Most of the villagers had a garden. Some grew enough pota- toes, onions and other heavy veg- etables to last most of the winter. Housewives canned vegeta- bles, wild fruit, such as blueber- ries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, pin and cherries for jams and jellies; then there. were jars of pickles. We had blueberries in every shape and form, pies, cakes, muffins, pancakes and jellyrolls- soon tired of them by spring time. Often the women would throw in a handful of raisins «% make a bit of change in the cakes or a dab of icing spread over them. But the jellyroil cake was the one that I became tired of. Pies with blueberry filling were the best. Sometimes blueberries and rhubarb were cooked together as a preserve. Meats were mostly of the wild such as moose, deer, rabbit, par- tridge, geese, duck and beaver. They (some ate bear meat) were canned, salted or frozen. The ever-popular trout and white- fish were smoked, salt and sugar- cured. Pickeral, pike, suckers and herring were equally delicious when smoked. During this trying time much credit was on the books but everyone pulled through. The winter was spent in mend- ing nets, cutting stove or pulp- wood. The members of the Women's Institute helped two families who had moved here during this peri- od by supplying them with food and clothing until they returned elsewhere to live with relatives. Another accomplishment of these ladies was to-have a com- munity hall built valued at $30,000 at that time. It was tough going sometimes but all the care and upkeeping of the building was by volunteer Grace Baptist Church Sunday evening Service: 7 p.m. Nursery provided for all services.

SHOSSHO6GS5G5HS QQ290999909090000000090 p work. We had a very good contract- ing company build the hall, namely the Molinski Brothers, with Wm. Molinski, the presi- dent, and Joseph Molinski, head supervisor of building. We never lacked for volunteer musicians for a dance, the admis- sion fee at that time was only 25 or 50 cents for the whole evening's entertainment and a lunch, sometimes of Finn toast and coffee and guess what pastry was served? of course, blueberry cakes, pies or tarts. During this time or years, the villagers found time to play hock- ey or ball games, go on picnics, ski and go on sliding parties. We always found time for play and our children were included in the fun. The hungry '30s taught our generation how to survive or exist without grants and money being spent carelessly as if it grew on trees. My husband never refused a person seeking food. May men rode the rods (freight trains)- invariably at train would be in the hole (siding track) in front of our place, so naturally we had many of these poor men seeking food. My husband never turned them down as he always said that one never knows when we would be hungry someday. He gave hundreds of loaves of bread, cheese, sardines or tins of meatspread away. There were double tracks beside a siding in Rossport then. A train was always coming and going each way with sometimes a train in the siding. Oh, we managed to squeeze through the 1930's, never hungry or cold or needing shelter and food. We didn't have many luxuries ~ but we were contented and happy, helping each other over the hur- dles of life. It makes one feel ill when they see boxes of good clothing, furni- ture and household articles in a garbage dump today and so many people wanting help. It is so wasteful and selfish to be so destructful- WASTE NOT, WANT NOT. Used clothing can be made into warm quilts and tied with bits of yarn. There is every convenience in homes of today but no one seems to make time or have time to do any of that. KEKE K KKK KEK KKK KH HAPPY 18th HELEN J. CHECK THE TIMES NEWS SATURDAY AND MONDAY.
