Read how buying Ontario1
saves you fooadollars
Ontario’s good summer crops of vegetables and fruits are in the
stores now. Many are fresh—cabbage, carrots, apples, potatoes,
parsnips, rutabagas and more. Others are canned or frozen. But
all of them bring you the good taste for which Ontario produce is
famous. If you compare the prices of these Ontario foods with
prices of imports, it’s easy to see why Ontario fruits and vege
tables are one of the good food bargains in your store.
And not only do you get good value when you buy Ontario
products, you also help strengthen Ontario’s economy.

Dolores Shapton and Jean
Neil have accepted the

Several toe tapping numbers
were then played by Penny
and Harvey Smith and Doug
Lewis.
Irene Haugh then read the
motto: “It wasn’t raining
when Noah built the ark.” To
illustrate this she used a tape
recording of the story of the
Ant and the Grasshopper
making it easy for both the
young and old to understand.
It being family night Mrs.
