An The Weevils Be Kept
By Elizabeth S. Williams
ITHEN I was in the Cook Islands ▼ I talked with the C.I.P.A. (really the Cook Islands Pro
icers Co-operative Association),
)out their insisting that the flour anufacturers pack some flour in oisture-proof containers for ship ent to the Islands.
Housewives in the little-visited lands of the Cook Group complain lat their grimy sacks of flour are ioiled when they arrive—ships only .11 about once or twice a year.
Before World War II they re ived their flour in well-lined irrels and the flour arrived in good ndition and kept fairly well, free weevils. Now, when it arrives, is often a mass of weevils.
The Association said it would look to the matter, earnestly. Can her Pacific Islands Associations likewise, thus making a concerted >peal to Australian flour sellers?
I recall our flour problems in the domon Islands. It is hard enough r Europeans to get a proper meal gether, without having to bother th the white worms running about the flour, starches arid cereals, they are delivered, They appear ry quickly in these climates.
