Duchess Attends Memorial Service Held In Little Parish Church Near Home of The Kents The Duchess of Kent, heavily velled, attended a memorial sor- vice for her husband at the little parish church of Iver near which the Kents lived. The Duke was killed two weeks ago In a plane erash in north Scotland / while bound for Iceland on active ser. vice with the RAF. */ The church was crowded with villagers, The Duchess sat in the chancel close to tho altar and showed deep distress when the bishop of Buckingham, who con ducted the service, said: "Let us humbly remember before God His Royal [Highness George Edward Alexander Edmund, the Kent, and all those who died with him." At the request of the Ducless, this was the only reference to her husband during the short service, The Duchess chose the hymn "On the Resurrection Morning" to be / sung and the 23rd psalm to be read.

O'BRIEN MURDER IN FERRY COMMAND CHAPTER 1 In the bleak Newfoundland pre- dawn, swirling snow slashed and" bit at the huddled group of of- ficial witnesses awaiting the exe- cution of Lemoy Statler. It was the morning of December 6, 1941, Over the rim of the high stone --fence--surrounding- the --penitenti- ary jail yard, the witnesses could sce the lightening outline of Quidividi Lake. To their rear, house lights were winking into the murkiness to join the lonely street lamps of St, John's, From the Atlantic wastes three miles to the east moaned a melancholy, salty wind, "Dammit!" snapped one of the shivering figures, "Why don't they bring him out and get it over with?" "Aw relax!" rasped another. "If the poor beggar isn't in a hurry why should we be?" The door into the jail yard opened. Framed in the light was a uni- formed man with a- broom. He half ran to the portable scaffold erected close to the jail wall and hurriedly began sweeping the steps leading up to the trap door. "Very thoughtful," commented a witness, "it would be. tough if Statler slipped and sprained an ankle on his way up. ..." Sudden silence fell as a group of dark figures surrounding a coatless man with opened « collar appeared in the doorway. The "AM. FROCK" IS NEAT AND TRIM x swizhing of the broom on the scaf- fold steps took on an exaggerated sound, : Quickly the procession was formed outside the door. The jail chaplain was praying "in a low, flat montone. Tall members of the Newfoundland Constabulary fell in_on-.cither side of the con- demned man, Immediately behind him was a plumpish, red-faced man -wearing a cap--a Canadian hangman imported for Newfound- land's first hanging in decades, Three officials completed the pro- cession. As they mounted the steps, two muffled figures stepped through the door and stood in the shadow of the scaffold. As one held up a match to the other's cigaret, their faces were revealed in the flare, One was a distinguished looking, white-haired man in his sixties, the other a bronzed, hand- some man in his middle thirties. "Ghastly business, Dawson," the first one growled. "Wish the plane from England had been de- layed. This would have been something I'd rather have missed, You chaps in the Intelligence De- "partment get hardened, I suppose, but..." "But never that hard, Sir Fred- erick," interrupted Clyde Dawson, "In fact, this business hurts me more than you can imagine. You seo . .

"Tell me," asked Sir Frederick, "how did he act at the last?" "That's curious," Dawson com- mented. "The Federal Bureau of Investigation at Washington was also interested in that point. Statler was icy nerve itself. I secured permission to sit out the night with him inthe death-cell in the hope that he would drop some clew.

CHAMBERS THE FRUIT SEASON 1S HERE These are the days when our local fruits are ripening and when we should take advantage of their deliciousness by canning some for the winter months which are to come, The subject of canning is such a broad one that it is impossible to treat each method properly in such a emall space, " Briefly the following are the best methods: . Preparation: All fruit should be picked carefully. and then pre- pared according to type. Large fruits should be cut in pieces and if dry and pulpy, such as apples and pears, should be covered with water before simmering until ten- der. Small juicy fruits require no water. " Open Kettle Canning: If fruit is moderately aeid and very juicy use no water but cover with sugar and let stand over night. In the morning cook until tender with as little stirring as possible, Fruits less juicy should be covered with a sugar syrup and cooked until" tender. Hot -Pack: Fruit is prepared as above but cooked for a shorter: length of time. Pour into hot sterilized jars to within about % inch of the top. Adjust rubber rings (dipped in boiling water), cover with sterilized top seal and leave jar ring partly screwed (if spring top is used do not adjust second spring). Place jars in rack in the kettle; cover well with water at same temperature as jars and bring to a boil. Boil for. fe- quired time and be sure that the jars do not touch each other. If this process is done in the oven have a carefully controlled tem- perature of 275 degrees. Re- move from water bath, tighten and seal. Invert jars while cool- ing to test leaks. If using steam _ pressure cooker follow directions given by manufacturer. | Cold Pack Canning: Pack fruit into jars (sterilized) to within one inch of the top. Place fruit and sugar in alternate layers in proportion to the desired syrup. (Thin syrup 3% cup sugar to 1 of fruit and heavy syrup, 1 cup' sugar to 1 of fruit), Cover with cold water until overflowing, Ad- just rubbers and tops as for hot pack. Place on rack and cook slowly as in the hot pack method. "Jams and Conserves: Measure - fruit and cover witli enough water to simmer until tender. Add warmed sugar providing 3% cup to one cup of fruit... Continue to simmer until- thick, stirring frequently. Skim. Turn into sterilized jars and cover at once with a thin layer of hot paraffin. When..cool.apply-another-layer-of-- paraffin to assure perfect seal- ing. Jellies: Select fruits that are- not dead ripe. Clean and cook until very tender. Pour into a scalded jelly bag and allow to - drip into a scalded container. Do not squeeze the bag. Heat juice to boiling point and simmer ten to twenty minutes. Add warmed sugar allowing 3% cup of sugar to one of juice. Stir over heat until sugar dissolves. Boil gently (skimming as necessary) until a __few drops 'of the solution "scts" _when_tested in cold water, Jellies With Pectin: Fruits such as blueberries and raspberries re--- quire the addition of pectin to make them jell. The best advice for these fruits is to adhere strict- ly to directions given with Pectin or any similar commercial pre- parations. Miss Chambers welcomes personal letters from Intérested readers.
