DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to all our mothers, grand-
mothers and great-grandmothers. Our homes today, as
in their day, are centered around our kitchens. Many
of these recipes date back to their day and we, the
sponsors, have compiled these recipes and added a few
of our own more modern ones in honor of these women.

HISTORY OF CLAYBURN VILLAGE

Clayburn is a small village situated about three
miles from Abbotsford which is known as the "Hub of
the Fraser Valley."

Around 1906 brick-clay deposits were discovered in
the mountains behind where the village now stands. A
company was formed and a kiln built. Soon bricks were
being made and the little village flourished. Naturally
only one name seemed suitable for it and that was
"Clay Burn" or Clayburn.

In recent years this company sold out part of its
interest to another company and is now known as the
"Clayburn-Harbison Co. Ltd."' Their bricks are world
famous.
