Rambling With Lucy
(Lucy a Woods)
What if one of those .whopping big snowstorms hit
Bayfield and isolated it? 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.
