A Sourdough In New England
 By CARRIE McLAIN

E. McLAlN pretty town on Nantucket Sound, with cute little inlets or bays just as one sees in pictures. There are a number of colonial homes and Inns in this area and any number of places selling antiques. Many of the homes have colorful shutters-red, blue, yellow, black and conventional green. Many motels are making their advent here, which are preferred by vacationists to the old homes that made a business of renting a room or two and thereby helping to pay the taxes. We saw the large, old shingled home of Joseph C. Lincoln, writ CT of stories only about Cape Cod, and who died about ten years ago.
 Visits Home Of Poet
 John Greenleaf Whittier
 It was with regret that I left South Dennis for Boston and, on to Haverhill. It was a satis- faction to continue to see the the quaint winding streets and colonial type of homes. MT. Me Cormick, his wife and two little boys were at the railroad sta tion to meet me, at Haverhill, a town known for it's shoe fac tories. St. James Cathedral is one of it's imposing structures of red brick. Haverhill is pret- tily located with winding streets and good deal of uphill. We had one nice day to drive to drive to Salisbury and Hamp- ton Beach and follow the New England coastline We also passed the poet, John Greenleaf Whit tiers home, where the country like surroundings must have been great help to his poetic in- spirations.
 The following day, I expec- ted a visit from Dagny Brevig Nimmo, from Kennebunkport, Maine, where Dagny and her hus- band had resort for tourists and vacationists. Dagny's ia tn e r Rev. Brevig founded the Teller Mission in 1894 across Port Clarence Bay from Teller. It had started to snow when Dag ny arrived; just a proper setting for two old-timers. After not seeing each other for 37 years, we had much to talk about, especial ly about Teller.
 The most pleasant surprise oc- cured the next evening when MT. Mccormack brought us to the home of his daughter-in-law, the Edward Parkers in Grove land, close to Haverhill. This is an old colonial home built in 1638 that had been carefully preserved by each succeeding generation for posterity. This home is very large with only half of it wired for electricity and heated, the rest remains as in the colonial days. A large wooden beam extends through the center of the house which makes one wonder how it could be handled in those early days. Off from a sitting room, with the old fireplace a grand-father's clock and many old rockers, sits a room that was used at the birth of each child. Then, came a small dining room with a dear little brick fireplace with and irons fashioned like Hessian soldiers, that the colonists (chew- ing tobacco) would spat on. The iron tongs, shovel and candel- abra were wrought in clever

parlor we had to view by candle light. There were the beautiful velvet and satin settees and a huge high-boy of tiger maple, one drawer holding foreign dolls, mostly Italian made and repre- senting such walks of life as a lawyer and teachers. Sheraton card tables held relics from for eign lands. A round table and chairs were of applewood and the lamp with a shade of Norwich glass seemed to have me be- witched
 Lovely porcelain sat on the mantle-piece above the fireplace, that I gave only. a cursory glance. The kitchen still has the original cup-boards in use. The pantry is one mass of old time dishes and pewter-wear. The old firepire-place with brick oven still stands, with candle molds on the mantle-piece, and shovel tongs and kettle, standing un- touched.
 We went up the stairway with the vestibule having one of those beautiful front doors with the fan-like glass at the top. A large picture of some ancestor hangs on each side. There are eight bedrooms, six of which had fire-places. Here were the heavy mahogany bureaus and sleigh" beds of ashe. Chairs for the children were low with wick CT seats and china-ware water pitchers, basins and slop-jars of lovely pattern stood about. On the wall, hung the bed-warmers, with their long handles.
 There was a secret room with in this house that had it's air shaft leading into one of the vast brick chimneys. This room was resorted to in case of an Indian attack and opened into an under ground tunnel. There was also a courtroom inaccessible to the rest of the home that was used by the circuit judge when he came here by horseback.
 All I lacked was enough time to make a more thorough visit of this most interesting of colon ial homes, and with this I said, goodbye" to New England and it's old colonial background.

