done the day before.
The day before you begin actual
canning, check on equipment to be
sure that it works properly. For
fruit and berry canning you will
need a water bath, which may be
a large kettle or broiler, fitted
with a rack, and tightly fitting
cover. Or, you also may use pres
sure cooker for processing, but this
is not as essential for fruits as 1t
is for vegetables.
You will need several large pans
and kettles for preparing the fruit
and for making the syrup. You also
will need to prepare jars, checking
them for cracks and imperfectlons,
and washing them in hot soapy
suds. Make certain you have enough
covers or lids.
Estimating Amounts
Although fruits and berries vary
in size and moisture content, 1t IS
still possible to make some sort OF
estimate as to how much syrup and
the number of jars you will need.
For sweet fruits, you will use a
syrup made of cups of sugar to
4 cups of water; for slightly acid
fruit, use cups of sugar to 3 cups
of water; for acid fruit, 2 cups OF
sugar to 2 cups of water is ample.
If the fruit is very acid, 2 cups OF
sugar to cup of water is essential.
The syrup is made simply by add
ing the sugar to the water and boil
ing together for minutes.

such as peaches and pears, allow

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.

dent Truman and Secretary Marshall
need to do to begin perpetual world
peace right now is to offer to the
Soviets solemnly in the United Ma
tions to completely disarm America,
provided Russia will likewise com
pletely disarm. Russia has already
made similar offer to the once pano
piled world.
Unless Truman and Marshall make
such an offer, many in America, and
more elsewhere in the world, think
the blood, the agony, the despair of
future war will be on their heads.
The untimely death of Mr.. Roose-
welt may be mourned a thousand
years. He had the head, the heart,
the soul to make such an offer, and do
it the day after VI day. Instead of
diverting our surplus products and
man power to preparation for future
war, and feeding Europe LONGER

turn the spears into plough shares,
the swords into pruning hooks. But
for his death, we would now be build

would be one against the ignorance,
guided by greed, of those who now
oppose the Missouri and other Valley
Authorities, and the Russian youth

spoke of the value of circulars, post
ers, dramatics and other media of edu-
cation, she emphasized that the best
way to educate for Co-ops is by word
of mouth-person to person contact.
Speaking as a union man, Larry
Price of the Carpenters union, said the
Coop is the only hope the laboring
man has of stretching his dollar.
Years ago he had lost money in Co-ops
that had failed, but he was still con-
WINGED that CO-ops can be successful.
Mr. Price said he had acquired a share
of stock, patronage dividends and good
quality merchandise from the F. u. Oil
Coop in Great Falls without investing
a cent except his patronage.
A brief report on the activities of
the Smeltermen's Coop committee
was made by Louis Tonkavich who
said that the Smeltermen were hoping
other groups would join them and that
q joint committee representing all in
terested groups in the county would
carry the Coop ball from now on. Mr..
Tonkavich ended his remarks by say
ing "The corporations may have the
money, but the people have the power
if they will use it."
The meeting was chaired by Ray
Richardson, president of the Shelter
mems union and Coop enthusiast.
Elected to the temporary Coop COM
mittee were the following: Larry
Price, chairman; Zoe Graham, secre-
tary, and committee members, Carl

power Democratic senators and con-
gressmen led the fight for states
rights.
A 15-year warfare ensued until pro-
gressive Democrats and Republicans
finally passed the Federal Water Pow
er Act of 1920 and set up the Federal
Power Commission to lease sites. In
1885 congress added federal control

In espousing the conservation move

minded scientists and liberal states
men of both parties, and no party,
Theodore Roosevelt supplied the dy-

the counsel of the "stand patters" of
his party and whatever else he did

landmark of American democracy.
The same is true of Woodrow Will

Going on down on the Mississippi
river, one finds that the 1947 record
height of 1925 feet at ST. Louis, Mo-,
was caused by lesser flow of water
than in either 1913 or 1914. These
figures are from the July issue of the

There is no apparent answer to the.
question why" except disastrous mis-
management of the river by the U. S.
Army Engineers.
The Army has spent hundreds of
millions of dollars on the lower Mis-
souri, on channel sterilization and nav
igation works. The channel has been
narrowed and its carrying capacity re-
duced, without apparent thought of the
consequences, or as a result of the
most colossal engineering blunder of
our age-reliance on the theory that
the silt-laden river would scour it's
bottom and recapture carrying capa-
city by the Army,s wing bikes and
other narrowing devices.
The river has obviously deposited
silt and not secured it's bottom, just
as Army Engineers were warned it
would do.
1t is important that everyone cease
to call the 1947 floods the worst
floods in century, without qualifying
the statement. They were the most
devastating, but far from the largest
in terms of water flow.
