Haileybury SUBSCRIPTION RATES: In Canada--s2.00 per year in advance In United States--$2.50 per year in advance LEISHMAN &® SUTHERLAND PUBLISHERS Grow Our Own Prunes It may be a surprise to readers of The Haileyburian, as it was to the writer, to learn that Canada is in a fair way to grow her own supply of prunes in the very near future. The information comes through a bulletin recently _ is- sued by the Department of Agri- culture at Ottawa, which de- scribes the method of handling the fruit as follows: "The interesting prospect that Canadian production will soon be able to supply the entire demand for prunes in Canada is observed from the annual report for 1930 of the Dominion Experimental Station at Sidney, B.C. It is at this station that a special study of dehydration has been develop- ed, and while logan berries and black berries have been success- fully processed, demand and price for these fruits fresh is such as to discourage commercial dehy- dration. The price of prunes, however, is more in line with competitive supplies. They may be grown to perfection on Van- couver Island and offer an_ ex- cellent opportunity for develop- ing Canadian business in dehy- drated prunes. Prunes have to be fully ripe and ready to fall to the ground before picking to be in prime condition for drying in order to obtain their fufl flavor and qual- ity. Before being put in the de- hydrator prunes are dipped in a hot solution of lye, 1 pound to 20 gallons of water, for 15 to 30 seconds--long enough to slightly check or crack the skin in order to hasten evaporation. They are then rinsed in clear water and Started in the dehydrator at temperature of from 115 to 125 degrees F. They are finished at 160 to 175 degrees F. and take about 30 hours for processing. The drying ration of prunes aver- aged 3.5 pounds of fresh fruit to 1 pound of dried. The dried fruit is stored in bins for some weeks where it under- goes sweating, and the excess moisture from under-dried fruit is taken up by the- drier fruits, so equalizing the product as _ re- gards moisture content. Before being packed for ship- ment prunes are processed by be- ing immersed for 2 minutes in water brought to the boiling point. This processing sterilizes the fruit, softens it and gives ita glossy appearance. It is then packed while still hot, into paper lined boxes, and pressed down firmly by means of a press."

Newspapers and state that the famous fliers had reached Churchill Views of Our News By Chicagoan Chicago, Ill, August 4th--As though it set out to depict the emotions of the world, a storm descended upon Uno Park last week's Haileyburian tells. The hail was like the hasty and re- gretted actions of men, spurred by uncontrolled emotions. The roar of the wind was the shout of the angry mob, and the rain fell in torrents was the tears of a sad and troubled world. And how do you suppose this hot and bothered world appears to the little man, who according to last week's paper, has added so much to the happiness of the Dr. R. H. O'Neill household? Well, we'll never know. But any- way, it won't be long until this young man will be taking active charge of some part of the busin- ess of the world. And as he stops to wipe his brow,: on some hot summer day, his father will re- mind him that the heat is nothing compared to that which prevailed the "week you were born". From India, says the Hailey- burian and from nearer places too, comes the news of the con- tinued depradations of grasshop- pers as well as tales of the ray- ages of droughts. Countless armers nowy find themselves beset with a problem that is even worse than low prices. The grasshop- pers and droughts seem deter- mined that there shall be no grain to sell__.at any price. Those who are convinced that the farm- ers' woes will end when produc- tion is curtailed may look on the pests with a friendly eye. But those who have seen their crops disappear into the maws of the hungry hordes of locusts may be contemplating a request to gov- ernmental boards. for a distribu- tion the wheat they now hold. That would remove the surplus and give the farmer a crop too. Last week Mr. and Mrs. Sey- mour, Miss Shirley and Bruce travelled leisurely to Muskoka, so states our local news. Per- haps all the members of the groups that gathered upon their was a pleasure. But then they Going North on Saturday Haileybury people were in mn Saturday, but evidently they radio reports on Sunday, aker Lake the following day Beauharnois committee could not but be impressed with the fact that one man dominated the scene. That man was the chair- man. His personality gave him an easy command and it was borne in upon all observers that here was a natural born leader of men. It is known that the Prime Minister thinks very high- ly of him and, as he is still a young man -- only forty - seven years of age--he is bound to go far if he remains in political life. There are those who say that a few years hence he might suc- ceed the present Premier. <A sound lawyer, an _ impressive «speaker, a man of good temper and broad outlook, he is certainly a find for the Conservative party. To the qualities enumerated he has those of great industry and quiet driving power. His con- duct of the Beauharnois investi- gation was beyond criticism. When he occasionally took over the examination of witnesses he usually got somewhere, and it is understood he laboriously wrote out the whole Beauharnois re- port with his own hand before having it typewritten and sub- mitted to the rest of the commit- tee for approval before presenta- tion to the House." The Haileyburian said, when Mr. Gordon was first spoken of as chairman of the 'committee, that the investigation would bea thorough one, and we can heart- ily endorse the foregoing, all but the last few lines. We have seen samples of W. A's handwriting! RE ters every day and funny geezers might fill a thousand more col- umns trying to amuse and inter- est them, but nothing would bind ties more firmly nor bring more worthwhile pleasure, than did the visit of last week and the others like it. "How are things in Toronto"? F. G. MacLeod now visiting friends and relatives in Hailey- bury has found it necessary to answer that question many times since his arrival. His loyalty to the town he now calls his home, leads him to _ repeat _ its advantages to each questioner. But now and then he may winka bit slyly and state that business in Toronto is good. _ Mighty good! In fact, nobody there ever realized how good it was until it became so hard to get. The business of the near future will be in the hands of T. Jack- son of Cobalt and the members of other school camps, now carry- ing on their work in all parts of the country. From their camps activities the young "folks are gaining not only clear, clean minds and healthy bodies, but they are learning ways of occu- pying themselves usefully. Car- rying such knowledge with them will never cost a cent as they wend their way through life. The week was filled with many experiences for Mrs. S. D. Briden Some were pleasant and others not quite so. But the high point of the seven days came on Sun- day when according to last week's Haileyburian she had her grand daughter Miss Betty Briden at her home for Sunday dinner. Her guest realized full well that it was not without planning and or- ganizing--and the exercise of superior culinary ability, that such a meal came into being. 'Course, one would enjoy a visit at the Briden home on any other day, the same as they'd relish any meal Mrs. Briden might prepare. But--Oh, well, there's just some- thing different about a Sunday dinner. And my mouth waters as I read of so many being enjoy- ed by my Haileyburian friends. Record Time Across Two Oceans Aeon half the world in 17 days, London to Yokohama by way of Canada and Honolulu is the record of Miss D. Bewley, of London, en route to join her uncle Allan Cameron, Oriental manager of the Canadian Pacific, Hong Kong, who] of left Vancouver July 18 on the Canadian Pacific liner I Miss Bewley, in company with Lady Lindley, wife of Sir Francis Lindley, British ambassador in Japan, and other through passengers, left Southampton July 8 arrived in Empress of Canada. Quebec July 13 on fastest trip, the new Empress of Britain, was rushed to Montreal by boat train where she boarded the Imperial Limited for Vancouver. Vancouver July 18 at 8.15 she boarded the Empress Canada, thus obtaining direct connection to the Orient. Combination of the Empress of Britain's fast time across the Atlantic and the Empress of Canada's fast time over the Pacific makes this the 2 record between London and the.' Orient by way of Canada and Honolulu.
