BOUSING PROJECTS
WASHINGTON.—I spent one morn
ing visiting low cost housing proj
ects in and around Washington.
Some of the people who were moved,
because of the fa.ct that the navy
yard had to be enlarged, are in a
trailer camp nearby.
On the whole, the arrangements
are good. I was surprised at how
wonderfully the women manage in
such small quarters. In one trailer
three grown people and three chil
dren were housed, and yet every
thing was as clean and neat as pos
sible. The camp is divided into
two units. Each has a utility build
ing where laundry can be done, and
showers and sanitary toilets.
I did not see any of the new de
mountable houses which are to
house so many defense workers.
Property owners have in many
cases objected strongly to having
these houses go up in their neigh
borhood for fear of lowering the
Values. But since these houses are
demountable and are to be sold at
the end of the emergency and tak
en somewhere else, I do not feel the
danger is very great.
The other sites I visited -are all
under the direction of the Alley
Dwelling authority. I came away
With a great sense of pride in the
effort which people make to im
prove their living conditions just as
soon as they have anything with
which to work.

JAPANESE IN C. S.
The first Congregational church in
Berkeley, Calif., has taken a great
interest in the American-born Japa
nese who have had to move further
inland. The following story was
sent to me by them:
“Arriving in Tanforan with only
the clothes he wore. Bill Kockiyama,
21, last week received a $2,000 in
heritance from a former stage and
screen actress, for whom his father
had worked for the past 20 years.
Kockiyama came from New York
city in 1940 to attend the University
of California. At Tanforan he is a
mess hall worker. ‘After deducting
income taxes I purchased $1,900 in
war bonds in order to do my part
in the war effort,’ Kockiyama stat
ed. Eventually he hopes to use the
money invested to continue his edu
cation.”

CHILDREN’S HEARING
In my mail has come a letter
from Dr. Morkovin, who is director
of the hearing clinic of the Univer
sity of Southern California. He
writes that there are some three
million hard-of-hearing children in
this country, whose loss of hearing
is discovered far too late for com
plete cure. This is largely due to
the fact that mothers do not realize
that complications which destroy
hearing often arise after measles,
whooping cough, infantile paralysis
and other children’s diseases.
Public opinion is indifferent to the
fact that the hearing handicap may
be a great deterrent to the develop
ment of the child. Therefore there
are no state or federal agencies
which care especially for hard-of-
hearing children and they are not
included in the benefits of the Crip
pled Children act. If we know how
much could be done, there would be
a weight of public opinion in favor
of watching for any signs of im
paired hearing in small children.

‘THE FORTY PLUS’
I find that I am not the only per
son who is concerned about employ
ment of older people. There is an
organization called “The Forty
Plus,” which has branches in many
of the big cities. It originated, I
think, in Boston. But the most re
cent letter I have had comes to me
from Pittsburgh, Pa.
The president, Mr. George Sheri
dan, writes: “The club was origi
nally formed with the idea of reliev
ing a situation then thought to have
been brought about by the depres
sion and with the hope in mind
that as conditions improved, the sit
uation would automatically take
care of itself and that men with
the ability of our members would
find no difficulty in securing posi
tions.
“To a certain extent this has been
true, and we feel we have had good
success, having placed 571 men
since our organization was formed
in Pittsburgh in July, 1939, to the
present time; but we are still meet
ing with and endeavoring to over
come, a prejudice to hiring men
over 40 years of age. We are try
ing to correct an impression on the
part of many employers that the
ability and capacity for work of
men over that age is less than that
of younger men.”

