until all traces are removed.
Soaking is not recommended be-
cause of probable loss of food val
ue. Remember that cooking will
destroy many types of bacteria
but it will not destroy spray chem
icals. Careful washing is the only
answer
Bumper crops of fruits and veg
etables bring low prices and fur
nish a good reason for home can
ming. Fruits and tomatoes may be
satisfactorily canned by the use
of the hot water bath. Non-acid
vegetables and meats must be
canned at higher temperatures
that can be obtained only by the
steam pressure Gamer. Agriculture
extension agents furnish free in
formation to the public on ap-
proved methods of home canning.
Oven canning is not recommended
for several reasons including the
fact that it is especially hazardous
in regard to burns.
Store home canned foods in
cool, dark place and examine them
periodically for signs of spoilage
A tin can with a swelled top OF
bottom or dented seams should be
discarded.
Watch foods canned in glass for
the presence of foam or milkiness
of the liquid If either is present
the food is spoiled, and should
be removed from the shelves i'm
mediately
In addition to constant care al
home to keep fresh and canned
foods safely stored, bear in mind
that thoughtful buying always pays
not only in dollars and cents,
but in satisfaction, pleasure and
good healt. And remember!
good rule to follow is: when in
don't throw il out!"

No little errandS or other shop
ping trips should be done after
grocery shopping, for good food
may start to spoil while on the
way home.
Keep the home refrigerator be-
low As degrees F. A refrigerator
thermometer costs little and is a
great help in being sure that FOODS
are kept at safe temperatures
Move it to different parts of the
refrigerator to determine the best
storage place for the different
types of food.
Store and use food with regard
for keeping qualities. Safety is a
first consideration, but it is also
very important to keep the food
value and the flavor. Wrap meats
loosely and store at 38 degrees F.
The best place for meats in most
refrigerators is just below the
freezing unit Use ground meats
such as hamburger within "a hours
Liver and other variety meats
should be eaten within days, and
fresh meat cuts and cold cuts with
in or 8 days. Fresh pork should
be used within 2 or 3 DAYS, but
cured ham and bacon may be kept
from 7 to 10 days without losing
quality or flavor Cured pork is
safe from spoilage for several
weeks if kept at % degrees F.
Limit home storage of fresh
fish to "a hours and of dressed
poultry to 2 or 3 days. Keep the
fish at 80 degrees F. and the poui-
try at 35 degrees.
Eggs may be kept several weeks
at AZ degrees f., but will lose
much in quality and flavor if
stored longer than one week.
Fluid milk should be used within
3 or days.
Summer time is picnic time for
the family and the food for these
delightful outings should be care
fully planned for keeping quail
ties as well as for flavor and ease
of serving Refrigeration should
be provided for cold cuts, chicken
or fish salads, potato salad, and
egg dishes. Foods should be eaten
promptly after serving, and left
overs used later only if they car
be Immediately returned to safe
storage.
Vegetables and fruits offer an.
othre source of possible trouble
because of the presence of resi-
dues of sprays used by producers.
While most of the spray chemi-
Gals are not dangerous, some may
be. The best way to avoid this
hazard is to wash all fruits and
vegetables throughly as soon as
they are unpacked from the market
basket. After this carefully ex-
anime the fruit around the stems
and the vegetables at the base of
the leaves for the presence of
white or grayish powder. If this

