RR O55 PO ut Notes "It was a great start" by ANNE TODESCO The Bicentennial cele- . brations being planned this year, bring to mind an old recipe very popu- lar at the time that the white settlers came here. It was the "Sour Dough Starters', an in- gredient used to make bread or pancakes. In fact it was a standard ingredient for bread. If dost, spilled or stolen, it would leave a person destitute and they could starve. These starters were a portion of the soft dough always kept on hand. It would ferment and sour, and a cupful or so, would take the place of yeast in the bread or pancakes. It left the bread with a sour odour and taste. It was consid- ered the sustenance of Gold Rush Days at Birchwood In an atmosphere of good old Gold Rush Days, Birchwood Aux- iliary was set to return residents and_ seniors, suitably attired to the Klondike last Friday evening at Birchwood Terrace. Old maps, photos, and much memorabilia decorated the walls, while candles set in bottles, il- _ lJuminated the tables. Rosemary Thorpe was attractively dress- ed for. her role, presiding over the blackjack table, of this, Russ Macadam was the final winner. Entertaining during the evening were ev Madame Jean, with her accordian; Pam Jones and her chorus line of can-can girls (to the ac- companiment of an old gramaphone record); _ and Pam led the group in a singsong, accom- panied by Joann Roger- son at the piano. The winner guessing the correct weight of the dinosaur. bone was Michael Ghabota and Anne Pelto discovered the largest cache of gold. Lillian Bellineau was in charge of the lun- cheon that concluded the Auxiliary's entertainment.

This type of bread is becoming popular again, and can be found on grocers shelves once more. This type of bread is the oldest leavened bread in the world. It was discovered in an- cient Egypt. One can say - that it was associated with the Canadian and American frontiers. I can recall when my grandfather would tell us stories about the bread and pancakes made from this sour- dough starter in his lumber camps. I wonder what a bride of today would say if she found a jar of this starter among her bridal gifts, but it actually was a part of the bride's._ dowery in the early days. It was worth its weight in gold and had to to be kept well protected. It was the difference between sur- vival and perishing. When the. Indians learned about this dough starter, they dis- covered if it stood for awhile, it gave off a clear but potent liquor which they called "'hootch." That is how this word became known regarding home brew. ee, 25th Wedding Anniversary in honour of Robin and Patricia Moore at the Schreiber Legion Hall from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Sat.

It is entitled "First Response Team."' "Rossport could have a potential tragedy anytime," says Patrick Dingwell, the local Am- bulance owner- operator. "We, in Rossport are far enough from Terrace Bay where the ambulance service is based, that so- Mmeone could die of a heart attack, an elec- trical shock or smoke in- halation, before the am- bulance could arrive with oxygen." He feels a way to a partial solution to this problem is to have a first aid, cardio- pulmonary resuscita- ~ tion and instruction on. the usage of oxygen courses. He is willing to organize a programme of instruction for even- ings only, once or twice a week, spaced over several weeks. The Recreation Com- Mittee already has a few names towards the necessary ten needed, to set up this system. It was decided at their last meeting to ask the Fire Department to consider this as an important component of their basic training. A letter is to be sent requesting that at least 5 members of the fire team take this course. Dates for June or next fall seem to be within the most sensible time frame. This promising pro- ject would be the greatest help for the villagers if such an oc- casion. should arise here.
