Longest Loaf In The World The brother of the Rev. William Black of St. John's in Port Perry is a master baker in the town of Dunoon in Argyllshire, Scotland. He is the local Judge and on most Sundays supplies vacant pulpits as a lay read- er of the Church of Scotland. The business has a romat- ic-story. A good many years ago Mrs. Charles Black Sr., had a dream of a business a few years all the family were members of the rapidly expanding bakery. But in her wildest dreams it is doubt- ful if she ever forsaw how pig tne dream wouid ne. Now some 36 employees witn SIX branch stores and an over- seas market make the hum of the modern machinery ceaseless by night and day. Wonder "what the founder would have thought about the very latest adventure? To Charles McDonald Black goes the credit of making the WORLD'S LONGEST LOAF. The loaf was baked in an 'S" shape weighing 73 Ibs, was over 23 feet long and took one and a half hours of firing. 40 lbs of dough was needed and 30 lbs of fruit. It was later to be sold in slices and the proceeds given to the "Save the Children Fund". The British Press and radio gave such excell- ent coverage that the normal sale of some 20 fruit loaves jumped to 200 the next Sat- urday. Children's Fund Benefits) Eatons of Toronto import a special line of Scotch Shortbread called "Bonnie Prince Charlie" which is finding an enthusiastic rec- eption both in Canada and in the U.S.A. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement are coming from as far away as Australia. It will be a loaf to be remembered in very many ways.
