Rambling With Lucy
(Lucy R. Woods)
How many eggs will you eat on Easter morning?
There was great rivalry amongst youngsters at school
• over half a century ago as to who could east the most eggs
on Easter morning.
Lucy started out with a large appetite one year but
was only able to consume two for breakfast, while her sister,
three years younger, managed four nicely, she recalls.
But when she went back to school after the holiday and
learned that some 'had eaten six or eight, she felt her capa-
city for eggs was on the puny side. If she recalls correctly
Don Murray, was 'the self-styled champion egg-eater that
year. He averred that he'd eaten 12 eggs for Easter break,
fast.
Eggs and chickens have been associated with. Easter
since the early Christian era. Customs vary in different
countries. The chicken breaking' out of the egg 'shell is
symbolic of the Resurrection.
A farmer's wife explained to Lucy that in the days
before thickens were raised on the mass production scale
with all the aids of special feeds and lighting, there were
not so many eggs' in the winter. But as spring approached
every hen got 'busy preparing to raise a brood. So eggs
were in plentiful supply for Easter and members of most
families enjoyed them as a treat, consuming them to their
heart's content—or perhaps Lucy should say stomach's con-
tent!
A resident of Stanley Township—now a grandfather—
when he' was "a little shaver" was visiting at a relative's
home. The lady of the house asked him haw many eggs he'd
eaten 'at breakfast on Easter Day. He 'hummed and hawed
and then burst out: "Well, I 'had a double-yolked goose egg
and that counts 'for two!"
Yes, in those Par off days, Lucy sampled a double-yolked
goose egg and turkey eggs too (which for double yolk or
irregular shape were not used for setting), from the farm
of her 'father's cousin, William H. Woods. The large goose
egg was quite a meal!
Lucy's father was very fond of duck eggs and often at
Easter came 'the precious gift of a few eggs for the doctor
from one of his patients.
• The Bell boys, sons of Willis Bell, Goderich Township,
decided that they'd really have a feast one year. They col-
lected eggs and 'had about a pail full hidden in a nest in the
hay. Their father knew of it, but said nothing.
Just before Easter, there was a hatch of chickens in
the 'incubator. Willis Bell gathered up all the broken shells.
He removed the eggs from their hidden nest, substituting
the broken shells! Imagine the boys' surprise!
The champion Easter egg eater in Bayfield, years ago,
is reported 'to have been Richard ("R.it") McDool, who is
said to have topped off 36 on one festival.
There are still those people who prefer eggs to meat
and fish. Lucy often wished during World War II when the
meat ration was in force 'that she could eat even one egg
a clay!
Several years ago, Joe Corey, the well.known manager
of the Clinton Community Sales barns, and Bill Robinson, a
fish dealer in Sarnia ('formerly of Bayfield), met at the
Cities Service Lunch •Room in Bayfield. A wager as to who
could eat the most eggs was made.
Joe Corey polished off 18 cooked and Bill Robinson
downed 16 raw eggs. There is no telling how many more
they'd have stored in nature's bread basket had not the egg
supply at the lunch counter been completely depleted.
Quite apart from eating eggs, Lucy heard the tale of
how one farmer incurred his sister-in-law's wrath some 40
years ago. He demolished 41 eggs in one crack—of the shot
gun! He was sitting on the verandah with a shot gun across
his knees watching for blackbirds in his cherry tree. Beside
him was a pail of eggs which the housewife had placed there
for the egg man to collect.
Accidentally, the farmer's finger pulled the trigger of
the gun. The wagon box received the charge of Shot. The
gun butt recoiled against the pail! A sad tale!
