*1C8C°VINg Iruils and vegetaâ€" bles by freezing is becoming inâ€" creasingly popular. It is an easy and practical way of ad{dsing nearâ€" fresh vegetables or fruits to winâ€" ter menus. Since the storage faâ€" cilities usually are limited, it is necessary that only the best raw material be used. Gardenâ€"fresh material, harvested at its optimâ€" um maturity, is always preferred. The best rule to follow is to use only that material which would be selected for the table, says G §hen L __ en omm en I 7 Freezing Fruits And Vegetables There is 15 per cent less labor on farms than before the war. Inâ€" creasing industrial activity may be expected to further decrease the supply of labor in rural comâ€" munities, thus all means of reducâ€" ing the labor required in farm operations should continue to be explored. That farmers are inâ€" creasingly aware of the value of labor saving equipment is indicatâ€" ed by the fact that the amount of equipment on farms has nearly doubled in the past ten years. There are 2% times as many tracâ€" tors in Western Canada and 4 times as many in Eastern Canada as there were ten years ago. There is now approximately one tractor per farm in the West and one tractor for 2% farms in the East. Combines have increased by 4% times in the West and 11‘ times: in the East, The number of motor trucks used by farmers has about doubled in the past !enéfars and. electric power has beén made available to nearly twice as many! farms. 1 in The Waterlioo Chronicle, Waterico County‘s cidest 4 English newspaper, devoted to the interests of the City of CVA Waterico and Waterice County, is published at 378 King St. North, ::i-'loq every Friday.

The introduction, in 1946, of ground _ equipment for _ low volume spraying for weed control by the Experimental Farms at Otâ€" tawa, Indian Head and Regina sparked a development that has resulted in chemical treatment of over 14 million acres of crop land per year for weed control. Simâ€" llarly, extensive Experimental Farms tests of forage harvesting methods, equipment and feeding and housing facilities have contriâ€" buted to more efficient means of handling feed and livestock. Mechanization of farm operaâ€" tions has taken place at an inâ€" creasingly rapid rate during the past ten or more years due to farm labor shortages, the financial ability of farmers to purchase equipment and to an increasing knowledge of the capabilities of particular machines. The Experiâ€" mental Farms Service has contriâ€" buted to this knowledge by the use of many of the newer designs of tractors, tillage tools, seeding and spraying equipment and a vaâ€" riety of harvesting machines. Exâ€" periments are being conducted to determine the value of various farming practices and the suitabiâ€" lity of different types of machines to the varying farm conditions through the country. Mechanization Agriculture Present Liberal government is as spineless as a stick of wet maâ€" caroni when dealing with labor trouble. Many magistrates are the same way, and allow law breaking pickets to go their merry way with little or no penalty. If the demand for a thirtyâ€"hour week beâ€" comes prevalent, certainly the present government will do nothing to prevent it, even though they know that such a work set up would ruin a large percentage of businesses now in operation. What this troubled world needs is more working hours and pay in relations to a man‘s knowledge and ability. What the unions want is shorter working hours and equal pay for everyone whether they have any inclination to work or not, and any ability to apply if they do work. The disease of short hours with big pay has, of course, been spread by union leaders afraid of their own plush jobs. Trouble is that man never grows up. If he did, the disease would not spread. When he was a small boy, he watched carefully to see that he got the same portion of ice cream as did his brother or sister. So it will be with the 30â€"hour week. He knew that too much ice cream would give him a bellyache, but he would eat it. He knows that the thirtyâ€"hour week is not good for him, for too much leisure time is not only hard to fill, it is hard to pay for. Yet, if the thirtyâ€"hour week is given to some, others will demand the same for fear they are missing someâ€" thing. With the average men and women striving to fill more leisure time than they have ever had before with some type of entertaining activity, we are prone to wonder where it will all stop if the work week continues to get shorter while there is still a fair abundance of money available. Idleness has always bred trouble. The man who really puts in a full day‘s work has little time or inclination to get into serious trouble. It is the lazy and the hangersâ€"on who stir things up and involve themseives and others in serious mischief. A good example are the pickets on any strike. While they ware at work they were sober, hard working men who followed the law to the letter. Get them out on strike with a group of other men and one or two imported goons to stir them up, and they act as though they have gone crazy, destroying property that means their living and beating up others they have worked with for years. Who benefits? The union bosses, of course. The pickets usually end up with a cracked skull, which may be poetic justice when the mentality of the men leading them is considered. Most men want more pay, but any of them who are worth hiring are willing to put in a good day‘s work for it Those intelligent enough to desire better things realize it takes effort to obtain them. They know nothing will fall into their laps like an over ripe apple. With several unions straining what few sinews they have, to force business to accept the 30â€"hour work week with the same or higher takeâ€"home pay, we are inclined to wonder how many of the actual members are behind such a move. It is readily realized by most thinking people that the most benefit gained by any union move is for the benefit of the union officials. In other words the union operate in the same manner and for the same purpose as do the bosses of the Kremlin. Preserving fruits and Editorial Comment P onb iP ont n eiirtntiad ...

