SANITARY CANS
AT CORN FACTORY
New Machinery Installed Which Elm

Making Things Hum.

Few persons outside the Snowflake
canning factory on Vernon street real
ize what scene of activity the can
ming season there presents. The fac
tory is now running at full blast with
% hands employed, in charge of Supt.
A. c. Griffin, who is now engaged
there for his eighth year.
Some new machinery has just been
installed which requires the use of
open top or sanitary cans. The cans
are sealed by a rolling process, which
makes them air tight and more sani-
tary, doing away with the Old solder
ing process This entirely eliminates
the danger from solder and from the
acid used in soldering The same type
of machinery has been installed in tns-
factory in Westminster.
The acreage this season is about 400
acres, which is about the same as IN
former years, and with favorable
weather conditions it will yield about
100000 cans Of corn. A hard frost
would damage such sweet corn as had
not matured but thus far no serious
damage from frosts has been expert
enced since the. factory was built
Baxter Brothers of Maine, who own
the factory here. have five factories in
this state, enc in New hampshire and
six in Maine.

IS FIRST TO WIN
INVENTIONBADG

Scout Greame I. Smallwood,
of Troop No. 32, has recent
ly been awarded a merit
badge for invention by the
National Court of Honor. He
is the only Boy Scout in the
country to have successfully
passed the test for this hon
orable recognition, and it is
more than likely that he Will
be the only Scout that will
ever possess such an honor.
National headquarters has
decided to drop the inven-
ton merit badge test from
the list of merit badges on
account of the heavy en-
pense necessary in getting
the same. Scout Smallwood
now has thirY-eight merit
badges to his credit.
