The Goderich Signal-Star, 1953-03-12, Page 10Hello Homemakers! Our lenterl
foods are so easy to prepare and
require such short cooking periods
that we are apt to neglect season-
ing. Since fish and cheese may be
bland remember that the success -
secret is blending of flavors with
the •food or in a sauce. Lemon or
egg sauces go well with fish while
mustard or celery seed taste fine
in cheese dishes.
TAKE A TIP
1. Sauces for steamed or baked
fish: mustard, tomato, creole,
curry, egg, cheese, Hollandaise,
Allemande, etc.
2. Sauces for fried or broiled fish:
mushroom, brown butter, tartar,
Anchovy. butter or hot mayon-
naise, etc.
3. Garnishes for fish: pickles, cap-
ers, pickled beets, celery, pars-
ley, lemon, pickled onions.
4. Onions and garlic add greatly
to the flavor of cheese if you
scrape off the cut side and use
sparingly. Other minced vege-
tables (carrots, beets) go' well in
cheese fondue. Add cooked rice
to strong flavored cheese »or
pieces of cooked bacon.
5. To store cheese, sprinkle with`

6. To improve flavor of canned
shrimp soak them in ice cold

"THE BRUCE BECKONS"
(A guest article written by Wilfrid
Eggleston)
I have been reading an interest-
ing book written by Dr. William
Sherwood Fox, former president
of the University of Western On-
tario. It is called "The Bruce
Beckons." It tells the story of
the Bruce Peninsula, from Cham-
plain to the present. I read it
because "Bob" Deachman recom-
mended it to me, and lent me his
autographed and inscribed copy of
it. "Bob" recalled days when he
and Dr. Fox had sat under a tree
in Goderich and . had talked about
Lake Huron, and Georgian Bay,
and the counties that bordered on
them, "A man full of fat • rating
sfories," said- Bob. Dr. Fox has
put many of them into this book.
The flowers of Bruce, the snakes
of Bruce, the tides of Bruce, and
scores of .others. I was particular-
ly interested in his chapter about
the passenger pigeon, which once
nested in millions in that part 01
Ontario, but whteh Was wiped out
by man or which fell victim to
some si oul'ge. Not one survived.
"It has gone (. forever . , by
1885 the birds were scarce indeed,"
Dr. •Fox writes. A resident of
Red Bay whom I knew saw his, last
pigeon near there in 1893, As
far as the whole Georgian Bay
region is concerned the last word
of the 'race's obituary is this: in
May of 1902 three pigeons—a pair
and a single bird --were seen near
Penetanguishene, S'lmcoe County:"
Like other regions of Canada,
the Bruce was once quite heavily
forested. but it was rapidly timber-
ed over and despoiled. There is
a note of melancholy in all such
stories.
"The trutll is,'' says the Western
Ontario author, "that the making
of square timber, whether by large
gangs- or by small gangs, was ap-
pallingly wasteful. For this pur-
pose only the largest and finest
pines were chosen. . The operators
well knew that the ultimate pur-
chaser would reject any stick that
failed to meet his most exacting
requirements; the presence of
more than two black knots in any
stick was enough to condemn it.''
If .a woodman found after felling
it that a pine was defective, it was
left there to rot. The harvest of
a thousand years of growth was
reaped in thirty. By the early
years of this century there was
not much left to gut. "Sixty years
ago for a cord of, four -foot slabs
loaded on the car ,one could not
get more than fifty cents
Today in any Ontario city a small
bundle of thin slab kindling
eighteen inches long sells for
twenty-five cents, and the present
generation inherited the patch-

work of wilderness, arid barrens,
small farm clearings, and a strug-
gling secondigrowth of forest."
Happily the attitude has chang-
ed. In a later page the author
tells of the mill at Stokes Bay,
and the new sense of, conservation
that grew up around a sportsman's
club. "From it has emanated an
influence which has helped inspire
the entire county to make a survey
of the Peninsula's , unique variety
of resources and at length to adopt
policies definitely aimed at con-
serving the resources that remain.
and also at restoring, so far as
possible, those that have been im-
paired by the thoughtless rapacity
of the first generation of bush -
raiders.
"The promise of a new -old Bruce
is alluringly bright."
A cheerful post -script to a dis-
turbing fragment of history.
