The second year. in 1969, Walter purchased a building in Belmore, set up three oil -fired evaporators, a steam boiler, and a steam finishing pan. He loaned the outfit to the com- munity, and with 1,000 more taps, 950 gallons of maple syrup were made. Most of this syrup was sold art retail, bur some was used on 2,- 250 pancake dinners at the Bel - more Maple Syrup Festival, and another 800 pancake dinners be- fore the festival. The net amount raised for the community was $7,200. In 1970 ana 1971; the enterprise was run at a central plant by Walter Renwick. He tapped over 3.000 trees in his own bush. and purchased as much sap as possible. He found that prices paid for sap as recommended in the Maple Syrup Producers' Manual (5 cents per Canadian gallon. for 2 per cent sap) were not attractive enough for the sap producers. He now pays on a schedule with the basic price at 7 cents. - About 1,200 gallons of maple syrup were made by Before Maple Products in 1970 and more than 1,000 in 1971. Most of this was sold right at the plant at re- tail. The community still has a maple syrup festival and pan- cake day with the profits going to community work. The pancakes, sausages, and pure Belmore maple syrup are served under the new ,.roof of the Belmore Arena, paid for by making use of a natu- ral resource.
