This is particularly true of the young and headstrong. A girl who thinks she knows better than anyone else cannot can-not be reasoned with; sometimes some-times there is nothing to do but to stand aside and let her go through with her foolish plans. Miss Norris tells of an 18-year-old girl who is determined deter-mined to marry a man 47 years old, with two grown sons. He has no job, nor any income. It is hard to see why she is so infatuated with this middle-aged man, but so she is. Nothing her mother or grandmother can say has any influence on her. It is obvious to everyone that Rosamond is in for a heartbreaking experience. experi-ence. Many other foolish, willful people are suffering needlessly, needless-ly, continues Miss Norris, because be-cause of stubborn pride. F or instance, a woman quarreled with her brother years ago. She is now a widow, and her brother a widower. He has two small children. This brother and sister would like to help each other, but pridp stands in the way. Quarrels over wills divide many families. fami-lies. The occasions for flare-ups flare-ups are numerous, and longstanding long-standing feuds develop all too often from trivial circumstances. circum-stances. On the other hand, concludes con-cludes Miss Norris, everyone has frequent opportunities to make amends for the harmful acts of life by little deeds of kindness and thoughtfulness.

Which one of us doesn't look back at some foolishness, fool-ishness, some indiscretion, some mistake of youth with bitter regret! Just to have been ordinarily polite to mother, as she worried and pleaded. plead-ed. Just to have gone back that evening, eve-ning, and surprised dad by spending spend-ing an hour beside his sick-bed, reading to him. Just not to have written that angry letter.

Just to have forgiven and forgotten for-gotten the unintentional slight, or the accidentally overheard criticism. crit-icism. To have made less of the tangible thing Grandma's opal breast-pin or Aunt Lizzie's Canton set and more of the spirit of giving giv-ing and sharing. It is a strange heart indeed that does not remember scores of these omissions and stupidities, some o( them seemingly slight, some of them affecting our whole lives. But what we must also remember, remem-ber, in hours of compunction and remorse, is that all about us are other opportunities for kindness and thoughtfulness, chances to save ourselves our-selves fresh reason for regret in the years to come. Sometimes I fancy that generosity today actually actual-ly wipes out those old mistakes, and that to have learned the lesson is more important than the painful way in which we had to learn it. To say "I was wrong, and that that is past I start from here to go right," is to have mastered a very important impor-tant mystical secret. There is nc blunder, stupidity, sin of youth that may not be wiped out and forgotten; forgot-ten; and, if we will have it so, may not be turned from loss into gain. Home-Canned Vegetables Yes, that canning season has come around again. Gardens all over the country are bursting and blooming with their bounty of peas, corn, green beans, beets, car- k rots and greens. It's time to stop being the proverbial pro-verbial grasshopper grasshop-per and become the busy ant who wisely laid in provisions pro-visions for the winter. Well-laden shelves give a wonderful wonder-ful feeling of plenty when the earth becomes bare and unproductive. You can simply go down to your canning cellar and select the vegetables vege-tables that go bast with the meal. There's particular Joy in this if you've raised them yourself and watched them grow by degrees, but even if you haven't done your own gardening, you'll enjoy those hand-picked hand-picked foods. What Is Processing? When we speak of canning vegetables, vege-tables, we often use the word processing. proc-essing. This simply means that you can the food, placing it in sterile jars and apply a high enough temperature tem-perature to kill the micro-organisms and then seal the jars so no more can get in. If you're new at this canning business, busi-ness, remember these two important impor-tant points: get produce as fresh as possible (this is where having garden of your own helps so much) and trying to observe to the letter the rule of getting the vegetables from garden to can in two hours. Rule No. 2 is to have all your equipment ready so that there will be no time lost once you start the vegetables on their way to the jars. Essential Equipment. You will need these pieces of equipment to make your canning program run as smoothly as possible: pos-sible: clean jars with caps, tongs with which to remove re-move the jars from the canner; towels; newspa pers, a large kettle for pre-cooking the vegetables, spoons, small paring par-ing knife, pot holders, and of course the canner, preferably a pressure cooker. You may also find a funnel fun-nel essential, and it's nice to have a teakettle with a spout so that you can pour hot water into the jars after aft-er they are filled. The day before you actually decide de-cide to do your canning check over the above equipment list and see that everything is laid out and ready. The jars should be checked for nicks and cracks by running a Prickly Pear Killer. The Australian town of Boonarga has a memorial to an insect. This is the Cactoblastis Memorial hall built by farmers to honor the tiny insects which freed thousands of rich acres from prickly pear. The weed from North and South America bad a strangle hold on 30 million acres of Australian land by 1923. In the Argentine. Australian scientists tracked down the Cactoblastis Cacto-blastis cactorium insect Within seven sev-en years the last big belt of prickly pears in Queensland has gone. i LYNN SAYS: Make canning time ran smoothly: smooth-ly: Have the jars ready by figuring fig-uring as closely as possible the number you will need for the amount of fresh vegetables you use. These amounts of fresh vegetables veg-etables give approximately 1 quart of canned produce: 4 pounds of asparagus; Vh pounds beets (whole) ; 2Vi pounds of carrots; corn (cut from the cob), 8 ears; 6 pounds of greens; 4 quarts unshelled lima beans; 4 pounds green beans; 2 pounds of string beans; 2V4 to 3 pounds of tomatoes; 4 pounds of tomatoes (for juice). After filling jars, always run a spatula down the sides of the Jar to eliminate air bubbles. Use large pans of water and colanders to make washing and preparing the vegetables easy for canning.

