THOSE RUPERT STRAWBERRIES

In a recent issue the Prince Rupert
News spoke about . the strawberries
grown in Prince Rupert and: remarked
that they had not quite. tlé flavor of
fhe Vaneouver Island betries. What
we cannot understand is “why go to
Vancouver Island for flavor Avhen the’
xtrawberries at Remo, Terrace and at
Yanaredol have a far superior flavor
to anything Vancouver Island. It is
a i great pity that folk who come from
4M Vancouver or from. the Island and’ get
their living in the north:never seem:to
gain any. appreciation of ‘the north’ ‘dnd.
