E. P. Jonsson,
Editor, “Logberg”,
Winnipeg, Man.
Dear friend:
Every time I see a copy of
“Logberg”, my conscience begins
to trouble me because I am re-
minded of thfe times you have
asked me to please send in news
items regarding my work in New
Iceland. I promised you that I
would send a resume of the
ministerial acts that I have per-
formed since coming here last
April. So, without further delay,
the first installment is presented:
weddings that I have conducted
in New Iceland (where at least
one of the parties is of Icelandic
background) from the time of
our arrival here until the end of
the year.
May 20 in the Gimli Lutheran
Church, Jonina Gudbjorg Bjar-
nason, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
I. N. Bjarnason, was given in
marriage to Mr. Albert Henry
Campbell. Wedding reception
followed in the Parish Hall,
Gimli. The young couple now
live in Winnipeg. The brides-
maid was a cousin, Aurora
Stevens of Gimli, while the
groomsman was his brothe,r H.
T. Campbell of Winnipeg.
May 27, Frances Leora Came-
ron of Winnipeg was married to
Sven Johan Tergesen, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Tergesen of Gimli.
The witnesses at the ceremony
which was held in the Lutheran
Church, were Mr. G. Fogg and
Lois Sullivan of Winnipeg. A
wedding 'reception was held at
the Gimli Parish Hall. The cou-

Parísarborg, 20. des. —Alls-
herjarþing S. Þ. samþykkti
í dag með 45 atkvæðum
gegn 6, að sett skuli á fót
nefnd, er rannsaki hvort
skilyrði séu til frjálsra
kosninga í Þýzkalandi. —
Fimm kommúnistaríki A.-
Evrópu og Israel greiddu
atkvæði gegn tillögunni.
Fulllrúi Islands í kosninga-
nefndinni.
Samþykkt var, að fulltrúar
íslands, Brazilíu, Pakistans,
Hollands og Póllands taki sæti
í nefndinni. Pólski fulltrúinn
hefir lýst yfir, að Pólverjar vilji
engan hlut eiga að nefndinni,
en menn vona, að þeir taki
sinnaskiptum. — Þá hafa og
Austur-Þjóðverjar tilkynnt, að
nefndin fái ekki leyfi til að koma
inn í landið og gera þar athug-
anir.
Hefst handa upp úr nýjárinu.
Vishinsky hélt því fram, að
verkahringur nefndarinnar mið-
aðist við störf, er S. Þ. væri ó-
viðkomandi.
Nefndin tekur til starfa eins
fljótt og unnt er eftir áramótin,
en að líkindum verður aðalverk-
svið hennar í Vestur-Þýzka-
landi.

I trust that I have made no
omissions of what I intended to
do (reporting weddings con-
ducted by me in New Iceland,
where one or both of the parties
involved are of Icelandic back-
ground. It might be interesting
to note that nearly half of these
are Icelandic on both sides).
Some 'facts I should have in-
cluded, but not having the in-
formation at hand, I wanted to
send it incomplete as it is, rather
than delay longer.
Sincerely yours,
H. S. SIGMAR.
BARLEY IN THE
NON-MALTING INDUSTRIES
In addition to the Malting industry, barley is used in the
Milling and Feeding Industries. In Canada the milling or food
industry uses from 300,000 bushels to 500,000 bushels annually.
In the milling industry the first process is to remove the
hull. This is done through attrition rolls or in a revolving
drum with loose stones. The dehulled material is known as
“pot barley” and is used primarily iif soups. The larger
demand is for “pearl barley”, where the attrition process is
continued until the outer portion of the dehulled kernel is
removed, giving the material more the appearance of pearls.
This product is used in soups and to a more limited extent in
puddings.
The dehulled grain is also ground into flour which is used
in the preparation of “baby foods” and in certain types of
cooking. Another use of the dehulled grain is in the manu-
facture of prepared breakfast foods and rolled barley, a
product very similar to rolled oats.
The amount of barley used in the feeding industry varies
depending on the production. Normally including that fed on
the farms, it will range from about 80,000,000 bushels to
150,000,000 bushels. The larger portion is used in combination
with other grains and concentrates compounded on the farms.
The balance is used by the Feed Processing Industry in varying
proportions depending largely on the price in comparison with
other grains.
Barley is used largely in hog feeding. It has been found
to produce better bacon than corn or oats. It is also valuable
in fattening cattle, usually mixed with other grains such as
oats. In feeding dairy cattle and poultry, it can be used in
combination with other grains and concentrates.

Institute, 206 Grain Exchange Building, Winnipeg.
