Not only are fruits a good source of vita mins and miner als, but they will enable you to save hundreds of points this year as they did last year. Since rationing began, fruits have always carried a high ration value, and yet, they are essential and con venient to serve for breakfast, luncheon and dinner. Fruits may be canned with or without sugar, but the fruit will mellow and ripen in the jars much more satisfactorily if a sugar syrup is used. With syrups plentiful, part, usually half, of it is sweetened with a light or dark corn syrup. Honey may be substituted for one-half the sugar, also. It will darken the fruit and give it a some what stronger flavor, but it is good. Only fruits that are good in flavor, uniformly ripened and firm in tex ture should find their way to the jar. Just as it is true of any other canning and preserving, you get only what you put into the can. Can ning is designed for preserving the fruit, not for improving poor quality produce. When large fruits such as peaches, pears or apples are canned, they require peeling and should be placed in brine (2 teaspoons salt to 1 quart of water) to prevent them from turning dark while peeling. The open kettle method for can ning fruit has been a favorite among homemakers for ranny generations because it gives such attractive results. However, the hot water bath has found many users be cause the danger of spoilage is re duced to a mini mum and the ap pearance of the fruit still retains its shape, flavor and texture. On the table, time is also given for process ing in the pressure cooker if one is available, but it is not essential for fruit canning as it is for vegetable preserving. Syrup Making Guide. Thin syrups for fruit canning will be most popular this year because LYNN SAYS Fruit Canning Tips: Fruit sometimes discolors at the top of the jar if the fruit is under-ripe or when accurate processing time or temperature is not maintained. Discoloration of the top layers of the fruit is caused by oxidation which means that air has not been expelled from the jar by the heat of processing. If food is packed too solidly or jars filled to overflowing instead of to within a half inch of the top, some of the liquid may boil out of the jars during process ing. Canning powders and preserva tives are not necessary in the I canning procedure of the sugar shortage. For this type, use 1 cup sugar to 3 cups water. Heat the sugar and liquid together until sugar is dissolved and syrup is boiling. Or, use Vz cup corn syrup (light or dark) or Vz cup honey with % cup sugar. Medium type syrup is good for most fruits and berries, but it re quires a little more sugar. The pro portion is 2 cups water to 1 cup sug ar, or half corn syrup or honey and half of the amount in sugar. In past years, peaches and pears and some of the other fruits have always been canned with a thick syrup—1 cup water to 1 cup sugar. Don’t feel that you cannot can if the sugar doesn’t reach around for this type of syrup. A thin or medium syrup can do the job. Packing Jars. Fruits, berries and tomatoes (which are considered a fruit for canning purposes) are delicate in texture and high in juice content. They should be packed solidly in the jar to prevent undue shrinkage and consequent “empty” appear ance after processing. Precooking of the fruit is suggested because it shrinks the fruit or berry and en ables you to get more in the jar. It takes a littlg bit longer to can by precooking, but the results are worth the effort. Jars should be filled to within V2. inch of the top. If tightly packed up to this point, fruit and berries will rarely float after processing, and the jars will have a much nicer appear ance because they are full of fruit. Make sure the rims of the jars are not chipped as this will prevent a perfect seal. It’s a good idea, too, to wipe the rims after the fruit and syrup are added so that no parti cles of food or juice stick to them to prevent them from sealing properly. Making a Hot Water Bath. A water bath canner may be made from a wash boiler or any other large deep vessel that has a close fitting cover and is deep enough to permit the jars to stand upright and still have enough water to come an inch or two above the jars. This water should be kept boiling during the entire processing period. It should never be allowed to boil away enough to come less than 1 inch above the jars. If nec essary have a kettle of boiling wa ter on the range, beside the water bath, to replenish the supply in the canner. A rack which will hold the jars inch from the bottom of the kettle is also essential. The jars should be set wide enough apart to allow for free circulation of water. How do you count processing time? As soon as the water starts boiling briskly around the filled jars is the rule. The times given on the above ta ble are tested and accurate. Set _ the clock with an alarm, if neces sary, and do not try to whittle it down. As soon as the processing period is up, remove the jars anr place on several thicknesses of clo;! or newspaper in a place free fron drafts and allow to cool. Then store in a cool, dry place. The jars shoulr be set far enough apart to allow fo: ! free circulation of air to bring them to room temperature as quickly as possible. Released bv Western Newspaper Union.

