Freeze Permits For Television Stations Freeze Applications For New Stations Washington. Sept. 30 — (UP) — The federal communication commission today froze all pending ap Heat lons for television stations. Chairman Wayne Coy of the FCC made the announcement at a news conference. He said the freeze will remain n effect long enough for the commission to decide whether certain changes should be made In engineering standards required for television broadcasting. He indicated the freeze probably will last at least six months. Coy said the present freeze orler does not indicate an Immediate i Jecision by the commission wheth■r to switch television broadcasting from Its present 12-channel fre-i tuency to the ultra-high frequency-->and, where more chnnels wouldbe available. i It was emphasized that the present "freeze" does not apply to construction permits already grant'd for new television stations or o stations already on the air. It tpplles only to new applications, to applications already made which have been set for hearing, and to - applications on which hearings have been held, but no final decision rendered. In response to a question. Coy Indicated that any possible revisions in television engineering standard* "will not affect present sets one hit." | Homemaking Tips by Anna K.

Let's keep a few for Halloween. 1 store some In a warm, dry place for fall and winter meals and can some for next spring Well matured pumpkins or squash may be kept in the basement near the furnace until late in the winter. The storage room should be dry and warm. (50-60 *F), Secure a pressure canner before a tempting to can squash or pumpkin. Steam pressure canning is the only method recoininended for nonadd vegetables and meats. The pressure canner not only is safer than the boiling water bath but It saves much lime; in the case of pumpkin hours. Pumpkin and winter squash are ) trea-ed the same wsv In -->•>"(•>- \fter washing, seeding and ing the pumpsin or squasn, cut it into one Inch cubes. Add just enough water to cover and bring to a boll. Hack hot cubes to onehalf inch of top of jar. Cover with hot cooking liquid, still leaving one half inch space at top of jar. Ad-

one-half teaspoon of salt to pints or one teaspoon to quarts. Adjust jar lids and process In pressure canner at 10 pounds pressure. Quart jars require 90 minutes in pressure canner while pint jars need only 55 minuies. As wsm as jars are removed from canner. complete seals if closures are not of self sealing type. . For mashed pumpkin or squash follow the same procedure with one exception, steam the cubes until tender, aliout 25 minutes, mash with che potato masher or put through j sieve.
