o. nned. 'Nov; cannery machinery
lvs lately arrived and hud to be
set up ut once. A crev; of men

Mr .C.dF. Jcnes , cannery Icrem.n,
arrived on the last boat to sup
erintend the operation of the
cannery this ye.r. Mr.Jcnes h^s
had years of experience in cannery

istr .tive st_ff.
Another important piece of machin
ery necessary to the valley is a
new portable pea viner now being
assembled at the g:rage. It is
expected to be ready for use this

It was considered impossible to
depend upon the one st-ction-ry

long a haul for these farmers liv
ing far out in the valley.
