Five hundred orphaned, crippled and homeless children —not in Belginm or France, but right here in our own state " —need immediate help, Con- > necticut’s response to the Red Cross, the Liberty Loan and other worthy appeals has been most gratifying, but mean- while the needs of the state's own children under the care and supervision of this saciety are being overlooked and many more are being deprived of ‘good homes through lack of sufficient funds. - Our letter of June 11th asked for $10,000, which must be ob- tained at once if we are to con- tinue the care of these children for whom we have already as- sumed definite responsibilitics. Only $1,000 has been received, while millions of dollars have gane out of the state for other causes, Our worl is largely depen- dent upon private donations, $9,000 is the amount that is im- mediately required for urgent needs, Have vou done your bit for the children of Connecticut? If not, please do it now. A contribution this day will save us the expense of writing again. Whatever vou give will help. Yours very truly, AUSTIN CHENEY, Chairman.

O. Dean, canning expert, de- livered two demonstrative lectures on how to can garden products before large gatherings of women at the Pre- vocational Grammar school kitchen this morning and afternoon. So large was the crowd of women at both morning and afternoan lectures that extra chairs had to be secured and even then there were many who were compelled to stand. Great enthus- iasm in the work was manifested by the women and Mrs. Dean, in the course of her lectures, stated that in case there are a sufficient number of girls and women who have to work days and who would like to learn the art of preserving sgarden produce they can organize an evening class and arrangements can be made for her to lecture and demonstrate before them. These lectures and demonstrations on canning are given through the office of the Chamber of Commerce, with which is co-operating the Con- necticut Committee on Faod Supply, the Connecticut Agricultural college and the United States Department of Agriculture, The local committee di- rectly in charge of arranging these lectures, and from whom further in- formation can be obtained, is com- posed of E. W. Pelton, chairman, Mrs, E. W. Christ, Mrs, C. Chase, Mrs. Hedley P. Carter, Mrs. Ira E. Hicks, and the Misses Mary A. Campbell and Flora Humphrey, Lectures on Canning. Mrs. Dean, who lectured today, gave her demonstrations at 10 a. m, and 2 p. m., the subject being “Home Can- ning and Dry Among other things, the expert explained that one of the first principles in canning is to sterilize the product and to seal the container absolutely air tight. The various steps in canning, she explained, should be taken up in fifteen parts: grade the products ac- cording to shape, size and degree of ripeness; wash thoroughly, trim or pare; scald or blanch, according to recipe; dip the product quickly but thoroughly in very sold water; pack carefully in jar; add boiling liquid; wipe top of jar carefully; place rubber and cover on jar; partially seal; cook the length of time required in recipe: remove jar; tighten cover; cool; test; seal when coal; label. As one excellent formula for syrup to be used in canning all fruite del- icate in flavor and texture, is given three quarts of sugar and two quarts of water, boiled together. If sugar is too expensive and the fruit is such that less is required, three quarts of water and two quarts of sugar works well. By the cold pack method, how- ever, all fruits can be successfully canned without sugar, it was ex- plained. This cold pack method is one in which the product is sterilized after it is placed in jars and is found to be successful in canning fruits, vegetables and meags. By this meth- 0d the products retain their natural color, flavor and texture and there is much saving of time and fuel. When canning fruits by the cold pack method Mrs. Dean advised all women to can the products on the day they are picked. For canning lima bears, string beans, peas, etc., the expert recommended canning on the same day as picked. The opera- tion Cull, string and grade. Blanch boiling water for two to five minates.

Among the many important can- ning suggestions made hy Mrs. Dean are the following: Be sure and ster- ilize all jars and use only the best Jars. o glass jar with rubber or metal in direct contact with the food is desirable unless metal cap is namelled or lacquered. To test seal- ing rubbers the rubber should be folded in half and if jt does not it is probably safe. Also, if the rubber, after being stretched, springs back into original shape.
