...for 25 cents you could have all the salmon sandwiches you wanted to eat and all the cake and pie you wanted and tea, I don't think they had coffee. And then the men had a tent in the corner and they would make ice ¬cream by hand and make lemonade. They used to buy their lemons from us (Eddy's General Store on the corner of Brant Avenue and Lorne Crescent, Brantford) later days because we had an electric squeezer and my brother told them they could squeeze them here. So they used to get them here on account of this squeezer and they'd make real lemonade. They sold bananas and oranges and every¬thing. They used to make quite a bit of that. Joanne: When did it start? At noon hour? Mrs. E: Oh no! Late afternoon. Everybody had to do their chores you know. Joanne: What kinds of things were there to do when you were at the dating age? Mrs. EJ At the dating age? Well, I was always so busy I didn't have much dating age. No, um (pause) I don't know-- the way I met my husband was, I went to my girlfriends for dinner one day. That was a great thing, I always had somebody at our place for dinner or I'd go to some¬body else's on Sunday. I went down to Campbell's and he was there. That's where I met Con. They used to have skating parties on the ponds. The pond at Oakland was not good for skating because when Malcolm built it he was in such a hurry he flooded it and forgot to cut the trees down. So, he thought "Well, I'll cut them down in the winter time." So when the ice got good and thick he went out and cut the trees down but that left stumps. It was wonderful for fishing but no good for skating and swimming. They used to go down to Scotland [to skate]. That's where I met Con was at a skating party down there at Foster's Mill at East Oakland. Well, there was picnics as I said. Joanne: What were the fashions like when you were a teenager? Mrs. E: Oh, very plain. We all wore hats, that's one thing. When I was twelve years old my mother said to me, "Now it's time you wore a hat." And I have always--I still wear a hat to church. Lots of times I'm the only person in the church with a hat on but it don't matter to me. I get pretty hats you know and uh, not too big a ones at all. But I always wear a hat. Everybody wore a hat. What did you ask? Joanne: What kinds of fashions?
