This at­ titude is perhaps responsible for the failure of many families to’ eat as much fruit as they should, states R.; D. L. Bligh, Assistant in Pomology, Dominion Experimental Station, at Kentville, N.S. Nevertheless, fruits do belong to the group of “protect­ ive fruits” — fruit, vegetables, milk, eggs — around which diets should be built and a liberal amount of fruit in the .daily fare is a good health insur­ ance. The war has disrupted the orderly movement of Canadian apples to the export markets. As a result an ab­ normal quantity of high quality apples will be available for Canadian, mar­ kets. “ ■ It should be the patriotic duty of every Canadian householder to use Canadian-grown fruit, especially ap­ ples, in-their diet - to the exclusion of many imported fruit? or apples grown elsewhere.