Storage of these products should be at, or below, zero deâ€" grees Fahrenheit, with as little fAluctuation as practical. _ Blanching for 2 to 4 minutes is ’necessary for all vegetables to enâ€" sure retention of color and flavor in storage. Color and flavor are destroyed by certain enzymes which, if not destroyed by heat, will remain active at very low temperatures. Over â€" blanching must be guarded against, as this can be as damaging to flavor as underâ€"blanching. Chilling immediâ€" ately after blanching tends to reâ€" duce overâ€"blanching, as well as to remove much of the heat, thus facilitating more rapid freezing. Vegetables and some fruits preâ€" ferably are packed dry in sealable plastic bags which usually are placed in cartons to prevent puncâ€" turing. Most fruits best retain their flavor and color in syrups or dry su%ar packs. In addition, the syrup for peaches should contain 200 mg. of ascorbic acid per cup to prevent browning. Brine packs Most vegetables, except those ordinarily used for salads, freeze quite satisfactorily, but certain varieties are much better than others. Fruits offer little difficulâ€" ty in freezing, but pears are the exception, while peaches require special treatment.

In New York, the "creeper" may be charged with reckless driving. New Hampshire patrolmen frequentâ€" ly order the mope to the side of the road and hold him there, after Such action, even in a few places, indicates that the mope is at last being recognized for what he isâ€"death behind the wheel of a slow car. Automobile associations and highway officials, however, have become acutely mopeâ€"conscious. Although federal laws do not forbid slow driving, some provinces and cities have passed acts which permit the police to direct cars off the road or to step up speed when they are impeding traffic. Despite the accident potential the slow driver creates, his menace is still considered passive rather than active by courts and insurance companies. Usually he believes himself to be a very safe driver and would be astonished to realize that he is more often a factor in causing accidents. (From the September Issue of The Reader‘s Digest) The highway slowpokeâ€"the "mope" who drives 30 miles an hour in a 50â€"mile zone, holding up a long line of cars behind himâ€"is almost as dangerous as the speeder, says the September Reader‘s Digest.

It is clear that insofarâ€"as possession of the hydrogen bomb by a Communist power menaces the peace of the world, the reply of free peoples and nations must be continued, reenergized strengthening of their defenses, cultivation of closer ties of mutual understanding, and exploration of every avenue for diminshing world tensions. There is in the current news a fresh demand for thought to rise above accepting the suggestion that war is inevitable, that a clash of wills can be settled only by nuclear slaughter. The more steadfastly men of good will stick to their task of keeping the free world strong, the more lively is the prospect that despotic communism will be governed by caution and eventually accept some international conâ€" trol of weapons or at least cease its aggressive inclinations. One fact is basic and vital in this situation: Man has an eternaliâ€" ty that is not shared by human devices and is not within human power to destroy. The challenge is one which humanity has met and is meeting but which it must continue to mset with ever more wisdom, skill, ingeâ€" nuity, resolution, fortitude, and confidence, The first stepâ€"not the last resortâ€"is to invoke the highest spiritual resources at man‘s disposal. The conviction that divine intelligence rather than blind mechanical energy orders the universe gives direction and purpose to what men do with their fissionable materials and breeder reactors, in their replanning of cities and defenses, or at legislative conferences and diplomatic tables. The advent of "world wars" and the atomic bomb have threatâ€" ened to alter this balance. spreading immensely the areas of destrucâ€" tion and rousing apprehension that mankind might set in train its own annihilation. Now official confirmation that both the United States and the Soviet Union have experimentally exploded the vastly more devastating hydrogen bomb raises grimmer specters than before. (From The Christian Science Monitor) When a primitive man found his enemy had successfully copied the stone hatchet he made by tying a sharp rock to a stick, his world undoubtedly turned dark. When the ballista, followed by modern artillery, began to outmode walled cities, medieval people must have wondered what defense was left. As the art of making gunpowder became known on both sides of a hundred battle lines, men may readily have wondered if civilization could survive. Yet the population of the worid has increased through the cenâ€" turies in spite of all these devices and such refinements of them as the armorâ€"piercing projectile, the airborne machine gun, and the incendiary bomb. There are several reasons for this outliving of danger. One is that fear, better judgment, and a desire for peace have held in check the resort to force. Another is that though part of the world might be enveloped in war, the greater portion at a given time was devoted to more construction pursuits pfizOUSEHOLD FINANCE stop in for fast, friendly service Members of the crew of the Uruguayan frigate "Montevideo" visited U.N.
