Adjust air inlets so as to maintain a high incoming air velocity to provide even air disbribution and circulation. 2. Make sure thermostats are set at the desired temperature, espe- cially if fans are "staged". 3.

Freezing Tomatoes Tomatoes CAN be frozen. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, report that many consumers are wondering how they can make best use of the surplus of tomatoes growing in their backyards. They suggest that freezing is the simplest way to preserve tomatoes for later use. Select fully ripened toma- toes. Wash and scald for. 1 minute to loosen skin. Cool in cold water. Peel and core. Freeze as is, or stew for 2 to 3 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon salt per quart of tomatoes. (T°matoes tend to be tough and stringy if not stewed before freezing). Package in plastic containers, leaving one-one-half inch headspace, and freeze. Once frozen, tomatoes can- not be used as fresh. Use as a side dish or in cooked dishes. Ontario Blue Grapes Freeze With Ease -Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Mini- stry of Agriculture and Food, say that Ontario blue grapes freeze successfully with al- most no effort at all. Because of their high acid level no sugar is necessary, thus making these grapes an eco- nomical and easy fruit to freeze. Frozen grapes aren't suit- able for eatîng, but they are excellent for jams, jelly, juice or even pies and other cooked desserts. There is no need to spend extra hours in the kitchen making jams and jellies now. Freeze the grapes and do the work in your spare time. To freeze Ontario Blue Grapes, wash carefully to remove spray deposits. De- tach from stems. Pack into freezer container without sugar, and freeze. Ag ricultu rai News Septemner 12-14 Port Hope Fair.

Bowmanville, September 10, 1975 5 Lions Centre Property in 1975 and Back in 1878 At the Lions Club meeting on August 25th, Bruce Lush treated his fellows to an interesting slide presentation. He matched photos of sketches taken from the 1878 Northumberland and Durham Atlas with the present day structures. In many instances the old residences and commercial buildings have remained basically unchanged over the past 100 years. As can be seen by comparing the two photos above, the Lions Centre on Beech Ave. has undergone some alterations since the sketch was drawn. The house, which was owned by J. W. McLaughlin in 1878, was originally built by Dr. G. H. Low, 26 years earlier. Since that time, many other residences have been built in the vicinity and hence the photographic angle is more limited than the view in the original sketch. College of Agricultural~Tech- nology.

Shaw's News Most of the Shaw s neigh- bours attended Orono Fair last weekend and especially enjoyed the O.P.P. perform- ance on Thursday evening.

Osborne, former neigh- bour, on his fine apple display and likewise good wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Campbell on their participation House project.

Mr. Davis came down hard on some of his cabinet ministers who were exposed as having conflicts of interest. Now we have guidelines to steer our politicians. Or there was the case of corporate contributions to election campaigns. Again' Mr. Davis responded. He cleaned up that legislation. But the government has sadly neglected the rights of 60,000 citizens. It has forgotten its own employees. Crown employees and civil servants have practically no political rights. The Public Service Act and the Crown Employees Collective Bargaining Act spell this out clearly. We can't canvass on behalf of a candidate. in fact, we can't even speak or write publicly on any topic that is part of any party's election platform. This is a denial of our basic democratic rights. To change this costs taxpayers nothing. We have asked Mr. Davis to clean up these two acts. He has refused. We hope you will vote for democratic justice... for everyone. These are two hard acts to swallow. Whose rights go nexti Civil Service Association of Ontario )f le Ls )f rt A
