High-bush cranberry! Just a
bout time to be (pddk&ng them in
this area — still at the under
ripe stage so the aroma is less
unpleasant when they are cook
ed. Or haven’t you tried cook
ing high-bush cranberries?
These berries are highly priz
ed as a jelly, jam and catsup
fruit. The high-hush craniberry
juice also makes an excellent
beverage tho’ it’s less desirable
for pie and sauce because of
the large flat seeds. The flavor
is best if berries are picked'
when half ripe and still firm.
They are certainly more plea
sant to cook at this stage.
The jelly ma'de from the hilgh
bush craniberry is a beautiful,
sparkling red. A perfect text
ured jelly can be obtained with
out the addition of pectin.
To extract the juice, berries
are simmered with 3 cups of
water to each pound of ber
ries (2 cups). 'Mash as they
cook and boil 3 to 5 minutes.
Strain through a jelly bag.
The juice should be reheated
suiter straining and sealed in
sterilized jars to be made into
jelly as needed.
2r. crp sugar to 1 cup juice
is the pircrrodtion recommended

PUBLIC SCHOOL
OPENING INFORMATION
Bus routes for Sitka public
schools will be operated this
year as follows:
On the Sawmill Creek route
the 'bus will be at the Thimble
berry Lake /turn-around at a
, bout 8:05 a. m. and will pro
1 ceed toward town from that

the bus will be at the Murray
LaCour residence at 8:32 a. m
and will proceed towlard town

Within the first week there

slight changes in this time

number of stars and in the
time of school opening and
closiing.
Williaim Wyires has the bus
contract again this year and
?;he coonention of both parents
and students will fbe greatly
Finereci/ated. When the time is
| definitely set for the stop at a
j home, parents are asked to be
i certain the child is at the bus
i stop. It is Impossible for the
driver to wait more than a
few mordents, as it upsets^ the
I entire schedule and forces
| those youngsters who are on
schedule to wait for some time
in the rain or cold or to go
back into their homes, which
' again causes delay.
| T. J. Cole, superintendent of
schools, again reminds parents
j of kindergarten children that
| those whose la9t names begin
| with letters ‘“LA.” through “L”
bring their children to the 9 a.
; m. session and those whose
j last names begin with “M”
I through “Z” (bring their young
| sters at 1 p. m. There miay be
; changes within the (first week,
| but in order to properly regis
i ter the youngsters this sched
I ule is necessary. Also it is nec
; essary that a parent accompany
| easih kindergarten and grade
one child.
Children attending kinder
I garten from the (bus routes
j Will be brought to school if in j
j the morning session, but will j
[ not be returned to their homes i
; when the session closes art 11 :
| a. m. Those kindergarten chil
1 dren enrolled in the afternoon
session will be taken home at
4 p. m., if arrangements have
not been made by parents to
see that they are borne at 3 p.
m. when the session end's.
