Proper Methods for Home Canning The “open kettle" method and the “oven" method of home can ning cannot be depended on to kill harmful bacteria in food, sav can ning specialists in the Department of Agriculture, and in addition oven canning has cause! serious ac cidents when jars explode. The specialists recommend that fruits, tomatoes, and pickled vegetables be precooked and packed boiling hot in hot jars, with lids adjusted correctly, then processed in a boil ing water bath calmer with sufl'i-, cient water to cover the jars. Peas, beans and other non-acid vege tables should be packed in the same way, but processed in a steam j pressure calmer. Some of the 400, 000 new steam press ire canners ultiorized by WrPB 1 the iati ning season are now available in certain areas in the South and others should be available through i the country before long. Many community food preservation cen tos provide local home canners with equipment and supervised in structions on proper canning.

Fuel Will Be Scarce Thi« Winter All fuel — coal, oil, gas and j WOO(|—will he scarce this coming winter, the Solid Fuels Admini-| stration for War says. There will, he a deficit of about XX million 1 tons of coal. Consumers should j oilier their coal now, during thej summer season, and store whatever] kind the dealer recommends. I Householders using fuel oil should | order their supply as soon as their new ration coupon become valid— probably’, within the next month. By filling consumers’ fuel orders early, dealers will be able to re-fill their own oil tanks or coal stock piles and thus add to the total storage capicity of the rationed area for use later in the winter. The Solid Fuels Administrator urges all fuel users to help con serve fuel next winter by weather stripping, insulating and getting heating equipment in good shape now during the summer Round-Up The United States Employment Service placed more than 74,000 veterans of the current war in civilian jobs during February and March . . .

Under the new ouota, Com mander Neelv said, a maximum number of only 100 youths will be accepted weekly for at least the next three weeks. The quota was set by the Bureau of Naval Per sonnel but no indication was giv.en as to whether the restriction would extend beyond the three-week per “Although the usual number of weekly enlistments exceeds the limit now placed upon the North Carolina district, we have no al ternative but to pare our list of ac ceptable boys,” Commander Neely said. •‘Those who are nearing their eighteenth birthdays, at which time they will have to register with selective service and thus come under draft regulations, should see their Navy recruiter immedi ately.
