usually tops in quality--and pro-
duce a top quality canned product.
If you've just picked up your
canning peaches at the market, go
over them carefully. Don't can
those with. bruises and blenishes.
One 18-pound box or flat should
yield 7 to 8 quarts of canned fruit.
Work with small quantities at
a time. This is especially import-
ant in keeping the fruit from turn-
ing dark,
To make peeling easier, dip the
peaches into boiling water for ,a
ininute or two to loosen the skins.
(A wire basket or cheesecIoth
bag makes this easier.) Then dip
the peaches immediately into cold
water, cut in half, slip out the pit,
and slip off the skins. /
Drop qmcmy into a gallon of
cold water containing two table-
spoonfuls each of salt and vinegar.
(That's also to help keep the
peaches from turning dark.)
Drain enough for one jar or can
and put immediately into boiling
hot sirup. Just heat through--
allowing enough room in the ket-
tle so you can easily and careful-
ly turn over the peach halves or

off air and helps prevent Vitamin

, After jars are cool, inspect t/d
test seal, label, and store. It's also
a good idea to give jars a follow-
up inspection within the month.
Add Vitamin C
If you want to spend 5 or 6
cents more per quart, you can make
canned peaches a good source of
Vitamin C as well as Vitamin A.
5ust add Vitamin C tablets while
your canning'. The Vitamin 13
tablets will also help the centred
fruit keep its fresh color.
When canning with Vitamin C
tablets, put them in the jar 0r
can before the fruit and sirup are
acked in, ant the fruit processed.

for each quart jar--or 5
tgblets of the 50 milligram or I0
of the 25 milligram strength.
There are three main reasons
whY. canned peaches turn dark,
thereby losing texture, flavor, and
appetite appeal, Miss Eckblad
says. Darkness tlroughout tle
jar or can usually shows over pro-
cessing or slow cooling.
Darkness just on top shows lbb0r
seal or under processing• Dark-
ness in peaches during the canning
process indicates either poor fruit
or poor handling,

taker status, and probably as stu-
dies progress they will be used
to test the various methods de-
veloped for removing radiological
contamination.
The submarines Skipjack and
Skate are being retained at Mare,
:Island for special decohtamination
studieS.
The target vessels surviving
from the second test were heav-'
ily contaminated by the radioac-
tive materials contained in the
spray which was deposited on
them.
Until these radioactive mater-
ials are removed by means of
decontamination methods, the
ships will be unsafe for perm-
anent 'occupancy, but personnel
can work on board them and stay
for a limited period provided cer-
tain special safety precautions
promulgated by the Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery arc follow-
ed. These same precautions will
be followed also at the various
shipyards where the ships will be
studied by the navy•
The study and development of
effective means of radiological de-
contamination is one of the most
important projects being under-
taken by the navy in its program
of preparation against atomic
warfare. The work is being done
by the navy* department in co-
operation with the Atomic Energy
Commission,
The Bureau of Ships has es-
tablished a Radiation Laboratory
at the San Francisco Naval Ship-
yard to prosecute the research
and development phases of the
program, and close liasion i
maintained with the Radiation
Laboratory of the University of