WAR TIME SCHEDULES
NEW YORK CITY.—One day I
came up by plane to New York
city. I was interested to find that
between Washington and New
York city there were a number of
empty seats, so I think the young
man was right who urged me to give
up traveling by plane.
I wasn’t actually told I could have
a seat until an hour before the plane
left. However, I didn’t have any
thing so vital to do for an hour
after reaching New York city and
a little uncertainty didn’t matter.
Fitted Suits Are Favored by .
Those Who Really Want to Swim
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
DLAY clothes are in a very color-
1 ful and versatile mood this sea
son, and swim suits are no excep
tion to the rule. It adds to the zest
of things that bathing suit fashions
present two distinct trends to be
considered, for dressmaker fabric
types vie with body-molding wool
knits.
With some the selecting of swim
suits is a matter of picturesque garb
which spends more hours on the
beach in the style parade than in
the water. To these the dressmaker
styles which play up novelty and fab
ric dramatically make definite ap
peal.
Then there are the real swimmers
who go in for health and exercise
and trophies and who want suits
which give perfect freedom of action
to the body. To these fearless
divers and swimmers it is the suit
of wool knit which, makes appeal.
It is efficiency they demand for their
suit, with color glory and chic styling
added. They will find all they long
for in the handsome yet practical
fashions illustrated in the above pic
ture. The designing of these mod
els manages the task of allowing
freedom of movement while remain
ing perfectly molded to the figure.
Favored by real swimmers is the
one-piece suit pictured to the right.
This bright red ribbed knit, subtly
elastic and flexible, is a master
piece. The adroit shirring is brought
up into a pretty bow effect at the
front, at the same time that it makes
the suit conform to the body. Thus
it meets the ideal of the ardent en
thusiast who is battling with the
waves.
Just as the plaid sweaters scored
big last season the Argyle plaid
wool knit swim suits like that pic
tured to the left in the group are
triumphantly in the lead this sum
mer. This one-piece suit with front
skirt is a real swimmer, and it
rides on the crest of the wave of
fashion as well as on the waves of
the ocean. You can get it in muted
colors or in bright, lush colors that
are thrilling.
The young and sleek two-piece
red and white striped wool suit cen
tered in the group has all the char
acteristics which go to make up the
ideal garb for a swimming enthusi
ast. The texture is very new, being
a most interesting seersucker con
struction. Its amazing light weight
and its midriff treatment appeals to
the young set.
Amidst the confusion of play
clothes which crowd summer
beaches, one is impressed with the
number of two-piece novelties made
of jersey. An outstanding model is
in black and white striped jersey
with bare midriff and covered shoul
ders, the sleeves stopping midway
to the elbow.
The all-white vogue is represent
ed in many charming jersey suits.
Especially charming is the white
jersey, the halter-neck top of which
is cut out at the front midriff only.
Bowknots in contrasting jersey are
appliqued here and there.
While there is still a limited sup
ply of rubber bathing caps to be
had comes the comforting news that
substitute, rubberless caps are be
ing produced. These are of cotton
treated with pyroxiline to make
them weatherproof. And that goes
to prove once again that “necessity
is the mother of invention.”

Wine and Gray
Wine and gray checked cotton
gingham makes this jacket dress
for town wear. There are interest
ing details that give this stunning
outfit distinction. The beautifully cut
jacket has bias bands of the ging
ham on pockets and cuffs. The bias
idea is carried out, also, in the
pleated skirt and the jabot. A very
significant detail is this jabot, for
it is an innovation for it to be of
self fabric. This technique has been
used successfully by a leading de
signer for lightweight cloth suits.
Gray Chambray Is
Ideal for Summer
Refreshingly new and ultra chic
is the suit or dress made of cham
bray in a “Puritan” gray that is
lovely for summer. Favor for this
gray washable is sweeping through
style centers at the moment, the
grays challenging the much-talked-
of town blacks to a lively contest.
Women love the new gray cham-
brays, because, for one reason
among many, they launder so easily
and exquisitely. Then, too, they
yield so attractively to white ac
cents, anu they have that immacu
late looking way about them that
is so much sought for by women
who dote on a perfectly groomed ap
pearance.
A new styling given to a gray
chambray dress buttons the sur
plice bodice over to the left under
arm with large white pearl buttons
running down the skirt to the hem
line. The message of gray satin
for afternoon dresses is also being
broadcast through fashion circles,
but of course these are for “date”
wear and such.
The gray chambrays are so def
initely practical for all-purpose
wear they’ll prove a constant source
of joy.
Two-Piece Ensemble Has
Wide Scarf for a Jacket
When the fall season gets in swing
one of the sights you’ll see that’s
good for the eyes is the tweed two-
piece ensemble that college girls
will adore.
It has a tweed skirt finished off
with self fringe (the edge raveled)
up and down the wraparound edge
to the left. Instead of a jacket
there’s a wide, shawl-like scarf. The
shawl also has matching self-fringed
edges. Add a bright blouse to bring
the costume to a perfect climax.

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.
Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for July 26

