Plans and estimates for a 3-bed hospital were prepared and the South Huron Hospital association formed to carry on the work.

The community took over the task of letting contracts and secured the assistance of local a REMINISCING dealers and merchants in obtaining supplies at cost, thus effecting substantial savings.

Today's housewives make so few pickles that when you strike a jar that really tastes good, and you say, "Dear, these are good, let's make a lot more next year". What does the better half say? You guessed it, "Oh, I don't remember how I made those, that is a recipe I got from my girl- friend, cousin Nostalgia, and I have lost it". You never see or taste that type again. Yes, the pickling season is here again. This is the pickling season, and many an unsusupecting breadwinner will present himself for supper these nights, only to find friend wife up to her ears in sweet pickles, dill pickles, nine day pickles, and a hundred and one other concoctions that only fertile female mind could contrive. Yes, the pickling season is here again and once more housewives and cooks everywhere are subjecting themselves arid their families to the sometimes sweet, and sometimes sour, smelling odours that pour out of the pickle kettles, Like so many of our earlier habits, this business of pickling is not the event, not the important season that it used to be. Back in the days B.C, (before cans) the housewife had to can all her own vegetables and fruits, It was very few cellars that didn't have at least a couple of hundred quarts of fruit or pickles, lining the shelves along the wall. There was no other way to store these delicious preserves ,and along with the salt pork barrel, the sauer kraut barrel, and the potato bin, most of the winter foods were stored therein. Now, the housewife either buys her canned fruits and vegetables, or makes use injuries, the full extent of which are of the cold storage locker. Times are not known at time of writing. changing.
