Friend Dear:

We feel great joy to hear
that Mandarin Oranges we
have sent crossed the Pacific
safely in time for Christmas

Have you ever wondered, as'
you gratefully pecled and ate
the delicious Christmas-sea-
son fruit known in Canada as
“Jap Oranges’ or Mandarin
oranges, just where and how
they were raised? If you have
here is one answer,

Responding, on impulse, to

ne uhanimous opimon of the Provisional Council is
that the bounaaries shoulda extend beyond the ones at pre-
Sent being proposed. Like White Kock, Sunnyside, Cres-
Cen Dean una Ulan rurx are raplaly pecomimny urpanized.
Tnese areas suo0uld give caretul thought to tne question of
whether or not it would be to their aavantage to join forces

spread Municipality. *

When the present ward system is abolished it would
certainly seem tnat being on the fringe of a city, where cach r

would greatly be helpful to us
in future shipment.

In last Christmas over 2,000,-

darin Oranges have been sent
to Canada from Japan, of
which we participated up to
the quantity of over 330,000
boxes. Our Wakayama Prefec-

MARRIAGE FLOWER

‘These Mandarin Oranges
haye been planted in Waka-
yama for hundreds of years
with small, white flowers
blooming in the midst of May,
which signifies * Marriage in
Japan. The flowers turned in-
jto fruits, and passing through
|hot summer season, the fruits
grow bigger and develop its
fred-dish yellow colour.

In November from among

the fully-ripened oranges our
girls pick up, select and pack
with extreme assiduity such
‘oranges as would pass Japan-
se Government strict inspec-
tion and be welcome in your
Canada. Mandarin Oranges are
indispensable to New Year
Season in Japan, and are con-
sumed largely that at that
time the price becomes most
high. We, however, are con-
ducting the growers through
all the year round, so that we
may send you the whole quan-
tity required in Canada. It is
one of important objects for
which this association has
been formed, Japan Fruit
Growers’ Association in Tok-
yo controls nationally fruit
|growers in Japan.
We sincerely hope to have
|the pleasure of having our
) Mandarin Oranges welcome in
your country and are happy
to communicate with you by
exchange of letters.

With our best wishes, and
|looking foreward to continu-
jing the delightful intercourse
|with you in many years to
|come, we remain,

Very cordially yours.
Misono-Cho,
For Wakayama Fruit Growers.

IT SEEMS A STRANGE
aoe that a Sounaniners

orth Surrey would argue the
case for the municipality help-
‘ing to pay maintenance costs
of comfort stations in the re-
sort areas of Crescent Beach
and White Rock and the Coun-
cillors for both wards in those
areas missed a chance to have
the costs shared by offering to
pay for them all out of their
&ppropriations.

Yet that is what appears to
have happened at the last
Council meeting, It’s true that
some Wards reported no
moneys from 1956 appropria-
tions, but what of 1957?

For years White Rock-Cres-
cent, too, have fought for im-
provements to the comfort sta-
|tion facilities in these two
much-frequented, summer re-
creational centres. Now, when
Council, with the backing of
|Councillor Readman takes up
{the problem in a constructive
manner, Councillors for Wards
6 and 7 offer to take on full
responsibility for their main-
tenance cost. As Councillor
Readman rightly pointed out
all of Surrey uses the beaches
in the two areas. Some people
even refer to them as “our
South Surrey” beaches, sug-
gesting a proprietary interest,

This whole thing is a matter
for which residents here have
a right to ask an explanation.
