Handy Chart for Fruit Canning
(See Recipes Below)
Fruitful Canning
Of all the canning you can do this
season, it is the canning of fruits
which will pay
the biggest divi
dends. 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.

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.”

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

The NAACP has arranged to have
an amendment offered on the House
floor prohibiting discrimination when
