Dr. Jacques Brandenberger was 'a Swiss chemist of fastidi- ous habits. 0 working in a French textile mill about the turn of the century, he was disturbed by:the soiled. tablecloths at the small cafe' where he ate 'lunch.. One day, as a 'waiter wiped up some spilled wine at his table, he' visu- alized a waterproof table cover that could be cleaned with a few dabs of a damp cloth, He hurried back to his lab and went to work coating fabric with 'the --gyrupy liquid from which rayon sparkle, but they were too harsh and stiff to handle, Furthermore, the viscose coating showed a ten- dency to. peel off in thin, trans- parent sheets. At first the young chemist was disheartened, but shortly saw the flexible film as a completely new product. He returned to his lab and experi- mented for several years more. This time he came up with a product called "La Cellophane" =a name he coined by combin- ing "cello" from cellulose and "phaneros," the Greek word for transparent. But the lustrious film proved so expensive to man- . ufacture it was restricted to --glamorizing expensive -French- perfumes gnd chocolates. When war broke out in 1914, tue material that was unsuitable for water-proofing tablecloths was used as thick, clear eye pieces for gas masks. Following the armistice, France began to export "Cellophane" cellulose film along with other luxury items, The first large user of" this delphia candy maker. Then a Cleveland baker adoped it for wrapping cookies. When a mois- ture-proof type was developed in 1926, a large grocery chain in Toronto started wrapping bacon in it. . the end of the "cracker-barrel" era-in-which-food was displays ed in boxes and bins wide open to dirt, handling, and rapid de- terioration. It is also credited with helping to usher. in a new concept in -marketing,- which eventually led to today's sanitary self-service supermarkets. Dr. Brandenberger lived to see his unsuccessful attempt to pro- . duce a water-proof tablecloth enter almost every home: as a hygienic packaging material and a preservative of freshness. His film helped bring to the daily ~table a greater variety of food as well' as many items formerly 'regarded as luxuries, One of the in. the packaging of fresh fish, Family-size catches, as fresh as though the master of the house . had just hooked them . himself, are finding their way into fry- ing pans many hundreds of miles from the lakes that spawned * sthem.

One of our friends had an eye almost closed by a bite the week before. It was a -hard. place to leave after just a couple of hours' visit. -- two months wouldn't have "been too long. -But it had to be. Coming home we took a dif- ferent route from "Orangeville, coming through Erin, Terra Cotta, Glen Williams and Georgetown -- familiar terri- tory to us but all new ground to our friends.' They expressed great surprise at the lovely country - we passed through. They -thought they knew Hal- ton County and yet had no idea it was.s0 well wooded with so 'many. little creeks and streams, I felt a thrill of pride, as I al- ways do-when 'returnihg to our "own county, because to me it seems. that Halton is one of the Iovliest counties in Ontario, Few people who travel our busy highways realise how much un- spoiled beauty is 'still to be found away off the beaten track. We 'arrived home in plenty of time to milk the cows and fee the hens. - - } Then came Saturday. Joy and Bob were here in the morning . so after dinner 'we set out for North Toronto to visit Partner's brother-in-his new home. I was to go so that 'Bob could show me the easiest way of getting there. We went by Malton and then along No. 401 to Avenue Road. It was the first time we had seen that part of our colossal highway system. Highway 401 seems literally a road on stilts. Last time we were over in that di- rection. Wilson Avenue was at "the grading stage. Now the whole area -- 401 and 27 -- seems to be a network of over- passes, underpasses, ° clover- leaves and service roads. We looked at 401 and wilted, realis- ing it is the same highway that will eventually come ~ through our-own farm -->unless the De- partment of Highways changes its plans, which wouldn't upset us a bit. We foresee an over- pass extending from the rail- way track at the back of our farm to the cloverleat on the highway that runs in front of it. By: the. time they get through grading there won't be much+ farm left. And just to think it is the motor-age that has, brought these super-highways into be- ing. And there is Malton approximately twenty-five years ago we were driving along country roads -- and I do mean country -- and we saw the first of the plowed fields levelled by 'a. grader for future runways. Now there are huge hangars, planes © coming and grounded = sabre-jets. ready to take oft at'a moment's notice.
