Berry Picking Time
Suggestions Offered by
Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Hansen
Berry picking time is here for
Alaskans who harvest the wild
blueberries and both low- and
high-busli cranberries.
Berries that are frozen retain
more vitamins than canned or
dried berries, Mrs. Lydia Fohn
Hansen remands homemakers.
Mrs. Fohn-Hansen is Extension
Service associate director for
home demonstration work.
As an easy preserving method,
she suggests homemakers freeze
berries in pectin. To do this, mix
thoroughly one package of pow
dered pectin with one cup water
and * boil one minute. Add one
third cup sugar and dissolve. Add
enough cold water to make vol
ume up to two cups. Chill mixture
and pour over whole berries; then
freeze.
Crushed berry puree makes an
excellent topping for ice cream,
puddings or base for a gelatin
dessert. The puree may be frozen,
Mrs. Fohn-Hansen said.
To make the puree, crush ber
ries with a potato masher or put
through a perforated food sieve.
Mix six cups fruit puree with two
cups sugar and three tablespoons
lemon juice. Stir until sugar is
Russia to Reduce
Armed Forces
MOSCOW, im—'The official So
viet news agency Tass said Friday
the government has decided on a
reduction in Russian armed forces
as a further step to lessen inter
national tension and establish
confidence among nations.
The actual strength of Russia’s
armed forces has never been dis
closed officially. A British spokes
man in London Saturday estimat
ed the total armed forces at
4,750,000 men. He listed the
strength as: army 3,200,000; air
force 800,000; navy 750,000.
Russia announced two weeks
ago its armed forces would be cut
by 44,000 men—the number of
troops being withdrawn from
Austria under the terms of the
Austrian independence treaty.
Russia said the Soviet troops
would be out of Austria by Oct. 1,
about a month ahead of the treaty
withdrawal deadline.

Alaska to Get
$77,240 Under
Polio Vaccine Law
WASHINGTON, IB—The U.S.
Public Health Service announced
Friday that Alaska will be allot
ed $77,240 under the $30 million
polio vaccine aid law signed by
President Eisenhower. Hawaii re
ceives $100,359.
The law provides for allocation
of the funds under a formula in
volving the number of unvaccin
ated children under age 20 and
expectant mothers in each state,
the relative per capita income of
the state, and the per capita cost
of vaccine.
Of the 30 million dollars appro
priated by Congress, $25 million
is set aside for the purchase of
vaccine only. Five million dollars
may be used for the costs of
planning and conducting polio
immunization programs, or for
purchase of vaccine. The funds
are to be used by Feb. 15, 1956.
Under the law a single official
agency in each state will be des
ignated for the program and will
submit a plan to the Public Health
Service when applying for its
allocated payment.
Surgeon General Scheele has
already asked the state governors
for the names of the agencies that
will supervise the program in
each state and territory.
The law specifically restricts
the use of vaccine purchased with
federal aid funds to pregnant
women and to children under 20,
and provides that no means test
may be used to determine eligi
bility.
