Plans Are also under Way for the annual dramatic festival for one act plays which will probably be staged about the first of the year. By june Horne very shortly you Are going to find in the shops two quite unusual canned products. The names of these. Are mullets and Pickerel Cheeks. The unusual thing about them is that they Are Manitoba products the fish is such an Endeavor presented itself and Here is where or. H. C. Grant of the University of Manitoba came into this picture. Or. Grant had become interested in the Mullet problem when making is Survey in 1933 on the commercial fishing Industry of the province and it Ira Apkin pie out they clamber and Oil in out they i Anil i.

The woman of the year in the Calendar auxiliary which is being water fish has been canned commercially. The canned Mullet particularly is going to be put on the Market to compete with other Low priced canned Cost of a Pound can to be about 12c. I imagine you re wondering Why they should Start a Canning Ven Ture with a fish As Little known As the Mullet or with Pickerel Cheeks either for that matter. But first let me Tell you about the Mullet mullets Are extremely plentiful in Lake Winnipegosis but up. To quite recently were considered hoi Only a Complete waste but also a hindrance. One of the main objections to this fish was that because of the multitude of tiny Bones from the Tail right up to the Middle of the Backbone it a impossible to fillet. Any attempts that had been made to fillet mul lets in the past had resulted in about four ounces of fillet from a 2 to 2% Pound fish which made it an extremely wasteful procedure. Then too the people who were making a living from their catch in this Lake had another serious objection to the Mullet. The mul let was a destructive fish. It ate the Roe of the More valuable fish thing to be done was to set up a Laboratory. Or. R. M. Morrison of the Armstrong Gimli fisheries donated a room and As the people of Winnipegosis were not Only willing but anxious to Aid All they could they built and painted the necessary tables benches and shelves. Miss Mary c. Hiltz of the Home economics faculty at the University was to be assisted by miss Iva Halsall in conducting the experiments on Canning Mullet in the is the year. The finest achievable Al.

There s nothing to making a pumpkin pie laughed Margaret not when you do it i guess there in to Mother. But your recipes Are always so trustworthy i m sure i can t a s i club social committees All Over the country Are wrack ing their brains for new entertain ment ideas or old ideas which can be used again. The following letter reflects a common plight. A Young Man writes dear mrs. Thompson i am Secretary of the Young people s association in our town. Very few meetings Are what. I Call successful. At our first meet ing this year 40 members turned up but last time there were Only 14 usually More girls than boys come. We hold our meetings in the Church or a Large House. It usually starts getting Dull when games Are being played. We play the same games Over and Over again until no one wants any games please suggest some new games and give us some advice on How we could make the meetings More interesting. This would be deeply appreciated. Your with it too can be played in couples or every Man for himself. Guessing advertising slogans is another old timer which never fails to amuse there is a Host games which can be played without any preparation. One of the Best is what is somebody goes out of the room the rest think up an object Lor him to guess. I was at a party recently where Ghandi s loin cloth and Hitler s moustache were among the things to be guessed. The person outside comes Back and asks questions of each person around the Circle Only the an Swers no and i Don t know being permitted. Usually he guesses but some of the questions sound very funny to those who know the answer. Proverb3, adverbs and conversations Are also Good fun. It would be a sound idea for your club to raise funds and buy some in the Lake and was generally a nuisance. Still another very annoying thing about the fish As far As the fishermen were concerned was that quite a Large percentage of mullets were caught along with the fish that could be sold and to add insult to injury they were not allowed to throw the mullets Back into the Lake but had to take any that were caught in the nets All the Way Back to Shore to dump them. All of which resulted in a great Deal of wasted time and Energy for the fishermen. Nothing was done about this problem until one Winter when some enterprising fishermen started freezing some of the mullets that came in with their catch. They packed some of this Frozen fish in 100 Pound sacks and Little by Little the Sale of these sacks of fish increased. Last Winter it was noticed that people were coming from great distances to buy supplies of these Frozen mullets and on investigation it was found that some pounds of mullets had been bought by Cash and carry customers and by mail orders and had gone As far West As Alberta and As far East As port Arthur. Newly built Laboratory. After some preliminary tests were made it was decided that three recipes. Should form the basis o. Their experiments. One of these consisted of Plain Canning with Salt and some Flavouring another of the fish canned in a Tomat sauce and the third of the fish canned in a spiced vinegar sauce. At first the mules were canned in Glass jars but soon cans were found to be More practical. The actual processing of the fish was done in a steam pressure canner. The cans of fish were placed in the canner and processed for 90 minutes at 10 pounds pres sure which Means at a temperature of 240 Deg. F. The steam pressure canner was used because this is considered the Only scientifically Safe method of Canning fish. When the experiments were under Way it was found that the initial sum obtained from the government would not be enough and or. Grant was again commissioned to raise funds which he did time from the Industrial development Board and to the amount of the experiments on mullets however had barely gotten under Way when another waste product was brought to the attention of consisted of what could be done with the Pickerel Cheeks. Pickerel Cheeks Are just that and they Are obtained from Heads of Pickerel taken from fish that is shipped to Market either in the form of fillets or headless Pickerel. In Canning these the same three recipes that were used for the mullets were used along with an additional one using Oil. A rather surprising thing about this product is that it takes about 200 pounds of fish to obtain three pounds of the Pickerel Cheeks. However when you consider that thousands of pounds of the fish reefing e Ards Don t forget your overseas cards Early mailing is advisable store hours 9 . To 6 .