Pressure Cooker Desirable, Although the time table at the top of the column gives time for proc essing in the hot water bath, it should be remembered that the pressure cooker Is the only method accepted by most authorities includ ing the department of agriculture. Why is this, you ask? First of all, there is danger of botulism in foods that are not properly prop-erly processed. This particular type of poisoning comes from the soil, and when present in the food and not destroyed by processing, they produce a toxin which is a deadly poison. A pressure canner is regarded re-garded as the only means of providing pro-viding temperatures high enough to kill the botulinus bacteria. You may alsq ask why the pressure pres-sure canner is recommended for vegetables and not considered essentia essen-tia (though it is desirable) for tomatoes to-matoes and fruits. The answer is that vegetables, and also meats and fish belong to the non-acid group. In acid foods, the bacteria can be killed in a reasonably short length of time by boiling-water bath temperature, tem-perature, but in non-acid foods, much higher temperatures, as you get in the pressure cooker, are necessary. nec-essary.

Pre - cook iY4f H vegeiaDie to shrink it somewhat some-what and make a more attractive pack. Save the cooking liquid to fill the jars. Allow Al-low head space of about inch at the top of each jar except in the case of corn, peas and shell beans which need 1 inch because they swell more during cooking. Also add salt if desired, about 1 teaspoon to each quart. Pour boiling water into canner to a level of about 2 inches, or follow manufacturer's directions. Seal or partially seal the covers on the jars, then place them on rack in pressure canner. Adjust cover of canner and fasten tightly with clamps. Leave the pet-cock pet-cock open until a jet of steam comes from it for 7 minutes. Check to see that no steam escapes from anywhere any-where else except the petcock. Then close the petcock and allow al-low the pressure to rise to designated designat-ed temperature. Then, . and only then, begin to count your processing process-ing time, checking often to see that the temperature does not fluctuate. When processing is finished, turn off the heat and let the pressure gauge come down to zero. Open petcock gradually, remove lid away from you and set jars on several thicknesses thick-nesses of cloth towels or newspapers, news-papers, away from a draft. Never taste home canned vegetables vegeta-bles which you think may be spoiled. Your sense of smell is the best guide in telling you if the vegetables vege-tables are good or not. If you are slill using the hot-water hot-water bath (or processing, follow the cooking times as directed, and always boil the vegetables in an open sauce pan for 10 minutes before be-fore tasting or using when ready to serve.

After extolling her daughter's virtues she added that she was "such a sweet, lovely little thing." Cagney saw this as a convenient way out and explained that he rather went in for the rough and ready stuff on the screen and that her daughter would be out of place in such an environment, "Your daughter," he concluded, pouring on the oil, "has such pure, fine qualities." "Ob," said the lady unabashed, "I am sure something could be done about that. You do so many wonderful things In Hollywood!" Rocket Ascended Over 41 Miles, Above Stratosphere In the United States, the first man-made object to pass beyond the stratosphere was a rocket fired secretly at White Sands, New Mexico, on October 23, 1949, says Collier's. Developed by the GALCIT organization of the California Cali-fornia Institute of Technology, this rocket, the starting weight of which was 680 pounds, was pro pelled by liquid fuel to a height of 235,000 feet, or over 44 miles, ac cording to the radar equipment that measured its flight. Sound Waves Jump Owing to some unknown meteor ological condition, sound waves sometimes "jump" great areas. For example, the explosion of an ammunition station in Holland In 1923, although heard for distance of 530 miles, was inaudible be tween 65 and 115 miles. fMllllIjli;" MGHBtEWmiiX Older people I If yon haren't the .
