Outdoor eating of one kind or anâ€" other _ has been a _ favorite throughout the years since then. Just how the word "picnic‘ came into being is not exactly known. It is derived from the French word "piquer", literally meaning to pick. When, and by whom, the "nic‘ was added to give us the modern word is not known. Popularity of this backyard eating is prompted from many fields such as introduction of inâ€" triguing gadgets for preparing, cooking and serving the foodsâ€" all of them with a special appeal First Picnic Wasn‘t Any Picnic Unlike today‘s festive outings, the first picnic wasn‘t much fun. In fact, the first meal man ever ate was on a picnic. But this was before he learned to seek sheiter in caves or build houses, and of necessity, he had to eat his food where he found it, in the uncivâ€" ilized wilderness. The picnic, as we know it, has been a development here in Canada. However, piinics of a sort have been a favorite type enâ€" tertainment in Europe and elseâ€" where for hundreds of years. _ _ Desserts usually are simple, reâ€" quiring a minimum of attention. Bakers‘ cakes or cupcakes go well with steaming hot coffee. A fruit pie is an easyâ€"toâ€"handle dessert that may be heated on the grill after the meats have been served. to the man of the house. His skills are being encouraged. The magic of the open fire gives him a new role as the gourmet of the household. Musts for this, as for any picâ€" nic, are hamburger or frankfurter buns, or the crisp crusted French and Italian breads. While the meat is grilling, the vegetables cooking, the buns or bread may be heated in a metal basket warâ€" mer. The bread may be sliced and spread before hand, with herb or garlic butter for added flavor. Ways of building fires are as different as persons building them. The role of the family‘s younger set is important in this rite. They may be responsible for the tinder, kindling, logs, charâ€" coal or the briquettes being at hang for father, who reigns as impressario of the barbecue. The crissâ€"cross fire is an easyâ€"toâ€"lay and easyâ€"toâ€"control fire. It is a skill early mastered by outdoor enthusiasts with sizeable logs, twigs and tinder as the ingrediâ€" ents. Adaptations of it can be used in many fireplaces or grills. Pit fires are a special type. The fire must burn down until there is a deep bed of glowing coals. Meat, such as hamburgers, may be preâ€"cooked on the range, wrapped in aluminum foil and heated later over the coals. In addition to the meats, fish and poultry that lend themselves so well to fireplace cooking, many vegetables are favorites, too. Roasting corn, baking potatoes, summer squash, or the cubed veâ€" getables that can be cooked on kabobs are all menu items that appeal to the man in the chef‘s may _ ’d-hmhn’:n I; i.â€".;'pha"n'fi manner in w Mn-ln’ equipment w'b.o’ built. â€" Bu in eotutighs h sohtribut? to is by one‘s own judgment, the hfrfll, the pit or the flugl::‘e should not be a hazard to , shrubs or other _ garden plantings; nor should sparks from it menace nearby buildings. Spark arrestâ€" ers may be a necessary part of the installation. ether controlled by codes or Picnics Are Old Following is a question that was fuund to come in sooner or later. If the Question Box were intended to be a medium of proâ€" paganda, the question would have been slipped discreetly under the desk blotter to be eased unostenâ€" tatiously, months later, into the wastebasket. The policy of the QOestion Box, however, is to anâ€" swer honest questions honestly and let the chips fall where they may. It should be remembered that the answer is based on the extremely _ moderate â€" drinking pattern referred to in the quesâ€" tion, and would not apply to "heavy" drinking. "I drink very little but necaâ€" sionally I go to a party where cocktails are in order, and I do enjoy one or two. I have been told that eating certain foods beâ€" fore going to such a party gives you & ‘base‘; so that you can enâ€" joy a drink without any illâ€"efâ€" fects. I drink so seldom that I gt a little giddy from one drink. hat foods should I eat to get the right ‘base‘?" "At the restaurant where 1 eat my lunch there is a sign which properly reminds me to eat my vegetables for health, but the carrots, beets, string beans, etc., which are served me have not only been preâ€"cooked at the canâ€" nery but reâ€"cooked at the beanâ€" ery until they are watery, limp and tasteless. 1 am not finicky, and if it will do me any good I am willing to be a soldier and take my medicine, but 1 suspect that such vegetables are vitaminâ€" less as well as tasteless. Right?" Limp and Soggy It seems to be an old Angloâ€" Saxon tradition that meat is to be eaten with pleasure and vegeâ€" tables out of a sense of duty. The late, longâ€"lived George Bernard Shaw may have felt that his beâ€" ing a vegetarian had something to do his longevity, but if he had to subsist on the kind of vegetaâ€" bles so often served in nonâ€"vegeâ€" tarian homes and restaurants one wonders why he wasn‘t bored to death at an early age. Perhaps his famous wit and venturing inâ€" tellect were developed in selfâ€"deâ€" fense, which enabled him to live an in spite of being a vegetarian. Question: m â€" oped into picnics because of a lack of facilities to otherwise take care of the crowds. The picâ€" nic idea was broadened to take in all sorts of excursions and pleaâ€" sure outings. + Today picnics are more popular than ever. The barbecue pit and the portable grill makes every backyard a picnic site.

With the continuing dry weaâ€" ther, the fire hazard has increased and citizens are warned by deâ€" partment officials not to ignite open fires without securing perâ€" mission. The army worm is a small, striped caterpillar that attacks grain, corn and other crops and can almost strip a field overnight. Mr. Forsyth pointed out that farâ€" mers should check their grain and corn crops to see if there is any evidence of corn being chewed or heads of grain eaten. PRESTON.â€"The Preston fire department last week responded to their first alarm in July, to exâ€" tinguish a burning pile of leaves on the property adjacent to 307 William St. The booster line was used to extinguish the fire. He said, "if any damage is found, we would like to hear about it." Poison control consists of a poison bran bait of 25 pounds bran, one pound paris green or white arsenick, one quart moâ€" lasses and 2% gallons of water. This is mixed together thoroughâ€" ly and then spread along the rows where the worms are working.
