THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER w8m?" FIRST STEP in the making of apple cider is to shred the apples in a grinder, such as this one at the Frad.v Orchards in Francis Cove, operated here by Mrs. Harold Haney, Small but sound apples are used for cider. SHREDDED APPLES are next put irto this cider press, operated by Mrs. Frady, and the juice is squeezed out by pressure applied by a large screw and handwhccl. Cider is first caught in a bucket, strained, and then put into glass jugs for stor age and sales. WILLING SAMPLER of her mother's apple cider is Rose Ellen Erady, who dem onstrates her drinking technique while holding her dog, Tige. Rose Ellen will celebrate her fourth birthday in just a few days, but she says she will have five candles on her birthdav cake. (Mountaineer I'hotos). Careful Blend Of Apples Essential To Make Tasty Cider, Says Mrs. Frady By BOB CONWAY In the fall?when cool breezes ! sweep across the mountains?a lot of folks hereabouts allow that ? nothing tastes better than a glass j of dark, tangy apple eider. j i Cider is a favorite all over the | U.S., but despite its popularity, j sales of the bracing beverage have been dropping in recent years. ' The reason, according to Mrs. ' Cosby Frady of the Frady Orchards I In Francis Cove, is that cider mak- j ing doesn't lend itself well to as-1 -embly-line methods. Most of the old-time cider mills 1 in this region turn out a far j better drink than the large manu facturer, she believes. In most instances, Mrs. Frady Contends. commercially bottled I rider is* either tasteless, or has a , somewhat bitter taste. Because f many people have been sold in ferior products, she adds, makers of good eider have suffered. The eider-making trade also has been hurt by the practice of using overly ripe and sometimes rotten apples in the cider press, Mrs. l'rady points out. At her orchard, however, she soys, only sound apples?washed our times?are used to make cider. Her particular "recipe" is to use a ' mixture of two-thirds of sweet I apples to one third of tart varieties. | Making cider, Mrs. Frady ex I plains, is a comparatively simple process. Apples first are dumped into a grinder, where they are shredded into pieces. They are next put into a press, where the apples are squeezed fty pressure j from a screw turned by a wheel. Juice running from the cider press i is caught in clear-glass gallon jugs ! and these containers are put in a ccol place to avoid early fermenta tion. Some people, Mrs. Frady said, like their eider sweet; some like it hard, and others buy it and convert it into apple wine. Like milk, eider is sometimes pasteurized and Mrs. Frady is cur | rently experimenting with pas ! teurization after the cider has been allowed to ferment two weeks?to mellow its flavor. The new highway across Pigeon | Gap has hurt her business < people ; drive by too fast, she points out), but she is slowly building it back to its former proportions. Mrs. Frady said she has sold as much as 100 gallons a day, and she believes those days will come again when people learn to dis tinguish old-fashioned eider made right, at the orchard from the in-j : ferior product. ' ? 1 Champion To Close Store Soon The Champion Employees' Store, i Inc., a subsidiary of the Carolina 1 Division of the Champion Paper and Fibre Company, will discon tinue operations at the end of its current fiscal year on March 31. 1957. The date set for closing the re-j tail establishment was reveal ed today in an announcement 1 to all Champion employees, made [ jointly by Reuben B. Robertson, I Champion president and chairman of the board, and H. A. Holder, vice president and general manag er of the Carolina Division. It was explained that the decis- j ion to close the. Employees' Store was made in the light of space demands for Champion's recently announced multi-million dollar ex pansion program. The present ? store building is in the area in which Champion's huge hew No. 1 20 Pepi r Machine will be install |ed. j The announcement pointed out ; that postponement of closing the store beyond March 31, 1957, would seriously interfere with con- i | * I i struction plans. i It has been the custom of the ' Employees' Store to pay its cus ; tomers a liberal trade dividend [each year. This dividend will be i paid in trade in December of this j j year as usual. Another dividend, . based on a full year's business, will j ; be paid in cash as soon as possible ' following the closing of the store.
