In Full Force - a true indicat-tion that spring has arrived is rhubarb. Every year around this time, the ever producing "pie plant" comes up in full force. For me, rhubarb is an indication that summer is only weeks away. Rhubarb is a very versatile fruit which can be used alone or with other fruits in pies, fruit drinks, sauces, desserts, jams, jellies and pickles. Unsweetened rhubarb contains very few calories It is a good source of Vitamin C and an excellent source of potassium. Rhubarb is also a source of dietary fibre. Choose rhubarb that is red in color with stalks that are small, crisp and firm. For the best results, use rhubarb the day it is picked or purchased. If this is not possible, keep rhubarb stored in a plastic ’ bag in the refriger­ator. Rhubarb freezes well. Remove rot oends, wash the stalk, cut into 2 cm lengths and pack in freezer bags. No sugar is required. Freeze for the size of your family. If freezing space is limited, freeze cooked rhubarb sauce, sweet­ened to taste. USE IT ALL! Rhubarb leaves contain toxic amounts of oxalic acid and should never be eaten. But, they do have a use. Rhubarb leaves boiled in aluminum pants, leave them shining clean. They also clean and shine copper-bottom pots. Chop leaves into small pieces and cover with boiling water in a large, old pot. Put copper-bottom pots to be cleaned into the larger pot and simmer 10 to 15 minutes (a little water in the copper-bottom pot will hold it in place). Dull copper will shine without polishing in aboaut 5 minutes, but badly crusted spots may not come clean. The stalk works just as well, but why wate the edible part? Enjoy a piece of spring this year. Use your Pie Plant to the fullest. For a booklet of super rhubarb recipes, call 653-4848 and ask for Rhubarb Recipes. Sharon Cummins, D.H.E.

BAND PARENTS MEETING _ Tuesday, June 12th 7:30 p.m. in the Band Room. ONCE THEY WERE YOUNG Be not impatient with the old they seem to putter. What they are told is soon forgotten. Sldw, faltering footsteps, there is no rush now. The years are long behind the cross road so near ahead. They hug the past closely A comfort to their frailty. ‘ Its warp and woof was once interwoven, with threads of vibrant life now so thinly worn. Stitches held together by lacy memories of old homes, new lands plow bitten, and the children. Tears fall unhidden from old eyes for no reason much. Their youthful visions and wisdom gained, have given us Our lives, our loves, our heritage.
