Here Are A Few Ways
To “S-t-r-e-t-c-h-” Your
Sugar For Canning
Add a small amount of sugar
to the fruit’s own juices, instead
of making the usual sugar sirup.
Fv-^'ts naturally contain a great
••.jjBjpf water, and you can make
b^r use of your sugar by sweet
ening this rather than by adding
more water in the form of a sirup.
Heat the slightly sweetened
fruit carefully in a saucepan. This
draws out the juices, shrinks the
fruit, and drives out the air,
making it possible to pack gen
erous amounts of fruits in each
jar. There should be enough juice
to cover the fruit completely.
Honey may be used to replace
up to one-half the sugar called
for in canning, anj corn sirup up
to one-third.
Fruit juices are not provided
for in sugar rationing allowances,
but they may be bottled or put up
in jars with little or no sugar.

FLAGS AT ROTARY
At today’s luncheon of the Ro
tary club of Tryon there was a
showing of a complete set of'=the
flags of our allies, made by Tryon
women as a gift to the town. Chas.
J. Lynch, chairman of our Civilian
Defense committee, added a beauti
ful Stars and Stripes to the col
lection which he accepted on be
half of Tryon.
President Koosevelt recently
| asked for a nation-wide display of
| our flag on Flag Day, June 14th,
together with the flags of our al
lies wherever possible, and Tryon
is now one of the first—perhaps
the actual first—of American com
munities, large or small, to possess
a complete set. It will be shown
on Flag Day, on Trade street, and
at Future exercises by patriotic
groups, white or colored, on holi
days, at celebrations, etc.
The complicated work of enlarg
ing these flags to scale from small
colored prints, matching the col
ors, and sewing them together
i partly by hand and partly by
machine, has been a community
efort of Tryon women as a pa
riotic undertaking. It is thought
that many other American commu
nities may be glad to follow Try
on’s example in this matter.
Appropriate music for the oc
casion was provided by the club’s
Music committee.
Mr. Lynch’s remarks in accept
ing the collection, completed the
exercises.—Contributed.
