Caption from St. Thomas Times-Journal, October 12, 1951, page one: “Scouts Prepare for Apple Day.”
1_3047: “More than 100 bushels of juicy red apples from one of the big orchards in Yarmouth Township, north of Sparta, were put through the sizing, grading and polishing machine at the Elgin Fruit Growers plant here Thursday afternoon for the Scouts and Cubs of St. Thomas to sell tomorrow. There will be drives of young proteges of the late Baden-Powell on the streets on Saturday and they should have no trouble marketing their wares, for no finer apples grow than those here in Elgin. Patrol Leader Jess Barrett, of the 8th St. Thomas Troop, Centre Street Baptist Church; Sixer Norman Brown, of the 1st St. Thomas Troop at Central United Church, and Second George Teasdale, also of the 8th St. Thomas Troop, watch while two plant workers inspect the stream of apples being processed.”