Wins Interracial Award i Hollywood, Calif.—Warner Bros, earned the Interracial Film anc Radio Guild’s Franklin Delano Roosevelt Award, given each year to “the studio having contributed the most toward universal under standing through the medium of the motion pictures,” receiving the citation at the organization’s Unity Awards Assembly, attended by four thousand at the Shrine Audi torium in Los Angeles. Alan Hale received the honor in behalf of Executive Producer Jack L. Warner, from Charles Dennis, Liberian secretary of state, who flew from the San Francisco Con ference for the occasion. In his speech of acceptance, Hale stated: “I think I’m being very accurate in saying that for a long while ) Warner Bros, has recognized the overwhelming responsibiliay in cumbent upon those who make mo ! tion pictures, influencing as their product does, the minds and lives of untold millions throughout the world. i “We believe this responsibility | is first to entertain — yes. But more than that. It is the respon sibility to reflect and give encour agement to that common yearning of all men to be respected and un derstood by their brothers of other nations, colors, and creeds.” Bette Davis was also honored “for her outstanding work toward interracial harmony.” Appearing in a simple untrimmed black dress, the famous star stat ed: To fail to rally to the struggle for the dignity of man, which in the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, can be guaranteed only ‘through eternal vigilance,’ in my estimation would be to fail to jus tify one’s existance. “Ours is the responsibility, not only to heal the horrible wounds inflicted through the furtherance of man’s gieed and intolerance — but to inspire men toward brother hood, one to another.” Others receiving awards were: Unity trophies: Lena Horne, for outstanding achievement; Ukrai nian Films, for production of “The Rainbow;” Miguel C.

NAACP HITS ELIMINATION OF SCHOOL LUNCH BILL Washington, D. C.—The Washing ton Bureau NAACP denounced the House Agriculture Committee this week for eliminating all provisions prohibiting discrimination against Negro children in the allocation of funds for the $50,000,000 School Lunch Bill. Congressman John W. Flannagan, Jr. (Dem., Va.), chairman of the Agriculture Committee, introduced a bill May 7 (H. R. 3143) which would have authorized $100,000,000 to provide lunches for children at tending public and non-public schools. The original Flannagan bill, while recognizing that the states should control education, provided that: “No funds made available pursuant to this title shall be paid or disbursed to any state or school if, in carrying out its fuctions under this title, it makes any discrimination because of race, creed, color or national origin schools or with respect to a state of children or between types of which maintains separate schools for minority and for majority races, it j discriminates between such schools t on this account.” The provision in cluded also an allocation for $3,000, 000 for school lunches in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska. After extensive hearings on the bill, the Agriculture Committee, which is heavily loaded with South erners, went into executive sesion to rewrite the new bill (H. R. 3370), which reduced the amount for school lunches to $50,000,000, eliminated all protection against discrimination for children of minority racial, and religious groups, and reduced school lunch funds for the children of the Virgin Islands, and other American possessions from $3,000,000 to $1,500,000. Tenning the Committee's action “a snak blow to minority groups,” Les lie Perry of the Washington Bureau, said, “this may .prove the undoing of an otherwise constructive piece of legislation. Not only do free school lunches improve the general health of children,” Perry said, “but they also result in higher scholarship grades and greater school attend ance. Under the bill an estimated $11,000,000 would go to Southern states, he pointed out, "and unless a strong anti-discrimination clause is written into the measure, Negro chil dren will not have a ghost of a chance to share in it.” For the past 10 years school lunches have been provided for on an emergency year-to-year basis through an earmarked appropriation to the Department of Agriculture. The pending bill would make school lunches a permanent governmental r"A , ^>;v' fjfifi Ife^W * "v"" ^ 'J * - BLENDED WHISKEY 86 proof. 60% grain neutral spirit*.

Wagner praised the Association’s stand for ! immediate enactment of Full Em ployment Bill No. 380 and promised action on the measure as soon as possible. In his message to NAACP Secre tary Walter White, Senator Murray said, “It is exceedingly encouraging to know that your group is so active ly aware of the necessity for affirma I tive Federal action to assure sus t a i n e d employment opportunities after the war for all who are willing and able to work.” Senator Wagner promised, “as SDOnsor of this legislation I will do my best to have the bill enacted in ; the near future.
