Huron Presbyterial Met At Thames Rd. Continued From rase One acutely awake. She asked how our country will be able to meet its war effort if we continue to squander so much in liquor. The equivalent of from fifteen to twenty battleships has been spent in liquor each year dur- ing the last fifteen years. Sirs. Dalrymple of Brucefield led in prayer, dedicating our work. The literature was introduced by Mrs. W. P. Newman, Following the report of the nominating committee the offic- ers for the ensuing year were elect- ed. M1 departments held noon con- ferences after the usual splendid dinner served by Thames Road. Mrs, R. G. Nay and Mrs. G. G. Burton led the worship service which commenced the afternoon session. The theme was "Strengthening Chris- tian forces through our effort to pro- mote the world church of Jesus Christ as the chief agency for inter- national righteousness and peace." Mrs. W. P. Lane, Goderich, con- ducted the "In Memoriam" service in honor of the 26 beloved members who had passed on in the year. Told Of Northern Ontario The guest speaker for the day was Miss S. Smythe who was introduced by Mrs. C. Tavener. Miss Smythe has spent a number of years as „worker at large" in Cochrane Presbytery and she very graphically described. this work and the conditions in that. part of northern Ontario. Community friendship work and Christian educa- tion were her two main lines of en- deavour. The vacation schools had a very important place in this work. They showed the need for regular schools and Sunday Schools, and quite frequently these followed. Much of Miss Smythe's work was done among people from Southern Ontario who had gone north on the "Back to the Land" project.

Chunks of treat were wrapped in waterproof paper. enoughin each anlage to matte emea for the package g I a t a 1 Pickering family. Each was elated and labelled as to contents. All these were listed on an inventory card. For this service the farmer. of coarse, _paid a price. It cost hire 3 cents a pound to have this lard ren- dered; vatting and wrapping carne 1.0 1 cent a pound, sausage griniling-an- anter cent. After wrapping, the packages were moved to the locker room, which is held above zero. Attendants use a master key to get in Pi"kering's locker and store away his packaged pork for future use. Vegetables require speedy careful handling IC garden freshness is to he preserved. This job usually falls to the housewife. Peas and asparagus will illustrate how it is dole. Asplu'- agus Is gathered and carried to the kitchen, where it is cleaned, Then it is immersed inboiling water for two minutes. This is a vastly important step. This scalding inhibits the ac- tion of the ferments which cause spoilage. Next the asparagus is dried and packed in containers—perhaps one quart waxed cartons. Peas are handled in much the sante manner but packaged in cheaper ice-cream buckets. After packing, these vege- tables are chilled in the home Ice- box until ready to be transported to the locker plant where they are placed in the locker. The lower the temperature main- tained in the storage room, the bet- ter for the products. At 40 degrees below zero the action of the ferment ceases almost eutirely, and vege- tables and meats will keep indefin- itely. But cost of maintaining such a temperature is far too high. About zero appears to be satisfactory from all points of view. At this level the action of ferments is only half what it is at 15 degrees F, Chemical action goes on but at too slow a pace to do much damage. Most foods will keep from six months to a year, Fine For City. Folks, Too Although they were designed pri- marily for use by farmers city and town people are Treating about a quarter of the million locket's now In service, Since they don't raise their awn food for storage, they must buy it.. Boarding-houses, hospitals, hotels and clubs are enthusiastic locker suers. Vegetables are picked up in the summer when they are cheap. Meats are ordinarily purchased from the manager of the locker. Almost anything can be stored -- even butter and 'eggs—provided cer- tain simple rules are followed; and provided the locker renter has taken care toselectvarieties of vegetables that are well adapted to freezing. Cote on the cob, spinach. brussels sprouts. are excellent, Raspberries. blueberries and strawberries handle nicely. Berries and fruits Inc usually packed in dry sugar or sugar syrup. This keeps oxygen away from the surface so that they don't blacken. in some eases patrons prefer to balte fruits into pies, and then store the. pies. Nearly all perishable foods can be handled in the locker plants, with the exception of tomatoes, pears and watermelons. el Melons. In Seaforth, Mr. Barber of the Sea - forth Creamery, who is constructing the new complete locker storage plant, ]las insisted upon every poss- ible convenience and device in the production of refrigeration equip- ment. The foods in storage and the patrons of the locker piant and in the entire history of the Industry. plants such as these as is being built in Seaforth have created a vast de- mand for lockers. Just Freeze it And Leave It As they stand today the plants IC. present the first significant change in recent times in the handling and storage of farm foods. Benefits. of course, can be enormous. The farm wife escapes the drudgery ff can- ning vegetables, preserving fruits' and cold -packing meats. Butchering cows and bogs. once limited to the winter, can now take place at any time. The farmer has a new variety of foods to eat the year round, and most of these foods are far richer in vitamins than his usual diet. Figures of saving that accrue to locker users vary widely. One un- biased survey indicated 330.00. To get some notionof bow it operates, let's start with Farmer Pickering renting one of these kick- ers . Last July, with pork price:: low, he decided to butcher a hog and lay in a supply of reasonably priced meat for his family. By but- chering then instead of waiting for the cold weather, he saved a nice feed bill. Since be was busy with his crops he decided to turn the whole job over to the locker plant. In his own truck he delivered the bog. The butcher in attendance took charge. For a fee of 31 he slaught- ered the animal and hung it in the "chill" room.

HOG SUBSIDY IN EFFECT ON MAY 5T1-4 Will Be Paid on Hog Carcasses "A" and "B1" in Approved- Plants The Ontario Government hog sub- sidy of $1 per hog carcass grading "A", and 50 cents per hog carcass grading "Bi" will apply on all hogs slaughtered in approved plants on and after Monday, May 5th. This subsidy will apply on hog carcasses graded 111 packing plants where a Dominion Government hog grader is in charge of grading operations, or in smaller plants which have been ap- proved by the Ontario minister of agriculture. Grading will be done ac- cording to the standards as defined in Dominion hog grading regulations. What The Farmer Must Do To secure the subsidy the farmer must have his hogs identified so that the carcasses can be graded and a grading certificate issued in his name. In addition he must obtain from the drover, packing plant or shipper•, this grading certificate signed by the grader, naming the grades of the carcasses marketed. The next step is to secure an ap- plication form from either his ship- per, packing plant or agricultural re- presentative. and fill it out. He then attaches all grading statements he has received to application form and mails both to the Hog Subsidy Division, Ontario Department of Agriculture. Parliament Buildings, Toronto. It is most important to remember that all grading certificates and ap- plications for subsidy must be for- warded to the Dept. of Agriculture at Toronto within sixty days of the time the certificates are issued.
