DAILY NEWS Ration Board Tells How to Make Canning Sugar Supply Last Longer The pair fled from the camp between 8:15 and 10 p. m. Wednesday night. They are believed to have made their way to Rhinelander through the woods and on highways and took the Watkins car from the parking lot sometime after 11:30 p. m.

The automobile was reported missing by Watkins at 6:10 a. m. yesterday when he finished his 12 to 6 shift at the paper mill. Authorities in nearby counties were notified immediately, and their arrest was made less than 21 hours after they escaped. A $50 reward was offered for the capture of either of the pair.

They, too, were recaptured within a short Craig at Grand Rapids, and Roxbury at Milwaukee. They have been returned to Waupun. Sub Sinks Ship In Costa Rica Port SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, July A submarine attacked Puerto Limon tonight (presumably with its deck gun) sinking a vessel, the San Pablo which was at dock discharging its cargo For housewives who want to make their canning sugar allotment hist longer, the Oneida county rationing board today gave out eight tips, which, if followed, will keep frui! cellar shelves "stocked as usual" in spite of the first food rationing in United States history. 1.

All fruits will keep if canned without any sugar so no fruit need to go to waste summer. Sugar may be added When the fruit is used. (Small amounts should be saved from the weekly allowance. To do this, desserts with little su- 1 gar will be used extensively.) 2. Since sugar does help retain the flavor, color, and shape of the fruit, it is wise to can each quart with at least a small amount of sugar per quart.

A little more sugar may be added when served. 3. Juicy fruits, such as berries, cherries, currants and plums, should bo canned in their own juices when sugar is omitted. Water is not required. Extract the juice from the riper fruits by crushing, heating, and straining.

Pack the remaining fruits closely into jars without preheating, and add boiling hot juice to cover. Adjust covers and process in hot water bath according to the recommended time. The less juicy fruits, such as apples, peaches, and pears, when canned without sugar require the addition of water, but only the smallest possible amount is advisable. 4. Canned fruit juices rqay be put up to serve as breakfast fruit.

Fruit juices may be canned unsweetened to use as sugar permits, in making up small batches of jelly. Remember that the food value of jams, jellies and preserves, is just energy value, plus the pleasant sweet taste. Fruits canned as sauces and served as fruit juices to drink are more nutritious. 5. not attempt to can with brown sugar.

6. Honey and syrup may be substituted for sugar. Honey is a strong-flavored food, and the amount used must be watched. Honey and syrup may replace all of the sugar, measure for measure, or any portion of it. One-third to one-half is a good proportion.

Saccharin cannot be used successfully in canning because heat makes it bitter. 7. A heavy syrup should not be used on fruits this year. A little sweetening will enrich the flavor, but too much will bury it. 8.

Fruits retain their natural appearance, shape, and food value best when processed in the hot water bath. They should either be packed hot or covered with hot juice. The open kettle, oven, and pressure canned methods may also be used. Cebula Confesses Antigo Auto Theft Victor Cebula, 24-year-old Rhinelander fugitive from state prison now being held in the county jail at Marinette, has signed a confession that he broke into Warren's garage at Antigo on June 20 and stole a Lincoln Zephyr automobile Langlade County Dist. Atty.

Rex M. Smith and Sheriff Carl Monroe reported yesterday. Cebula has been held in the Marinette jail since he was captured vv near Goodman on June 22, one day after he engaged in a gun battle with a sheriff's posse near Pem- bme. His companion, Douglas Mount, also of Rhinelander, was fatally shot in the clash. Cebula's confession of the automobile theft contradicts a statement he gave to Oneida County Sheriff Adolph Kushman on June 22 Cebula denied at that time that he went from Rhinelander to Antigo before going to Pembine.

He said he went directly to Pembine by train and met Mount there Michigan state police also questioned Cebula Wednesday about a tire theft ring in which a group of other youths is implicated It is believed that Cebula will be turned over to the warden of the state prison at Waupun and probably will face an additional sentence for deserting the prison camp at Cambridge last March. Cebula still has about four years to serve of his original term imposed in Lincoln county court Sept. 22, 1941, for breaking and entering u- De ai ers wil1 be filled against him by both Langlade and Marinetto counties, Dist. Atty. Smith said.

