THIRTYâ€"EIGHTH YEAR MACHINE PITS 4800 â€" CHERRIES A MINUTE If the people in Regina, Sask. eat : Grimsby grown and canned cherries : next week that are still: hot when| they open the cans they can blame it all on Edw. Todd, manager of the Grimsby factory of the Dominion Canners. When The Independent visited this plant on Friday afternoon last â€" case after case of sour cherries were beâ€" ing loaded into a car ,along with a lot of other varieties of fruit, to be shipped to Regina. These cherries were coming to the shipper right from the cookers and the cans were so‘hot that the labeller could hardly handle them in order to get the labels on. They went into the car warm and unless they strike a snow storm somewhere in the Lake Superior regions may land in the western metropolis warm. From the tree to the can in less than five hbours is going some, but that is what happenâ€" ed‘ in this case for the cherries were only being picked from the trees at ten o‘clock in the morning and at three o‘clock they were canned and being shipped. A visit to ~tHis factory*is well worth while. Especially so to old timers in this district who ‘ in days gone by were used to seeing fruit canned in a more or less slipâ€"shod. unsanitary condition, but not so nowâ€" aâ€"days. Cherries. come from the reâ€" ceiving room in this plant to the "round table" where they are stemmed Bby a crew of white clad, whiteâ€"capped young ladies under _ a supervisor who knows her business. Then they are carried in basket lots to a hopper and dumped in. From now on human hands never touch them. â€"They fall down the hopper onâ€" to an endless chain belt that carries them past a couple of young ladies who pick off the belt any dirt, stems or pits that should happen to be ‘there.On they go into a large revolyâ€" ing washing machine that has dozens of tiny streams of continuous running . water pouring in and out of it. In ‘ one end and out of the other goes *theâ€"luscious fruit, dropping ontc ~a endless chain hoisting belt which carries them up into another hopper, whichzallows them to drop down into the pitting machine. > Fruit Hanging on Trees At Ten o‘Clock is Being Ship/ped At _ Threeâ€"A Visit to Dominion _â€"Canners Factory Reveals Many New Sanitary Features. 4 0) amp 0 csap o This machine is a wonder. .

While conditions are not exactly on the boom throughout Grimsby and district, still there is plenty of conâ€" struction work going on and lots of work for anyone ‘who wants to work. While conditions in the building trades are not asbrisk as they were before the war there are enough new structures of différent kinds going up this sgeason to keep the carpenters and brickl@gyers busy. In the Town and Township of North Grimsby ‘there are several pieces of big construction work under way and a lot of labor is being used. In the west end of the township the new cement pier being erected by the township council, is employing a lot of men and teams and has done so for nearly six weeks. In" the. eastern‘..portion of ‘the Township ‘the Warren Paving Comâ€" pany are employing a large Crew layâ€" ing the new asphalt road between the Beach and Grimsby. Last week work was commenced on the new east. end waterworks system and here again a lot of men are employâ€" ed. Over the mountain Road Supt. Russ is building a considerable amount of new road and making extensive reâ€" pairs to other roads and is thus givâ€" ing a lot of employment. In Town the street work for the year is about wound up.

