JAM FOR BRITAIN
GENEROSITY OF CANADIAN
WOMEN
OTTAWA, September 17
Housewives in Canada’s fruit-grow-ing districts are again busily making jams and jellies for Britain. Last year the Canadian Red Cross appealed to the 75,000 members of Canadian Women’s Institutes to co-operate in a jam project. The result was that 223 tons <vf jam was shipped overseas. The objective this year is 300 tons.
In one British Columbia fruit district a ton of apricots was given for jam. In the St. John area. New Brunswick, a jam factory is lending its equipment to permit workers to make crab-apple jelly. Women of the United Church are joining in the effort.
The jam goes to British nurseries, homes for waifs and strays, to evacuated children, military hospitals and homes for the aged.
