Washington, D. C.--How important is the average worker's war bond purchases out of his pay every payday in the grand strategy of the Allied High Command? Does the extent of his. or her War Bond allotment have a part in determining when, where and the strength «f our military blows? * Any worker listening in on a recent conversation between General George C. Nlarshall, President Roosevelt's Chief of Staff, ancKSecretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., learned the answers to these questions. Said General Marshall: "Mr. Secretary, I want you to answer a Georje C. Marshall Question for me and to answer it with complete frankness. Can we military leaders plan to fight this war in an orderly way--in the surest and most effective manner-- or must we take extraordinary risks for fear the money will not hold out?" Replied Secretary Morgenthau: . - •" "General, the American public will take ' ifare of that. What they have done in the Second War Loan drive--the money they have produced and the spirit they have shown--is proof enough for me .that they will not let our fighters suffer from lack of support until we achieve complete victory, no matter how long thit may be nor how much it may cost." - V Up your War Bond allotment out of. your ; wages today.

"Corn, a favorite food of man, beast, and bacteria, is the victim of defer.se propaganda and I am not talking about war." Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball Brothers Company, made the above statement and went on to explain, "Person? who refuse to take the time ari trouble to understand corn, defend their canning failures by claiming that it refuses to keep. The truth is, corn is more, than willing to be canned, but is doomed to spoilage unless ri^ht tactics are used, because it has'no acid to protect it against, the invasion of bacteria. Tactics? Why," says Miss Kimbrough, "they can to summed up in one sentence: i. e., lean? what is to he'done, begio at the i right time, keep things "moving, and tjurn on the heat." SPRING GROVE m «> 0 4 4 ) '*WPhoto Courtesy Ball Bros. Co. Hie first thing to be done "is to get jars, lids, rubbers, and canner ready. If you have no pressure cooker, get along with a water-bath canner. Examine ev^ry jar and lid to see that it is in good condition--retnember glass top seals and twopiece metal vacuum seal caps won't •work unless the top edges of the jars are perfect. Wash everything clean; cover jars, glass lids and zinc caps with luke-warm water and put on the stove to heat. Co,ver vacuum seal lids and rubbers with boiling water and leave untih needed. When everything is ready, gather the corn--bring in no more than needed for one canner full. Keep in mind that canning too much too late is a.^ommon cause of spoil- . age. Place the corn on a board and use a strong sharp knife to cut the husks (shucks to you in the Middle West and South) off at each end just where the corn begins and ends. There shouldn't be any worms if you have followed Victory garden directions, but if there are worms in the tassel end, cut deep enough io leave them with the husks. The husks will come off easily and bring most of the silks with them. Examine every ear of corn and use only those having plump, glossy, juice-filled kernels. Remove all silks: rinse the corn and cut it from the cob. One or more cuttings may be made, but scrapings should not be used unless processing can be ~done in a pressure cooker, because the scrapings make a thick mass that heats through slowly. (Jover the corn with boiling water, using about half as much water as corn; cook five minutes; then pour immediately into clean, hot jars. A generous amount of water helps the corn heat through quickly and aids in preventing its sugar from carmelizing and causing a brownish color. Add one teaspoon salt to the quart Jmd seal jars according to manuacturer's directions. Then put into ..the canner and process. If possible, use pint jars, as they heat through more rapidly -- the quicker the jars can be heated through, the more certain the destruction of bacteria. Process pints «nd quarts 70 minutes at 10 pounds pressure or by boiling 3,j2 hours in hot-water bath. Remove the jars from the canner as promptly as possible after processing; finish sealing all jars that require rubber rings, set jars as far apart as dossiWe on folded newspaper or clotp eo they can cool quickly, but be [siflre they are not where a breeze V/U strike them. * The jars should be examined after twelve hours in order to Sake sure they are sealed. To do/this, remove bands from glass/top seals and metal vacuurri seal caps (leave the bands off when the jars are put awavl. Test the .glass top seals bv pulling gently on the lids with the , finger tips. Vacuum seals are tested by 'pressing down pn them with the fingers--if sealed, they won't move under this pressure. "Lightning" type are tested by holding upside down and watching for leaks. There won't be any leaks if instructions are followed "and there won't be any spoilage if you keep in mind that Vigilance means Victory. Furthermore. vou will never know how good canned" corn can be until you have tasted your own home-canned brand.

New York, for example, has been plagued in the past year by a 10 frer cent*increase in crimes against chil-^ dren, and by an alarming spread of " mugging" assaults and murders. A "mugger" (tfie term originated in New York's Harlem) approaches his victim from the rear, crooks an arm around his throat and renders him helpless by a viselike grip on his Adam's apple.

U Colors' BeOecting Values fc| all lighting tests, white is far ahead of other colors in reflecting value. According to scientific experiments, white's reflecting power is between 82 and 89 per cent. Cream rates at 73 to 78 per cent, while ivory comes next in the scale with a percentage of 62 to 80. Then comes light pink at around 66 per cent, yellow at 57 per cent and flesh color at 51 per cent. Buff and light gray also test at 51 per cent, while light green and aluminum gray rate at 45- and 41 per cent, respectively. Lower in the scale come light blue and sage green, with a percentage of 36. Dark,red reflects only 13 per cent of the light that strikes its surface, while dark green and dark blue< soak up all but 9 and 8 per cent of the light that hits them. Black, at the bottom of the list, is rated close to *ero in its reflecting qualities/. off with a knife or gun. Muggings have taken place recently in New York's busy theatrical district, and in dimmed-out subway trains near crowded platforms. ! Prominent Victims. 1, Typical of crimes against children ! ' was the recent murder of unfortunate 12-year-old Martha Punt, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth James, hospital employee. War conditions, which have struck hard at hospitals, compelled Mrs. James to go on night duty. While she was absent one evening Martha vanished. The next morning the child's mutilated body was found in a bedroom in a nearby tenement. She had been criminally assaulted, stabbeck^nd beaten to death. j Such prominent victims as George ' Jean Nathan, author and drama , critic, and Zina Provendie, radio and stage actress, have been victims of dimout crimes in the crowded theater area. Other countries engaged in war-- ' nbtably England--have had the 1 same experience. , Auxiliary police patrols, made up of civilians, are helping in many communities to overcome the shortage of patrolmen due to.enlistments in the armed forces and diversion to guard duties. But crime enforce- i •ment authorities look forward glum- j ly to many another "murder in the'^ dimout" before the problem is final J ly solved. ' Little^ Hen Does Her ^ Bit-as General Waits WITti AMERICAN FORCES AT OUSSELTIA, TUNISIA. - A little black hen outranks the commanding general in an army cook shack near here. The general was sipping a cup of coffee when Pvt. George Neiberger, a Californian, said: "General, do you mind^firuIKlng your coffee outside? Aifnette wants to come in." "Who' is Annette?" asked the surprised officer. "She's my little black hen," Neiberger explained soberly. "Every morning she comes in here and lays me an egg. She usually gets here at 9:30 on tbe dot each morning and finishes up by 10. But she's bashful and won't operate if anyone stays in the cook shack with her." So the general and the private shivered together in the cold wind outside while Annette did her bit fo the American army. Published July 29, 1,943.
