Sliced And Sugared
For The Freezer

Red ripe all over, sound, firm
and slightly tart in flavoring -
that's the way to have Strawberries
for home freezing. And straWber-
ries are among the fruits that
freeze most successfully, says May
belle L. Long, Sussex County Home
Demonstration Agent.
Berries may be frozen whole in
sugar syrup or as puree or Juice,
but for finest flavor the specialists
recommend sliced or brushed ber-
ries, sweetened with sugar. Here's
how to prepare sliced, sugared ber-
ries:
After sorting berries to remove
any that are green or imperfect,
wash in cold water, few at a time,
lifting them gently out of the wa
ter to prevent bruising. Drain in
a colander. Then remove hulls and
slice into bowl.
Sprinkle on sugar. allowing q
cup sugar to each quart "a eups)
Of fruit. To draw out Juice. turn
fruit over several times with
large spoon. (Use granulated, Ell
ther beet or cane, or one-fourth
corn syrup and three-fourths gran
ulated sugar.)
Pack berries in mOisture-vapOr-
proof containers. Rigid containers
such as the new square plastic
boxes" with press-On lids or glass
freezer jars are easy to use. The
berries will expand as they freeze,
so one-half inch headspace should
be left in pint containers, and one
inch headspace in quarts. Be sure
juice covers all the fruit. Press.
berries down with a spoon if nee
essary to let the juice rise.
Seal the container. Then label
to show the date and also the type
of Production example: "Sliced
sugared strawberries, June Is,

Freeze and store at zero F. or
lower.

Continued from nrst page,

The reason that DeIawareans
made more use, proportionately, of
these Out-of-state benefits is that
Delawareans, on the average, trav-
el more than people from other
states, according to Mr.. Robert G.
Denzler, Assistant Managing Direc-
tor who added that the figures do
not indicate, that Delawareans get
sick more frequently than residents
of other states while away from
home.
The fact that Delawareans are
more often away from their home
state than other Americans was
confirmed by w. Murray Metten.
travel editor of the News-Journal
Papers, who said that Wilmington
has the highest per capita annual
travel expenditure of any city in
the United States.
The figures reported to the local
Blue Cross show that in the first
quarter of this year, 789 Delaware
members were hospitalized away
from home, and received 5,82O.5
days of care. Group Hospital Serv-
ice paid a total of $64,987.16 to-
ward the hospital bills of the mem
bers hOspitalized in the 7S9 cases.
Delaware's number of cases is
exceeded, among the rs other Blue
Cross organizations, only by those
in cities or states having a far
greater population. Thus, Cleveland
had 887 cases, st. Paul, SAT and
Philadelphia only 1,O7S. The largest
number was in the New York City
Plan, which had S,OSS away-from-
home cases.

New Weed Control
Saves Labor In
Seeded Asparagus

A new weed-contrOl technique
cuts hand-labOr in seeded aspara-
gus to as much as One-fOurth of
what it used to be.
E. M. Rain, associate hOrticul-
turist at the Delaware Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, worked
out the new method in 1850 on a
12-acre field at Bridgeville. This
spring growers used this method
on over 100 acres of seeded aspar-
agus.
The asparagus acreage in Della
ware is increasing, said Rain, and
there is more demand for aspar-
agus crowns. In the past most
growers did not grow their own
crowns from seed because of the
serious weed control problem.
The method consists of spray
ing an Oil-water emulsion con-
tanning pentachlOrOphenol at rs
gallons per acre just before as
paTagus emergence. Weeds come
up before the asparagus and are
killed. 1t is important, said Rain,
not to cultivate after seeding, until
about four weeks after the weed
killer is applied. Otherwise fresh
seeds would be brought to the sur
face, and these would quickly ger

u :. Troops Can Use Atomic
Weapons, EniWetOk Tests
Indicate

The atom, originally conceived
as a crippling force in strategic
bombing, can be used by troops in
the field, according to a Washing
ton observer who was among the
invited guests" who witnessed the
top secret atomic weapon tests at
EniwetOk this month.
Contrary to the general impress
sion, according to this witness,
troops using atomic weapons on an
enemy may advance in a matter of
minutes after the atomic blast with
out danger from radiation, either
Immediately or later.
A fuller and more authoritative
report on the ERiwetok tests is ex-
pected shortly. Lieutenant General
ElWood r. Quesada of the Air
Force, in charge at Eniwetok, is re-
ported on his way back to Wash
ington, and has announced that he
would hold a press conference on
the operation.
The information given out how
ever, suggests the tremendous sig
niticance and effect the later re-
port may have on both military tao
tics and civilian defense.

Truman's Ten Billion Tax Increase
Goes UD In Smoke


Abandoning all hope for the ten
billion dollar tax increase asked
by the President, the House Ways
and Means Committee today faces
what appears to be a losing battle
for the compromise figure of seven
billion as a result of the fight
over cigarette taxes that has divid-
ed the Democratic majority into
embattled groups.
Thus far the approved tax in
creases are estimated as producing
no more than $5,71O,OOO,OOO annu-
ally. In addition to the proposed
increase from seven to ten cents
per pack in cigarette taxes, the
committees agenda for this week
includes consideration of sharp ex-
else increases on gasoline, auto
mobiles, radios, television sets, and
household appliances.
And, as if the committee were not
in enough trouble already, House
tax experts have now come up
with suggested taxes on soda pop
and candy bars! Certainly, now
would be the. time for HOpalong
Cassidy to run for office!

men will arrive in Korea to take
their places in the u. N. battle lines.
This outfit of Halle Selassie will
fight with British arms and live
on U. S. rations. To make this
arrangement possible, it was neces-
sary to secure for these troops the
blessings of the Coptic Christian
Church, which freed them from
their strict dietary laws.
All of which suggests, that here
may be the clue to more assistance

season to Latin American tourism.
In addition to the introduction Of
"a name that is intriguingly mus
ical-Punta del Este-there is also
under way the most progressive
promotion of a Latin American
watering place that has taken
place in many years.
The success Of this attractive
resort at the juncture Of the At
ilantic Ocean and the River Plate
lis reflected in the fact that
Moore Nc Cormack Lines has add
ed four stops there to its cruise
itineraries the coming winter. 1t
is rare that a resort relatively
unknown in North America Is
given such enthusiastic attention
lat the outset Of its career.
At a recent meeting here in
the Uruguayan capital. plans were
drafted to make the resort live
up to all the promises which its
sponsors hold out.
The resort, located on the cape
that juts out where the ocean
meets the river. has all the fea-
lures that lure the traveller. In
its casinos the visitor may tempt
Lady Luck, for gambling is legal
and well regulated. Then. too,
there will be music of the very
highest quality for the dance low
erS.
There is selection Of beaches
at Punta del Este, and there are
golf clubs. yacht clubs and the
elegance Of hotels and homes in
pine setting and along the coast
that lends an atmosphere of quail
ity to the entire resort.
Moore Mccormack decided to
add Punta del Este to the 1882
cruise itineraries starting with the
