MACHINERY FOR
EUROPEAN PEACE
Germany Will Be Reduced to
Nation of Farms and Peaceful
Industries Under Terms of
Potsdam Agreement; New
Borders Assigned to Poland
Washington ? The 3ig Three Fri
day night set up the mechanism (or
great powers to write the peace of
stricken Europe and extract repara
tions from a guilty Germany forced
to devote its energies to agriculture

But on the great questjon in the
minds of people the wond over ?
will Russia help smash Japan? ? &
6,000-word communique on the
Potsdam conference was silent.
Hint To Japs s
It concluded, however, with a
single succinct sentence which may
be expected to receive uneasy scruti
ny from Japan's warlords:
"During the conference there
were meetings between the chiefs of
staff of the three governments on
military matters of common inter
est."
Issued simultaneously in London,
Moscow and Washington, the com
munique was approved by Prime
Minister Attlee, Premier Stalin and
?President Truman.
Appraising their work in the heart
of a once powerful enemy state,
they spoke of "important decisions
and agreements," of strengthened
ties, of a "renewed confidence that
their governments and people, to
gether with the other united nations,
will ensure the creation of a just
and enduring peace."
Major Results of Conference
Specifically, they are:
1. Established a permanent coun
cil of foreign ministers of the three
powers and those of France and
China. The council was assigned to
"continue the necessary work for
the peace settlement."
2. Promised that the writing of a
peace treaty with Italy shall be the
first task of the council; after the
treaty is concluded the Big Three
will seek to get Italy into the united
nations.
Blackball Franco Spain

lengthy, historic document which
was not amplified was the reference
to consideration of military matters.

State College Hints
To Farm Homemakera
By RUTH CURRANT
(N. C. State Collet*)
To do a first-rate job of home can
ning, can freshness. Capture an^j
hold all possible flavor, color and
food values of the fresh vegetables
or fruit. Home canning specialists
who stress this point offer the fol
lowing tips to home canners who
want to keep their canned foods
from being on the dull, droopy,
tasteless, and vitaminless side:
Put up only firm, ripe fruit;
young tender vegetables. No can
ning magic exists which can bring
old tough beets or snap beans back
to youth again. Neither will can
ning improve hard green fruit, nor
bruised or overripe fruit or toma
toes. In fact, a little damaged food
can cause spoilage of a whole can
nining batch.
Work quickly. Call on the men
and children in the family, if ne
cessary, for many hands make fast
work of getting produce from gar
den to canner. When foods must
wait, they wilt and toughen, and
vitamins and fresh flavors disap
pear. If foods must^jbe held awhile,
keep them cool and well ventilated.
Count canning time accurately.
Allow the full time advised for pro
cessing, and then lose no time in re
moving jars of fruits or tomatoes
from the boiling water bath. With
a pressure canner, used for canning
non-acid vegetables, follow careful
ly directions for opening canner,
then take the jars out promptly. To
let jars linger inside the canner gives
them more cooking than needed.
Store immediately after canning
in a cool dark place. Warmth and
light tend to increase the loss of
vitamins, and color as well.
Use during the current year. Long
er storage is not unsafe, if foods are
properly canned, scalded airtight,
and stored well. But canned foods
decrease in quality and food value as
time goes on.
Deep rooted plants are important
in enriching the surface soil. Their
roots draw from the deeper layers
of the soil various plant nutritions,
particularly minerals.
Demand for eggs will remain
strong well into 1946, and will con
tinue to exceed supplies at least un
til egg production increases sea
sonally beginning next December,
says a Washington report.
