Susan Allen, a Clarke Stu- dent on t he Co-operative Educat ion Program, gave fhem a hand in popping up some pop corn.

Staffhorn sumac may-be a quiet enough plant for most of fthc year, ciothed in orderly ranks of drooping leaves, but -in fhe autumn it cornes alive. In the works of Donald Culross Peattie, this is one of the chief plants that gives our Indian summer or sort of meliow savagery, shouting outs its colour fo the dying year. Orange, vermillion, yeilow, and even purpie can adorn a cluster of sumac in a celebrati on of wild colour. And rising from the great frond-like leaves, the dusty red seeds heads or "sfaghorns" poke skywards. Thougli sumac is a shrub, seldomn growing more than fifteen or twenty feet tail, its uses are comparable f0 an.y tree. Its name may weil be a corruption of "shoe-make", for the.tannin extracted from its bark and leaves cured the finest grades of leather. Its leaves formed an important ingredient in the mixture that served as tobacco for the American Indian. Its wood, with a curious 'orange heart- wood streaked with green, is stili used Ïo manufacture a unique kind of handicraft cavings. But it is the fuzzy seedhead which is perhaps fhe most at- tractive part of the plant. Birds use sumac fhroughouf the winter, and 1 have seen February robins that seemed to be surviving three feet of snow quite nicely by féeding on sumac seeds. Early Cana- dians used the staghorns as weil, to make a refreshing cool drink 'much like lemonade. The receipe is sim- ple - crush the seed heads in water to free their natural acids, (don't boil since thaf brings out fhe bitter tannin), strain through a cloth, and add a littie sùgar. If you decide to try sumnac lemonade, don't forget to leave a few seed heads for our winter birds. çncouraged New Members to adhere to proven principles and ideals, to be active in their communities and in the affairs of the Coliege, and to b e patient and tolerant of society's sometimes insatiable demands on the medical pro- fession.
