Miss Chisholm. stayed with friends in England, but she did have experience with hotels and found food good but monot- onous. "I remember one meal in a Scotch hotel particularly well," she remarked. "It consisted of an extremely small piece of meat, a boiled potato, a roast potato and a helping of fried potatoes." "Living with friends she found that rationing, although stiff, al- lowed quite enough to live on. "Children are well fed and as healthy as any Canadian babies, because most fruit and milk are reserved for them. Butter and meat are perhaps the commodities English people miss most since they recive only one and a half strips of bacon a week and al- most no ham." "Clothes are the biggest prob- lem for English girls,' Miss Chis- holm stated. "Since a suit takes more than half the year's quota of coupons, but in spite of utility materials, they manage to look smart." Shop windows were filled with beautiful merchandise, but usu- ally only on display before ex- porting. However, Nancy Chis- holm noticed that black market coupons made these goods avail- abble to those Who were prepar- ed to pay. "Although shortages of petrol and food prevent many parties, English theatres are packed with gay crowds, amongst which heard nothing but criticism for the Socialist government." Life in Switzerland proved to. be a different proposition, Miss Chisholm found during her two weeks' stay in that country. "Everything was frightfully ex- pensive, but this made no differ- ence to the international crowd of pleasure seekers which gathered there. On seeing a bearded gen- tleman unusually dressed, I was convinced he®must be a foreign duke and was a little disappoint- ed to discover he was merely an American turned arty." BUSINESS DIRECTORY T.

Phone 1375 178 Colborne St. Oakville Advertise Your Atticles For Sale in the Journal' Classifieds The Mixing Bowl Hello Homemakers! Every year We are submerged with queries on canning vegetables. Our space is too limited to describe each of the various methods of process- ing, Sterilizing is successfully done in a pressure canner, there- fore, we emphasize this method. Many homemakers have a pres- sure saucepan which will main- tain the desired pressure, but only two or three jars can be process- ed at one time. As for the pres- sure canner, it will hold six to eight jars but you need a large electric element to provide enough heat., A constant pressure is nec- essary so the canner cannot be set aside for even a minute. To cool the filled utensil by placing' it in water or in a cold place is wrong. It should be left to cool gradually, otherwise, juices will be suctioned from the jars. PRECAUTIONS FOR PROCESS- ING VEGETABLES 1. Buy a new stiff bottle brush, and rubber rings to fit your jars. Examine jars and lids for nicks and cracks as these cannot keep a perfect seal, 2. Scrub sealers thoroughly in hot soapy water. Rinse in chlor- inated water and then in hot drinking water. (Two tablespoons of chloride of lime to about three quarts of water.) 3. Test jars for seal. Half fill with water, put proper sized rub- ber ring and lid in place, seal and invert, (This method does not apply to vacuum-type) If the glass top rocks slightly on the jar, try another one, - 4. Jars may be conveniently sterilized in the oven. Place emp- ty jars with only the glass lid in place on a pan in the oven and heat to 225 degrees using lower element turned on. Place on a dry cloth as each one is being filled. 5. Fresh vegetables should be I gathered and canned the same day--for sure. Pick over and discard any gwith blemishes. 6. Wash in a collander or sieve, plunging them in large quantities of fresh water, 7. Prepare the vegetables as for table cooking, that is, pod peas, string beans, sort spinach, ete. 8. A hot pack method for vege- tables is recommended to set col- our. Covering the vegetables with hot water and bringing to a boil is sufficient for small pieces. Im- mediately (to prevent loss of flavour and vitamins) fill one jar at a time to within half an inch of the top. One half a teaspoon of salt is allowed for each pint, then add some of the hot liquid to fill the jar. Dip the blade of a scalded knife around the inside of the filled sealer to remove air SUMMER DRESS SPECIAL ....SEE THE Lady Catherine Smart in appearance, tight-fitting waist and with the new flounced skirt. . . . $3.95 SPECIAL - --ati-- "Oakville's Own Fashion Centre" THE ROSS STORES Colborne Street pockets and prevent Now seal tightly. Then turn the screw band back the distance of the length of the thumb. With spring-top sealers, fasten large bail' in place, the vacuum sealers should be tightened firmly. 9. A rack or grate should be placed in the pressure canner and the jars arranged an inch apart. Pour about two inches of hot water in and fasten the lid se- curely. 10. The canner should be brought to the desired tempera- ture as quickly as possible. Time the processing period exactly as soon as the pressure is indicated. The electric element may then be switched to medium if pint jars are used. When the processing is finished, move the canner off the hot element and let it cool until there is no hissing sound when you try the petcock at zero. Re- move the cover, tilting it toward you so that the steam escapes in the opposite direction, 11. Lift out the jars with a lifter, complete the seal, screwing metal bands tightly or spring the short bail into place. 12. Place filled sealers on a folded newspaper or board, 3 or 4 inches apart to cool, When cold, carefully invert to test for leak-| age. (The vacuum sealers are tested by tapping with a spoon, which gives a ringing sound if properly sealed.) PRESSURE TIME TABLE For Pint Sealers Asp'gus (10 lbs. pressure) 30 mins. Beans (101bs. pressure) 35 mins. Corn (151bs. pressure) 30 mins. Greens (151s, pressure).55 mins. Peas (101bs. pressure) 45 mins.
