Candy and Candy Mking


is evidence that sweets and honey
and dates were used as special foods
at banquets for royalty. 1t is diff
cult to estimate the value of candy,
not only INTENTIONALLY but also in its
importance in our lives. The
thoughtful young man takes box
of the young lady's special candy
when he goes counting. Giving candy
to children in war torn countries has
made us friends and the morale of
the soldier improves when candy
bars are included in rations.
We are prone to think that chill
dren should not be allowed to have
candy. However, a sweet at the end
of the meal, either as fudge cake or
piece of fudge, brings the meal to
pleasant end.
Christmas is the great candy holi-
day. Candy canes on the Christmas
tree, boxes of home made candy from
the home kitchen or the most elab-
crate CONNECTIONS from the candy
shop, all are part of the Yuletide
celebration.
From whats New in Home Eco
nomics'' comes this very pertinent
information for the home candy
maker:
There are many interesting kinds
of homemade candy that are easy to
make, attractive to look at, and good
to eat. Commercially, candy making
is a well-controlled process, always
made with great precision as to
formula and often prepared with
some ingredients not available in re-
tail stores. Then, too, it is often
made in temperature and-humidity
controlled plants. Such eXacting
conditions cannot be duplicated in
the home, and for this reason candies
made at home differ from CONNER
cial candies.
A thermometer is essential for the
amateur candymaker when making
cooked candies since they must be
boiled to a given temperature. There
are observable differences at each re-
quired temperature when the hot
sirup is dropped into cold water, but
this method of determining when the
candy is done is inexact and results
are uncertain.
Two Glasses of Candy
There are two general classes OF
candy-crystalline and noncrystal-
ine-depending on the form in
which sugar is present and the
amount of sugar in the sirup. Fon-
dant, fudge and penuchi are ex-
amples of crystalline candies; cara
nels, taffies and brittles are familiar

ufacturers are producing the safest,
cleanest and most informatively Ia
beled products ever available to the
public"
On the label the manufacturer is
required to tell you what is inside
the package. You as a consumer need
to know what to look for on the label
TO be good purchasing agent for
your family.
The food label must tell about the
product in way which will not mis-
lead the purchaser. 1t must be easy
to read and understand under ordi-
nary conditions of purchase and use
(the print not so small magnifying
glass is needed). The net contents
must be stated in liquid measure for
liquids and in weight for solids The
name and place of business of the
manufacturer, packer or distributor
must be on the label. There are So
called nutrition quacks' who try to
brighten people into believing that
their diets are deficient in vitamins
or minerals. After all, our common
foods-milk, meat, vegetables, fruits,
cereals-are the best sources of nor
NAL vitamins and mineral require
ments.
The drug label must give adequate
directions for use. 1t must indicate
for what purpose the medicine is to
be taken, how much to take, how
often and for how long. The label
must also warn when the drug must
not be taken. Wild claims on labels
for worthless medicines are much
less frequent than they were years
ago. However, today's medicine
frauds are often more sophisticated
and difficult to detect. AS in the food

as well as the name and address of
the manufacturer, packer or distrib-

Many devices for curing all sorts
of ailments are on the market today.
Only few devices such as ultra vio-
let lamps, infrared lamps, heating
pads and thermometers should be
used at home, and even for these
close attention should be paid to
their labelling. Following the direc-
tons on even the thermometer will
enable you to use it properly. The
lnfrared lamp should never be
turned on children, sick or weak per-
sons who might be unable to turn il
off.
Under our American system, the
user has his choice of a great variety
of wholesome, truthfully labeled
products to suit his particular needs
If he is in doubt about any product
he should write to the Food and

candy. Corn Slrup or ACID are ire
quently used for this purpose. Larger
amounts of corn sirup or acid than
are needed in crystalline candies are
required to insure the desired result.
Beet sugar and cane sugar are
sucrose and thus are alike chem
ically. They contain about 0.5 per
cent of moisture and are easily dis
solved in water. They also permit
water to evaporate quickly. There
fore, crystalline candies which con-
tain large per cent of sucrose lose
moisture quickly, while noncrystal-
line candies take up moisture
quickly.
Other Ingredients Used
Although sugar in one or more
of its forms is the important in
gredient in making candy, there are
many other ingredients that are used
for flavor, for variety in texture,
and for food value. Certain candies
are used in making other candies, as
marshmallows in fudge or melted
caramels to coat such candies as
marshmallows or to cover apples.
Baking soda has several uses in
candy making. Its use prevents
curdling when an acid ingredient,
such as brown sugar is used with
milk in the recipe. 1t reacts with the
10 i,
bon dioxide helps to make taffies
and brittles porous. 1t darkens some
types of candies and it is thought
that soda makes candy taste less
sweet.
Used also are various dried or
canned fruits, such as dates, raisins,
pineapple, cherries, and coconut.
Other ingredients-gelatin, pectin,
butter or margarine, peanut butter,
flavoring of many kinds, corn strip,
molasses, marshmallow topping,
honey, nonfat dry milk solids, evap-
GRATED milk, sweetened condensed
milk-all make definite contribu-
tons to appearance, flavor, texture,
or food value of candies, and thus
are candy compliments. Salt also is
an important ingredient in all types
of candy as flavor improver.
Quick Candies
The no-cook fondant and fudge
recipes given here are right in line
with the present trend in the making
of quickly prepared foods. To make
these crystalline types of no-cook
candies or any of their variations,
it is not essential to have special
candy-making equipment, no special
skill is needed, and no ripening
period is required.
Available also are mixes from
which to make candies quickly. To
some, fine sugar as confectioners'
must be blended in with butter or
margarine, while others require only
that the package contents be added
to little melted butter and water.
Pralines, another crystalline type
of candy, are popular and are not
difficult to make when directions
are followed accurately. Sugared
grapefruit and orange rind make an
attractive addition to the gift pack
age, because they are colorful, fill
in spaces, and are of course, good to
eat.
To prevent crystalline candies
from losing moisture and noncrystal-

