Nancy Moore, University of Illinois home economist, has had numerous requests for information about traditional home canning recipes, and she first points out particular problems to home canners. Old recipes may be difficult to follow because of vagueness in measuring directions. They also frequently call for open- kettle preparation, a method no longer recommended for home canning, especially for low add foods. Mrs. Moore also reminds homemakers that tastes have changed, and older recipes are often highly seasoned. However, 3 old-time recipes are still quite popular, very tasty, and a lot of fun, she said. They can be recommended because they are nicely suited to today's canning methods. She feels homemakers everywhere will enjoy the simplicity of these recipes, and the tasty product that results.

Grandma Sez • • • It's a wonder me ol' roc kin' chair doesn't give up th' ghost an' jist fall apart, these days, wi' all th' roc kin' this granny's a doin', a frettin' about so many things a goin' on in th' world now-a-days. Seems like a body don't have a minute's peace, anymore, along wi' th' high cost o' livin', t' top off th' worries. There's a trend, seemin'ly, toward effort t' correct a lot 0' th' mistakes that've gotten us in this pass, an' it does this ol' heart a lot 0' good t' think there's good folk, a tryin't' git us back on th' right track. There's one thing I hop t' see, afore it's time t' put away me knittin', an' that's a better world f'r our younguns t' cope wi'. We git jist one chance at life on this lovely planet, jist once t' enjoy all th' good things, which th' good Lord pervides, an' it seems a pity that. mankind hasn't learned, in all these generations, t' live in harmony wi' one another. Seems as though, man's intelligence ought t' be able t, come up wi' better idees t' permote harmonious relations among nations, 'stead o' buildin' newer an' better in­ struments t' destroy each other. It's positively amazin', th' things we've seen materialize, from th' brain 0' mankind, in th' last century, things me grandparents could ne'er visualize. This grandma can't d'cide whether it's good 'r bad f'r th' human race, that so many things ha' come t' pass, that make it easier f'r folks t' b'come more oriented t' In August there is something different in store for McHenry County Audubon society members and guest^. The group will meet for an evening of food and fun starting with a cookout and, as dusk falls, an owl hoot will begin through Beck's Woods Conservation area in search of that elusive bird. Screech owls and great- horned owls are easily lured into view with some help from tapes with authentic owl calls and members who are ex­ cellent mimics. There is always hope a barred owl, a long-eared or short- eared owl will be heard and spotted. And there is always the unexpected when W&lking through woods at night. Soon the late fall and winter months will be here and during that time the McHenry County Audubon society will sponsor several indoor programs which are open to the public. The August program is also open to those interested and offers the to hear and see t prefers the out­ doors of nighttime. The owlhoot begins at dusk, the cookout at 5 p.m. with charcoal and grills provided. Bring utensils, food for each group and a dish to If one cannot attend the cookout, they are welcome to join the owlhoot and take a walk through Beck's woods and the newly acquired Con­ servation area across the Piscasaw river. Beck's Woods Conservation area is located in Chemung: take Rt. 173 west from Harvard through Chemung to Pagles road. Add a new dimension to nightlife and Join the McHenry County Audubon Aug. IS.

Seems like each generation develops a greater aversion t' hard labor. The reasonin' o' this elder is, there's not a livin' creature on th' face o' this earth, that doesn't work, in order t' feed, so it seems reasonable that it was th' way it was intended. Wi' so much waywardness, among th' young, these days, it 'ppears t' this ol' lady, th' younguns need t' learn how t' use th' sweat o' th' brow, brought on wi' effort at hard work, t' ward off youthful frustrations. Grandma Radtke DINNER-FESTIVAL St. Patrick's church in HarUand is having its annual homecoming dinner and festival Sunday, Aug. 14.

There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) Tight Body And Clenched Teeth Q. I have always gritted my teeth but the last few years it seems like I clench them together all night. Talk about miserable when I wake up! My body feels real tight too. There just has to be an answer to this somewhere. I'm 30 years old and at the point of asking where do I begin getting over this? A. While a dentist and doctor might give you proper advice for your trouble, it seems quite obvious that you are suffering from tension and frustration. These two problems are taking it out on you in the form of teeth gritting and body tension. Our advice is to give your mind a healing spiritual treatment, for physical ailments sometimes result from unhealthy thinking. One way to do that is to study the Bible for statements about peace of mind. Then memorize them, allowing them to soak into your consciousness. A Bible passage mentioned in our booklet, YOU CAN RELAX, may be helpful. It is "My peace I give unto you" (John 14<27). A copy of the booklet is on its way to you. Anyone reading this column who wishes a free copy may write for one. Address your request to Dr. and Mrs. Peale, Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12564. Worried That He'll Find Someone Else Q. My problem is very hard. I feel I'm in love with this wonderful guy. He's 24 years old. We've never had a chance to date so I'm not sure how he feels about me. Lately he went to California, and I've been depressed and worried he'll fall in love with someone else before he and I get a chance to find out how we feel about each other. Another guy I know (we're good freinds) told my cousin he ^amata WBat should I do? Fa*? i A. The faet that the young man in questid|̂ jiili moved to California and that you will not have an opportunity to be with him may mean that he is not the one for vou v Since another good friend desires to take you out, it would seem the better part of wisdom to go out with him and with others. Dees He Love Her Or Her Daughter? Q. I've met a man who wants me to marry him. I love him very much. I've been divorced and he has too. This man comes to my house, says he wants to marry me, but teases my 15-year-old daughter instead of me. I want to know for sure if he loves me, but he never tells me he does. Can you tell me how to know that he really loves me, or is he just pretending? A. For some reason, certain men cannot articulate love. But there are ways of measuring this man's feelings: his desire to be with you, his respect for you, the consideration with which he treats you, the fact that he told you he wants to marry you. Even the teasing of your daughter, aged 15, may mean that he would be a loving father to her. Don't make the mistake of being jealous of your young daughter and thereby misjudge this man. Just be normal and happy about it all and you will know what is the best thing to do. (Perhaps you would like to find an answer for yourself to a problem that you can share with others in THERE'S AN ANSWER! If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12564.)
