two cups OF sugar, one
cup standard grade corn strip, one
cup water or fruit juice, and boiling
about two minutes or until the sug-
ar dissolves. 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. sh~--~-"---''|'' -. -<~.>.r.
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 sugar is used. the fruit should
be heated in a little water or in its
own juice before it is put into the
Jars. Whether canned with or with
out sugar, fruit should be covered
with liquid in the jar, otherwise, it
is likely to discolor.

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.
It 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 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 apricots have poor fla
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 what
ever is used as a water bath can
ner, and all utensils and materials
collected before work is started on
preparing the fruit.

pears, you might try adding hall
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.
Heat Fruit Thoroughly
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 strip. 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 strip will sweeten a 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, whic"
have been thoroughly heated befol G
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
cann- i fruits, you can end with Won
derful desserts which are just no
bother at all to make. For example.

do is make or buy plain angel

had the economic effect intended"
Miss Fox commented.
Tallulah Bankhead, fiery star of
Eagle Rampant" last Thursday
also spoke out against barring Of
colored people from attending per-
formances at the National theater.
81 have spoken out against this
for years as have other members
Of the profession" said the daugh-
ter Of the late Senator John H.
Bankhead, of Alabama.
81 think it is not only a national
disgrace but an international scan
dal that our great country's capital
should make laughing stock Of our
Constitution and bill of rights by
discriminating against any human
being in any form.
81 hope Actors Equity will soon
act on the proposal that no actors
appear here unless colored people
are admitted to all performances.
Miss Bankhead said she believes
the proposal would be unanimously
adopted by Actors Equity, but
added that "if a few bigots vote
against it, they do not belong in
our profession"

In answer 10 a question asked
by DIR. A. ]. Northrup, associate
pastor Of the Paramount Avenue
Methodist church, Paul A. Brem-
ecker, executive secretary Of the
st. Paul Young Mems Christian
Association, declared that there are
no racial barriers now ut the local
YMCA.
Bremeicker, who was the prin-
cipal speaker at the meeting of the
Methodist Preachers Association in
the Central YMCA building on
Monday, said that Negroes are
given room accommodations and
every privilege extended to eau
casians.
He told the group Of ministers
that recently when a company Of
Negro actors were unable to find
lodging elsewhere they were given
accommodations at the YMCA.
Several years ago, the Rev. Clar-
ence T. r. Nelson, pastor Of Cam
phor Methodist church, applied for
membership in the local "Y." He
received his membership card two
years later. II was during the two
year interval that the 'Y" board
of directors must have decided to
remove racial barriers.
The YWCA has had a non-dis-
criminatory policy for years. The
St. Paul YMCA will launch a cam
paign for $500 for building and
program improvements next June.

tional and then attend in mixed
parties only to be refused admis-
sion and have the purchase price
of the tickets refunded, the the
alter management has decided to
refund no more ticket money to
such persons.
A notice posted in the lobby Of
the theater last Thursday stated:
Tickets sold by this theater are
not transferable and are sold sub
ject to compliance with the known
policy of this theater as to per
sons entitled to admission. If pre-
sented by any person not conform
ing to the policy, admission will
be refused and no refund made"
The words, refused and no re-
funds made" were underscored.
Commenting on this counter
move by the theater, Miss Ida
Fox, executive secretary Of the
Committee for Racial Democracy,
said:
"If the next interracial group
that goes to the National theater
is refused admission and denied a
refund of ticket money, our at
torneys are prepared to take neces-
sary and proper steps to test the
legality of the theater's position in
the courts"
Miss Fox also said the same no
tice posted in the lobby Of the the
alter has been printed on the ad-
vance notices of a play to open
at the National Dec. % and that
tickets being sold in advance for
the play also contain such a notice.
