"Never before in this war has

AVOID CANNING MISHAPS BY
FOLLOWING PROPER DIRECTIONS
Although 1943 was a banner year for home canners, it was also a
troublesome one. As unbelievable as it may seem, it was the old-timer.
rather .than the novice, who most often lost her way in the maze of
jars and war-time caps. Some of the old-timers were so sure they
knew the road to successful home canning that they struck out alone,
paying no attention to directions.<
Others chose to follow uninformed
guides who posed as authorities, but
those who went to headquarters for
information m~de the journey with-
out mishap.
The glass top seal cap, consisting
of metal "band, glass lid, and sepa-
rate rubber ring, was the indirect
cause of the more serious canning
troubles in 1943. This cap gave sat-
isfaction when used right, which was
and is fortunate because the War
Productio~ Board's order that at
least forty "percent of all Jars made
be fitted with glass tops has been
carried over into 1944.
Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service
Director for Ball Brothers Company,
gives five simple rules which will, ff
followed, insure successful use of
the glass top seal caps. They are:
1. Examine the top of every Jar. It
must he even and smooth.
2. Leave about one inch head space
whe~ gtling jars to be processed
(cooking in. Jar in canner) and
about one.half inch head space
when doing old.fashioned open
kettle canning.
8. Fit the rubber around the projec.
tion on the bottom of the lld be-
fore putting lid on the jar. The
rubber must He fiat between the
lid and the top of the jar. Rub-
bers cannot slip out of place if
they are put on right.
4. When processing is to be done.
tighten tl~e metal bands, then
loosen them by turning back
about one-quarter turn. The
bands must be tightened after
the jars are removed from the
canner.
5. Remove the metal bands the next
day after the canning is done and
test the seal by pulling on the
lids, gently, with the finger tip&
If the canning is done right, vac-
uum in the Jar plus air presmtre
on the outside ~ hold the lid
dowu in an airtight seal That is
why it is unnecessary to put the
bands back on the Jars.
Each of the five rules given is ira-
pertant, but failure to observe rule
~mtber four causes trouble.
Every section of the country
over-subscribed its quota" of Jar
breakage last season. Too much in.
ternal pressure is the most common
cause of jar breakage while jars are
in a canner and is the only thing"
that causes a Jar to explode. In.
ternal pressure builds up when a Jar
is closed so tight that steam cannot
escape from it during processing,
So, keep those glass top seal bands
loose while the jars are in a canner,
and there ~ill be, can he, no ex.
plosionsl
A jar on which a separate rubber
ring is used should never be closed
tight before processing. On the
other band, the flexibility of the
metal lid plus the nature of the seal-
compound make it beth possible
and necessary to tighten the bands
on vacuum seal two-pie~ metal
caps before processing.
Manufacturer's in~rtrucfloas clear-
ly state that:
1, Jars to be sealed with vacuum
aeal, caps n'~st,, have. ev~ m~4h,
flawless top edges:
2. From one-half to {me inch head
space must be left when filling Jars
and anything spilled on the top of
the Jar must be wiped off. • •
3. The lids must be dropped in
boiling water. They need not be
boiled unless they are to be used for
old-fashioned open kettle e~.
4. The metal bands must be
screwed down snugly tight,--that is,
as fight as they will go without
force. The bands must not be tight-
ened after the )ars are taken from
the canner.
5. The bands should be removed
from the Jars the next day after the
canning is done and the seal tested
by pressing on the lid with a finger.
A tightly sealed lid wl~ not move
under finger pressure.
In spite of these five simple rules.
there were persons who went right
ahead last season and used old
sha~.edged Jars or those with
rough, nicked, or uneven top edges,
and there were some who filled the
Jars too fulL Others tried tu~make
cast-off lids from commercial Jars
serve the purpose of the regular
metal bands, but possibly the most
common of all blunders was that ~f
forcing the bands so tight that the
tOps of the jars pushed through the
compound and prevented a seal.
The metal bands for vacuum and
glass top seals are not interchange-
able .but both should be removed
from the jars the next day after
the canning is done and left off,
Otherwise, they are likely to rust
and be difficult to remove when time
comes to open the Jars.
The "war babies" are still with
us, but prospects are mush brighter
for the 1944 oanning season~ More
people will be familiar with the
glass top seal and two-piece vacuum
seal caps. The sealing compound
on the metal vacuum seal lids wilt
be less easily ruined because of the
synthetic rubber in its compositio~
Best news of the season for a great
many home canners is that the one~
piece zinc. pereelain-lined cap is
back from the war.

Harvest Labor
Needs Increase
With additional volunteers for
work in the harvest fields reporting
from Fort Lincoln and the Capitol
it is estimated that the total regis-
tered at the federal employment bu-
reau will reach 200 before the
week-end- This is not as high as an-
ticipated and Trygge Hags, district
director, urges every able man and
woman to make themselves avail-
able for the ever increasing demand
for help.
Orders for full time farm labor-
ers are as yet unfilled now total be-

With the close of the Ward Coun-

During the 1944 season, three
State Camps and ten County Camps

attedance.
The first Farmers Union Recrea-

Compensation
Bureau Is 25
Years Old
The North Dakota Workmen's
Compensation Bureau on July -
could have celebrated its 2Sth an-
niversary of service to the workers
of the ~state, because it commenced
business on July 1, 1944. according
to Adolph Michelson, chairman of
~he bureau.
The bureau was created by a leg-
islative enactment earlier in the
year. While many politicians have
claimed credit for presenting the
idea to the members of the legis-
lature. Thomas Hall present secre-
tary of state, and a number of la-
bor leaders were the driving power
that piloted the Workmen's Com-
pensation act through the legisla-
ture.
J~hn N. Hagen, S. S. McDonald
and L. J. Wehe were the first com-
missioners. Present commissioners
are Adolph Micheison, chairman;
R. H. Walker and V. E. Fenelon.
The only chief claim clerk the
bureau has ever had is Peter Tin.
bo, who came from a law office in
Devils Lake to take over that pos-
ition.
During the first year of its oper.
ation. 1,312 claims were allowed
with a total liability of $365,391.38.
The business has shown a steady,
rapid growth, and in I943, 7,705
claims were allowed with a total
liability of $408,178.94. However,
the biggest business in the history
of the department was in 1929.
when $712,776.55 were paid out in
liability claims.
From time to time as the bu~io
ness grew rates were adjusted, us-
ually downward. During the last
six years an over-all reduction of
37 per cent has been made. placing
the North Dakota institution among
the lowest state-operated compen-
sation bureaus in the country. Leg°
islative enactments have also lib-
eralized its policy in several direc-
tions in order to give the insured a
more perfect coverage, without in-
crease in rates.
