Paga Clinton News-.Record---Thurs., March 26, 1964 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!
