A historical collection discusses the tomato in Europe and Americas, noting early tastes by the Halicans and misperceptions as a fruit or ornament. It provides old fashioned recipes and instructions for tomato based dishes, fillings, and a Virginia catsup variant.
A reader recalls a Saskatchewan article about Chaplin and Tom Murphy’s son George, notes coincidences with a writer, and reflects on treeless prairies now sheltered by shelter belts. The Saskatchewan letter leads to Ontario Fall Fair observations, noting a Girls Pipe Band, a WU exhibit, red ribbons for neighbors, and a community spirit.
A reader laments the slow adjustment to time zone changes from Guelph to Montreal and notes radio schedules misalign across cities. The piece also mentions postwar rationing shifts in Italy and Korea era canteen meals, with butter meat bacon and sugar allotments in flux.
