"SALES BACKED BY SERVICE”
a
Some years ago an American
magazine asked a number of fa-
mous writers to select the words
which they considered ta bye the
most behutiful in the English:
language. The word 'morning'
got the most 'votes, followed
closely by 'dawn', `golden',
'glory', `mother' and `mellow'.'
But one of the more curious nomi-
nations received was from the
countryman poet Robert Frost
who said that the most delightful
sensation the language bad for
him was,, to hear the words 'cellar
door'.
Seems to me that Frost must
have been thinking of the cellar
door of a farmhouse and the bliss-
fully cool dark locked behind it on
a sun -blistered summer's day.
And I'm willing to bet that there
wassomething cool to drink
behind that door too when Frost
sneaked in from the sweat and
thistles of the hayfield.
What would that drink be?' Well
I can't know what Robert Frost
had stashed away in his cellar - a
barrel of cider maybe --but at our
house it was homemade Hires
Root ' Beer. Remember the
powerful little bottle of Hires Ex-
tract that mother , would buy at
the grocer's - if, that is, there was
a little money left over after the
essentials were safe in the
buggy? If used to cost 35 cents,
and with that 35 cent brown bottle
dumped into a copper boiler with
enough sugar and yeast and
water you could have four gallons
of drink that was fit for the king
of Araby. It wasn't quite that sim-
ple, of course. You had to put the
brew in airtight sealers first and
give it time to mature, and there
were some problems to that
maturing. Those Mason jars of
unripe brew had tO be put to rest
on the darkest, coolest part of the
cellar .floor. (A dirt floor was
supposedly better than cement.)
And the worst thing that could
happen to the mix, or so our
mother always warned, was to
have it opened before it was time.
It took six days for that concoc-
tion to attain its proper magic, al-
though for all our mother's
worrying about it .I can never
recall a.batch that :was allowed to
mature full term without some-
one sneaking in to sample it. In-
d c aatc?. a alt
l �g tide
fact -that -Fong before the' six days
were up, the yeast and Hires Ex-
tract would have combined to
build up a pressure that would
nearly make a. jar blow its top,
and after you had quaffed a glass
or two the resulting burp was
powerful enough to bring tears to
your eyes.
Even when it was officially
ready, we weren't allowed to
have it until it pleased mother to
serve it with due .ceremony. That
might. be 'Sunday after supper
perhaps, or when company came
and you cranked up a batch of
homemade ice cream to go with
it. Other than that about the only
time you' got a drink of that preci-
ous stuff was when you snuck
down through the guilty gloom of
that cellar door, looked furtively
left, rig and centre, and then
stole a q ick snifter of it. Oh, it
was a . ri y business all right.
The old ma might hit you a kick
in the slats if he caught you,
though he certainly wasn't above
pirating a swig or two himself in
secret.
Never again, I think, will there
be any drink with the same po-
tential to tempt, no matter how