Lions Concede Superiority No date yet has been set for that scheduled Softball game between the Lions club and the Rhinelander Co-eds, but a few magnanimous Lions were overheard discussing the contest today. They tentatively decided that because of the obvious advantage on the side of the stronger, meaning masculine, sex. it might be advisable for the Lions to spot the girls several runs at the outset or to play through the game throwing and batting left-handed.

The reaction of the girls to this idea is awaited, bashfully. Hazelhurst Far Over USO Quota The town of Hazelhurst has exceeded its $50 USO quota by $38.75, John Schutz, county USO chairman, reported today upon receipt of $88.75 from chairmen of the drive there. The contribution was sent 'by E. E. Terrell, co-chairman with John Schwartz.

Terrell's letter said: "Here is $88.75. This represents the donations of 62 individuals out of a total of 87 solicited. I handled this solicitation entirely alone and by mail. I consider this a remarkable showing of true Americanism in a little town like this. "They set a quota of $50 for us.

But this response is not unusual for Hazelhurst. We always exceed our quota in every worthy cause." Chairman Schutz expressed his ihanks for the generous contribu- lion, and urged chairmen in other towns who have not yet made reports to do so at once. It is hoped that the campaign will be closed soon, and it is possible that the county quota of $2,500 will be filled, he said. Canning Sugar. Blanks Arrive Application blanks and certificates for canning sugar sent for earlier in the week have arrived, the Oneida county rationing board declared today.

Applications for canning sugar will be taken by a deputy board which meets in the rationing board office at 7-A South Brown street beginning Monday for two, weeks. This deputy board will meet Monday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons between 1 and 4 p. m. until July 17. It will be staffed by women who volunteered to work on boards formerly held at Curran, South Park, McCord, and Central schools.

Persons wishing to apply for canning sugar must do so within the next two weeks, the board announced. The certificates for canning sugar may be used at any time during the canning season, the board advises. It is not necessary to buy the sugar immediately after obtaining the certificate. The sugar need not be purchased umll needed. The board announced today that 3,092 applications for canning sugar were received during the month of June.

This means that somewhat over 5,000 certificates were issued because as many as five certificates were issued for some applicants. Laborers and Carpenters Are Urgently Needed The need for carpenters, laborers, imd cement finishers in the Madison area is so acute that the U. S. employment service here has a standing permit to send as many ellgiblo men as possible there immediately, Gilbert Sanborn, manager, said today. The naval radio school, the army air corps school, and the Merrimac powder plant are the three projects causing the labor shortage, explained Sanborn.

"To 'try to meet the demand for these types of workers the employment office sent out 300 cards today to men on their inactive list," he said, Anyone who does not renew his application for work with the office within 30 days automatically is transferred the inactive list. If these cards fail to find enough workers, the employment office will try to find the interested persons through occupational questionnaires filled out by draft registrants, Sanborn asserted. "This is a service to find workers for jobs, and if a man wants to go to Madison to work, it will be on his voluntary decision," he declared. Carpenters and cement finishers who go to Madison will have to join the unions, paying a permit fee of $10 and $5 respectively, he said. Laborers do not have to pay a permit fee, but do have to join the union after receiving their first pay check.

Officers Warn Against Mishaps Over Holidays Chief of Police J. J. Hack and Officer Merrill Hibbard of the Orteida county traffic department today joined with Hugh M. Jones, commissioner of the state motor Vehicle department, in warning citizens that whether they stay at home or go away on trips over the Fourth of July week-end, they must be on guard against accidents. Chief Hack asked parents to keep close watch over their children, especially if they attend large gatherings.

In the excitement of play, boys and girls sometimes do unexpected things. In parks, at band concerts and parades and even family picnics, youngsters get excited and frequently expose themselves to danger unwittingly. Officer Hibbard urged motorists, bicyclists and hikers to heavily traveled arteries of traffic. Persons out for short rides should take the rriore scenic side roads, where their leisurely movement will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic. County highway police and state traffic, patrol officers throughout Wisconsin will be on.

the alert to traffic moving smoothly, especially in areas where war workers are busy with construction and in the vicinity of army camps.
