ISHOPPER'Sl CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY FRUIT FOR THE FREEZER ARE YOU feasting these days on fresh, tender rhubarb your grocer is offering so generously and cheaply? Having rhubarb sauce for the family, rhubarb tarts and pie for company? There's plenty of it, and it's cheap I for a little while " longer so why not fAAIN look ahead t0 the coming winter, and STRccT bring the taste of FEATURE sPrinS int0 u by j , freezing rhubarb while you can get all you want? Don't wait for the really hot weather. Freeze it right away! You will get the best results if you grab it while it's young, tender and light red or pink in color. Select, for the freezing, well-forme- d stalks in solid sondition. Trim the stalks, discard-ing about an inch below the leaf, and wash thoroughly. Cut the stalks to your taste or the capacity of your carton and pick without sugar, and get on with your freezing job. Happy day, when you take it out for a winter treat of rhubarb pie! And strawberries! Do you know that the current crop coming more and more Into your market, is the oiggest in nine long years? So now's the time to buy them in quantity the quality you can be sure of and provide for the future as well as the present, by freezing them as you buy. For freezing purposes, pick medium- -sized berries of solid red color with fresh green caps and stems. Be ure they're firm and plant-ripene- Wash, hull, and slice your ber-ries vertically, for better appear-ance and taste, and cover with sugar. A 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 pack is your best bet. That is, 3 or 4 pounds of fruit to a pound of sugar, depend-ing on your own or your family's sweet tooth. It's best to weigh the fruit before proportioning fruit to sugar. Spread the berries in a large flat pan, add the desired sugar, and keep turning the fruit with a pan-cake turner until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, and let the sugar stand on the berries until there's enough juice to cover, then pack into your containers. If you should use glass jars, be sure to leave plenty of head space. NOTHING WASTED While most of the berries In your boxes will be just what you want for freezing, there might be a few strays that were picked premature-ly, and show white spots especially on the tips. Don't throw them out you can use them for jams and pre-serves, so that there's no waste. And while the getting's good on both rhubarb and strawberries, why not combine the two in jam, a perennial favorite? The proportions of the two are alike a pound of rhubarb to a pound of berries. Wash the strawberries, drain and remove caps, and cut the rhubarb in one-inc- h pieces, not removing the skin. Allow 1 to 2 pounds of sugar to 2 pounds of the combined fruits. Cover the rhubarb with part of the sugar, and let it stand for from one to two hours. Crush the strawberries and mix with the rest of the sugar, and join the two. Heat the mixture slowly until the sugar is completely dissolved, and stir constantly while boiling slowly for 15 or 20 minutes, until the Jam reaches the desired consistency. Then pour into hot sterilized jars, and seal them up. And here's a saving tip which holds good for any fruit-cannin- g or preserving job. The excess juice left over can be frozen for future use as a sherbet! Just pour the overflow in the freezer tray, and place in either top or bottom shelf of the freezing compartment. Freeze to the mushy stage, remove from the tray and whip with a rotary beater, and put it back to freeze until firm. Then it's ready for any sudden call for sherbet or fruit cocktail topping! HjBv JIM RHODYFfS No More Doubt With sufficient time having elapsed to prove the conclusion, there is no more doubt that the glass fishing rods for casting, spin ning and fly use have made a last ing place for themselves in the an-gler's list of equipment. In fact, it is a tenable assumption that the glass rods finally may displace the metal rods altogether and seriously threaten use of bamboo. The reason for that is instantly obvious to the angler who has en-gaged in extensive use of all three types of rods. It is simply a popu-lar fact that the glass rod can take more abuse, requires less care and attention than the bamboo and as yet has shown none cf the tendency of metal rods to snap off while bo ing used, oft times on a back-cas- t. This latter fault in steel rods is due to crystalization of the metal and it sometimes occurs in even the highest-- priced metal rods. Why is the glass rod superior? A year ago, we examined the role the Class rod was beginning to play in the angler's scheme of things and that article indicated the trend that ivas to bring the glass rod to the tore. The fact that the top rod manu-facturers in the nation are apparent-ly placing more emphasis on the glass rods and their development than on other types of rod is in-dicative of their confidence in the future of this type of fishing in-strument. Now, 'a year later, we again checked fly rod development, this time turning to the Montague firm for our information because these have come up with an amazingly light and flexible glass rod which, at the same time, shows no sacrifice of strength or durabil-ity. Ed Maquire answering our query (or the Montague firm, wrote, in part: "Holloglass coreless rods first came out about eight years ago. They were the invention of a West Coast scientist and seemed to work out very well on the West Coast. Unfortunately, when the rods came East and were subjected to the cli-mate around Cape Cod, they be-came very brittle and broke by the hundreds. "During the war, duPont devel- - ope a a special treatment lor glass yarn that guarded it against cli-matic effects with the result that a fishing rod made of glass became practical and the first solid glass rod was developed in the Middle West. "This same specially treated yarn was then used by both the solid glass and the tubular glass manu-facturer. "We first started experimenting with solid glass about three and one half years ago and we developed our own method of turning out a solid glass shaft. "The experiments were carefully supervised by Montague experts and only when we came up with a shaft that met the exacting action which Montague had come to expect from bamboo