Council of Religious Education; used by

NOAH: GOD’S COVENANT WITH
MANKIND
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 9:1-16.
GOLDEN TEXT—I will remember my
covenant.—Genesis 9:15.
God does not forget. He keeps
His promises now just as He did in
the days of Noah. Since our lesson
of last Sunday, a long period of time
had elapsed. Generation after gen
eration had come and gone, and all
the while man grew more and more
wicked. Finally, God saw that He
must put an end to the corruption of
the human race, saving just one
righteous family, that of Noah, with
which to begin anew.
He warned Noah of the judgment
of the flood, and he in turn doubt
less warned others, but finally the
day came when God shut him in the
ark and poured forth the waters of
judgment upon the then inhabited
earth. But the same God who shut
Noah in (Gen. 7:1), in due time
called him out (Gen. 8:15, 16).
Noah had obeyed God, and He
now rewarded him. The man who
had borne the ridicule was now hon
ored by Him. The experience of
Noah brings before us—
God’s Three Gifts to a Believing
Man:
I. Power (w. 1-4).
Man is the “lord of creation,”
not because he has brought about
its subjection, but because God gave
him that power. It was first given
to Adam (Gen. 1:26), and it is re
newed here, with the additional
promise of the animal as food. This
was not to be, however, after the
manner of wild beasts (v. 4).
No man ever lost anything by
obeying the commands of God, even
though appearances may seem to so
indicate. The ridicule of those who
called Noah foolish for obeying God,
had now been silenced by the judg
ment of the flood, and he stood forth
vindicated, empowered by God, with
authority over the whole earth.
Faith is still the victory. Men
who put their hopes in the kings
and empires of this earth have seen
them “rise and wane,” and even un
believers are beginning to talk about
the necessity of a spiritual anchor
age for the souls of men. It is
found only in Christ, but in Him is
found both peace and power for
victorious living.
But we see a second gift of God—
II. Protection (vv. 5-7).
Human life is not as cheap as
men would have us think. Their
estimate based on greed and lust
for power makes man but a unit in
a machine designed to build up po
litical power. The blood of those
who are not profitable to such an
enterprise, is shed in utter callous
ness.
Those who do such things, need
to read the words of God, “Whoso
sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall
his blood be shed: for in the image
of God made he man” (v. 6). What
a tremendous bill some men will
have to pay when they stand before
the seat of judgment of our God.
Even the animals who kill men are
to be slain (v. 5). How much great
er shall be the condemnation of the
man who violates God’s command.
But we see a third gift of God, de
signed to remove a deep fear from
his heart, namely God’s—
III. Promise (w. 8-16).
God made a covenant with Noah
and with his descendants and every
living creature (w. 9, 10). This is
the third of God’s eight covenants
with man, beginning with the one to
Adam in the Garden of Eden (Gen.
1:28), and closing with the new cov
enant (Heb. 8:8).
This was a promise of God’s grace
that there should be no more judg
ment by flood, and as a sign He
chose the rainbow, which, appear
ing in the very time when rain
should fall, would reassure men that
a new flood was not coming upon
them. What a beautiful symbol!
“I will remember,” said God, and
He has not forgotten. Though thou
sands of years have passed, there
has never since been such a cata
clysm of judgment. How unspeaka
bly precious it is to recall that God
has not forgotten a single one of
us; thst^le remembers every prom
ise He has ever made; that He keeps
every covenant. And on the con
trary, how disturbing it must be to
the unbeliever to realize that God
has not forgotten his sin and unbe
lief, nor the judgment which is sure
to come.
The story of Noah should stimu
late our faith, causing us to trust
God, to obey His every command,
and to look to Him for His power
in our lives. His protection over us,
His promise of grace to all who be
lieve.
Faithful in Small Things
Duty, be it in a small matter oi
a great, is duty still, the command
of Heaven, the eldest voice of God;
and it is only they who are faithful
in a few things who will be faithful
over many things. Only they whe
do their duty in everyday matters
will fulfill them pn great occasions.
—Charles Kingsley.
Prepare for Winter With Delicious Canned Fruit
(See Recipes Below.)
Fruit Canning
Plan now to put up those fruits
from the market or your victory
garden while you
can still capture
their garden-
freshness and
summer sweet
ness. This year’s
canning will re
quire more care
ful planning than ever before, for
waste in the fruit itself, canning
jars, rubbers or sugar is highly un
desirable. \
Chart your plans before embark
ing on the canning program. Con
sider first how much sugar you will
have available, with the five pounds
per person allotment for people who
are canning. Plan this amount so
it will do for the jams, jellies, pre
serves, and sugar syrups for fruit
canning.
If possible, can in the early morn
ing hours when you are rested and
your mind free from too many oth
er thoughts. You will then be able
to follow recipes more carefully, to
work with more energy and spirit.
The day before you will, if you are
the bright and alert homemaker,
have gathered together your jars,
washed them, bought necessary sup
plies of rubbers and. covers and oth
er equipment.
Bring out the preserving kettles
and pressure cookers, too. See that
they are well scoured, that you have
the racks, petcocks, pressure gauge,
and steam-tight cover on the pres
sure cooker well in order.
A hot water bath is best for pro
cessing fruits because they are acid.
They can safely
at high tempera
tures, and tex
ture, flavor and
color are best.
Oven canning is
good also. For the
hot water bath,
use a large wash
boiler or vessel with tight fitting
cover. Fit this with a rack at least
% inch from the bottom. Fill the
rack with enough water to cover
jars at least one inch over the top.
I Count the processing time as soon
as water surrounding the jars begins
to boil. There should be free circu
lation of water around jars.
For oven canning, set the tempera
ture at 250 -degrees. Set jars on a
rack in the cold oven, however. Start
counting time when oven is switched
or turned on. Do not allow the tem
perature ever to exceed 250 degrees
as this causes liquid to boil away
and evaporate.
In placing your jars in the oven,
allow for free circulation of heat be
tween them. Do not allow the jars
to touch each other, as this will often
cause breakage, and do not allow
them to come in contact with the
sides of the oven.
If liquid evaporates during the
processing in the oven, do not fill
the jars after you take them out.
Some evaporation does not affect
successful canning of the fruit.
< The Sugar Question.
Fruit may be canned successfully
without sugar or sugar syrup with
water or fruit juice used in its place.
Sugar, however, does mellow and
ripen the fruit, giving it a better
flavor. You might try making your
fruit syrups for fruit canning less
sweet than usual if you are short on
sugar.
Honey may be used in place of
sugar in making the sweet syrup,
but the fruit will be somewhat more
dark than if sugar is used and the
fruit flavor will be intensified. Use
honey for each cup of sugar in the
substitution.
A
Lynn Says:
How many jars are you putting
up of the fruits? Here’s a guide
to help you pick out jars:
Cherries: 9 baskets yield 2 pints
pitted, 7 pints, if whole.
Peaches: 2V* pounds (small
basket) yields 1 quart.
Plums: 1 14-pound basket
yields 25 pints.
Strawberries: 1 crate yields 28
pints, if canned whole; 31 (7V4-
ounce) glasses of jam.

