A Sept. 2 wedding is planned. Good wrappings and con­ tainers keep frozen foods from drying out and losing food value, color and flavor. Pat Sullivan, McHenry county Extension adviser, explains that there are two types of packaging materials for freezing: rigid containers and non-rigid packaging materials. Rigid containers include those made of aluminum, glass, plastic or heavily waxed c a r d b o a r d . N o n - r i g i d Eckaging materials include avy aluminum foil, pliofilm, polyethylene and laminated papers and bags. A good freezing container or other packaging material is moisture-vapor-proof to prevent evaporation. Ordinary waxed papers, household aluminum foil, and cartons designed for cottage cheese and ioe cream are not sufficiently moisture-vapor-resistant for foods to be frozen and held for more than a few days. - To prevent "freezer burn" use good-quality freezer packaging materials. Also, it's important to seal the container or package carefully. Rigid containers usually have lids that are pressed on or screwed on. If you use glass jars, seal them with a lid containing a sealing compound or use a lid and a rubber ring. Follow the manufacturers' directions for sealing bags and other packaging materials. For successful home can­ ning, don't underrate the im­ portance of proper containers. Use only perfect jars and new lid tops or rubber rings. Don't use supplies from last year because the rubber or sealing material on the lid edge may have deteriorated during storage. One reason some jars do not seal is that they were never intended for home canning. For instance, jars that originally contained mayonnaise, peanut butter and coffee are not recommended. Although ex­ cellent for their intended use, such jars are not made for reuse. Mrs. Sullivan describes the jars as "off-standard"-the sealing edges may not be level or the mouths are not designed for lids manufactured for home canning. If you use the screw band and separate lid piece, make certain the screw band is not dented or rusted. Miss Sullivan lists these additional causes of sealing failure: -Using jars with nicks or cracks on the sealing surface. -Failing to wipe off particles of food from the sealing edge before placing the lid on the jar. Small particles of food left on ETHICS ACT FILINGS Secretary of State John W. Lewis has issued a reminder that those required to file under the Illinois Ethics Act must do so by July 1. Secretary Lewis said "the reminder is being issued because there have been questions raised as to whether filings were required in view of a Cook County Circuit court ruling April 27 that declared the act unconstitutional. The ruling was appealed to the Illinois Supreme court and that body on May 23 stayed execution and enforcement of the judgement until it can rule on its constitutionality.". "This means,", the Secretary said, "that filings should be made with either the office of Secretary of State or with the county clerk, whichever is appropriate."

A pressure saucepan may be used for home canning low-acid foods in pint jars. Because the pressure saucepan heats and cools faster than a regular pressure canner, it is necessary to add 20 minutes to the time recommended for processing foods in a regular canner. The boiling-water bath method should be used for processing fruits, tomatoes and other acid foods, because boiling water supplies enough heat, without overcooking, to destroy the bacteria, enzymes, molds and yeasts that cause spoilage in acid foods. Any big metal container with a rack on the bottom and a cover can be used. The kettle must be deep enough so that the water level is about two inches over the top of the jars and there is another inch or two to allow for brisk boiling. When processing foods in the boiling-water bath, start to count processing time when the water comes to a vigorous boil.

John street was guest of honor at a restaurant luncheon last week, hosted by cafeteria employees of East and West Campuses. Earlier, she had been recognized by teachers and fellow employees who presented her with a U.S. bond, gift certigiate and other gifts. She also received a humorous drawing containing sketches and notions of mehiorable moments of recent years in the cafeteria. Mrs. May was the only employee remaining who started work at the East campus cafeteria when it opened in January of 1950, a period of twenty-two and a half years. During that time she has not only served thousands of students but also the needs of c o u n t l e s s o r g a n i z a t i o n banquets. The very capable Mrs. May will be missed not only by fellow employees but by the many young people with whom she has become good friends through her work.

GALL ON TREES Each year dozens of McHenry county people stop at my office or telephone to ask about the corky growths that appear on the leaves of trees. The growths are galls and they often appear on oak, maple and hackberry trees. Galls develop where insects or mites feed. Galls don't kill trees, but they do disfigure leaves. There's really no reason to treat trees for gall, but many people still want to. Timing your treatment is the key. Remember, you don't spray the gall. You spray the insect that feeds and causes the gall to form. So you must treat the tree before damage occurs and before you see the corky growth. Malathion gives good control. Use 2 teaspoons per gallon of "water or one quart per 100 gallons water. Spray the tree when buds are swollen but before the leaves emerge. It doesn't take an expert to spend mdney faster than it can be made. PAPER DRIVE Members of the Four Aces 4- H club of Holiday Hills will conduct a paper drive June 23, 24 and 25.
