bushel bins in which they are stored on to conveyor belts taking them to the processing building where the women wait to grade them to size 15 bushels daily then women peel and core 165 bushels per day each for a total of 1650 bushels per day how do you like them ap ples however in place of the lowly paring knife they have an automatic cup like fixture which peels and cores in a fraction of a second then the apples roll down a chute to bo trimmed and inspected be fore being placed on a spindle for slicing and deseeding the slices are carried up on a stainless steel channel into salt brine to prevent browning then along further for final in spection before the cooking process begins into kettles ten bushels at a time are em ptied into a large vat of sugar syrup where a vacuum draws out

allowed to bring in ameri cans to play then he wag swit ched to the defence and helped the argos win two grey cups in 1950 and 1952 which ir onically is the last time the argos won- the coveted trophy v holdi record volpe still holds the record for converts kicked in i season he connected on an amazing 53 out of 58 attempts and added two field goals while playing double duty in the defensive al ignment he was on the coaching stall of the argos in the late 50s and last year acted as spotter for bill stephenson former ar- go playbyplay announcer if you watch football on ctv the reason the cameraman op erating the isolated replay is so successful in spotting the pass receiver or the ballcarrier is due to none other than nick volpe i try to figure out who the hall is going to he smiled he still is a close friend of all the argonauts and is confident they will break the long draught in between grey cups this year he has written a book mod ern canadian football which most high school football coach es use as a guideline the book deals mainly with basic plays which volpe insists must be grasped before anything else can be taught and has diagrams describing simple plays physical education is of vital concern to volpe he says educ ators are more and more getting away from the theory that stud ents are in school for their academics only you must be educated phy sically mentally socially and emotionally he said with one or more of these missing you cannot create the total indivi dual i think our board is very receptive to physical health the fact they appointed a physical