FOOD SAFETY URGED DURING
HOT WEATHER BY EXPERTS

"Home Sweet Home" is not mucf
safer in summer than in winter
True, when the Thermometer
hangs around 80 degrees F., there:
little need to worry about slipping
on icy steps or the improper
venting of heaters, but the ever
watchful homemaker must turn
her attention to other matters, ii
she is to see her family safely
through the season of hammocks,
electric fans, and backyard picnics,
A problem that deserves her
daily attention is the saftey of the
food she serves to the family.
While this is not minor matter
at any time, it becomes more inn
portant in hot weather, because
the bacteria that cause food spoil
age grow very rapidly in high
temperatures. Food spoilage al
ways results in waste, and much
more serious may result in the
illness of family members or
guests.
For the consumer. attention to
food safety begins in the selec-
tion of a market that has a repu-
tation for quality foods and clean
illness. The alert housewife SHES
away from the meat and dairy
foods refrigerated counter that
has drops of moisture on the in
side of the glass, for she knows
this is a sign that the temperature
Of the food may have been
raised to the danger point. She a
voids buying pies or custard-filled
pasteries unless they are refriger-
ated. She observes the appearance
and habits of the butcher and
chooses market where the peo-
pie who handle food look abso-
lutely clean and avoid contact with
the food products as much as pos
sible.
1t is good precaution to inspect
meats and seafoods at the time
of purchase. Danger signals for
the presence of an "off" odor or
a Shiny feeling. Do not buy
dressed poultry if the wing tips
are darkened, or if there is
sickness under the wings or sec
ond joints. Cold cuts should be re-
jected for "off" odor or sickness
to touch. Fish have begun to spoil
If the eyes are sunken or the gills
greenish in appearance. Shrimp or
other seafoods are spoiled if they
have an ''off odor similar to a
mmonia.
In the better markets, frozen
meats and seafoods are kept at
very low temperatures in a com
partment separate from other fro
zen foods.
Buying quality food in a good
state of preservation is only the
first step in home safety. The food
shopper must see that foods are
taken home Immediately and that
easily perishable foods are pro-
perly stored as soon as possible.

Make Your 
 Safe X Sane
AP Newsfeatures

You can enjoy your Christmas to the fullest if you'll just observe a few safety precautions, advises the National Safety Council. Here are their suggestions to help make your Yuletide safer and saner:
 l. If you plan a home party and want to use candles on your table, be sure that the centerpiece is not made of Christmas greens. These become very dry in a hot room and may be ignited quickly by the tiniest spark.
 2. When buying decorating mat erials make sure they are flame proof. Avoid using candles near decorations. Provide plenty of ash trays so that guests will find them easily available. String decorations near the ceiling or place them well above the guests heads.
 3. Set the tree where it does not obstruct an exit from the room, and away from fireplace or strong heat. Keep it in water from the time you bring it home. Make a fresh saw cut across the trunk base before setting it up. Place tree in water containing holder. Fill it daily. Remove dry tree from the premises inn mediately after the holidays.
 4. A blown fuse may be the sig nal that the tree is overloaded dangerously with lights. Be sure fuses are right size, and don't use a penny in the fuse socket. Don't use lighted candles on the tree.
 5. When hanging tree ornaments stand on Q sturdy stool or ladder. Wear loW-heeled shoes.
 s. Buy safe toys for your young sters. Select washable playthings colored with non-poinsonous dye or paint. See that playthings are sturdy so they will not come apart leaving jagged edges. Check eyes, buttons, and beads on dolls to make sure they cannot come off and be swallowed by a curious youngster.

Photo Christmas Cards
Should Be Made Now
" Alexander J. Wedderburn
curofor Of Photography
The Smithsonian institution

After the cards are thor
oughly fixed they should be
moved into the wash and left
there long enough to rid them
OF traces of the hypo. This is
important for many people
will wish to keep the cards for
bath.
The next job is to dry and
straighten the cards. The
cards should be placed be-
tween blotters or in a blotter
roll and left until thoroughly
dry. To Straighten, moisten
the backs of the cards slight
ly with a sponge or Wad OF
cotton; then place them under
weights and allow to dry for
the second time.
From here all you need do is
place the cards in their en-
velopes. address and mail. In
this respect we had better
mention the adviSability Of
getting the envelopes before
printing the cards. Otherwise
you may find it difficult to
find an envelope to fit the
card.
One other word of advice:
Be sure to use double-weight
paper for your photo-greeting
cards. Single-weight paper has
a nasty tendency to curl when
wet, is hard to f1atten even
when dry and cracks easily.