Crystalline Candies

In crystalline candies the size of
the sugar crystals determines the So
called crean1iness of the candy. In
cooked candies the strip is boiled to
such concentration that the size of
sugar crystals is controlled by US
ing some ingredient that interferes
with crystal formation, and by cool
ing the sirup before beating. Such
ingredients, sometimes called inter
fering agents, adhere to the surface
of small crystals, and by preventing
them from collecting to form large
crystals, make the resulting candy
creamy in texture.
Corn strip, butter, or cream are
commonly used to prevent the for
nation of large crystals. An acid,
such as cream of tartar or vinegar
is also commonly used to interfere
with the formation of large sugar
crystals, because it changes sucrose
to simple sugars and these simple
sugars interfere with capitalization.
NoncrYstalline Candies
In making noncrystalline candies
the sirup is boiled to concentrate it
sufficiently so that it will not crystal
lie readily. Sometimes ingredients

indirectly disparage the intelli.
gence and the struggling Chris
tan conscience which is giving
rise to a louder and more insis.
tent voice for social justice for all
the people.
There are Negroes, natives oi
South Carolina, who would defend
the South against the implication
which Byrnes and Talmadge give
that the South is prejudice-rid-
den beyond redemption.
The South is not the waste
bowling moral wilderness where
the citizens are lost and do not
seek the way; nor where the
people are blind and would not
have the light. In spite of some OF
it's representatives, the South is
an up and coming region of these
United States, struggling against
dreadful odds to free itself of the
curse Of Negro-phobism Byrnes
and Talmadge and Company
would foist upon it.
Don't Sell South Short
1t would be a mistake to allow
some of its unfortunate represen-
tatives to sell the South short
It's Industrial and commercial op-
portunities, its improving edu-
cational institutions and systems
its rising progressive leadership
its heroic struggles to be free OF
the bondage her prejudiced ele-
ments have imposed upon her, her
improving race relations make the

Hess Writes
Open Letter TO
Mayor Hoyer

An open letter to the Mayor of
Minneapolis asked if he knew that
there was "a mess" in Minneapo-
lis and that there was a constant
violation of the various city or
dinances.
The letter, written by Frank j.
Hess, 49h Glenwood Ave, asks
Mayor Hoyer two questions,
neither Of which is very specific.
Text of the letter:
Honorable Mayor Eric Hoyer
Minneapolis, MINI.
am asking you two questions.
Question No. 1.
Have you ever heard anyone
saying there's a mess in the City
of Minneapolis. If you have not
heard Of it I am telling it to you
Mr.. Hoyer, only a little bit
stronger.
I will say there is a dirty rotten
mess in the City of Minneapolis
and it has been that way for 25
or 80 years. I am asking you,
Mayor Hoyer, why don't you do
something about it?
am asking you to be so kind
and tell the people Of Minneapo-
lis, Minnesota, in the daily press
why don't you do something about
these conditions?
I think the people of Mime
apolis have a perfect right to an
answer on the question I ask you.
Question No. 2:
Mayor Eric Hoyer, City of Min
neapolis, I am asking you, why
don't you enforce all the laws and
ordinances that are written on the
statute books in the city hall?
am telling you right now, Mr..
Hoyer, the ordinances are violated
365 days a year and 366 days in
Leap Year, eight hours a day be-
tween Nicollet Ave. and Henne-
pin on Seventh st.
If you do not believe me I viii
go up there with you any day you
want to go except on Sunday or a
legal holiday.
Now I am asking you, Mayor
Hoyer, why these laws and ordin-
ances have not been enforced
since you became mayor of the
City of Minneapolis?
Signed:

