145,S78 returns were filed reporting
1850 incomes as compared with
138,435 returns filed up to June 30,

Fewer split shirt seams for the

Eleanor Cavanaugh, Kent County
Home Demonstration Agent tells
about a new mems shirt design de-
veloped at Oregon State College.
The change from convential shirt
design is simply the use of a differ
ent sleeve arrangement - which
seamstresses call an underarm-
sleeve bias gusset.
The underarm bias gusset was
tried first in hoUsedresses. It was
adapted to mems sport shirts at
the suggestion of several men who
liked the freedom of arm movement
it allowed.
Two short sleeved sport shirts
were made from a commercial nat
tern, using the has gusset. College
students tested the shirts. and said
they were more comfortable. STAYED

Canned Goods Need
Good Storage Place

Now is the time to arrange a
good storage place for the food
you will can this spring and sum
mer Here are tips from Mrs. May
belle Long, Sussex County Home
Demonstration Agent, for storing
food canned in glass jars.
Arrange for a cool, dark. dry
storage place" she says. Damp
ness makes metal lids rust. Heat
and light destroy flavor and vita
Minis. Some foods lose color as
well. Keep canned food away from
hot pipes, radiators, OF the furnace.
The cooler the storage place, the
better, as long as foods do not
freeze"
Freezing may crack Jar or
break a seal and let in bacteria
that will cause spOilage. If freez-
ing does not damage the Jar or
seal, the food will be safe to eat
but will not taste good. Build
shelves for canned foods not kent
in cases. If jars of food are nut
away in cases, stand the cases ON
racks to keep them off the floor"
For more information, see your
home demonstration agent.
