Comments:
Well, here goes the month of
March, the month that gives hope
for spring. In the past it has
been noted to be the month of high
winds, broken weather; the month
which affects everyone with the
spring fever or an out of sorts
]axy feeling. Regardless, March is
the month we welcome; it gives
hope of spring, but is also the
month we hope to fade away fast,
until we can expect April show-
ers and sunshine to bring 'again
life and vigour to plants, roots and
all that is intended for nature to
revive.
Continuation of Fish Story
Last week we told you how they
stored their fish on the ice banks,
covered with snow. Most of the
fish went to large centres for sale
by peddlers. Sometimes a couple
of fishermen ganged together,
hooked a team of horses on a
double bax sleigh loaded with ice
or six hundred dozens of fish,
mostly herring with the odd trout,
and travelled as far as Kitchener.
Fish that sold on the ice banks
were five to ten cents per dozen
and many times fishermen had to
take trade in exchange.
Weather such as this past Feb-
=' ruary was �� hat we might say
was a daily affair in those days.
They had to contend with deep
snow and bitter cold, but, of cour-
se, people dressed warmer in those
days than they do today. The
housewife did their own woolen
weaving for themselves and their
families.
Men. especially- those who went
on the lake, made their mitts from
wild furs, also their shoes which
were made from a pattern used
by the Indians who were in this
settlement at that time. When
going on an errand or on the lake
they would bring wih them their
home made snowshoes. Each
fisherman had hi own hand made
sleigh on which he loaded fishing
tools as well as fish.
Those early settlers were hearty
and healthy, and they attributed
their health and strength to their
daily diet of fish and wild game,
and of course, buckwheat flour
bread which was baked on a
flaming fire. They also drank
Cedar Brouse tea for a blood puri-
ifer. All of that supplied the nec-
essary vitamins from A to Z.
Perhaps it would not be out of
place if we mentioned that their
spirit and courage vas kept up by
an occasional sip of swamp whisky
which was manufactured on the
back part of their lots. Some-
times fish were exchanged for it.
