runnin these are the magic words that really break the spell of winter in eastern canada that send shivers of delight through the tense bodies of little boys put that look in dads eye and start mother rummaging through the fruit shelves in the cellar to see how much of last years maple syrup is still there saps runnin is more than just a maple tree beginning to feel the warm uprising of its lifeblood in the spring thousands of people who were raised in eastern canada have nostalgic memories of a sugar bush somewhere in the east when warm winds blow across moist fields and spring is in the air nowhere in the world is there more pure enjoyment than in a maplesugar bush the deep pot- holed snow the blue drift of smoke from the woodfire under the iron pots the smell of spring in the air a few crows cawing from the highest tree mapletaffy cooling on a white bank of snow the bark of clogs the whole exultant feel in the air that spring has come once more to this northern land break ing the icy grip of winter time the story of maple syrup goes back to earliest days just after the coming of the white man to this continent when sailors from across the seas sickened in the long winters of lower canada kindly indians gave them the clean new sap of the maple tree to drink and because it was filled with some un known magic now called vitamins they soon got well to this day eastern canada drink the thin sweet liquid from the sap buckets hanging on the maple trees and feel a renewing of their hearts as well as their bodies there is another kind of good news coming from the sugar bush this spring all maple products are unrationed wjptb officials point out that removal of maple products from sugarpreserves rationing will not cause any change in the validat ing of sugar preserves but since none will be needed for maple syrup and maple sugar this spring this will leave just that much less for our sugarpreserves coupons to buy leaving more of them for sugar jams marmalades and jel lies as well as corn and cane syrups and molasses the cry of saps runnin may sound out any day now as the sun creeps higher into the heavens and when it does it will be the best

and other hunters started up a couple of deer which ran in a northwesterly direction from the hunters this was the largest pair of deer i ever saw on the hoof de clared mr daniels local feed and coal merchant no effort was made to track the animals which evidently paid a visit to the reser voirs the deer would not likely get inside the inner fencing that houses off the reservoirs from the