In these stirring times a Brief current events period should go Over. I Don t mean just a events but a discus Sion of High lights since the last meeting not More than 10 minutes Long Brief speeches might also be popular. At each meeting announce a subject for the next ses Sion and Tell members to find out something about it As a name would be drawn from a hat and somebody elected to talk for five minutes. Afterwards there could be heckling or informal discussion. You will find too that a regular quiz programme will arouse in Erest these information tests Are Resh every time. A Good Way is o have a different team of four Ake the stand every meeting answering questions arranged by a committee. However you should pick someone with personality to act As master of ceremonies and Lave him or her act every time. Everybody should have a turn at answering questions though and they will listen with sympathy As Well As interest to other people s s another method is to Divide the whole crowd into teams and have a general quiz. You could have five teams of eight when your club turned out in Force fewer other times. Arrange teams m rows and Tell the master of Cere monies to ask the first person to team 1. Then the first person in team 2, etc., going on to the second third and succeeding team Mem Bers this makes it easy to keep track of whose turn it is and who scores Points teams count a Point for each question answered correctly if a question is missed the Mower is either read aloud or someone is permitted to answer without scoring anything but you might also make charades a regular feature and ask people to bring old clothes and oddments for a costume Box. Have two or More teams according to the size of the crowd. Knowing that there would be charades people could think up Good words Between meetings. For variety you could pantomime stories or Nursery rhymes and have opposing sides guess what was portrayed. Books on games. Life of the costing Only a few cents outlines 50 different ones. The fun by Edna Geister is More expensive but has very Good ideas both for single games and Luck. Nokwood women s study group will hold a Tea and Sale of work at the Home of mrs. M Dolan 272 Eugenie Street nor Wood tuesday from 2.30 to 10 . Mrs. George Barefoot is convener , cd and mrs. A. Jordan will receive with mrs. Dolan. Well that was a fair amount of any kind of fish to be shipped out far so called worthless Mullet. The burning question then was what Are these people doing with this Frozen fish did t they know it would t fillet Worth any thing and did t they know the fish was full of Bones the answer these people knew All these they weren t even trying to eat it As fresh fish. They were taking it Canning it of had t someone thought of this before the fish could be canned with the Bones in and the Bones would turn As soft As the meat itself in the process. You can probably guess the next step. The idea of Canning the Mullet on a commercial basis right on the Shore of Lake Winnipegosis began to percolate. Then the problem of financing Hajj Are shipped from the Lake yearly either filleted or headless and that formerly the Heads were a. Sheer waste then you will realize How really worthwhile the Canning of this product can be. I have tasted both these pro ducts and although my taste runs to the spiced vinegar sauce Ana the Tomato sauce other Peoples tastes May differ. The manufacturers expect to have the product on the Market soon and the Canning is not to be limited to factories on the shores of Lake am told that a Canning factory in Winnipeg is going to prepare the product for the Market also., thus end eth the beginning of a modern fish Story and although i can t Tell you to remember the red and Blue or the White and Blue Label on the can because they Haven t a Label As can Tea you to remember the names Mullet and Pickerel Cheeks.
