the georgetown herald wednesday evening september 17 1941 j timely topics for women by barbara baines veel when the tourists come to bora quebec i just returned this week from a grand holiday among the lauren- uans our camo is on lac du sable near notre dame du laus a tiny village on the uevre t in quebec we have been going a number of years now and are beginning to fell quite at home among the french canadian families in the district but our particular friend is monsieur valiquette who lives on the nearest farm if farm you can call it prom the lake it looks like a series of rolling wellwooded mountains with two or three tinv cleared garden plots nestling on the sides at one time the fields were larger but some years ago two great dams were built on the lievre to provide electric power the whole val ley was flooded and the farmers had to move back to higher land they were wellpaid for their lost acres but their new farms have less soil suitable for cultivation the money was soon gone and many of them now find it hard to feed their large families mons vallnquette is more progressive than some he has four cows two horses seven- sheep three large pigs and some chickens and his family fare well he has five lovely children the newest garcon arrived while we were at camp with the help only of a midwife which my- husband had to go for in a hurry the nearest doctor is at mont lauxler fiftyfive miles away and he charges more than they can afford to pay but mons valiquette is good to his family don t they get clothes out of the catalogue printed in french and last year dldn t they get some store furniture and a radio for christmas things few of their neighbours have moris valiquette is very proud that he is one quarter irish and proud also or his unccta fngitsh his favourite expression in english is ho japers yes spoken with great emphasis one day he made us smile when he said it is going to rain to night the sky she sick all day madame valiquette does not soeak english but she bakes wonder ful bread i like to watch her as she kneads and punches it with great gusto in a wooden trough attached to the wall she often goes around in her bare feet but her kitchen is clean she has screens now to keep out the flies and has water piped from a nearby spring to her sink there is no need to worry about elevation for the spring comes down the moun tain side the same spring is the cooling system for her refrigerator an earthen hut built into the side of the hill with a cement trough down the centre through which flows cold crystalclear spring water milk and perishable foods are set right in the water and afe kept cold on the hottest day in summer other foods potatoes and vegetables are piled high along the sides and keep fresh and crisp in summer and do not freeze even in below zero weather in winter mons valiquette gets out logs and gets good pay for himself and his two horses he told us they use a crazjwheel to keep the logs from coming too last down the mountain sides but just how it works i am not sure the logs are drawn to the uevre and floated down to the ottawa where they are sorted and taken to the mills it u quite exciting to see the rivermen take them down things are ery different for the valiquettes since the tourists came they sell wood ice milk and cream home made bread and buns and garden vegetables to all the camps where we are but mons vali quette is most pleased when he rich americans come because that means some profitable days of guiding the country is a fisherman s paradise on one trid into a newlv discovered lake mv husband and a party of his friends caught 195 red trout thev are verv similar to our speckled trout except that the fins are red and the flesh pink they are delicious fried in butler for breakfast that was of course a red letter day but lakes abound everywhere and there are an abundance of bass yellow pickerel and great northern pike ard one day while we were there a man from ottawa caught a 34 pound grey trout mons valiquettes proudest dosscsn is a leather belt pailv ornamented with nail heads and coloured stone which an american sent him in appreciation of his fine catch all les jeuns hommes of the village want to buy it trom him mons valiatiette is verv ambitious for his family he wants them to get a good creation though he himself went to school only two 01 three months and ran neither read nor write but it is not easy pic ture if jou can lowell age nine and vaida age seven accompanied by their collie dog crossing the lake by rowboat and then walking one and onehalf miles through the bush in which theie is plenty of deer beaver foxes porcupines and sometimes bear to a utile clearing where there is a school when it is windy and the lake is rough their father takes them across and meets thm in winter they cross on the ice and n spring and fall when the ice isn t sale or when it is too stormy they stay at the farm house nearest the school to get to the village six mile awav o shop or go to church they go by boat as far as the dam and walk the other two miles thev have an outboard motor now that they got from one of the tourists in the wlnfr they go by horse and sleigh on the ice or by aoe teim rhc only way to get out to civilization then is by snow mobile and it is very expensive most of the families we met are quite happy and satisfied with their lot few speak any english and fewer have ever been out they know nothing of geogradh and scarcelv anvthing of the war one man asked my husband if the fighting was bad where he came from thev sometimes visit each jnther on sundavs and there is an oc casional square dance in one of the larger rooms strange as it may seem thev call off in english but their driest and their church are by far the biggest
