"He won't take it."
Il think he will--when the time

adviser under the Mutual Sc
curity Agency. In the meantime
the chief education officer went to
Rangoon and asked the Fulbright
Board to give Mrs. Hunerwadel
grant to continue teaching the
same things officially she had been
doing on a voluntary basis. The
grant was given and she began in
an official capacity in June, 1851,
and continued until March, 1852.
BY pure coincidence. within two
days of the time she graded her
last class, her husband was called
back to the States to attend some
hearings.
Helen Hunerwadel majored in
science at the University of Ten
nessee, where she took some
courses in home economics. Then
she married Otto Hunerwadel, an
agriculturist, and lived on a 100
acre farm in Lawrence County,
Tenn. Otto was county agricultural
agent under the extension service
of the university. Helen took an
active part in the All Clubs and
home demonstration work. Her
knowledge of canning, she says, is
based on practical experience. The
University of Hawaii extension
service was very helpful while she
was in Burma in sending material
on tropical foods. Different can
manufacturers answered her pleas
for help as we'll as the University
of Florida and the United States
Department of Agriculture. From
these sources she cleaned valuable
information on canning citrus
fruits.
"An American cookbook In
Burma is not much help unless
you're good at improvising," she
says, because you can't get the
things you do at home" One in
Istance she cited was the lack of

of preservation. She noticed, too,
the large amount of imported
canned and bottled goods in the
shops selling at such high prices
only the very well-to-do families
could afford to buy them.
This started her thinking
II only there was some way of
canning all the surplus she saw
going to waste it could be made
available to the average family
at a price they could afford to
pay. In spite of the fact there
was no equipment available to
can the food, the idea persisted.
She began talking to the educa-
tional officials about her idea and
found them very receptive. When
she made trip back to the States
after her first year they gave her
$500 to purchase some equipment
to start course in home can
ming on her return.
Equipment From Home
During the five months she was
at home she contacted a num-
Der Of equipment companies and
gathered material that would be
useful. She went back armed
with pressure cookers Chome size)
sealers, cans. bottle cappers and
caps, juice extractors, food mills,
sleves. sausage suffers and fruit
presses. Many of the firms do
mated equipment to help her with
the project. On her return the
Shan state government provided
a building for her and, on a purely
voluntary basis, she started her
classes.
II called it the demonstration
kitchen but to my students it was
the canning kitchen and, try as ]
might, canning kitchen it has re-
mained," Mrs. Hunerwadel told
me, smilingly. She teaches an in
tensive short course that lasts for
10 to IA days. The classes begin
at 8 in the morning and con-
tinue until the processing for the