Green Beans Scalloped Potatoes
Tomato-Lettuce Salad
Bran Muffins
Whipped Fruit Gelatin
Beverage
White corn syrup is another ac
ceptable substitute, but since it is
less sweet than sugar, substitute IVz
cups of com syrup for 1 cup of
sugar.
Syrups to Use.
Thin syrups (No. 1) are used for
small, soft fruits such as cherries
and berries. Make the syrup by us
ing three parts of water to one part
of sugar.
Medium syrup (No. 2) does best
by sour berries, acid fruits as cher
ries and rhubarb, and peaches. Boil
two parts of water with one part of
sugar.
Heavy syrup (Nr\ 3) is prescribed
for the large, sour fruits in which
you desire extra sweetness. Measure
one part water to one part sugar
and bring to a boil.
Apples or Pears.
(Hot Pack)
Wash, pare, core uniform-sized ap
ples and cut to desired sizes. (If
fruit is to stand
long enough to
discolor, drop in
to water which
has been slightly
salted, until ready
to use.) Drain
from brine. Boil
3 to 5 minutes in
a medium syrup and pack into clean
jars, filling with syrup to Mi inch of
the top. Put on cap, screw band
tight, process in hot water bath 25
minutes, or in the oven (at 250
degrees) 75 minutes. If using a pres
sure cooker, process at 5 pounds for
10 minutes.
Apples or Pears.
(Open Kettle)
Select uniform fruit, wash, pare
and core. Cut into halves or slices.
Drop into boiling No. 1 syrup, and
boil for 20 minutes. Pack into clean,
hot, sterilized jars and seal tight.
Peaches.
(Open Kettle)
Select firm, ripe peaches. Peel or
dip peaches in hot water, then in
cold and slip off peel. Leave whole
or cut in halves or slices. Boil 20
minutes in No. 2 or 3 syrup, and
pack in clean, hot, sterilized jars.
Seal tightly.
Peaches.
(Hot Pack)
Prepare as above, removing peel
and pits. Precook for 3 minutes,
then pack into clean jars, add syrup
to within % inch of the top. Put on
top, screw on firmly, and process in
a hot water bath for 20 minutes, or
in the pressure cooker for 10 min
utes at 5 pounds, or in the oven (250
degrees) for 68 minutes.
Plums.
(Hot Pack)
Use the same method and time
as for peaches, except do not pee]
the fruit, merely prick the skins.
Berries.
(Cold Pack)
(Except strawberries and cranber
ries)
Wash, stem and pack berries.
Pack into clean jars and add No. 2
or 3 syrup. Put on cap, screw
tightly. Process in hot water bath
20 minutes or in pressure cooker
8 minutes at 5 pounds or in the oven
at 250 degrees for 68 minutes.
Cherries.
(Cold Pack)
Wash, stem and pit cherries, if
desired. Pack into well cleaned jars,
fill with No. 2 or 3 syrup depend
ing on the sweetness desired. Put
on cap and fasten tightly. Process
20 minutes in a hot water bath, 10
minutes in the pressure cooker at
5 pounds, or 68 minutes in a 250-
degree oven.
