University, Montreal, auth- orities disclosed they have received' suggestions for a more extensive ut- ilization of Canadian products to feed Canadian troops overseas. The sug- gestions have been forwaraed to the proper authorities at Ottawa. One of the suggestions calls for the canning of thousands of pounds of. Canadian butter for the troops overseas. It is suggested canning would be benefi- cial in that the troops would have o. health -giving supply of butter under all weather conditions at ease Z'ront and at the same time Canadian rarer ers would have a more extended mar- ket. Another suggestion called for the canning of fish in the form of fish chowder. McGill experts say this would be feasible and that the pro- duct would be palatable, no ursshing and easily transported and served.
