We saw how the fruit and vegetables were washed, dried, and sorted before it is packaged and shipped ta the supermarkets.* We went into one ai' the very large cold starage rooms where the temperature was a constant 34-36 degrees F. In here wxýe learned that the room is filled with bins of apples it is then loc-ked and fnot opened fil after it has been in- spected about three months later. These applies are then brought out ta be washed, dried, sorted, packaged and shipped ta the markets during the winter. At the end ai' the tour the boys were given the task aif chosing either an ap- pie or a pepper (they were packing peppers while we were visiting) ta take home. Upon leaving the boys gave Mr. Daug Gibson a hearty cheer for letting us corne and learn about the packing and starage ai' fruit and vegetables.
