There‘s no Christmas shopping to do or decorations to make. They can’t go swimming and the cottage is a sea of mud. Teachers are getting progressively happier and parents progressively glummer. Next week is Spring Break. V Parents are wondering How ihey can survive a whole week of the kids at this time of year. The weather is sure to be rotten. It won't snow of course. A nice big spring snow storm would mean the kids could get outside and use their sleds and skates and skis. But Spring Break always seems to mean rain or sleet. Maybe it was all those recorded votes that first gave them the inkling they weren’t taking the same vitamins, and something had to be done toot sweat to restore the spirit of good will and fun- loving cameraderie they enjoyed at the inaugural coffee party when they could still exercise such freedoms of choice as to whether to have saccharin or a bit of Irish Mist in their coffee. Ouidoor play means puddles and mud. She baked bread from flour ground in a handâ€"operated mill, she churned butter from cream skimmed from the milk left to sour in several flat’ pans in the milk house. As a child I enjoyed visiting Archie Colin and Maggie Stewart, a bachelor and spinster, who were well into their seventies. Although their farm home boasted a furnace, running water and a bathroom (almost unheard of luxuries in those days) Maggie continued to keep house much as her grandmother did in pioneer days‘ She used an old dasher-type churn her grandfather made from a hollowed out log. 7 _ A - _ After only a couple of months in action, York County board of education members apparently see dark days ahead.

'This she made just as her grand- mother had back in the early 1830’s. First she sat a pan of sour milk on the back of the kitchen range. After some time and stirrings the milk separated into curds and whey. But the greatest delight to me was her homemade cheese. It was white and had a very mild flavor, being a bit rubbery or crumbly, depending on its age.

But the idea smacked too closely of fraternization with the enemy and was quickly discouraged. This year, to put its motion into being, the board plans to hold a workshop, at which trustees and administrators will earnestly discuss: “What is going well,” “what is not going well,” and if the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings.

After the liquid drained away and the curds were fairly dry, she transferred them to a round cheese press lined with cheesecloth and placed a weighted cover on top. Then she set it on a shelf in the cool milk house to age. The result was delicious. When the weight had squeezed out any remaining whey and the curds had become a firm white mass she wrapped the resulting small “wheel” in layers of fresh cheesecloth. Raglan Claw Top.

Rural Ontario got into the cheese making business, many cheese factories coming into existence. One of these was located on Rich- mond Street in Richmond Hill. It was later converted into a cottage which was torn down to make way for the apartment building at 67 Richmond. Until the day it disappeared from the local scene, passersby claimed that on a hot, muggy summer’s day they could still smell the whey.

Instead, go to your library or to Classic Bookstore in Hillcrest and get a copy of “Toronto is for Kids", by Sheila Clarke, Marilyn Linton and Jeanne V In other cases a farmer would con- tract to haul the milk from several farms as well as his own to the factory. After feeding himself and his stock, and milking his cows he would start out for the factory, collecting milk in large cans as he went along. 7 The loads of milk had to be at the factory early so the cheesemaking process could begin. brought their own milk in to be processed.

I wonder what time the coffee break is?” Scargall It should take the kids all week to read it and decide what they really want to do. The fights will be vicious, but at least they’ll be arguing with each other and not with you. While you’re at the library, grab an armload of books and hide them, somewhere to pull out when the kids have nothing at all to do. But don’t hide them too well. It's not very pleasant to find the books under the bed five weeks after Spring Break has passed. If j/ou’ve got time, take the kids to see the dinosaurs in the new Gallanough Librayx ip Thornhill. And if that doesh’t turn them on, take them to see Dad at work. But only as a last resort. About 1908 the price of cheese at the factory dropped to 12c a 1b. This made the farmer’s return unsatisfactory and many cheese factories closed. These were cylindrical in shape and held about 100 lbs. He put whey in each can according to the amount of milk the farmer sent. This was fed to the pigs on the farm. After curing for some months the cheese was teamed to the railway and sent on the journey to England. milk. The mixture was warmed and stirred until curd formed. This was cut with long cheese knives. The solid was pressed to remove whey and placed in cheese boxes. After dumping the milk, the hauler would load up with the whey from the previous day’s cheese making. Gone forever?