reach Providence, R. l. from old Saybrook, Conn. and it was ever a bit of wonderment to me how close the towns are on the At lantic Seaboard, compared to ours in Alaska. The whole New Eng land states could fit in a corner of our territory It took two hours by bus to get to Hyannis, Mass. and a matter of half hour by car to South Dennis. Neat cottages and homes dotted all this portion of Cape Cod, flat as the terrain appears. It was good to see Mrs. Ella Chapman at the bus station eager to get me to her Cape Cod home.
 Colonial Homes Built
 In l7th enturY
 South Dennis is strictly a resi- dential town and one of the five that comprise the precinct of -West-North Dennis and Dennispor Mrs. Chapman's home lies in this atmosphere of old colonial homes, many of them built in the 17th century. Her home contains much of the an tiques brought up from the old homesite in Maryland, and re- mains a delightful vacation spot for Mary-hood and Sarah, daugh- ters of Mrs. Chapman.
 The next day we drove along the south side of Cape Cod, and later the north side where one can see ProvincetoWn in the dis tance where the Pilgrims first landed and not appreciating the sand dunes, remained there about three weeks before sailing to Plymouth less than eighty miles up the coast. Cape Cod is re- garded as an arm and hand with South Dennis located in the crook of the arm.
 The Congregational church here though the original building of colonial days has been altered inside and contains one of the two oldest pipe organs, a Snitz- Ter, in the U. s. and has Blash- fields original mural, "The Ado ration" on one wall, so strikingly beautiful you can't keep your eyes off of it. The large chan delier consists of hanging lamps" with shades or globes of Nor wich glass (electric). On the rear wall of the church are two plaques in memory of the sea- captains who lived in South Dennis. There are well over a hundred names forty of which are Nickerson, the first one com ing to South Dennis in 1889.
 Again we sit in the pews painted white, so straight and hard, that one couldn't fall asleep during a lengthy sermon if he wanted to. A nearby cemetery contains head-stones dated since 1700.
 Driving through East Dennis we saw the new Methodist Church. The old one had to come down and some woman left S100,000 for a new one but it had to be built of stone. In order to fulfill the terms of her will and comply with the colon ial aspect of the old church, con- crete blocks were constructed on the inside and lumber on the outside, which was painted the conventional white.
 I had the pleasure of meeting a Mrs. Rice and her spinster sis ter, Anna Nickerson, the last of branch or the Nickerson sea captains, who told me the last of forty captains, passed away last January. Anna Nickerson has one of the old homes which is delight for any antique q Ter. The old petit-pOint

PREPARING VEGETABLES g. FRUITS FOR

Young tender fresh vegetables are better for canning than
those which are overripe. AS a rule, vegetables are best II
canned Immediately after picking, since flavor decreases upon
standing and often detracting color changes take place. Don't
use bruised vegetables, because spoilage organisms grow
more rapidly on bruised vegetables than on unblemished ones.
All vegetables are precooked before they are canned,
When vegetables are precooked in water some OF their nu-.
trients dissolve in the water; SC whenever possible, use the
precooking water as the liquid to cover the vegetables after
they are packed in containers. However a few vegetables
such as turnips, green's, and kale make the cooking water
bitter, so do not use the cooking water in these cases.
Leave one-inch headspace when canning starchy vegetables,
peas, shelled beans, or corn. One-half inch headspace is suf-
fcient for all other vegetables.
Although fruit has better color, shape and flavor when
it is canned with sugar, it may be canned unsWeetened II
desired. Sugar is used for flavor. It is not used in high enough
concentrations to act as a preventative. Fill the jars TO the
shoulder with the fruit and then add boiling liquid to within
one-half inch of the top Of the Jar. The liquid may be syrup,
fruit Juice or plain water. When no sugar is used, best results
ere obtained with varieties of fruits which yield enough juice
to cover them in the containers. Fruits that do not have SUI
fcent Juice must be covered with boiling water after they
have been packed.
The amount of sugar desirable to use in preparing syrups
will depend upon the tartness of the fruit and on preference
for amount of sWeetenjng.
