HEY KIDS! LEARN TO DRAW
WITH DANNY COUGHLAN
1. Here's Danny's complete drawing.
Its maple syrup time
again and here in Quebec
where 70 per cent of the
delicacy is made, producers
are now being pressured to
form still another marketing
board. Meaning that you'll
probably have to pay a new
high for the stuff this spring.
I hear some of you old-
timers saying. "Well I
wouldn't mind paying the
price if the syrup really had
the right taste to it! What-
ever happened to the oldtime
flavour that it used to have
when we made it back
home?"
And it will be hard to con-
vince you that what you are
missing in modern store-
bought syrup isn't so much
taste as poetry. You are
remembering the buckets
that used to tinkle in the sun;
the wading through snow
backside -high to empty those
buckets, and the everlasting
fun of it because you were
young then; you remember
the girls you usedto tumble
in the drifts and the ride
back to the shanty with your
gathering tank full, and the
time your horse got his nose
stuck in a sap bucket.
Most of_ all, perhaps, you
remember how it used to be
when you got back to the
shanty; .the 'findescribably
delicious smell compounded
of hardwood smoke and hot
maple sap; the moment of
truth when the man in
charge of the evaporator
opened the tap and drew off
the finished product.
There was something very
special about that product
when your effort and your
fun went into its making and
when you realized that it
took 35 gallons of that sap
you had, gather to ma e a
solitary gallon of syrup.
You remember how on a
wild spring night you might
linger till midnight in the
shanty, hugging the fire and
the girls and watching the
pink steam clouding up from
the bubbling pans.
Yesteryear's syrup was
spiced with the memories of
your own adventure and toil,
but is that really the only
reason why maple syrup
doesn't seem the same any-
more? Are you only imagin-
ing?
Not entirely. Today the sap
bucket is on its way out along
with the gallon container.
Visit. a modern syrup
maker today and you are apt
to see a woods'which looks as
though a wedding had struck
it. White plastic tubing leads
from each tree into trunk
lines of larger tubing head-
ing for the sugar house. If the
woods is on a slope, gravity
now does the work of getting
the sap there. Otherwise a
pump is necessary.
And once it has arrived at
its destination the sap is apt
to be boiled in an evaporator
of gleaming stainless steel
fired with fuel oil.
Modernizing doubles
• production, the experts
claim but does the plastic
make the syrup taste any
different? The plastic people
say no, certainly not. Those
of us who have stopped
buying the milk which comes
in plastic bags aren't so sure.
One thing is certain, - the
syrup made the progressive
way is much lighter in color
than it used to be.
There are two reasons for
this lighter color. When
mapleing was done with a

bucket brigade, such things
as bits of bark, dead leaves
and wood smoke were all
part of the mix. Sap which
was left too ling in the
buckets also darkened the
syrup. Today's operation is
hospital clean.
But even the progressive
people admit now that the
old-fashioned slow boiling of
sap preserved a certain
aroma and tang which the
lightning evaporation
possible today may be flash-
ing off into the wild blue
yonder. They used to insist
that the lighter the syrup the
better grade, and the flavor
of said syrup was praised as
being "delicate."
But it soon became clear
that many people didn't want
a delicate flavor. They
wanted to taste the maple to. And damned if the syrup
loud and clear, and that is didn't have more flavor
why the federal government too?"
has now brought out a new
grading system. Canada No.
1 syrup may now be Extra
Light, Light or Medium
Amber. Take your choice.
If you're one of those who
lament the passing of the
oldtime taste, better take
Medium Amber. Could be
that it was made the oldtime
way, with musical buckets
and laughing kids and a
hardwood fire.
Getting back to the inter-
esting additives vyhlich so
often found their way into
grandad's sap, I once knew a
rugged individualist who
made it a practice to put a
pouch full of fresh pipe
tobacco into the pan.
"It's something I come
across clean by accident,"
he told me. "One year I was
just trying to fill my pipe so I
could sit back and wait out
the boiling you know, and
damn if someone didn't hit
my elbow a poke. Dropped
the whole dadgum pouch into
the hot sap. So what did I do?
I fished me up that tobacco
with the skimmer as best I
could and I laid it out in the
sun to dry. And you know
that made me the best damn
smoke I ever stuck a match

The Phantom Hand- and

While ghosts may have
been seen in certain houses
and other places in the
United States, they do not as
a rule haunt famous edifices,
and so Walter Harter's book
"The Phantom Hand and
Other American Hauntings"
includes a few real ghost
stories but as a rule tells
about famous houses and
places and expresses, the
possibility that a ghost could
-be seen there.
There are ten items in this
volume and all are interest-
ing stories dealing with
history. We have Longfellow,
Theodore Roosevelt, the
Alamo, the Pony Express,
the discovery of gold in Cali-
fornia, and other storiesof
bygone days.
