David ly rasiden l atm, taa. chose Weak' Tompson, on his return from the nig in Trail. Roseland, since its Pacific coast in 1816, followed the own wining prosperity wanted, pro - Columbia River and 'became the aided . an excellent location for fl1;st white man to pass the mouth housing, and now some 900 smelter of Trail Creek, and the site of what .employees commute from there to was to became the largest city in their job& the interior of British Columbia. A large part of the business sec- tion of Trail is built on slag from tap smelter. The whole course of Wail Creek through downtown Trail is enclosed intra concrete culvert. During the depression years, jobs were provided for many in build- ing a river retaining -wall of con- crete, fronting the business section of the city. In 1930 the company completed its fuming plant in the smelter, and the following year it produced the first fertilizer, based on the recov- ery of sulphur deoxide, formerly going up the stacks. Gold Discovered For some time fur trading was carried on among the Indians by the Hudson. Bay Company,. who built forts and, in 1865, established the Deedney Trail which .fixed the junction of overland and water ratites through the West Kootenay at the mouth of Trail Creek. This predistined the city which has grown up there. Gold was found in the Pend d Oreille, a tributary of the Columbia, the first gold found' on the B.C. mainland. But it was not until 1847 that the first claim was staked in tliat area, wlch was to give 'birth to Ross - land, Trail and Comenco., and'all the vast industrial empire of to- day. Soon more claims were recoded and prospectors poured into the dis- trict. At first the ore from these mines was loaded on mules and carried down the seven ,miles to the mouth of Trail Creek, . There it was loaded aboard one of the Columbia wood -burning boats, and taken to the Little Bailer for ship- ment to the 'Butte, 'Montanna, smel- ter. Later a road was built from Rossland down to Trail, and horses drew the ore. Needed Local Smelter But the necessity of a local'Smel- ter was so great that one_ was 'built in Trail in 1896. This answered the problem for Rossland, and a tramway was built between the two places. Trail was chosen for the smelter because of the avail- ability of water, ease of transpor tatien on the Columbia, and that it was to keep the ore on the Cana dian side of the boundary line. The first smelter at Trail was built of as much native material as possible. Sawmills were built along the river. Two million bricks were manufactured from clay on the river bank. Some of these are standing in 'Trail today, a tribute to the workmanship of the early builders. One of the two stacks is standing in the smelter, dwarfed by' the giants which 'have arisen since Fritz Heinze, an American, was the fabulous smelter, organizer and builder, who sold it and his rich interests to the C.P.'R., its present owners, for $900,000. So Trail grew. Schools were or- ganized, waterworks established newspapers' published; hydrb elec tric units were constructed on the Kootenay River. Several dams were built, and, to bring power to Trail and 'Rossland, a 35 -mile -long line was built to carry a heavy load (20,000 volts) over difficult terrain.

Metal con- tracts at special low prices were arranged' with the British 'Govern- ment. The machine shop built marine engines for mine sweepers. Two large chemical plants were built and operated •by'the company for the government, and mines 'pro- ducing strategic metals were brought into 'production. A secret project appeared, which, after the war, was identified as a vital link in atomic research. In the post-war years develop- ment has seen new emphasis 'plac- ed on both the base metals and fertilizer sections of the company's productions. Fifty years as a city have brought such changes to the 'Trail Creek area that tew original land- marks remain.. The city and the smelter have' stretched out; the hills remain, but the forest has gone, to be replaced by lesser vege- tation, and the. houses of those who made Trail their home. The smelter remains, but in a vastly changed form. J. W. R. ire dam HYDRO. HOME ECONOMISE Hello 'Homemakers! Meat makes the meal because it gives us a feeling of being well fed. However. it is always pleasant to enjoy meat that is' tender, flavorful, juicy and appetizing in appearance. To have all these attributes we should ob- serve one rule: Cook meals at low instead of high temperatures. If you haven't time to cook a certain cut of meat slowly until tender, then something like bacon and eggs will be more acceptable. The method and the cookifig period used to cook meat depends largely on these questions: - Is it a tender or less tender cut? Is it a large chunky pie;e of meat. that is easily sliced? Can it be served medium rare or must it be well done? Reniem'ber that good cooking costs you less, not more, than poo. cooking! • . The recipes to follow 'ape taken from the new, pocket book ed"iiun of Martha Logan's Cook Book. which we highly recommend. Steak Casserole 1 lb. round or chuck steak 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. paprika ® 2 tbsps. flour 2 tbsps. fat 1 onion, sliced 4 potatoes, sliced 1 cup tomatoes 1 tbsp. catsup.. Cut the steak into four pieces. Season and pat on the flour, then brown' in hot fat in a heavy .skil- let. Turn meat into casserole and add remaining ingredients. 'Cover and bake in a preheated oven of 350 degrees Cook about 1114 hours. Serves four. (Add water, only if necessary). Sausages- Sweet Potatoes I lb. sausage meat 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes s/ cup orange Jules 1 tbsp. grated orange 1 egg, beaten % tsp. salt. fan fry sausage slowly until wa1 brewned.' With a fork; 'beat mayhed sweet potatoes, orange juice, grat- ings, ratings, egg end salt. Arrange the sausage in a deep 'pie plate, Spread on potatoes. Bakein oven of 376 diegreea for about 30 minutes. Serves six. Lamb With Kidney Deane 1 lb. lamb riblets 2 tbsps. fat 2 tbsps. salt Flour 2%,42 cups tomatoes i, cup celery, diced 2% cups red beans Heat fat in heavy skillet. Cut lamb into rib pieces. Season with salt and roll in flour. Brown meat. Add tomatoes and celery. Cover and cook on element turned low or simmer for two hours. Add cook- ed kidney beans during last 20 minutes. Serves four, , Take a Tip 1.R'ound or cubed steaks should be se browned quickly, then cooked with some water or tomato juice and covered. 2. Bacon rind should be trimmed off 'bacon before drying to pre- vent shrinkage. The rind may be placed in a pile at one side of the pan if you are wise to use bacon dripping for cooking. Cook over low heat and drain -off fat several times, 3. A pot roast should be at least two inches thick. 4. A meat thermometer is a wise investment. 5. A pinch of 'mustard in gravy will always improve the flavor. 6. Meat may be stored in the cook- ing juice or gravy if meat and juice are chilled separately. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. N. L. asks: How can I pre- vent sausages from sticking to the bottom of the skillet? Answer: Pour a quarter inch of hot water in skillet, add sausages. Keep simmering for 5 minutes. Drain off water and pan fry slowly. Turn with tongs to brown evenly. Mrs. M. T. asks: How do you serve leftover dressed rcast pork? Answer: Stuffed roast pork is always good served cold or the slices heated in gravy. May also serve cubes of the meat as a c. s- serole in condensed celery soup and topped with pieces of stuffing and potato chips. 'A fourth suggestion may be wedges of cold pork placed in a casserole, topped with a paste of brown sugar, pinch of dry mus- tard and pineapple juice, then heat in hot oven. Mrs. S. R. asks: How do you slip the skin from a pork tongue which was cooked 1% hours? Answer: As scon as water add- ed to cover tongue begins to boil, reduce the heat to simmering point—do-not boil. Cool slightly and slit skin from thick end. It may be necessary to slice off skin in places on pork tongue. Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Huron Expositcr.

