home canners for the past two
summers. Here's the rub: in her
last days in office, she learned
from the manufacturers of
home canning supplies that
consumers would have to notify
the industry of their ‘exact
needs for 1976 with regard to
lids or caps,

This means that each home
canner must. write the new
minister of consumer services,
Rafe Mair, at the Legislative
Buildings in Victoria, at once.
Notify him of the number of
dozen lids and caps you require,
whether they are wide or
regular mouth size, and your
first and second choice of brand
preference. It is only by notify-
ing the industry of your needs,
the manufacturers claim, that
they can fill our requirements
this summer,

Frankly, I find this infor.
mation frightening. Does this
mean that the home canning
industry conducts no statistical
sampling techniques to deter-
mine the size of their market?
Is there any other industry that
comes to mind operating on a
“must need to know your
requirements” basis before pro-
ceeding to order supplies and

Can we afford to, I ask,
because there lies yet another
problem with supplies, when
they can be had. In recent
summers, home canners have
experienced problems of unre-
liability, with Hds in particular,
The only Canadian-manufac-
tured product is the Anchor
Cap and Closure brand, widely
sold in Eastern Casnada. Last
summer, there were disturbing
reports from the East that
large numbers of these lids had
initially appeared to seal, but
on later inspection were not
vacuum sealed at ell.

Nonetheless, the real is-
sue at this time is availability of
supplies. We have our instruc-
tions, straight from the manu-
facturers, Write the minister.
Tell him precisely what you
require for your canning needs
in "76. Then sit back and wait,

‘Thia summer, if the manu-

will for the death (by freezing)
of Tis father as the result of
refusal by a Canadian neighbor
togive him shelter ina blinding
snowstorm, the man took the
same neighbor into his home
and nursed him back to health
when he was completely inca-
pacitated by a fractured leg.

This act affected the con-
sclence of the neighbor'to the
extent that he couldn't face his
friends any more, and so moved
to another location.

A guest speaker at the
symposium was John P, Stooch:
noff of Calgary, who read’
excerpts from Leo Tolstoy's
letters, wherein the noted
Russian writer states that
Peter V. Verigin was placed by
destiny to head one of the most
religious groups of people on
earth, and that undoubtedly his
influence upon the people will
be a very beneficial one.

This statement was made
after Verigin's visit to Yasneya
Pollana (Tolstoy's home) follow-
ing: his: release from exile’ and -
while Verigin was on his way to
Canada in 1902.

Interesting historical re-
ferences were also quoted from
letters of Prof. Maver, and a
grandson of William Lloyd
Garrison, an American philoso-
fer and humanitarian. S

The various other speakers
included honorary chairman of
the U.S.C.C., John J, Verigin,
Cecil Koochin, Walter Lebe-
doff, N. Novokshonoff and Tom
Savinkoff. The latter two car-
ried on a dialogue on the pros

mite movement, attempting to
bring it“into a more favorable

image of the movement is
