Province Drops Movies Trenton Studio 1 "Gymn' With the anouncement that Trenton will get the Government "movie" .studio for a gymnasium, Premier Hepburn finished off Ontario's silent "movie" production career yesterday. The "still" branch of the Motion Picture Bureau is being wiped out completely, the Premier announced. Yesterday's action is subsequent to a drastic curtailment of all pictupe work at Trenton in the first days 6i the Hepburn regime. The Premier figures that some $1,750,000 has been spent by the Government in production of silent pictures since 1919. "And there's nothing to show for it," he said yesterday. $1,000 with i t 5%. Canadian Canned Apples Growing More Popular Canada increased her share of the canned apple trade of the United Kingdom by 26.5 per cent, for the first six months of 1935, as compared with the same period last year, 51,-829 cases being imported during the 1935 period, or 32 per cent of the total imports. A like improvement is recorded with regard to canned pears. Peaches and cherries were off while loganberries declined nearly one-third the United States showing an increase of 209.4 per cent. The decline in Canadian shipments of longanberries is probably due to short crop in British Columbia. The use of canned apples in Britain is rapidly replacing the evaporated variety in the bakery Parliament Dissolved Election October 14 Thanksgiving Day Thursday, October 24 i fixed fcr Thursday, October 24, Speaking on the same platform as Premier Hepburn, Hon.

Dryirg. or den; of fruits and vegetables is a" process by which moisture is removed from food so that deletrious organisms will not grow. The flavour is somewhat changed in drying and the vitamin value destroyed by long exposure to the oxygen of the air. Therefore, says the circular just issued by the Dominion Department of Agriculture on home drying of fruits and vegetables, drying should be used as a method of home preservation only when home canning is not practical. There are three methods of drying, namely, sun diying, drying by artificial heat, and drying in air blast. Good material must be used to obtain good results, and the advantages of drying lie in the fact that less storage space is required because the fresh material is reduced to almost one-quarter, and that dried products may be stored indefinitely without danger of spoilage. In the cooking of dried fruits and vegetables, it must be remembered that the water which has evaporated from them must be restored. The dried fruit or vegetable to be cooked should be soaked over night in about four times as much water as the bulk of the dried products. They should be cooked in the water in which they have soaked, using a covered saucepan, and allowed to simmer for a long time. Sugar should not be added until the fruit is. nearly cooked. In this way the flavour is better, and less sngar is required. These, and many other directions will be found ' circular.