A, Jones 'One of; the first persons to ea 1 on me 'when, I moved ' to Seaforth :was a Member of the 'Canadian Legion. He invited . me to attend :the Meetings ' of '•the . Seaforth Branch in the Legion room at the. Community Centre. The 'members then asked me to be their 'Padre, to which I readily consented. I have always been interested in the Canadian Legion and its work. I was in the Service myself, and in some small way tried to do my part. A while ago the Legion re - waisted me to act as a press core respondent in order that the public might be kept informed of its ac- tivities. The minutes of a eeting are not always particularly a light ening, so I. siggested that t -Leg- ion sponsor a column in the local newspapers, which might 'be en- titled "The Padre's Corner." This is all by way of explanation and introduction. Our articles will not only be for the Legion mem- bers, but for the whole community. We hope you will read them and glean from them some idea. of the intent and purposes of thl° Cana- dian Legion. A Great Number Suppose we go back to school and take out our old English dic- tionaries. Will you turn with me 'to the word 'Legion'? One of its several meanings is: 'A great num- ber' or 'a host.' Our Legion, then, is a host or a great number of men organized into Branches from the east coast.to the west coast.

The !Hauntin 'Memos le 9, s There are . certain m'exnories which haunt the returned man to his dying day. You can't stand be- side a crater, twenty feet deep, which an exploding plane has cre- ated and entirely. forget, The, thought of the young' man who 'eli- cited• that fighter -plane and whose .body could not be found, will al- ways lurk in your mind. 'Nor can you entirely forget the buddies who' went with you into the hell of a dawn attack, but did lot conte out alive! These Were the men who slept and ate With yon; who shar- ed the ups and downs of a fre- quently lonely 'and desperate life. Nor can you forget the human shells salvaged from'the battlefield, bits of wrecked humanity, who in- habit the cells and hallways of goverment' "lfospitals! These are a few'reasons'we meet together each month. It becomes something of a rite or ceremony when we stand in silence and re- membere, comrades who inhabit another Land. It is a time when we draw within our circle wives, children and parents, who never completely forget, but live in a world of' memories. We do not need a dictionary for the word 'Canadian'. We are the Sons of Canada. The great coun- try,tout sired and fosters us; the country we love so much, will not spurn us, but take 'us to its heart. We would serve Canada always. .. o • Clean Fruit All fruit should 'be washed before it is eaten, to remove not only' dirt and -dust or bacterial left by insects 'but also because many fruits are sprayed with insecticides during the early period of growth and it is possible that the residue of the spray may remain on the skin. This doesn't mean that the fruit. should be soaked in water, but if it is washed quickly and wiped or, in some cases, spread out to I dry, it will not be spoilt. e YOU CAN DEPEND ON When kidneys fail to , remove excess acids ' and wastes, back- ache; tired feeling, disturbed rest often Toile*.

The thought occurred to me that perhaps the bank, which has been very helpful to me on numerous occasions, would give me some guidance. Mr. W. proved to be of tremendous help. He introduced me to the people I should have met and saved me days, perhaps weeks, of work." Every chartered bank works this way. Whether you walk irito your neighbor- hood branch or one a thousand miles away, you will find the same full range of banking service—and the same readiness to help.
