It's Raspberry Chiffon Pie ... cool as a cucumber and light as a feather. The fluffy texture we attribute to whipped skim mills powder ....so economical, so easy to use and so low in calories., The good raspberry flavor comes ;from packaged frozen rasp- berries or fresh ones when they reach our markets. Althou'g'-li we suggest this recipe for June and the summer months that follow, the frozen berry option makes it possible to enjoy this goo dessert all year 'round.

It was discovered by John Mc- Intosh, rebellious young son of Scottish immigrants to Amens, ica, Alex and Jennett MacKin- tosh (there are several... spell- ings of the name) who in 1776 settled in the Mohawk Valley near Schenectady, N.Y. John fell in love with a girl named Dolly Irwin, of whom his parents disapproved. He persuaded her to flee to Can- ,ada, Where he would follow her. She joined a group of United Empire Loyalists, then flocking north in great num- bers, and crossed the border at Cornwall in 1796. When John followed shortly after, he found she had fallen ill and died. Too proud and stubborn to return home once he had cut the family ties, he worked at odd jobs, settling ev- entually near Iroquois. In 1801 he married Hannah Doran, and settled on a farm near the village. He later ex- changed his farm . with that of his brother-in-law Edward, and settled almost 10 miles north of Iroquois. He. found the new farm large- ly uncleared, except for about a quarter of an acre, which was already reverting to bush, al- though it had obviously been cleared a few years previously. I•t was here that he found the young apple. trees, .which he THE WHOLE FAMILY ENJOYS BISSET'S Everybody Eats Ice (ream Warm weather . . and Ice Cream !

Neil Bell Service Station McClinchey's Lunch Dick's Cash Grocery Seaforth Lions Park McCluskie's Winthrop Store Eickmeyer's General Store Egmondville transplanted to the spot he in- tended for his garden. Most of the trees died, but the one destined for fame pro- duced a superior fruit right from the beginning, and was carefully nursed and tended by John's wife, Hannah. It became known locally as "Granny Mc- Intosh Apple", and the McIn- tosh Red is still known along the Seaway Valley as "Granny's Apple". John tried to grow the tree from seeds of the fruit of the original tree, but was unsuc- cessful in getting new trees with apples of the quality of the originals. After his death his son Allan learned the art of grafting from a migrant workman, thus preserving the fruit of the original tree. It is from these "scions" that the McIntosh apples of 'today have been handed down. The fame of the new variety spread far and wide. Allan combined the talents of nurseryman with those of cir- cuit preacher, and his diary, written with home-made ink and a sharpened goose quill, combines a curious mixture of meditations on the Scriptures, records of business transac- tions, and glimpses of his per- sonal life. He recounts the story of his father's death in 1845, probab- ly resulting from a ruptured appendix, and his own search for a doctor. He finally caught up with one and brought him back to the farm, too late to save his father's life. John Mc- Intosh was buried near where he' first lived in Canada, in St. John's Cemetery on the St. Lawrence River, a mile east of Iroquois. It - was on the farm north of Iroquois where Hannah McIn- tosh died in 1857. She was buir- ied there, • at the rear of the farm, in a , small cemetery, where sbme of her grandchil- dren were also buried: Dr. P. A. McIntosh, of Spen- cerville, a few years ago Hon- ored by the town for a half century of medical practice there, is credited with preserv- ing much of the family history. Almost 84, and keenly inter- ested in his personal observa- tions of the effects of age on the human body, he has an en- viable list of accomplishments to his credit. He has shipped McIntosh trees to Scotland, England and Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia. He bought the cemetery where his great-grandmother Hannah lies buried, and marked the spot with an eight -ton marker. He placed a granite marker on the exact spot where the orig- inal tree grew. He salvaged the original tree, and had it sawn into foot - long sections, one of which he kept himself, for members of • the family. He is the main in- stigator in organizing the fam- ily picnic held each Label' Day. He had the family crest changed to include an apple and apple leaves. His method was ,unorthodox—he simply had a local artist redraw the crest. Dr. McIntosh has developed a McIntosh Red potato which he has given to members of the family and a few friends and neighbors, as well as a com- mercial variety called Lady Fingers, some of which he ship- ped to Scotland. He collects coins, old books, and especially books on Robert Burns, about whom he has more than 100 volumes. His study in Spencerville also boasts a collection of stuffed birds and animals. He is partial to blue - shelled eggs, which he imports from the. U.S., and has helped in the development of new poul- try breeds. The first monument to an apple in the world was erected in 1912 by the Dundas County fruit growers, on the road be- side the McIntosh farm and 200 yards from the tree site. Dr. McIntosh also arranged a marker for the grave of John McIntosh, two sections of which came from Scotland, the third from the McIntosh farm. The late chief of the .clan, Lachlan Mackintosh, who visit- ed Dr. McIntosh in, 1948, sent two stones—one from the walls of Moy Hall, in Invernesshire,. Scotland, and another from the May Hall quarry. The granite base Dr. McIntosh remembered as one of five • removed from the old farm orchard during his boyhood, and he took a Pres- cott monument craftsman with him to Dundela to collect it. Dr. McIntosh's further boy- hood memories include gather- ing spices and herbs for his father, who used them to make salves and medicines. McIntosh apples comprise more than a third of the total Ontario apple crop, with Spies, Delicious, and several other varieties ensuring that every nuance of taste and color pre- ference of the apple -eating pub- lic is satisfied. Ontario also ships .a good portion of its crop to Western Canada. CUB NOTES Pack "A" held their final meeting on Monday evening. Twelve boys were- invested with their first stars.