did we stop experimenting. About a year and a half ago, Montague bought the oldest fiber-glass low pressure laminated cor-poration in the country. Here, too, our experts went to work and spe-cial mandrels were designed to pro-duce a rod that would meet the re-quirements of the experts so far as action is concerned and, after all, a fishing rod is only as good as its action no matter what it's made of. "Because we wanted to point out to the public that all glass rods are not the same and that our glass rods have what it takes, we approached the United States Testing Company, the foremost testing laboratory in the country and submitted to them samples of Montague solid glass and holloglass rods. These rods were subjected to all the tests a fishing rod could ever be expected to meet under actual fishing conditions plus a lot of others. The rods were given extreme cold tests, extreme heat tests, flexing tests that would be equivalent to one hundred years of fishing use, impact tests and still they didn't break down." AAA Who Knows? We have been stumped by this question: Are glowworms, "light-ning bugs," good for fish bait? Off-hand, we'd say "No," because if it were the bugs' luminosity that was to attract the fish, we imagine it would be under water. However, since light attracts fish, it might be effective to gathei a number of these bugs, put them in a bottle and use this (tightly-corked- , of course) as an under water attraction in States where such tricks are legal. AAA Dove Fatalities Although disease usually does not reach peak proportions until sum mer, mourning doves already are dying in considerable numberf from the effects of trichomoniasis in Alabama, the Wildlife Manage ment Institute reports. Current reports being investigat ed by personnel of the Alabama co operative wildlife research unit in dicate that this year's die-of- f ma be even greater than that whicl occurred in 1950. I SPORTLIGHT New Problem Plagues Football By GRANTLAND RICE leges, football players don t come free. There is the matter of scholar-ships, books (too often cash), train-ing tables, equipment, traveling ex-penses, all in addition to the coach-ing staffs. More than a few colleges have admitted that lt costs a big-tim- e university or college $250,000 a year to run a football team. Not many colleges can stand that pace. Army, Navy, Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, SMU and a few others can. Tennessee and Kentucky can, as long as they collect $100,000 in Bowl money every year. But they can't all crowd Into bowls every season. The Alligator Bowl at Jackson-ville has now taken its place among the leaders, and this means four big bowls outside of the Rose. But even this can't take care of all football, if Bobby Dodd is right. The Two Problems Football has moved Into the tele-vision tangle in the same manner. Maxims From Methuselah Take your pick from the tip-sters, who give you the winning horse, But kindly remember the an-swer In the heart of your black remorse. Horse racing's an opium dream, beyond all dreams ever spun. Where every sad bloke in the mob should have won every race that was run. Did you ever notice, my friend, In the race track's grotto of tears, How many go to the Seller's maw how few to the lone Cashier's? Did you ever notice, old pal, In the race tracks' dizzy spin There are ninety ways that a horse can lose with only one way to win? Football's Double Trouble Bobby Dodd, head coach and athletic director at Georgia Tech, is one of the ablest men in football. This goes both for coaching and handling all football problems. He has been on the job for at least 20 years, one way or another, so be doesn't have to guess. lSLI It so happens that football already has one major problem on the financial side. This is tele-vision and the problem Is still neck high. Now, according to Bobby Dodd, foot-ball has another it has a committee, neaaea oy Captain Tom Hamilton of Pitts-burgh, working out a plan of partial TV use. No one can say In advance just how effective this plan for stopping bankruptcy will be. But Hamilton happens to be one of the smartest football executives the game has, and he believes the situation can be worked out There will be a limited number of live TV contests, and the entire college field must work together. Two or three big teams could break away to work on their own and wreck the entire plan. Just what will happen to Bobby Dodd's complaint about unlimited substitution and the double-platoo- n system is something that must be taken up later. I understand a big battle will take place to move the game back to its old methods of substitution. The Importance of Putting For a great many years theie have been two steamed-u-p schools of thought among golfers about the importance or overimportance of putting, compared to wood and iron play. In scoring a 72 for 18 holes, you are supposed to have taken 36 strokes with some 13 other clubs, and 36 strokes with the putter. Is the size of the cup responsible? Should it be what lt is today, or larger or smaller? It's a question. Millions of golfers know the feel-ing of hitting a fine drive, a fine iron and later having a three- - or four-foo- t putt quiver on the .lip of the cup without dropping. The half-inc- h putt remaining costs as much as a 250-yar- d drive. prooiem oi even Grantland Rk. deeper depth. is the expense of the two-plato-system and unlimited substitution. Dodd recently told Ed Danforth, veteran sports editor, that only two teams in the big Southeastern Con-ference were solvent. "These two are Tennessee and Kentucky," Dodd said. "And the reason they are solvent Is they still have something left from their bowl money two big bowl seasons in the Cotton and Sugar shows. "Florida and Miami have big advances from the race tracks and dog tracks. But I can tell you the rest of us are up against it financially, and are carrying a load we can't handle too long." Dodd then goes on to point out what the double-platoo- n system means. According to Dodd, who certainly ought to know, "it means 100 players and 12 coaches in place of 50 players and six coaches. We only needed 50 players and six coaches in 1945." There is another point that Coach Dodd did not stress. In most col- - : V h ! HOME AWAY FROM HOME ...
