SUMAS DISTRICT Sumas Prairie farmers will not have as large an acreage of peas this year as in 1936, but there will be a very great increase in the portion seeded to clover. Miss Arnould has her headquarters in*the Sumas municipal hall, where offices have been equipped for her work. The Sumas agricultura] hall is un- dergoing some changes. A stage and kitchen are being added, and water works are being installed. Extensive improvements are taking ‘place in the grounds adjacent to the Sumas municipal hall and school. Shrubs and trees have been planted, and rockeries have been built. The new work has added a great deal to the comfort and attractiveness of the school and hall grounds.

HUMBLE FOOD WINS PRAISE Long associated as a dish for the masses in Mngland, the humble fish and chips js apparently gaining re- cognition in Canada. At least one large restaurant chain in Toronto and ‘Montreal makes a feature of this dish and according to the caterer has struck a yery responsive chord in the palates of their customers. i Recently a columnist in the British Fishing News predicted that fish and chip shops in this country, if they were properly developed, could ab- sorb 60 per cent of the fish landed, as they do in Great Britain, In the old country, he says, everyone in the | business earns a good living, especial- ly the fisherman who benefits by the vast markets created by this lively) trade. A few Canadian restaurant execu- tives are of the opinion that the hum- ble fish and chips has real possibi- lities. The only handicap in the past according to one, has been that no effort has been made to place this business on a quality basis.- The mer- | chandising of fish and chips has been largely confined to’ poorer districts and people have been poorly educat- ed to think of fish and chips as the wholesome and savoury food it is. Were more restaurants to feature | it and give it the imprimatur of qual- | ity, there might very well be a new| habit created among Canadians and a Substantial fillip given to the fish | industry. | Hem inti HAHA) ! il i h I a Modern Hotel Facilities a a aii a i As, Es LIS TS LAT LI AE) aD LI ED IS DS DN LD ED I DD a aE ‘HOTEL ATANGARD aS SSS SSS SSS SD WOOO OO OOo eee Superior Service .
