on the books, and not enough in
the till to meet the mortgage.
Stunned, in his late forties with
five kids, he sank into depression.
There were no jobs for anyone,
let alone middle-aged men. My
mother took over. She took in
boarders. In the summer, we
rented rooms to tourists. A clean
bed and a huge breakfast for
$1.50. She sold homemade
baking. She was an Avon lady.
And we wentinexorably into debt:
the butcher:s, the grocer's, the
coal man. I3ut there was no way
WE were going to go on relief. It
Was shameful.
Somehow, we staggered
through. My older brother got a
job in the bank at six dollars a
week. My sister got a job in a
store at eight dollars a week.
They kicked most of it back to my
mum. That was the deal in those
days, everybody pulling together.
But it was mighty hard on the
young workers, who,today, would
be going to college on govern-
ment grants.
We never went hungry. A lot of
hamburger, at three pounds for a
quarter. A lot of baloney. A big,
perpetually simmering pot of
soup. If the porridge wasn't
finished in the morning, it went
into the soup pot.
And I remember the odd time
when we had something I've
never tasted since. This was
when the butcher would advance
no more credit, and there wasn't
a cent in the house. Potato-skin
hash.
I wouldn't mind a good feed of
that tonight. You take some
baked potatoes and put them
through the meat grinder. With
the colour of the potato skins, it
comes out looking like meat and
potatoes. Fry it up in a pan with
some onions, dirt cheap, and you
had a pretty good dinner. Top if
off with home-made bread and
raspberry preserves, and you'd
had a gourmet dinner.
It beat hell out of the modern
frozen TV dinner, both for
nourishment and flavour and was
probably better for us than most
of the garbage modern kids eat.
No, we never went hungry, and
there was always a bowl of pea
soup and home-made bread for
the hoboes who arrived at the
kitchen door, half-frozen and
half-starved.
But I never realized what
miracles my mother and father
performed in those days, and I
wish I had, sooner.
