How does it appear to you? Are you proud of it, or have you become so used to its defects that you take them ag matters that cannot be remedied?

Turnips De Lux Mr. Harry Purvis, of Blackwater, has been responsible for the establish- ment of an industry of vital import- ance to the turnip growing farmers within a radius of twenty miles, in transforming the common field turnip to a very edible and attractive food product the "Rutabaga", The plant built at a cost of $6000 was orected during 1931-32, close to the railway station at Blackwater Junction, where rail facilities were offered in handling the finished or marketable product. The turnips as they are drawn from the field by the farmer, partially trim- med are dumped down a chute from 'which they are elevated on a slow moving endless belt to a hopper. Here they are weighed, having been graded prior to their passing into the hopper. From the weighing hopper they pass down a chute to be washed, the washer being -a large revolving churn lying horizontal. From here the turnips pass through to another 'elevator which elevates - them onto a table where_they are retrimmed and passed to a' tryer table where they are metal stamped. They then pass on to the waxers who dip each individual tur- nip, covering only the portion that had been cut during the process of trimming. question: "Why don't you wax the entire turnip?" Mr. Purvis replied, that it had been tried, but unless the turnip or Ruta- bags as they are called in their new dress are used almost immediately or exposed to the heat, they will smother and soon spoil. y : __ After they are waxed they are bag- ged in 50 1b. sacks, ready for market. The turnip most suitable and in great- est demand is graded Canada No. 1 medium, 4 to 6 inches in diameter. . with other grades as follows, Canada No. 1 small, 2 to 4 inches, and Canada No. 1 large from 4 inches up. . Mr, Purvis finds that the variety "Weber's New Masterpiece", a small rooted, - purple top turnip, the best producer. Giving the public a product that is No. 1 in appearance and con- dition has opened a wide market which has expanded wonderfully since the introduction of the waxdd and stamp- ed Rutabag. Incidentally Mr, Purvis is now receiving a royalty on his, patent. While the home market, To- ronto, takes most of the output up to date, which has increased over 200 per cent. in five years, his product has a ready market in Detroit. A trucking company from Toronto trucking loads of unwashed Rutabags took to Detroit ten bushel of the waxed and finished article as a sample in 1935 with the result that up to date they have sold over 7000 bushels and gave Mr. Purvis the assurance that they could dispose of 100,000 bushels next year. His output during the five years in opera- tion has run between 35,000 and £0,000 bushels, A The season. for Rutabags' runs about eight months--August to March inclusive. Mr. Purvis intends in- , creasing his own' planting from ten to thirty acres this coming season. The canning of Rutabags, while-in 'its infancy promises to be a big factor in building up the business. Turnips that are not perfect models in shape or size, yet sound, are used for canning purposes. Mr. Purvis intends making slight alterations as to size of cans, ete, with the- larger cans finding a ready sale in hotels, restaurants and large institutions, Mr. Purvis, a very genial and ob- liging gentleman, is to be commended for his foresight that has opened up' such a market, giving the farmers a stimulus to grow the 'product as a cash crop. ed | One is forced to face an issue in adian Statesman, B vices used by chure The list an editorial from The Can- hes in Bowmanville to raise money for church purposes. mounted to 41 varieties, and the general tone '| of the editorial is well expressed in this extract: "We feel sure that not only the church but the in- dividual will experience a revival or at least a freer con- science when a definite return to free giving is made. If the church wants to go into the baking business, be- come a glorified restaurant or an amusement hall, then it had better stop masquerading under the cloak of Christianity, and come out under its true colors as a business organization on Main St. Maybe the radio might then take over from the church the job of saving souls, but even that might be sponsored by a commercial program and we would be as bad off as ever." "There are two sides to this question, Church entertainments de not always prove to be financially successful. They seldom yield profit worthy of the effort put forth; but they do provide social contact, and they do provide an avenue of training and self- expression. When the church acts as a local Major Bowes, it does a good work; because nothing is more serious than when a community becomes "dumb" and unable to provide its own entertainment, x Having said all this in extenuation of church entertainment, the truth remains that church members frequently overlook the fact that they are financially responsible for the church they pro- mised to support. All the odium of the accusation of commercial- izing the church could easily be removed by systematic support of the church and its projects. Few people seem to realize that very small sums given regularly each week will make surprising contributions in the aggregate, Nickles, and dimes, and quarters (so easily spent to satisfy a passing fancy) can form the basis of what would be a comfortable income for any church, if all the members would "get the habit." } One thing is certain--no community can afford to allow the local church to be neglected, or compelled to adopt what some consider questionable methods in order to live and carry on a worth-while program of Christian activity. This matter is be- coming serious, and should receive proper attention. 40th Anniversary Greenbank 'Woon, Leslie Beare, United Church Despite the very inclement weather Rev. Geo, Miller, Rev.

The first one was the wooing scene from Longfellow's "Hiawatha". During the reading of the scene, Rose Steer alias Minnehaha received Hia- watha (Ivan Dusty), young and tall and very handsome at the tent of her father (Murray Holtby), the Arrow Maker. The second skit was a selec- tion from "The Courtship of Miles Standish" also written by Longfellow. Norma Ewers was the skilled and beautiful Puritan maiden, and Bill Beare her ardent lover, The thira skit was taken from Drummond's "The Wreck of the Julie Plante". Burgess Beare turned French-Cana- dian for the occasion as the story is written in dialect. Ernie Gilroy was the captain of the cleverly contrived ship and a terrified crew. Hazel Mec- Crea was the bewitchingly terrified cook, * » » After Minnehaha's heart had been won by Hiawatha, Nora Porteous sang "The Indian Love Call" very beautifully. After the scene from the "Courtship of Miles Standish" 1 which Norma was spinning, Nora . sang "There's An Old Spinning Wheel in the Parlour." Marian Tay- lor waltzed back from the stormy river scene to one more peaceful with the "Blue Danube" waltz. Rev. Mr. Smyth acted as critic. * * With Mary Stone as the heroine of "Come out of the Kitchen', and Bill Willard as the hero, the play will be a thrilling success as a romance, but with Grace Stone as cook and Hugh Rogers and Malcolm Nasmith as dish- washer, we doubt if it will be a suc- cess is so far as the kitchen is con- cerned, * 3 "> Middle School contribution-- -, "I'm trying hard to get ahead " ~ Said McMaster very sadly.
