ANSWER Edwin Hoffman, 10 Woodcrest Way, Landenberg, Chester Co., has several hundred Mason can ning jars, mainly quart sizes, and large pressure canners. He wants to dispose of them, but the auctioneers in his area say there is no market for them and wanted recommendations of what to do with the jars. Thanks to J. Vukas. who writes to suggest that he put an ad in this newspaper, perhaps selling the jars by the dozens. Vukas writes that she is always looking for canning jars at yard sales, but that someone right ahead of her always buys them so there must be a need out there. Quart sizes usually sell for about $8 new so make the price reasonable and Vukas is certain the jars will sell. “There are still some of us ‘canners’ out here,” Vukas writes.

Come back, Aroon to the land of thy birth, Come with the shamrocks and springtime Mavoumeen, And its Killamey shall ring with our mirth. Sure, when we sent ye to beautiful England, Little we thought of the lone winter days. Little we thought of the hush of the starling, Over the mountain, the bluffs and the bays! Chorus: Then come back to Erin, Mavoumeen, Ma- voumeen, Come back again to the land of thy birth. Come back to Erin, Mavoumeen, Mavour neen. And its Killamey shall ring with our mirth. Over the green sea, Mavoumeen, Mavour neen, Long shone the white sail that bore thee away, Riding the white waves that fair summer momin’. Just like a Mayflow’r afloat on the bay.
