Victory on the home-canning front is easily won by those who ut derstand the ruthless nature of the enemies—yeasts, moulds, and bac eria —that sneak into jars of food to cause spoilage. Usually they go into the jar on the food. Decayed spots and crevices or broken places if the of fruits and vegetables serve as their favorite foxholes.
Sometimes they float in on the air and at others steal a ride on a spoon or dirty dish doth. A small battalion is easier to destroy than a large one so the first thing to consider is how to keep a jar of food from being occupied by a huge army of these detestable, microscopic organisms. The soil of the earth, and fruits and vegetables which are stale, or over-ripe, or bruised, or broken, or dirty, or decayed, serve as headquarters for yeasts and moulds and bacteria. That is why sound, strictly fresh, home-grown produce must be chosen for canning. Bacteria, the hardest-to-kill of the enemy group, multiply rapidly in vegetables, such as corn, peas, lima, and other shell-out beans, and are hard to kill once they are established, because the vegetables contain no natural acid to help make it easier for heat to destroy the bacteria. Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director for Ball Brothers Company, gives 13 rules which, if followed in every detail, will insure victory for the home canner all along the line. They are: 1. Use jars made for home-can-ning purposes. All home-canning jars have a name molded in the side. Jars with names or letters on the bottom only are intended as onetrip containers for factory-packed foods. They are made as thin as possible in order to hold down shipping costs. Because of this, their reuse is doubtful economy. 2. Examine every jar, cap, lid.
Red Cross Headquarters

Somewhere in the Southwest Pacific, 11,000 miles from Indianapolis, lies a volcanic island where a little over a year ago the Japs ruled. Soon, our Marines took this malaria-infested island and then our armed forces and medical corps moved in. Today it is a thriving community with three hospitals, 28th Surgical and the 360th Station and 49th General Hospital. It boasts a fine Red Cross field headquarters, with a recreation center where the boys can read, write, play ping pong, baseball and softball and games of all kinds. Miss Marcella Sadlier, 5914 North Meridian street, is field supervisor there. • On this same island are two Indianapolis men, Pvt. Charles Ehrman, 520 North DeQuincy street, and Dr. Hugo K. Thatcher, Jr., 745 West 44th street, whose parents live at 524 North DeQuincy. Pvt. Ehrman has been on this island almost a year. He writes home that the boys are very well satisfied there and are just waiting for the day to be sent home. Their last air raid was the day before Christmas. Pvt. Ehrman was hospitalized for four weeks from injuries to his foot when he

and rubber before using. True, these are inspected before they leave the factory but many things can haiier to them before (and after) tiej reach the home kitchen. 3. Remember that people ’rh< make things know more about then, than anybody else; so use Vrs caps, lids, and rubbers by the menu facturer’s instructions. 4. Unless vegetables grow in your own garden or can be bought trema a grocer who will gather them early in the morning of the day they are to be canned, forget about earning them. Vegetables that have had « night out of the garden are not ir fit condition for canning. 5. Don't expect good results unless the vegetables are right for canning. 6. Every vegetable shoulc be washed clean before its skin is broken. Washing away particles of dust and soil also washes away bact iria, yeasts, and moulds. Green bsans and okra require special after tion because the short thick nap or fuzz on them holds dust The blossom end of okra may hold both dust and insects. 7. All non-acid vegetables should be precooked and packed hot for processing. 8. Vegetables should be packc din jars loosely enough to permit the liquid to circulate between the pieces. Food values are higher v 'hen vegetables are panned with the water in which they were precocred, provided the water is not wasted when the food is used, but the fir vor, and possibly the keeping quali ies,

At present he is in charge of administration at the 49th General Hospital there. He says that they are getting in fine equipment md that the boys are getting the I>est of care. Malaria is now almost extinct, which makes this islmd a very good Hospital base. Let’s Stop the Slaughter of Pedestrians Motorists, Won’t You Assume Responsibility For every pedestrian killed on Indianapolis streets last year, 'wo are being killed this year! That’s right. Police reco ?ds show 30 persons dead in the traffic up to May 1. Fifteen wire intersections. Corner policen en 1943. Three-fourths of the traffic fatalities are pedestrians. Pedestrians are showing a w .11ingness to comply with the 1; w.
of some foods is better when they are canned in fresh boiling water. 9. Vegetables usually have better flavor if a small amount of salt is added at the time of canning, but they keep as well without it 10. Remember that every minute wasted between the steps of preparing, packing, and processing is a minute in which bacteria grow stronger. This is particularly true of the bacteria which cause flatsour. Flat-soured food may look good but tastes bad and often smells that way. Flat-sour can and does begin before processing if the vegetables are stale or over-ripe, or left standing two or three hours in a hot kitchen, or if the food is not cleaned, prepared, and packed right 11. When possible, use a steam pressure cooker for processing all vegetables except tomatoes., and even use it for tomatoes if you like. But the use of a pressure cooker will not guarantee success unless it is in good condition and operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 12. If you have no pressure cooker, process vegetables by boiling in a water-bath canner. Yes, the vegetables will keep if all rules are kept, and they will be safe to eat if they are bailed for fifteen minutes before they are tasted. 13. Never taste canned vegetables, regardless of how processed, until they have been boiled fifteen minutes. There is one type of bacterium that may get into the jar and cause spoilage which is odorless, tasteless, and dangerous. The toxin caused by these bacteria is destroyed by the fifteen minutes boiling. The boiling doesn’t necessarily destroy the bacteria that cause the toxin; so left-over canned vegetables should be reboiled before serving.
Since the SAFETY NOW campaign started, they have improved their habits greatly at downtown intersections. Corner policemen have done a valiant job of helping pedestrians remember “to live and work tomorrow, obey the law today.” Drivers are still showing disregard of pedestrian rights. We call to your attention, MOTORISTS, the following points in the traffic ordinance: 1. The operator of any vehicle or street car shall yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk ... at all places a pedestrian having lawfully started across a street at an intersection shall have the right of way until he has reached the opposite side of the street. 2. Whenever a vehicle has stopped to permit a pedestrian to cross, it is unlawful for another vehicle approaching from the rear to overtake and pass the stopped vehicle. 3. Every pedestrian crossing at any point other than a marked or unmarked crosswalk shall yield the right of way to vehicles . . . but this provision shall not relieve the driver of the vehicle from the duty to exercise due care for the safety of pedestrians. Motorists, watch for children and elderly persons. Watch children on the curb and be ready to apply the brake if they should dart out in the street. Remember that last section of the ordinance. Let’s stop the pedestrian slaughter. Let’s improve Indianapolis’ black safety record. Grandfather: “Nowadays I never see a girl blush. In my day it was different.” Granddaughter: “Why, grandpaw! Whatever did you tell them?”
