To eliminate the danger of
electric shock, be sure your
automatic washer is grounded,
advises Mrs. Cecile Sindcn,
Penn Stale extension home
management specialist. A
greater hazard exists if laun
dry equipment is located in
the basement because the con
crete surface is in contact with
tho earth. If you grasp a part
of a defective appliance while
standing on the ground and
touch a water faucet at the
same time, your body serves
as a conductor. But the cur
rent goes into the ground and
not through you when the ma
chine is grounded.
Finish your shopping before
getting to the checkout counter
Watch the register as the
cashier records prices. Anyone
can make an unintentional mis
take.
If you discover that the bill
exceeds the amount you wanted
to spend, ask the cashier to de
duct some of the items no
need to be embarrassed.
Count your change immedia
tely. An error is better correct
ed before you leave the store.

Temperature Important In Canning Foods
Using heat in canning is one method to
prevent food spoilage. Amount of heat need
ed to preserve foods depends on the type of
food you’re canning.
Foods can be classified by their acid
strength. Some acid foods are fruits, sauer
kraut, and tomatoes. Most vegetables are low
acid foods.
Molds and yeasts which thrive in acid
foods are destroyed by boiling water.
Bacteria, found more often in low-acid or
nonacid foods, are more difficult to destroy.
Thermophiles, a type of bacteria, grows and
resists destruction at high temperatures. They
also form spores which can resist heat up to THOMAS
240 degrees. You destroy them gradual buildup of food films
