regular monthly date.
Members attending were
Grant Stirling, Hazel
McCreath, Bev ' Orr,
Doug Yeo, Alice Porter,
Marilyn Forbes, Joe
Fritzley and press agent
Audrey Middleton.
Absent was Art Bell.
It was with regret that
the rec. committee ac-
cepted the letter of
resignation from the
council sent by Art Bell.
A ' list of recom-
mendations were also
received from Art Bell
and it was left in the
capable hands of
chairman Stirling for,
proper handling.
Due to conflicting
summer training
schedules their was an
unexpected drop in
registrations for
swimming. Therefore the
deadline for registrations
has been left open tem-
porarily with the hope
that a full bus load may
be reached.
The inexpensive
swimming program for
the township is July 17-28
at Vanastra with
supervised bus tran-
sportation provided with
five or six pick-up
locations throughout the
township. Please phone
Hazel McCreath 524-7436

Naturally speaking
by Steve Cooke
Everyone knows what the cattail of Typha
looks like. They keep showing up in flower
arrangements, among other things. If you decide
to collect a few for a vase at home, now is the
time to do it. Picking the slender shafts in late
June or early July ensures tight heads and
reduces the chances of having cattail fluff
suddenly blowing all over the house. When the
heads are dry, a light application of hair spray
makes for added insurance.
There are a couple of other reasons for
checking out the flower heads at this time. The
long spike on the top of the head is the part which
produces the pollen for the plant. If the pollen,
which is bright yellow, has not appeared yet,
there, is some mighty fine eating at hand. The
young flower spikes can be boiled up and eaten
with -butter and salt like corn on the cob.
If the pollen has formed on the spike, don't
despair. The pollen itself can be used as a flour
substitute but it is rriore commonly mixed with
regular flour to impart a beautiful golden colour
to your baking. Pancakes, bread and puddings
are especially t+•esponsive to this treatment.
The pollen can be collected by placing a plastic
bag over the head and giving it a good shake. One
bag should be used for collecting and a second
bag or container should be carried to receive
deposits.
The roots, or more correctly, rhizomes are a
good source of starch. They can be peeled and
boiled like potatoes or peeled, dried and ground
for flour as the Indians used to do.
The fresh young shoots in the spring can also
be boiled and served as a vegetable. Tasting like
asparagus, it will probably be a hit with the
whble family.
The Indians used the cattail as anIall purpose
plant. The downy heads were used by the Black -
feet as a bandage and burn treatment. Many
tribes used the down for bedding in the form of
pillows and a type of comforter. The long leaves
were frequently woven into baskets, mats and
partitions.
The beauty of the cattail is that is is easily
recognized by almost everyone and all parts are
completely safe to eat either in the raw or cooked
state.
