So far II we know, the tin can came into being, becIiue Napoleon was concerned It the great loss of his fighting men by Icurvy Ind food poisoning. This wu so great that he offered 12,000 francs to the discoverer of I method where- by his Imperial Irmies in many lands could be ntely fed eIsen- tiIl foods It all seasons of the year. At that time his offer would amount to about $2,500 United states currency, and would be con- sidered I fortu.ne. The value of the franc has changed greatly since then, for in 1951 we had I quite mod t dinner in Paris. France, and i oost us 1,000 fnnu each.
Nicholu Appert, I French con- fectioner, who preserved food by seI.ling- it in bottles that were placed in boiling water. won the prize. The firm of Donkin at Hall, about the some time in England, improved on the method of pre- serving meat and meat soup for the Royal Navy. by processing it in “vessels of tin." This was the forerunner of the tin can industry
This industry grew rapidly, so ihnt by 1890 the supply of tin- plato used In the United states was being imported from Eng- land and Wales. From then on in the United States the manu- .Icture of tinplate was made at- tractive by I high import tariff in Canada, however, the require- ments were imported largely from Great Britain as recently as i935.
. . .
The great iron and steel firms of Hamilton, Ontario. now pro- duce Ilmost all the tinplate re- quired in Canada. As iron and scrap steel Ire melted in the open- .iearth furnaces. and cooked with limestone and other materials, I steel suitable for tlnplate is pro- cured. The cooking is continued for about eleven hours when the molten steel is drawn from the furnIce into giant ladies, which carry 200 tons It I. time, and pour it into ingot molds. Gian‘. rollers then reduce the steel, af- ter further treatment. to slabs Lliree tons each in weight, L‘lLCI. nese slabs are heated and deliv- ered to the “hot mill," where. af- ter several reductions. it comes out II a coil of steel. The coil is pickled after cooling, and the scale removed, ready for cold rollini; into tinplate. Sulphuric acid and other materials are used in the pickling process, and the steel was through many washings before Lt emerges as a bright stiip of steel that is then covered with a vegetable oil to prevent rusting. it goes to the cold-rolling depart- ment in reeled coils.

it comes through the cold reduc- ing mill in strips about I mile long It the rate of 4,000 feet per minute. The palm oil rused Is I rolling medium, must be removed from the steel so that its surfaces can be tinned; for this purpose an alkali cleaning agent “Pennsalt" is used.’ a 0 .
There are two methods in use in producing tinplato that I! coated with I very thin layer of tin on both sides of the steel strip: In one method the steel is processed in sheet form. and dipped. in a molten mass of tin, after the steel plates have been treated with A zinc chloride-based flux, so that the tin will adhere to the steel sur- faces. When this method is used. the unit of sale is I "base box" containing in sheets 14 x 20 inches, this equals 31.360 square inches of surface_ and AI‘! pounds of tin are required to cover both sides of this area of steel. The thickness of the tin coating is said to be 0.00008 inch on each side.
The second method was I. deve- lopmcnt caused by world War II; when the British and Dutch tin mines in the Far East were seized by the Japanese. there developed in shortage of tin in North America. An electrolytic coating process that conserved tin came into general use; by its use, only one-quarter pound of tin was required foi each base box, that is, the same amount of tin by this method would produce six times as much tinplate. In this method. the steel coils are first thoroughly cleaned by pass- ing them through alkaline and pickling baths to remove scale.
They then pass through lht‘ electrolytic tin-plating bath, where the steel strip which is the "cath- ode" receives A UNIFORM deposit of tin from the “anode", the anode being I bar of pig tin immerscd in the bath. To operate such a line requires 17 tons of tin anodes. and 15,000 gals. of electrolyte. The tinplate comes out dull, and is brightened or “ fixed" by treating it with chrome acid. It then has to be cut the required size and sorted for shipping.
Types of Cans
Up to the end of the last cen- tury, commercial tin cans for food preparations were hand-soldered. open top or hole-and-cap type. To fill the latter type, the food had to be stuffed into the can through an opening less than ll; inch in circumference. and the separate cap with I small hole in the cen. tre, was sealed on with a solder- ing iron. The vent hole was closed after the cans were boiled.

POTATO GROWERS
The Provincial Marketing Board did not consult Island Potato Marketing Board on the the wording of the ballot. Why‘?
If the Potato Marketing Board is all that the Promoters claim it is. wouldn't common courtesy require the ballot and the questions to be asked? In other words, your producer- conirolled Board is dictated to by a three-man non-producer‘ Board.

that the Board be consulted on
It is always accepted by those who are interested in the Potato indus- try that a Provincial Potato Board is a desirable organization to further the interest and to give leadership to the industry in every way. Is this what the farmers are askedio confirm? We feel that on the surface it is, but in reality the promoters have something else in mind which is a compulsory Pool and one man selling for the whole potato crop financed only by the grower's potatoes.

Ii would create an auiocrat whose ideas would be forced on all. No auiocrat could sell potatoes on a competitive market.
The present marketing arrangement has antagonized the custom- ers for our potatoes, after having lost the United States Spring seed trade, and if It were not financed by the Dominion Govern- mcn‘ this would have ended in disaster.
Service, quality, and previous connections would be all gone. Compulsory Pools in any other vegetable produce have all faded
Financing a c0nipulsoi'_v Pool can only be done with the fai'mct"s own potatoes, and he pays for all mistakes.
