By Tenpin Delegates
Vote in Convention
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Mar.
l2.-Negroes will continue to re-
main outside the American Bowl
ing Congress.
For the third straight year
ABC delegates yesterday turned
thumbs down on an amendment
to delete the words individuals
of the white male SEX from their
constitution.
officials of the congress would
not comment on the rejection.
They had returned their full at
tention today to their tourna-
ment. which entered its second
month today.
The Rev. Charles Carow of the
Catholic Youth Organization OF
Brooklyn, N. Y. who sponsored
the amendment, took himself out
of the picture.
After the delegates voted over
whelmingly to defeat his amend
ment, the diminutive priest took
the floor and said:
1T was better to have fought
and lost than not to have fought
at all"
He predicted the ABC would be
bombarded by antidiscrimination
groups. He said some of the
groups may become hot-tempered
and take measures which would
be below his dignity as clergy
man.
Father Carow said he woulo
not press the ABC further tc
change the 33-year-old ban or
colored persons. Groups that will
take up the fight may use tools
that are not for me to employ,
he said.
There was one bright spot ir
the proceedings for Father Carow
Another Catholic priest, the Rev
Michael S. Wasniewski of Den
mark. Wis, resigned from the ABC
board of executive directors.
Father Wasniewski said he quit
after seven years as executive
director "as matter of principle p"
The convention approved an
amendment to the constitution,
changing membership from a
team to an individual basis. The
delegates put off to next year at
Indianapolis a question of how
much dues should be paid under
the new membership system. 1t
was suggested dues should be from

When the home canning season
gets into full swing the telephones
in our Office are even buster than
usual. One question that bobs up
each year is the old one about
canning tomatoes cold-pack style
versus the hot-pack method.
According to the most recent
information from the Bureau of
Human Nutrition and Home Eco
nomics, their laboratory tests show
that either method gives salts
factory results. Each way has
points in it's favor. The raw
packed tomatoes hold their color
and shape better than those done
the hot-pack way, but more toma-
toes can be packed into a jar
when the hot-pack method is
followed. The important thing,
they point out, is for the home
Gamer to follow directions that
are correct for that method OF
packing from start to finish.
Tomatoes that have not been suf-
ficiently heated in the canning
process will spoil in storage.
Since the cold-pack method is
becoming increasingly popular
with today's housewife am re-
peating directions for canning to-
matoes in that style.
The first step is to select toma-
toes that are ripe, firm and free
from spoiled spots. After the to-
matoes are washed, put them IN
a wire basket, or thin cloth,
then into boiling water for about
one-half minute, covering the pan
with a lid. Then they are dipped
quickly into cold water. The not
and cold treatment makes the
skins slip off easily. Before peel
ing, cut out the stem ends. The
peeled tomatoes may be left whole
or cut into quarters. as desired
Take one hot, clean jar at a time
and pack it with the raw to-
matoes, pressing down gently to
fill spaces. Fill each jar to one
half inch of the top. (No water
added Add one-half teaspoon
salt to a pint jar, l teaspoon to
a quart.
The next step is small one but
important. 1t is to remove the

LINED OAK FURNITURE?
from Mrs. J. O. S., ClintonJ
All advice on African violets
is different. Now, I want to add
my findings. I bought what I
thought was a plant at a florists
about Ia years ago. 1t was
blooming, but soon after 1t
stopped, never to bloom again.
Very early this spring, I decided
to change the dirt. 1 had four
separate plants. I put each in a
small pot with ordinary garden
dirt and chicken manure. I wa
tered all but one from the bottom
about once a week or when I re-
membered them. One of the vio-
lets is now Towering. 1t is in a
southwest window. I have one
that isn't near any window and
it is now nice and green.
would also like to comment on
travelling with babies. If it's at
all possible, go by plane. I took
my year-old son to New York
from Washington last July. He
behaved beautifully. There were
babies of all sizes in the plane,
some going on to Boston. The
stewardess asked all mothers if
they would need the babies milk
heated. She talked to the ones
old enough to understand and
then talked to the mothers about
their children. One airline here
Il think that it starts with an E.
offers family rates during the
middle of the week, when they
give reduced rates if mother, ia
ther and children go.
My experience with ironers leads
me to think they are wonderful,
I do everything, including shirts,
except for my dresses and blouses
I think it is faster on everything
though I haven't timed it on
shirts. The instruction book
should be followed and I don't
think any one will have trouble.
I have about four dozen double
daffodil bulbs that I'd like to trade
for single dafodils and other out
door or indoor plants, cuttings OF
seeds. Also some poppy seeds q
think that they are Iceland pop
pies).
Can any one tell me, what, II
anything, could I do about a
lined solid oak table and chairs
that are darkening? About once
a month I wash them down, dry
them, and wax them with the
paste wax that begins with the
letter ]. A friend of mine has a
bedroom set that is doing the
same thing. I'd be grateful for
any ideas so we could both do
something about it.
