A Good Place To Meet , A Better Place To Eat 1 I I NICK'S CAFE I! O RAH AM. N. O. ' ] 1 JAMS CAN BE EASY ON SUGAR! Beautiful but dumb?that'* strawberries! Take away their glorious coloring and what have you? Nothing much but dull, uninteresting lumps, incapable of self support! Strawberries demand sugar just as if it were not rationed and umat upuu iiiuai ui lb ucing grifiu-y la ted. When going into jams or pre serves, they will tolerate the substi tution of com sirup or com sugar for about one-third of the regular sugar called for in the recipe. These pampered pets of the gar den can't stand up and jell without the aid of sugar and pectin. Some of them need lemon juice too. They will not behave right when canned, unless granted more sugar than any other berry wants; then after they ?et. it, they must be petted along or they fade, flatten, and float. According to Qladys Kimbrough. Home Service Director for Ball Brothers Company, glass jar com pany with headquarters at Muncie, Indiana, "Tart strawberries with small core and deep red color throughout are less popular with the general public than the sweet, feather-weight ones, but are far the better for canning and preserv taf." Miss Kimbrough advises home canners to forget about preserves for the duration or until sugar is more plentiful and make up a con slderable amount of )am. Jams are easy on sugar. A good one can be made by using one-half pound sugar and one-third pound of corn sirup to each pound of capped ber ries. Jams need to be cooked a little longer when corn sirup is used. They should be cooked in small batches and stirred often. Berries Without Sugar When one runs out of sugar, ber ries (any kind) may be cleaned, crushed and stewed in their own juice until thick, then canned by processing 10 minutes in a hot-water bath canner. Strawberries, pre-1 pared in this manner have an ugly color but will brighten up to some extent later on when sugar is added and the mixture boiled down to Vic tory jam thickness?meaning not quite so thick as usual. Two cups of sugar are needed for making one quart of crushed berries into jam. Here is a helpful hint. A spoon or two of Juice from these beets you canned won't change t.ie flavor but will help the color of jam made from ea-ncd strawberries. ? ? ?Photo Courtesy Ball Brothers Co. Blueberries, huckleberries, black berries, dewberries, elderberries and many others are far more use ful than strawberries and can beautifully without one speck of su gar. Most of them can best when heated slowly until the juice runs free before they are turned into jars for processing, but blueberries, especially if they are to be used in muffins and the like, are nicer when canned by a recipe we found in the Ball Blue Book. Place two or three quarts clean blueberries in a square of cheese cloth. Hold the cloth by the cor- -j ners and dip into boiling water until spots appear. Then dip quickly in and out of cold water. Pack into hot jars. (Add neither sugar nor liquid.) Process 20 minutes in hot water bath. Wild blackberries have always been a favorite with home canners but the equally useful elderberry is likely to be left to the birds. That when elderberry pie is so wonder ful! Good cooks usually touch jt up with a spoonful of lemon juice or vinegar. We like elderberries and most others best when canned with some sugar, but sugar shortages cer tainly won't stop us if we can beat the birds to the berries. their participation as a part of the Seventh War Loan.

According to < reports from state chairmen reach ing Ted K. Gamble, national di rector of the War Finance Division et the Treasury in Washington, the Nation is ready for the hnge task. Mr. Gamble was enthusiastic about results. He said "We're prepared to do the best Job in the 7th War Loan." Mr. Gamble said that "not only is there more money available thin ever before fat each atate, but Individual in come will be higher in the pe riod of the 7th War Loan than in any previous War Loan pe riod." Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau said UJ11I___ ? t ? even uuuum ui MUKUENTHAU dollars has been assigned as the quota for Individual investors and that the major emphasis throughout the drive will be placed on the quota for individ uals. The individual quota is the highest established in any of the previous drives, the secretary said. The E Bond quota alone is f bil lion. The 7th War Loan seeks near ly as much in the one drive as was asked in the first two drives of last rear which were held up to this Ume. The two drives of this year, therefore, will seek nearly as much 3 was sought in the three drives 1944. The Secretary stated that there is avenr evidence that Federal ex penditures are going to remain at a high level for some time to come, and that the Seventh War Loan pro gram was designed to obtain maxi mum funds necessary to prosecute the War from non-bank investors. The securities, which will be sold under the direction of the State War Finance Committees, are as follows: Series E, F and O Savings Bonds, Series C Savings Notes, 24% Bonds, 14% Bonds. 14% Bonds, 4% Cer tificates of Indebtedness.
