C annery Term inates Successful
Season
(~ )N October 19th, the Chemawa cannery, which
has been in operation since last July under
Mr. O ’Reilly, finished canning the last fruits and
vegetables for the season and ceased operation.
D uring these m onths the cannery was in oper
ation 8700 cans of fruits and vegetables were
canned. These cans contain m ainly: blackberries,
young berries, prunes^rhubarb, plums, peaches,
cherries, swiss chard, corn, beets, carrots, and
tomatoes. Mr. O ’R eilly’s cannery crew also
canned 1100 cans of tomato juice.
In addition to the canning of the fruits and
vegetables listed above, 7530 cans of salmon were
canned for the Celilo Indians. To pay for the. cost
of canning the salmon for these Indians, the
school kept one-fourth of this total and the bal
ance of the canned salmon was sent to the various
Indian families. Forty-four Indian families had
their food supply increased in this way.
W hile the cannery was in operation, 174 high
school girls assisted in the canning process and
recieved no pay for their services, Mr. O ’Reilly
has expressed his appreciation for their cooper-
tiôn in getting this work done, and the schoqj
appreciates the work of these girls who have made
it possible for these fruits and vegetables to be
served in their dining hall during the year.
Besides the fruits that were canned in the
Chemawa cannery two tons of prunes from our
orchards were dried in Salem.
A fter the cannery closed, the 174 high school
girls were surprised when they were told they
would be given a trip to the coast, and are now
w aiting for clear weather so they may enjoy this
holiday at the ocean.
