Remember our parents* and
grandparents' tales of barn-
raising bees and quilting
bees and apple-paring bees?
As society, grew more
saphisticated, people
became self-reliant, but the'
volunteer didn't disappear.
For many years, the majori-
ty of volunteers. it seems,
were women. Men brought
home the bacon, and
because it was less accep-
table for women to join the
work force, they carried on
the noble art of volunteer-
ing,
Then came wars; men
Went to battle; women
replaced them in the job
mart, and things were never
quite the same. Somehow
though, someone always
found time •to work for
organizations. such as the
Red Cross, or to make
dressings for the wounded or
to collect clothes for
refugees.
Society has undergone
•
tremendous change since the
hard times of the Depres-
sion. Its most recent stage
was dubbed the "me"
generation, in which each
person looked after himself.
But even through the
"me" generation, the
volunteer was around, The
numbers of volunteers may
have diminished at times,
but their dedication never,
failed. Today's volunteer is
usually the person who
squeezes an extra hour or an
extra evening out of an
already full calendar.
Volunteers give their
time, energy and talent free-
ly for something they
believe in, whether it's
collecting clothes for a fami-
ly whose house was burned
or helping a neighbouring
community clean up their
town after a disaster or tak-
ing part in annual fund-
raising events for charity.
They deserve a tip of the
hat, a pat on the back and a
big "thank you."

once a year, usually anytime
during the period from about
early March through mid-
April, a season of about three
to six weeks in Ontario.
Maple sap contains from 1
to 4 percent sugar. Once
collected from the trees1 the
sap is boiled until it reaches
a minimum of 66 percent
sugar; the result is pure
maple syrup. It takes from
30 to 40 gallons of maple sap
to make one gallon of maple
syrup.
In Ontario, all maple syrup
sold for retail must be
labeled "Maple Syrup" or
"Pure Maple Syrup," say
the marketing officers at the
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food. The
name and address of the
producer or the packer and
the quantity of maple syrup
must also appear on the
container. Products labeled
"Pancake Syrup" and
"Table Syrup" are not pure
maple syrup, and will in-
dicate the words "artificially
maple flavored" on their
labels, Always check the
labels to be sure which kind
of syrup you're buying.
Enjoy this spring with the
taste of maple syrup. Watch
for the new decorative
packaging on the containers,
and always be sure it's
maple syrup from Ontario.

Odds 'n Ends
Hats off to volunteers.
By ELAINE TOWNSH END
,t4very community has
them. How could a com-
munity exist without them?
Those quiet unassuming peo-
ple who give their time,
talent and, energy for free to
causes they believe are
worthwhile.
They raise money for
charity on a local level as
well as a wide scale. They
provide transportation for
homebound persons: they
visit shut-ins and hospital
patients; they stuff
envelopes; they work at gar-
• age sales and bake sales and
any other kind of sale they
can think of.
When someone needs help,
they are there. Last year's
tornado at Woodstock was
an example of people
travelling for hundreds of
-miles to lend their backs to
the clean up campaign.
Volunteers reach outside
their communities when
help is needed.
They assist in hundreds of
ways, large or small,
sometimes receiving little
or no recognition. Their
reward is. I suppose, the
satisfaction of knowing
someone has been comforted
or a goal has been reached
or t job has been well done,

When I think of volunteers
at this time of year. I picture
the red-,checked women and
men who take part in door-
to-door canvassing for fund-
raising campaigns of various
charities. Neither snow nor
hail now wind nor rain nor
dark of night can keep these
volunteers from their ap-
pointed rounds.
Besides the weather, can-
vassers face the frustration
of evenings spent trudging to
ten houses. nine of them
empty.
Occasionally they're met
at doors by people who are
less than gracious in their
refusal to give. None of us
are forced to donate when a
canvasser knocks on our
door. Why be belligerent
about it?
No matter how generous
we may think we are, I'll bet
most of us have thought to
ourselves at one time or
another, "If we're not being
asked to shell out for 'one
thing, it's something else,"
Maybe that's the reason
for a few cool receptions,
canvassers and other
volunteers are doing
something they believe in.
Through them,we can con-
tribute, if we want to. In my
mind, volunteers are the un-
sung *heroes of every com-
munity.
The practice of giving
one's time and energy freely
to help a neighbour or a
stranger was most prevalent
in pioneer days when, out of
necessity people were more

It's maple syrup time
again in Ontario. Maple
syrup, of course, is made
from maple sap, the nutrient
liquid which is used by the
tree for growth. To start the
sap running in the maple
tree, a marked seasonal
change from the cold of
winter to a prolonged warm
yet frosty spring of warm
days and cool nights is
necessary. The sap runs only
