POTATOES Potatoes have long been regarded as one of the staples of our daily diet... but few people appreciate the spe- cial qualities of this versatile food. From‘a standpoint, they rate highly: Potatoes are a good source “of potassium, vitamin C, mineral salts and‘ iron. And, contrary to popular belief, they are not fattening (a Si2- oz. adult serving contains about 105 calories), What's more, potatoes are one of our great food bargains, cost-, ing only pennies per pound. Here in British Columbia, we enjoy an excellent supply of home-grown potatoes all year ‘round. With growing areas In the Fraser Valley, the interior “dry belt” and Vancouver Island, there's a consistent supply of top quality potatoes for every pur- pose, For a free collection of enticing recipes using B.C. @ BC.

Chabot comes from Farnham, Quebec, a town of 7,000 about 25 miles from the Vermont border. His move out of a FrenchCan- adian venue came by acci- dent — he was transferred west by Canadian Pacific, for whom he worked as a telegrapher, to help cope with the 1948 flood emer- ency. Ever since, until ta- fing on the labor portfollo, he has worked in various Canadian Pacific towns in British Columbia's interior. He still speeks French fluently and keeps regular touch with the rest of his family in Quebec. He has five brothers and one sister and two of his sisters-in- Jaw do not know English. On the other side of the coin, he has assimilated here. His wife is not French. Canadian and his children are not bilingual.
