Mrs. Pearce Gives
Valuable Advice on
Meat Canning
} (By LELA T. PEARCE)
Now that hog killing time is
• here the home makers are busy
| with their meat. In doing their
meat canning they are reminded
by their home agent to follow
very closely the directions and I
suggestions made in Mrs. Cor
! nelia C. Morris' leaflet on "Can-!
ning Meats." Mrs. Lila T. Pearce.
home agent, calls special atten
tion to the use of steam pressure:
; cookers in meat canning. She
says that the pressure cooker is
the only safe way to can meat
and that in meat canning 't
should always be used. Othe.- i
methods are not safe.
Suggestions are listed below
for your convenience:
1. Select fresh, clean meat
and discard surplus fat. Chill
pork 2 hours and beef 48 hours
before canning.
2. Meat for canning may be
packed into jars either raw or;
partially cooked. The process
ing time will be the same in
either case but it will take the raw
meat longer to reach the desired
1 pressure.
3. Precooking may be done by
searing the meat in the fat by
partially roasting it or by par
boiling. Meat to be canned should
jnot be cooked more than half'
beforfc cooking.
4. meat into pieces con
venient size for packing and pack
j loosely into hot sterilized jars,
j Arrange the pieces to allow the
heat to penetrate. This applies
to both seared and raw meats.
Salt is added in the same propor
tion to all meats. Two level tea
spoonsful to each quart. Pepper
may be added sparingly if de
sired.
5. Sausage, liver and fried
chicken should be packed dry.
All other precooked meats should
be covered with broth or with di
luted pan gravy to improve flav
or. Leave one half inch head
space to prevent loss of liquid.
6. Do hot add liquid to meat
which is packed raw as the pro
cessing Will draw out enough li
quid to coyer the product.
7. Wipe off the rim of jars to
rem are grease. Grease causes
the rabbet rings to disintegrate.
Adjust thi jar tops or caps and
partially seal to permit exhaust
ing. PI fee jars in the pressure
cooker immediately and process.
8. Prqeess both cooked and raw
| meats Q0 minutes at 15 pounds
pressure.

LET AMERICA DECLARE WAR ON GER
MANY NOW-PUT THE NATION ON A WAR
TIME BASIS, SPEEDING UP PLANES ONE
HUNDRED PER CENT—REMEMBER THE
SAD FATE OF INNOCENCE AND
APPEASEMENT
The United States should immediately DE
CLARE WAR ON GERMANY.
j
Does this suggestion jar you? It should help
to mitigate the greater jar impending as a result
of this nation's APPALLING SLOWNESS in
preparing against the menace of the German.
This advice will be heeded only by those intelli
gent Americans who know that this nation is al
ready at war with Germany and has been at war
with Germany for months.
Why should we not have the honesty and the
courage that is needed in America's greatest cri
sis—the courage of Geo. Washington, Andrew
Jackson, Stonewall Jackson, Theodore Roose-,
velt, Grover Cleveland?
Let the declaration of war be followed by full
wartime production and intensive use of all
ithings in this nation which will be required at
! last if the monster Hitler is defeated. Instead of
| a promise of 50,000 war planes by 1942, let ut=
have 100,000 war planes before the end of 1941.
We boast of what we can do in 1942-3. This
pride appears to be based on COMPLETE INNO
CENCE—-predicated on the childish assumption
that Hitler will sit still with his armaments and
make no increase of his power until we get to a
place where our production equals his.
, Whatever we may call Hitler, let us ritot delude
ourselves with the idea tfiat he is a fool. What
do you suppose—when his production now is
more than England's and America's put togeth
er—what do you suppose he will do with all the
industrial plants of Europe in his hands —what
cto you suppose he will be doing while we are
waiting for 2 or 3 more years to pass?
Why a declaration of war?
Because this step of this powerful nation would
be dynamic in Europe and Asia. Russia—fearful
of Hitler and intensely jealous of his depreda
tions in the Balkans—would at once mobilize
against the Axis, Turkey would dare the Huns
to cross her border, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria
would enlist themselves without fear on the side
of America, England and Russia, while as the
people of England rallied in their agony and hope
lessness, all the slave nations on whose necks the
iron heel of Germany rests, would institute re
bellions. Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Nether -
lands, Norway, Denmark, Belgium. There you
l ave the consequences of the expressed determi
nation of the United States to see this hell
through with her multi-billions of gold and food,
of steel and oil and manpower.
our boys across?—No, not necessarily.
Europe does not need men, Europe needs MEN'S
EQUIPMENT. But send our industrial power
across escorted by battleships.
Spain would rebel against the Axis, all the
South Americans would bristle with resistance
against pirates of Europe who would conquer
tree-born men and women, reducing them to
vassalage.
Let America declare war on Germany at once
The moral effect must electrify the world with
Ihope in this beautiful but sad Christmastide,
when only the outlo pear* as of blood and
tears and destruction >x all things that democra
rr r and Christian civilization and freedom hold
I ost dear.

When Lon Sisk lived on his
farm at Lawsonville, there was a
rabbit of very large size that
constantly ate his turnips, cao
bages and apples and which
could run so fast that no dog in
that country was ever able to
1
keep in sight of him.
The rabbit when chased, al
i
ways took refuge in a deep ho'.e
under a rock, a hole so deep that
no twisting or smoking ever
reached Dim.
Mr. Sisk says he heard of 1
hound over in Patrick that had
never failed to catch anything
that he went after, and so he
|
went over in Virginia and bought
I the dog for $4.00 and brought it
jhome to catch that rabbit.
A day or two after the arrival
I of the hound, Lon took it out for
I
a try. The dog soon struck the
! trail of the big fast rabbit and
. the race started. The dog was
! pushing the rabbit pretty close
until the rabbit saw the running
qualities of the hound, and began
to speed up. The two animals
went around a large circle about
half a mile in circumference,
j around and around. As the rab
bit would pass Lon close
.'every time the circuit was made.
Lon tried to shoot it but the
long-eared runner travelled so
fast he couldn't get a bead and
finally he stopped trying to get
a shot and just stood looking on.
Every few seconds the runners
passed, and Lon could see that
the rabbit was rapidly gaining,
and that the dog was no match
for the rabbit in running, and
that every time the rabbit pass
ed the hole where he usually
took refuge from hunters, he
would not go in but kept on run
ning as if to aggravate the dog.
Lon says finally the rabbit had
got so far ahead and around the
circle that actually he was be
hind the dog, and that at last
when pushing the dog very close,
the dog actually ran in the rab
bit's hole and that the rabbit
stopped at the entrance of the
hole and barked like a dog that
had treed his game.
Lon was so surprised at this
1 unusual situation that he would
not or could not shoot and when
he went close to where the rab
bit stood barking at the hole, the
rabbit actually wagged its short
tail at him when he spoke.
Mr. Sisk was so nonplussed
and mystified that he shouldered
his gun and went back home
with the rabbit following close
at his heels. And he says that
rabbit remained a pet around the
household for sev»'~>l years, and
that the dog v -ever again
heard from.
