Mural.” JAM GOES TO BRITAIN "Jam for Britain” is under Way in the lied Cross Warehouse in Toronto. For some weeks new cases of jam, both factory and home-made. us well as honey have been l‘OllIlIQ’ in by train and truck and \ar from the various branches of the lied Cross all'l “'0- mcn's Inslitutes all over Ontario. Tullny \\'omell Institute records report 1... es ((il G lbs.) of farlnry made jam, 786 t 585 (R7523 lbs.) of liliIne-lnmle jam and ~l~l cases {2,112 lbs.) of honey. The \V. I. Suear Fund rec-e'pts to date amount to $3030.73. Jan) I ad- in t ctories in the Hamilton district which has been sent direct tn England accounts for most of the factory jam. While this record is not Complete it is o prer liminary indication of the time, work and money which have been expended on this effort by hath organizations, i\lr,. linuulas lllunro, W. 1. Branch, Department of Agriculture, who has been the staff organizer for the jam enterprise this . :u'V tells of a dav in the Red Cross \ irehouse, wh ‘ and honey are arri '3 daily for Brit- ain. and of her vlslt to Middlesex County when the home-made jam season was zit its height. She is only sorrv that she could not make similar visits to other jalnrmakint‘r centres. Jam by the Ton “'l‘uo tons of Red Cross Cases were car oil through the wideâ€"open doors of the warehouse this morning: by a tired truck driver and all of us have been busy ever since, test’ng jam, \rii-ing up cases and making records oI the jam to send back to the makers“ This l\‘ the last process in the jam' lone journey from Ontario orchards and kitchens to English hospitals anl schools. A remarkable amount of jam has passed throuuh the warehouse this year despite the scarcity and ex- pense of fruit, an amount in which the \V. I. may well take pride. Today I have packed cases of honey from In- st'tutes at Palmerston and Seaforth and the Junior Branch at Tillsonburiz, peach jam from Iloselanll, plum from Lakcview and fragrant strawberry jam from Beetonl The last case was one of wild rasp- berry jam from Hyde Park, and in this one I take particular interest since I helped to make it. I started off one mornin'z in July in an elderly Buick with weak tires. My first stop was at Byron where the heavy sum- mer smell of raspberries rolled out of the church basement. Twelve mem- bers of the branch were at work that summer morning and Mrs. Day, the President. showed me a number of letters which they had received from England thankin them for last sum- mer's janL And they told me an in teresting tale of Mr. Porter's visit lu England. Mr. Porter, the Editor of the Farmer's Advocate, went to Em:- land to study farm conditions in Will" time At one institution he saw a Red Cross jam tin and when he turned it rouan he saw “Made by the By on W. I." on the back. Everyone pleased with the tale and we all told each other that it was a small world. The Byron w. 1., by the way, bell the scrapings left in the jaln pots at the day's end and serve it with lemun nr grapefruit juice at the next meefr ing, They call it “by gosh and by gully". I drove over to Hyde Park just in time to meet Mrs, Keays and Miss Norma MacKcllzie returning laden from a wild-raspberry hunt. I dressed for hunting trio and only re» gret that no films were obtainable since our bats and slices were of a strictly individual fashion. That after noon we made eight tins of raspberry jam which We thought quite good. Miss MucKenzie is the leading Janiv maker of Hyde Park and her in- teg‘l y is such that the Red Cro su-var is stored in her kitchen all sul iner. a spontaneous tribute to ch other in these days of sugar ration- ingl Hyde Park has had a number of thankryou letters from England, a particularly interesting one coming from a patient in an R.C.A.Fl hospital there. Miss Patrick of the Delaware- I.ambeth branch was working in her yzurden and directed me to Mr Lenfcsty and the jam headquarter in Delaware. I planned to revisit it the following day for the rell current jelly session and started for Melbourne Half way between the two towns I was overtaken by a thunderstorm and a blowout simultaneously After which I got in touch with Mr Brail- don which explains how I knew about Melbourne’s honey contribution in ad- Vance. We at the warehouse, stnfi” mem- bers, volunteers, truck drivers and handy man are proud to be associated with the combined Red Cross-Women‘s Institute Jam for Britain Project."

Articles included were 2 wool cardigans with berets to match. 3 two-piece jersey suits for boys, sizes 2, 4 and 6, 2 pairs slices and 3 small children's books. nrie, m “cl-rim I. .
