TALKING ABOUT BIRDS, FLOWERS -- Dalton Walpole of Strathroy was the guest speaker at Tuesday's Kirkton Horticultural Society's flower show, Above, Mr. Walpole who spoke on our area's native birds chats with treasurer Jean Lynn and president Jean Copeland. T -A photo. Poisoning was common in early canning days By ;Michelle Marcotte • University educated home economists have been pro- viding practical andtechnical information on food preserva- tion in the home for decades. In the years just before World War I there were very few women attending Cana- dian universities. It was a time when young women re- quired parental permission for further education and when many subject areas in universities were open only to men. Ilome Economics or Household -Science or Domestic Science were courses open to women. Women were able to convince their parents that this form of higher education could be useful., • From this group of women came the first research on safe, successful food preser- vation, done by home economists working at the Department of Agriculture. It was a very important topic then, when fresh pro- duce was available only in the summer and `ptomaine' poisoning was a common occurrence. In 1917 two graduates of }fousehold Science from Mac- donald College in Montreal. Laura Kirkby and Margaret Macfarlane, started ex- periments to assist in the con- servation of food at the Divi- sion of horticulture. Their results were distributed in a bulletin published in 1919 en- titled Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables for Home Use and through lectures on these new methods of applying science to home manage- ment. Canning, drying, salting, pickling and jelly making were covered kr many fruits and vegetables. Canning was considered the most practical and economical method of preser- ving quantities of fruits and vegetables for home use at that lime. Glass jars were of the spring top type with glass lids and rubber rings that had to be replaced each year. Those jars are now collectors' items. This research was con- tinually updated with infor- mation on new varieties of fruits and vegetables, new recipes for preserved food and as new scientific developments of nutrient retention in heat processing became evident. Edith Elliot of the Fruit Branch published in 1924 a booklet -32 Fruits and Vegetables; Canning. Drying and Storing. This publication also included recipes for preserves, pickles and relishes which were published separately in 1937 in Jams. Jellies and Pickles by Lillian Henney and Edith Elliot. In 1944 Wartime Home Can- ning of Fruits and Vegetables appeared in patriotic red, white and blue. Two hundred thousand copies were distributed that year and •it was used in conjunction with numerous canning demonstrations across Canada. It was produced by the newly formed (1939) Con- sumer Section of Marketing Service under the direction of Laura Pepper, a former home economist with the Dairy Branch. Pepper was later to be rewarded with the Order of the British Empire for her work with the Wartime Prices Review Board. Agriculture Canada has continued to develop, test and revise its instructions, methods and recipes for food preservation methods. The traditional methods of cann- ing, jam. jelly and pickle making are still popular but the top position has been slow- ly taken over by freezing since the introduction of home freezers 30 years ago.
