this humane work regardless of

traditions of their service.
The president of the Internation-
Red Cross has sent a message
to the member societies telling of
Ihe work in Spain. Arrangements
for the use of relief funds *from
Ihe various Red Cross societies,
fere made in Spain by Dr. Mercel
Junod as representative of the in-
rnational committee. Going first
Barcelona, Dr. Junod there dis
cussed the matter with the Cata
lonian government and regional
)ranch of the Spanish Red Cross,
le then went to Madrid and
nadc agreements both with the
Spanish Red Cross and the gov
ernment of the republic. After re-
sporting to Geneva, Dr. Junod next
jvisited the junta of the rebel party
[at Burgos, with which he conclud
ed similar agreements. While at

attend the conference. Sibley also
plans an extended airplane tour of
the principal So.uth American coun
tries and capitals.
All the reports that come into
Washington indicate that the Latin-
American peoples and their gov
ernments have shaken off the fear
of aggressions on the part of the
“Colossus of the North.” This was
a fear mainly fostered by self-
seeking politicians of a type now
rapidly losing influence in the
southern continent. At presest the
road is clearer than it has ever
been for such a Pan-American un
derstanding, if not alliance. Such
as has been the dream of far-see
ing statesmen for many years.
That European Tangle
It is no secret that the whole
problem of foreign relations is one
which is giving the Administration
more concern than almost any
domestic question.
The State Department is inchned
to feel that the civil war in Spam
may result in precipitating general
pAiropean hostilities, since both
^Mussolini and Hitler have an
nounced their recognition of the
rebels under the leadership of Gen.
Frapco as the de facto government
of Spain and Great Britain has an
nounced that it will resist any at
tempt on the part of the rebels to
interfere with British commerce in
Spanish ports. ■ ■ , r
The rebellion in Spain is deti-
nitely a fascist movement, to set
UP a government of the same dic
tatorial type as those of Italy and
Germany, v/hile the existing go-v
eminent of Spain is distinctly Com
munistic and has the backing of
Soviet Russia.
It is not difficult to imagine a
situation developing which would
bring about a general European
w^ar. In that event, Americas po
sition of neutrality would be m-
creasingly dif_ficult to maintain
especially if England and France
were involved.
The appointment of Joseph t-
Davies as Ambassador to Russia is
looked upon here as an mportaJ
move on the diplomatic chessboard

HIGHLANDS CLUB
The home demonstration depart
ment of the Satula club has taken
for its project for the year, “Com
munity Recreation,” Members of
the Sati, a club, have offered the
use of their club rooms for a
recreation center. It is hoped that
a well rounded program of recrea
tion can be worked out. The va
rious organizations in Highlands are
being asked to assist with the
work. A committee composed of
representatives of the organizations
will meet Friday night to draw up
plans for the project.
The regular meeting of the home
demonstration department will 'be
held at the club rooms Friday
afternoon at 2 o’clock. At this time
Mrs. Carl Slagle will give a demon
stration in weaving. Demonstrations
in knitting and block printing will
also be given. Any person inter
ested in these subjects is invited
to attend, w'hether or not she may
be a member of either organiza
tion.
MEAT CANNING
This is the tim^e of year when
most of our canning of meat is
done. The following directions, if
followed, may aid farm women to
put up a better product.
The state department does not
recommend canning meat without
a pressure cooker, ihe processing
time for meats, if a water bath is
used, is three hours with the water
boiling hard all the time and cov
ering the tops of the jars. Anyone
using this method does so on her
own responsibility.
sharp knives, good jars, new rub
bers.
Meat should be healthy and in
good fat but not too much fat.
Keep animals 24 hours without food
before slaughtering. Give them
plenty of water. Handle gently be
fore killing as an excited animal
will not bleed well.
Do not bruise meat. Hang meat
while bleeding. Chill thoroughly.
Chill chickens 6-12 hours. Chill
pork 24 hours. Chill beef 48 hours.
Do not freez'e meat.
Keep meat clean. Cut meat in
thin pieces. Cut across grain. Cut
loast with grain so it can be
sliced across the grain.
Examine liver to see that it is
healthy. Remove arteries, soak liv
er 45 miiiutes.
When .using glass jarS meat can
be either hot packed or cold pack
ed. The processing time will be 60
minutes in either cas'e but it wdll
take longer for the cold pack to
reach the desired pressure.
When frying meat use beef suet.
Pork will not require any additio.n-
al fat for frying.
Pack meat perpendicularly in jar.
Do not fill jar too full. Leave one-
hald inch head space as this pre
vents loss of liquid. Juioe will be
lost if jar is too full.
Adjust rubber and top and par
tially seal.
Sausage, liver and fried chicken
should be packed dry. Use a wet
pack for other products as flavor
is lost in dry packs unless a me
chanical vacuum^ is used.
Line jars with meat, hill center
with scrappy pieces.
Select good animals for cold
pack as liquid will congeal better.
All n.n.t ronereal. If
down, it indicates a type of spoil-
age. , c
Process meats 60 minutes at n
lbs. pressure. Process fish 90 min
utes at. 10 lbs. pressure.
Use steam pressure canner only.
Oven, hot water, and other meth
ods not approved for meat canning.
When canning in tin do not use
cold pack as the temperature of
meat packed in tin should be 1/U
degrees F. before sealing to in
sure a good vacuum.
Use plain tin cans for meats.
Vent cookers 7 minutes to insure
steam pressure rather than air
pressure.
