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;

There were, of course, appos-

The opponents seem to have
fond dreams of and supporters

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.
Temptation may be strong,
but it seldom overtakes the
man who runs from it.
