Have you your two weeks supply of canned foods laid in against a possible atomic; attack? That supply would come in very handy. How many recall the winter of 1947 when Bayfield was practically isolated for a week? Milk for babies only was flown from Goderich. The plane landed on Clan., Gregor Square. And there wasn't a tin of condensed milk, fish, meat or lunch snack deft on any of the grocery store shelves. The bread box was empty and people had to resort to mak- ing biscuits, pancakes and bread, if they had the •ingredients. There were no fresh vegetables. • -. The farther we grow from pioneer days, the more we live from hand to mouth it seems. Fifty years ago in Bayfield ehe milk supply was stabled in the barn, Or if it happened that one didn't possess a cow, one walked each day to a neighbour who had one for the necessary amount of milk. And one stored up a supply for the winter. The fruit cellar held rows of preserves, jellies and jams. Beets, carrots and other root vegetables were packed in sand to keep them from withering. Every cellar held a winter supply of apples and potatoes or they were pitted in the ground, Always in August, Lucy's father bought four or five hundred pounds of flour before the new wheat came in, And sugar was purchased by the hundred pound bag. Then there was the carcass of pork which the doctor insisted on cutting up himself. And after that the render- ing of lard, cleaning the feet for headcheese. Yes, young as she was, it fell to Lucy's lot to hold the feet on a long- handled fork in the wood coals at the front of the old cookstove until the hooves could be pried off. (There is so much nourishing jelly in the feet but now-a-days labour is so high that the butcher cannot afford to have them cleaned and they go for fertilizer. Is it any wonder that starving people think us extravagant?) When she grew older there were the small intestines to clean for the sausage—no one made better sausage than Lucy's mother. Or is it that memory sharpens the appetite! And the •tasty bits which came out of that old pork barrel in the shed! Come spring, the hams, shoulders and sides were removed from the brine, dried and smoked, before being well-peppered and hung, with cotton bag coverings, in a dark room. . This was a general proceedure in Bayfield in those ' days for there were few who didn't raise a pig or buy a carcass in the fall. Also in that shed hung half a mutton and a quarter of beef every winter. (It must have been colder then, for they never spoiled). And for variety there was salted lake trout (sometimes smoked) or one could go to the hen house and chop off an old hen's head, In the pantry one found dried beans and split peas. They made such good nourishing dishes, but nowre-clays--- well, 'one must watch one's waistline! Yes, those old-fashioned pantries held a goodly supply, kept baking cool and commodities dry. (But they've gone out of style, There is no room for them in the modern house.) • And so ie. thoSe days, the local store stocks were not depleted as modern Shelves would be if a bad storm isolated the village. For those who didn't bake, there was Thos. King's Bakery; for those who didn't keep hens, eggs could always be purehated from a neighbour or at the store where they were taken for trade. ' Yes, it Wouldng matter if We had no mail for five days as in 1047 as long as we had previsions. Let us develop the habit of retaining a two week's supply of canned goods against any cetaatrophe.
