Queries Answered
How high should fruit be packed
for canning? Pack fruit and syrup
to within one inch Of the top.
How much salt should be added
to water in which peeled fruit is
placed to prevent discoloration?
Add one teaspoon of salt to each
quart Of water used.
What makes fruit and tomatoes
float? Too much processing, too
heavy syrup or too loose pack
may be the causes.
Why should fruit for canning be
uniform in size and ripeness? Fruit
should be evenly ripe and about the
same size so that processing will be
equal.
Can l can over-ripe fruit? No,
it's too difficult to get good prod
uct. Use over-ripe fruit and ber-
ries for fruit buffers, as the fruit
will have to be mashed and there
is enough sugar to act as pre-
servative.

LYNN SAYS:
Save Time, Work, Money
With These Hints

Lettuce leaves tossed into soup
will absorb fat and give you less
greasy soup to serve. Remove
leaves as soon as they take up fat.
Before you broil bacon, steaks or
chops, cut gashes in the fat. This
prevents the meat from curling
when it is cooked.
Bits of soap make nice jelly which
is lovely to use for shampoo, or for
washing lingerie, gloves. hose and
other delicate things.
Arizona sun., 1947-08-01

To prevent mold from forming on
smoked meats such as bacon, ham
and sausage, dip cloth in vim
egar and wrap around the meat.
Store in the refrigerator.
Use fruit juices for soaking and
cooking dried fruits. It will give
them better flavor as well as more
food value.
Cheese stays moist if it is covered
with thin coating of butter before
being stored in the refrigerator.
Cheese which has hardened and can
not be sliced should be ground and
used in grated form.

MILLER URGES
SCHOOL CHANGE
Program Giving Greater Pow
er To Local Districts
Stressed
DISCUSSED AT MEETING

A reorganization of school dis
tricts. to obtain larger and more
efficient units, and program Civ
ing greater autonomy to the local
districts, have been placed at the
top of list of "Some Musts in
Delaware Education" by Dr.George
R. Miller, state superintendent of
public instruction. Speaking May
10 at the annual State Education
Conference in Mitchell Hall, Uni
versity of Delaware, DR.. Miller told
about 300 secondary school super
intendents, principals and teachers
that "a reorganization of school,
districts in Delaware is fundament-
ally essential to obtain the best
education and the best uses of the
money available"
w. E. Goslin, Speaker
Also speaking at the morning
session was Willard E. Goslin,
Minneapolis superintendent Of
schools, whose topic was 'Educa-
ton Will Move Forward #" Mr..
Goslin said education's responsible
tiles were twofold: to help create
and maintain and atmosphere of
general welfare for all the people,
and to contribute to the growth
and development of individual cit
izens who can carry their share of
the load in a free, democratic so
ciety. DR.. Miller explained that he
considered the school district reor-
gsanization "all the more urgent for
two reasons: First, a tremendous
and unprecedented increase in the
birth rate everywhere. Second,
certain rural school districts will
find it increasingly difficult to OBJ
tain and keep well trained teach
ers." Advantages of the enlarged
school district, he said, have been
proved, and these are significant
enough to lend encouragement to
any effort in this direction.

HOME GAME SUNDAY
V-LEAGUE
Standing of the Teams

Displaying tight defense and
real hitting power, the Smyrna
Baseball Team overwhelmed Cecil
ton on May IL at Cecilton by a
score of 10 to 1.
Hudson, pitching for Smyrna,
gave up but four scattered singles
and three walks. He should have
had a shut-out, but Smyrna's one
error, bad throw, gave Cecilton
their lone run. Aided by a fast
double play-Grier to Carson to
Handsberry-Hudson allowed but
33 batters to face him for the nine
innings. He pitched 83 times for
an average of 8 pitches per inning.
But fine as was Hudson's pitch
ing, the star of the game was Grier
who handled faultlessly six chances
at shortstop, hit three singles and
home run, for four times at bat,
scored four runs, batted in three,
stole two bases, started a double
play, and scored from End, by
smart base running, on an infield
out.
Carson, at second, accepted sew
en- chances flawlessly and hit a
single and a double in five times at
bat. The rest of Smyrna's hits
were spread right through the bat
ting order, everyone getting a hit
except R. Jacobs and Hudson.
Preston knight hit a long triple
into deep center field.
The Smyrna infield was sharp
and smooth on defense, getting
twenty men out on ground balls
and flies without an error. The
outfeld was just as effective, al
though not having as many
chances.
On the offense the Smyrna team
got twelve hits for eighteen bases,
and stole seven bases. They started
off with a rush, scoring two runs
in the first inning; then two more
in the fifth; one in the sixth; two
in the seventh; and, finally, in the
eighth, with two on base and two
out, Grier hit a home run deep into
right field.
The five leading hitters for
Smyrna at present are: Grier, 667;
Seward, .428; Carson, .285. Knight,
$50; R. Handsberry, .222