Borifon. Artists
Course, Feb. 4

A great new American baritone,
William Warfield, who win be
making his first appearance here,
will be heard as an attraction on
the Artists Course OF the Univer-
sity OF Minnesota at Northrop
Auditorium Wednesday. Feb. 4,
at $50 p. m.
His program will be a provoca-
tive one with works by Handel,
Bach, Hugo, Wolf, Delibes, De-
busy, Verdi, Giordano and Aaron
COPELAND, as well as a group OF
Negro spirituals.
The voice that had all New
York buzzing after a recital at
Town Hall in 1850 last summer
made new history with a tour in
Europe, especially the zone Of
American occupation in West
Germany. Warfield was the star
of a company presenting George
Gershwin's 'Porgy and Bess."
In between his suspicious de-
but and his last summers success,
Warfield was heard singing 'Ole
Man River in the MGM film YER
sion of Show Boat, numerous re-
citals in this country and a tri-
umphant tour of Australia. He
has been heard with such out
standing orchestras as the San
Francisco, Chicago Symphony,
Rochester Philharmonic, Los An
geles Philharmonic and the Little
Orchestra.
Born In Arkansas, warfield
grew up in Rochester and attended
the Eastman School Of Music
there. He became so fluent In
languages that his four years in
Army service were spent in Mill
tary Intelligence. He also became
master of a wide repertory, rang
ing from 18th century to contem-
porary compositions, from opera
and CRATIC to Lieder, spirituals
and lighter music.

South and If they can sit tight, a
larger future is in the offing. The
tide of the brotherhood and full
fledged citizenship cannot be in
definitely stayed. The pressing
question for Negroes everywhere,
and for the whites, too, for that
matter, is not as in generations
past, whether, but when will these
things be?
Newspapers have it that fOun-
datiOn headed by Jimmy Byrnes is
being set up to publicize the
SOuth's point of view on matters
of national concern. The fact that
Byrnes Is to head the foundation
advertises I'm advance what con-
Germ the founders Of the fOUnda-
tiOn have In mind. 1t is n concern
for eternalizing the subjugatiOn Of
Negroes.
The proposed foundation will at
tempt to sell the South's way of
thinking on the color question and
the world already knows too well
what that point Of view is. Till
man, Vardaman, Hoke Smith,
Tom Watson, Hefflin, and Bilbo
have advertised the South's point
Of view far more effectively than
Jimmy Byrnes, Talmadge and
company can ever do.
The nation already knows this
point Of view too well and is on
the eve Of repudIating 1t. The
South wishes currently to forget
the ugly episodes enacted by the
NegrOphobes Of yesteryear and
face the finer South of tomorrow
led by men like Ralph McGill, FL
lis Arnold, Mark Ethridge and
JOsephus Daniels, who are facing
the rising sun Of moral advance.
The proposed Southern Founda-
ton could easily become the
mouthpiece of a glorified Ku Klux
Kanism with no higher purpose
than proving that the South is
justified in segregating Negroes
and shackling them in their race
for full -fledged citizenship. Well
may the Greensboro, N. c. Daily
News inquire into whose point of
view is to be publicized, that Of
the Old South or that of the New
South?
II there were even doubts as to
which South is to be represented
by the Southern Foundation, ser
ious students would not be con-
cerned; but with Jimmy Byrnes
at its head there need be no
doubt about the designs Of the
foundation. It viii be essentially
an instrument Of white suprem-
acy directed to the justification
of the indignities and discrimina-
tions and recriminations directed
toward the Negroes of the ma
ton, North and South.

Culled Test cuse
BY A. J. sIGGINs
AFRICAN UPR0AR.

by a. Js SANaNAANo
AFRICAN UPRoAR:
London-(ANP)--Again I re-
peat, the trial Of Jomo Kenyatta
is a test case for British justice.
The attempts Of White Supre-
macists In South, Central and
East Africa, backed by two sue
cessive British governments and
by U.S.A. to dominate many times
their numbers Of Africans have
produced violent and very power
ful reactions In Africa.
The villagers as well as the in
teligentsia, are uniting In the at
tempts Of all Africans, from the
Mediterranean TO the Cape, to re-
sist the imposition OF white supre-
macy rule upon them without their
consent by trickery in high places.
Jomo Kenyatta's trial is being
conducted against a turbulent
background of violence: fear
haunts the lives OF white settlers
as well as KilSuyu natives. Murders
Of Europeans and Africans by
Mau Mau are answered by killings
OF Africans by women, making
headlines like those of an old
frontier story. There are hunts
by police dogs, police and auxi-
liaries, soldiers, tanks and air
craft for Msu Mau men.
The whole colony is in an up
roar. Thousands Of domestic SER
wants, farm lAborers and others
have fled into the bush and many
white settlers are short OF labor.
There are at present In Kenya
10000 troops. police, auxiliaries
and others engaged in hunting
down Mau Mau adherents. These
are assisted by white humber"
volunteers tanks and aircraft.
Groups of white settlers are de-
manding martial law. Others are
demanding that the government
shall be fired and that Africans
and Asians shall be given more
representation. But not too much.
The general opinion on the spot
is that the situation has deterior-
ated and that force cannot be sub
stituted for justice. There Ia COM
ing TO many white settlers In
Kenya a realization that until
Asians and Africans get a fair
deal in Africa there win be no
security for anybody, white, black
or brown.
Kenyatta's trial has been post
poned because his chief counsel,
ID. N. Pritt, objected TO the Of
ficlal interpreter, DR.. Lealkey, a
well known local archaeologist,
born and Kenya and speaks the
Kikuyu language.
DR.. Leakey was mis-interpre-
ting what Witnesses said, accord
ing to Pritt, and he wrote a book
against the clients he was defend
ing. So the court was adjourned
until another interpreter was
flown out from Britain.
