FOR SCHOOL STARTERS Beginning school
is a frightening experience for many young
children. They leave a secure, known environment
for one that is unknown. Starting Monday, August
18 at 5 p.m., on Channel 4, a special week of
"Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" will be devoted to
preparing pre-schoolers for their first day of school.
Emmy Award-winning host Fred Rogers will go
on location to a real school to acquaint pre
schoolers with a typical day. Rogers explores con
cerns they have about school: what teachers and
classmates will be like, how much they will have to
know before they get to school and who will take
care of them there.
"Young children frequently have misconceptions
about what school really is," Rogers says. In the
special week of programming, questions will be
answered and reassurances given.

Buying canning equipment
and getting it together in
the kitchen in proper working
order is only one part of
managing a home canning
operation.
You also need to be
organized when the job is at
hand, say agricultural exten
sion foods and nutrition spe
cialists at North Carolina State
University.
First off, there has to be
enough space cleared in the
kitchen. Use the counter to
good advantage by lining up
all the equipment and plan
ning the most efficient use of
the space, she says.
Then have everything ready
to use. For example, get all
the jars washed and scalded
before you need the sink for
cleaning the food.
If you'll need hot water for
blanching or scalding, have
it ready on the range while
you clean and trim the
produce.
If you will need extra ice
for quick cooling, freeze it'
beforehand. Then have any
containers, packaging ma
terials and labels you need at
the space where you'll use
them.
Everyone in the family can
help, provided appropriate
jobs are assigned and the
kitchen is big enough.
Younger children can help
wash or rough-trim vegetables
and have fun making labels
for the finished products.
Just make sure they're not
in the traffic pattern when
you're handling hot water or
jars.
