V.LU reprints Elora history John Connon's history of Elora and vicinity,; originally published in,, 1930 and ,dor years almost impossible to obtain, has been reissued by Wilfrid Laurier Uni- versity, Waterloo, an a contribu- tion to an understanding of local history. In an introduction, Dr, Gerald Noonan, professor of English at the university, points oat that the book is a compilation of material that first appeared in the' Elora Express between 1900 and 1909, plus additional material 11P-, parently written in 1926. The new edition,, which is a photocopy of the original, details the spread of settlementsup the Grand River just after, ice,, It fulfills Connon's prophecy that "long years after this it(the book) will prove useful to those who really want . `to know the history of our country." The book also . details the invention by John Column of the world's 'first panoramic camera (a photo of the camera is 'in- cluded), plus the story of his father's invention of a roll holder for film. What became of the camera, remains somewhat of a mystery. The full title of the book is "The Early History of Elora, Ontario, and Vicinity", and• it tells many little-known stories. One such is the story, �Of Florence Nightin- gale's secretlbveolr Johan ,.>< .. cw .� ram,. a Smzthb grid w another tells about David Boyle, the Middle- brook school teacher who became the first provincial archaeologist. The book is being made available at a cost of $3.50 per copy a the WLU bookstore and various shops in the area. BEAUTY SECRET It was believed in ancient.

Today's chefs are accustofed to the conveniences. of stainless steel, electricity and dish- washers. But not the army cook — he sweated over a blazing fire, stirring stew in a heavy iron cauldron with clumsy utensils. The man in this unenviable position was a cooking school graduate known as thebattalion serjeant cook. His duties included buying groceries, preparing meals and training his helpers, the company cooks and assistant cooks. Until the 1820's, soldiers in the British Army, paid for their rations and did all their own cooking in the barrack rooms. After that period, the men still paid, but now they were allowed to draw hot meals from the cook- house. There were two cookhouses at Fort Henry in 1867 — one for the men and one for their wives and families. Here, meat was roasted on a spit before an open fire, while soups, stews, potatoes and vegetables were boiled in huge black cauldrons. Since these pots were too heavy to be removed for cleaning, you can imagine the layer of grease and scraps that accumulated on the bottom ! At . mealtime, one man from each barrack room was appoint- ed to set the tables, fetch the men's rations from the cook- house, bring them back to the barrack roam and dish them out. And, as if that wasn't enough, he had to wash all the dishes! Meals were certainly nothing for a hungry soldier to look forward to. In 1867, a man's daily rations were a pound of meat, a pound of bread, and a half pound of potatoes, with tea or coffee. If he wished to supplement that, he could bay jam, marmalade, but- ter and other Oodles at the can- teen, or grow his own vegetables in a garden provided for that pur- pose. By the turn "of the century, rations had improved for the men at Port Henry to the extent that they were issued luxury items like jam and fruit. But still the men's lot could not compare with the officers'. An officer, who was rich enough to afford any delicacy on the market, dined alone m his quarters for breakfast and lunch. These meals were prepared for him in the officers' kitchen by his servant. In the evening, the privileged few took tea and dinner together in the officers' mess, attended by their servants. Today, Old Fort Henry is restored as an historic site, and is operated by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission in Kingston, Ontario. There is no longer an army to feed, but the baker is still busy. He invites you, the visitor, to come and try a loaf of fresh whole wheat bread, baked daily in brick ovens.

The Indian, according to historian Hendrik Van Loon, domesticated more plants than any other race of men. The corn he gave to the world should in itself have made us repent him as a man of rare enlightenment and perception. But the Indian never learned `' hew 'to make instant puddings of his 'corn, or plastics or cornflakes or Bourbon whiskey. And he never bothered to lay waste vast stretches of the' forest and mine his soil,to mass. produce it, nor did he learn how to play games with it on the stock market in the hope of making himself rich overnight. So we who are white and very, very progressive and alert will probably go right . on believing that if it hadn't been for the white man's coming, the Indian would still be a pagan savage. • Joyce Trailers - • Sunkamper Trailers • Chrysler Marine • Sportspal Canoes "Check Our -Prices Before You Buy" MOORE'S Trailer Mart Ltd. 377 Huron Street Stretford - 273-1850 For FARM, TOWN and COUNTRY HOME OWNERS!
