FORGET THE DIETS - Horne -baked pies, tarts and candy tempted the palates of
visitors to the. annual Bean Festival on Saturday. Despite the weather, the Kippen
East Women's Institute did a great business.
(continued from page 1)
until Saturday.
The cooked beans are
placed in long, wooden crates
and stored in a huge cooler
to await the final baking dur-
ing the last two days when
about 600 pounds of sugar.
200 pounds of salt and 150
cases of ketchup and tomato
juice are added.
Then they are transferred
to the "ovens" --nine old
refrigerators, stripped and
equipped with oven elements
and flippd on their backs to
bake the beans.
When the fridge door opens

Seat belts not only protect -
they keep you secure and
better balanced in your seat
while you drive.
Register your name and ad-
dress against the serial
number on your new tires, so
that manufacturer can get in
touch with you if necessary.
Now we've seen everything -
special carseat for the dog, so
he can see out the window.
If the idle speed is too high,
there may be a clashing noise
when going into reverse on a
manual -transmission car.
More safety in your car -
there's now a small carbon
monoxide indicator that
changes color in the presence
of noxious gases.
More safety in your car is our prime
concern at Larry Sniders. Our
mechanics work to make sure your car
is running at its best. Drive in for ex-
pert service.

ils to dampen spirits
ed beans filters through the
"kitchen" --an old warehouse.
Even Saturday, despite
the downpour, that aroma
brought the people back,
making organizers laugh at
their early -morning fears.
"Knew they'd all come...
never worried at all, what else
can you do on a rainy day...
told you we'd have no probl-
ems.,,
Activities first got under
way in the village at 8 a.m.
when the Zurich Minor Athlet-
ic Association served a pan-
cake and sausage breakfast
to early visitors. They continu=
ed their breakfast until 11
a.m. when the main dish of
the day, homebaked beans,
appeared on the scene.
A11 the white beans used in
the food preparation were
donated by the Ontario Bean
Producer's Marketing Board,
Cook's Division of Gerbro
Corp., W.G. Thompson and
Sons Ltd., and the Hensall
District Co -Operative.
Throughout the afternoon
continuous entertainment
was provided for the visitors
at the Zurich Arena. This part
of the program was moved
indoors due to the wet cool
weather,
The rain failed, however,
to wash out the Canadian
doubles Horseshoe Champion-
ship play at the local park,
as the entire program was
completed.
Festival day closed with a
big dance in the arena, and
the largest crowd to date
attended this part of the
show. Two bands, The Molly
McGuires and the Harbour-
lites, provided the music.
The evening program was
sponsored by the Zurich
-Minor Athletic Associat-
iot,.
While the rain finally did
catch up to the Bean Festival
Day in Zurich on it's 10th
anniversary, the results have
not discouraged officials
and they are already talking
about plans for next year's
event, which will again be
held on the. fourth Saturday
in August.
Accordiag to food special-
ists from the Ontario Food
Council, Ministry of Agric-
ulture and Food, there will be
an abundant supply of Ontario
grapes this year and they will
appear in markets a little
earlier than you might exp-
ect. Be sure to include Ont-
ario blue grapes in your pur-
chases.
The season for grapes this
year will extend from the first
week of September to the end
of September. That should
give you plenty of time to
preserve them in whatever
way best, suits you. Freeze
them whole, make them into
pies, jams or jellies, squeeze
them into juice, or make your
own wine. Ontario blue
grapes are versatile and del-
icious.
Look for the blue grapes in
baskets. They are usually
packed in 2,4 or 6 -quart
baskets. Wine makers can
get them in bushel baskets
from markets in the Niagara
area.