Several men. are at work here and more will be employed as the work progresses. In all probabiljty a new filtering reservoir will also have to be built near the pump house and if such is the case a large gang of men and teams wil be used on this job until late in the fall. & : Taking it all in all Grimsby and district is travelling along at about rormaley and ro one has any need for worry. WANT ALL VEHICLES TO CARRY LIGHTS Hamilton Chamber of Commerce Start Agitation to Have Civic Authorities Pass Bylaws Along These Linesâ€"Menace to Safety Greater in Country * The question of all vehicles travel~ ling on the streets and roads Oof cities, towns and rural districts â€"at night is again being brought into the limelight. This time the â€" Hamilton Chamber of Commerce is taking the matter in hand. The following clipâ€" ping from the Hamilton Spectator of July 6th, shows the way the Ambiâ€" tious City people feel about the matâ€" ter:â€" $ "That the civic authorities should] be petitioned to pass a bylaw to the effect that all vehicles using the public streets of the city after! dusk and before dawn shall carry lighted side lights‘ plainly visible from in front of and behind such vehicle was decided at a meeting of the board of directors of the chamber ofâ€" commerce yesterday. At the last session of the legislaâ€" ture the local chamber coâ€"operated with the Ontario Safety league in an endeavor to have provincial legislation passed to this effect, but the bill was beaten on the third reading by the vote of the rural members. With the increase of motor traffice the liability to acâ€" cidents from unlighted vehicles at night is becoming more and more serious and the chamber feels that * every effort should be made in the cities and towns to establish legisâ€" lation along these lines so that the public generally will become gradâ€" ually educated to a point where public opinion throughout the proâ€" vince will enable the necessary provincial legislation to be /put through." o , While horseâ€"drawn vehicles in the cities are to a certain extent a menâ€" ace to the safety of the travelling public and also to pedestrians, when they do not carry lights, they are not nearly so great a menace as they are in the country. Most of the city streets are well lighted and horseâ€" drawn vehicles can be seen to better advantage by motorists and pedesâ€" trians than they can be in the counâ€" trv.._ / & j c 4 *3 n<mpâ€"0â€"<m»â€"0 <mp 0 â€"cmeâ€"o <m».0 <mp.0â€"<meâ€"0 4 DEPE GRIMSBY, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, eBe UR To ERNNE NTR ANIACAINRNNEARONITTNTETMRITIINSE» O:JllilfllllllnlmlllIllIInHIIlIIlllllnlmlmllllfllllll!!ilIHHHIIIIHHHIEQ = If Babe Ruth broke an S § arm, or Jack Detmpsey a & S rib, twoâ€"thirds of the § § population of America § 5 would know all about it § 5 within twenty â€" four & S hours. $ C A FALSIFIER § IN GRIMSBY Tells Householders That Chas.

"There was little ‘drop‘ last month", conâ€" tinued Mr. Wilson, "and the only thing to be feared now is that too many growers will not have time to thin properly The weather so far has done no apparent injury ‘to this crop." y Cherries, ‘as indicated in the openâ€" ing paragraph, are none too Qromisâ€" ing.

The large growers in the Niagara district, howâ€" ever. are taking no chances, and are ready to save what promises to be a record crop by spraying, if this is necessary. ‘Ch This is an off year for pears, the latest reports indicating but 70 per cent of a crop.

By the time you read this the new asphalt road between the Beach ~road and Grimsby will be completed as far west as Baker‘sâ€"side road, and it is a real road, the first real one that has ever been laid in this .section. To watch the work of laying this road progress is an interesting sight indeed. ‘First along comes a big steam roller with a "spiker" attachâ€" ed which spikes or tears up the old worn out macadam road. [ In most cases the new asphalt road is laid on top of the macadam road, but in this case it was cheaper to spike up and roll the road than it was to try and fil the million holes with stone, tar and asphalt. After the spiked qip road is levelled off a layer ‘of fine crushed stone mixed with tar is laid down to a depth of one and oneâ€"half inches. This is spread out with rakes and rolled thoroughly, then a second: coat of the same material is laid for another one and a half inches and thoroughly rolled. Theâ€"road is now ready for the asphalt, which is de livered on the job from the boiling plantâ€" in the rear ofe the Grimsby Fruit Growers Factory, piping hot. The truck load is dumped onto sheets of ~oiled steel and shovelled an 1wheeled in greased bq,rrows ‘to . th point where it is needed. This asphal when being laid has a temperature o from three to four hundred degree of heat. After being spread out it i smoothed down with rakes and ‘the rolled and rolled and rolled, and top dressing of dustless cement spread over it. The seams and edges are smoothed out with a hot pressing iron just previous to the rolling proâ€" cess. ; GREAT SALEâ€"â€"USED CARS ‘_ Warren Bros. of Toronto have : contract on this job and are mak rapid headway with the work. the boiling plant there are two hi boilers boiling asphalt and hot tar mix with the stone, continuous The nearer the work gets to the to limits the faster the road will be 1: At present the traffic is being toured down Baker‘s sideroad and Beach road and through the Bea and let it be said â€"to the crediyof contractors that they are the o firm or people that ever built a r in this sestion that looked after detour roads.
