Winter Apples At Their Best From Cold Storage February l began the Ontar- io Winter Apple Festival, when apples from last fall's crop, one of the biggest and best in years move from cold storage to mar- ket, and are at their peak. Such varketiees as Spies, Mc- Intosh, Greening, Cortland, Del- icious, Winesap and Golden Del- icious, •among others, grew un- der ideal conditions for a long- er growing period than usual, due to the fine fall weather. They are ideal as a dessert fruit, for cooking, and for spec- ial desserts. For those on a diet they provide a low -calorie and tasty substitute for more fat- tening foods. They are good for the teeth and gums. and fav- ourable tests have 'been carried out by dentists that prove their tooth cleansing properties. Apples are nutrious, and provide many of the vitamins, Minerals, and other elements needed by growing youngsters. They make an ideal lunch tbrox dessert, and between - meal snack, and won't spoil appetites. This fine Ontario home- grown fruit is also processed and canned as juice, some of it fortified with Vitamin C. This contains at leash 35 milli- grams of Vitamin C per 100 c.c.'s of apple juice. This forti- fied juice taken in large quan- tities has been recommended for sufferers from the 'com- mon; cold. Improvements in keeping qualities and storage facilities make it possible now for ap- ples to be marketed all year, and improved packaging such as the development of poly- ethylene bags and other pack- ages that safeguard the quality of the fruit ensure top condi- tion when it reaches the con- sumer. Canadian apples have found favor all over the world, and have helped to improve Cana- da's export position; Crocker Warns Against Joining At the February 12 meeting of the board of directors for FAME the plant committee was given !authority to do the final. .dhecking on architects pend hire their choice, to. begin drab ig blue prints for FAME plants..

There were, of course, appos- ing forces. When suiciale is contemplated, (in this case of an organization), how do the parrticipaants know that they will be better off? The opponents seem to have fond dreams of and supporters to have 'fears of returning to the "good old days". I would like to -assure you that we will not return to the "good old days". The clock just does not turn backwards. We will advance either to better things or we will revert to something worse than the past.

It may be said that fanners, 14r order to meet fixed costs have put hr another cow or two, but in Ontario when prices decline production drops, when prices rise production Would we not be justified in coneludfng that it is pro- oessotr• inftluence that has ruin- ed the btxoiler and turkey in- dustunies and is prc^.,cntly follow- ing the same pattern in diairy production? Farm Forums In Canada Favour Teletype Ontario fanners are general- ly satisfied with present tele- type system of selling hogs, ac- cording to reports received from Ontario Farm Forums, after they discussed "Market- ing by Teletype" on 'February 12. Main reason for .approval, as stated by the Forums, is that this was the fairest way of selling for both the producer and the proses o', because it allowed for competitive bidding. Paint of dissatisfaction rais- ed bygroups, both for and agarinst teletype ma`•'ktet' ing, was tthe diiffereetial in price paid foe the some grade on the same day. R eeville Farm For- um in Waterloo County stated: "We think teletype marketing a good syts en. A ,minor fault is that tall producers of the same grade of hogs do not al- ways receive the same price on any given day.,, The Forums agreed eampeti.- tive bidding on all farm com- modities would improve the price but they were a little skeptical an how this could be accomplished', particularly When it came' to perishable items. • More than 50 percent of those reporting stated eggs could be sold satisfactorily through a teletype system. Two thirds of the Forums re- porting, thought that a nation- al .marketing system could be organized using the teletype method. They favoured the idea because it would equalize prices generally and would tend to prevent collusion be- tween buyers. Those not in favour of a national marketing system operated by teletype, stated they needed to know more about this method before pass- ing an opinion. Others said production varies too much across Canada and transporta- tion and cliimatic conditions world be a problem.

Skates Needed For Eskimo Kids More skates are urgently needed to fill the hopes of Can- ada's Eskimo children.. Residents of southern Ontar- io are asked to take outgrown and not needed skates to Cities Service service stations where they will be ;collected and sent to the Arctic. "We • have been swamped with requests far skates from Eskimo communities", said +out- dborsman, King White, sponsor of the programs "The Depart- ment of Northern Affairs art first estimated a requirement for 2.500 pairs but we have al- ready had requests for more than 3,500 pairs. As near • as we can estimate to date, only 1,000 pairs have been donated. "We are convinced there are still many pairs of skates lying around unused. All it takes is for dad' rta remember ,to.. take them out of the basement and put them in his car so he can drop them into the service sta- tion", Mr. Whyte suggested. "Witch all the ice they have up there and the long winter, who knows but we might have some of these Eskimo lacus pl- aying NHL hockey in a few years" he added.
