Crain in "World Call.” At no point is modern war more disastrous ! and deadly than in its effects upon children, i Child specialists, from the head of the Children’s Bureau down to the local social worker, are be- I coming alarmed over conditions that ag^rajaid ly developing among out children as a result , of war conditions. Up to a few months ago social workers con- | gratulated themselves that delinquency among youngei dhildierPwas on the *iecrrease*^fhei/ greatest problem was with boys and girls of middle and later adolescence. But the tide has turned. In a recent article in Commonsense, re produced in the May Reader's Digest Eleanor Lake tells the sordid stor yof 13-. 14- and 15-vear old girls caught up in the mad whirl of war psychology. She reports that in one new Pub lic Health center for the treatment of vener eal disease four-fifths of the inmates are girls in their icons. In another many are between 12 and 15. In a Chicago cleanup for vice resorts 18 girls were picked up—all under 18 years old and all but two infected. Dr. Janet Nelson of the USO declares that girls of 14, 15 and 16 are paying the biggest price today. In Little Rock a citizens’ commit tee watched the bus stations, hotel lobbies, tav erns, streets and near-by highways for two weeks and counted 600 young girls loitering in stations and hotels, drinking in taverns or wan dering down dark streets. At a bus station they found 23 girls under 17 waiting to pick up serv ice men and girls of 14 and 15 seeking hotel rooms with soldiers as late as 2 a. m. Similar stories come from almost every city where large numbers of men in uniform are stationed or where they go for week-end leaves. It is altogether too simple an explanation to lay the biame upon the men in the armed serv ices. As Kipling said, “Single men in barracks don't grow into plaster saints,” but they are not .,^TOan,i. rot years tut ” has been losing its moral authority. Many par ents have almost completely abdicated their re . ., ... , .... .. i , den of responsbilitv has fallen on the mother. In many cases the mother is taking advantage of the demand for workers to add to the family earnings, leaving the children either to the care of relatives, incapable servants or to the tender mercies of the streets. Where one or both par ents work on the night shift the hazard is great ly increased. Miss Lake tells of Warren Township, a suburb of Detroit, where many children go to school on an afternoon shift and are sent out to wan der the streets at night so they will sleep late in the morning and not disturb their night-work ing parents. What will it profit us to win a war for democ racy and human decency if those for whom we win it are not fit to use these boons and hand them down to others? There is a home-front, bat tle to be won. It begins within the circle of the family where virtue, self-control and personal righteousness must be taught. There must, be a revival of the sense of responsibility in the home. Aroused parents must demand that the com munity clean up hs sink holes of vice and in iquity. Police power is effective when wisely u: ed Easy-going-, • tolerant citizens who permit liquor, gambling and vice to flourish are per mitting the very foundations of life to be eat en away. The church, too, has a heavy responsibility. The nation waits for a thunderous voice from the pulpit, reaching the very heart of the na tion, demanding righteousness and condemning our easy acquiescence in the demoralization of the liquor traffic, the gambling habit, and im moral vice resorts. If the next generation of America is to be fit to be saved it is time that something be done about conditions that are rapidly destroying the integrity of our chil dren. Soldiers Versus The Zool Suiters Just what the World War is all about may not be quite clear, but the fight carried on by serv ice men against zoot suiters is well understood. HOUSING PROBLEM LICKER War Housing is catching up with war plant expansion in the Hampton Roads area in Virginia and now the government is putting on an inten sive recruitment campaign to bring 8.500 badly needed workers into Norfolk’s vital shipyards to bring them to all out production. Some 9.000 new housing units are immed iately available, with thousands of others nearing completion Workers from this state and county who sign up for civilian jobs will find houses available like those pictured in top photo, which are a part of Broad Creek village and winch rent from $27.50 to $32 a month. At right, is shown the highly modern kitchen of one of the hornet;. Miss Freitag, recruiting represen* talive of the Fourth Regional Office, will be at the post office in William stim next Tuesday and Wednesday and in Kobersonville on June 17 and 18 to interview interested workers. //£ 4 WATCH THIS PAPER FOR FURTHER TIMELY TIPS ON CAN NING FROM TOUR VICTORY GARDEN AND COCA, FOOD SURPLUSES. CLIP THEM FOR READY REFERENCE. GLASSING IS THE MOST FAVORED ME I HOD cf storing foods rich in vitamins, and minerals, such as tomatoes, fruits and their juices, peas, beans, asparagus, greens and many others. There are two groups of foods to work with: one is known as the Acid Foods which are tomatoes, fruits, pickled beets and rhubarb. The others are Non-Acid fcods, and include al! other vegetables, meats and poultry. The Acid Foods are preferably processed in a boil ing water bath with water boiling vigorously. NON-ACID FOODS for a greater degree of safety should be processed in a Steam Pressure Canner. However, with few Pressure Canners available, much glassing may have to be dene in Boiling Water Bath Canners. Regardless of how you process your foods, it is important to remember this: ALL HOME PROCESSED MEATS AND VEGETABLES SHOULD BF. BOILED AT LEAST 15 MINUTES IN AN OPEN PAN BEFORE TASTING OR SERVING. TO USE A BOILING WATER BATH CANNER successfully, fill it with water to cover toos of jars by one or two inches. (In lesson 3, we discussed im provising a water bath canner with reels, from a lard can, wash boiier, or other deep metal contain ers.) The hot-pack filled |ars are lowered care fully info water as near as possible to same temper ature in jars and placed so they do not touch each other. Cover container and bring water quickly to rolling boil. Not until water boils is processing time counted. Water must be kept at vigorous boil the entire time. If it evaporates too rapidly add boiling water to keep jars covered. At end of all processing periods, remove jars carefully, one at a time, and place hot |ars on folded cloth or newspaper, aw«, from d.afie until casid CO NOT invert j/>ks. • - U1"J WHEN YOU USE A PRESSURE CANNER get out tn® manufacturer's directions and follow them closely. There are a few standard directions ap plicable to all canners: add enough boiling water to bring it at least 2 Inches above the bottom of canner. Always use a rack to hold filled jars. Put on cover, fasten securely. Leave petcock open until steam has escaped freely 7 to 10 minute:. Close petcock and bring the temperature up on full heat until correct steam pressure is reached, then start counting the time. Do not rely on your memory— refer to your timetable, mark’the computed time on a piece of paper, then fasten it on the handle o: the canner and remain in the kitchen to keep heat adjusted correctly and prevent fluctuation of pressure. When tiqne Is up, remove canner from heat and do not place on a cold metai surface, i e* pressure drop to zero beff’O opening petcoc*. Then remove cover by tilting sj steam is kept away from your face. Wipe inside of cover immediately with fresh clean doth and place on newspaper or padded cloth. NEVER open a Pressure Canner until the gauge registers zero. Never wash cover and do not let it drop on floor. many MFW TYPES OF METAL CAPS, rim bands, giass tops and rubber bands will be used tins year, so it is wise to ALWAYS SEAL JARS ACCORD ING TO MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS. New caps, if self-sealing metal discs, and new rub ber bands, must be used each season. OVEN PROCESSING may be done only in fully insulated ovens equipped with reliable hect con tre's. Procedure directions are available by re cj-'-ct, from our Home Service Department. THE PROCESSING METHOD YOU USE will de pend upon the product and rhe equipment avail able. Since the production of Pressure Cenners has been restricted, it is important that ail home PCfwure canner* be.used $<* ht&si cajr.arty. There are many pressure canners in attics, etc., which have not been used these last tew years. If you own a Pressure Canner, work out a partnership p*an by which you and your neighbors may share the work and equipment. These ere days when it is patriotic to share!
