Spring Bouquet
Tulips
In waxen perfection,
Crisp and gay,
Like girls serenely sure of youth and charm;
Daffodils,
Each a small pool of sunshine;
Ethereal narcissi,
White butterflies just ready to take wing;
Iris like proud blue banners.
And pussy willow,
Gentle, soft demure;
How lovely is a spring bouquet!
Mary Garland Coleman

For the five?, people who read the Poet's Corner, and, no
doubt, would like to become poets, we offer the
folio wing... in order that you may name iambic and
trochaic metres for yourself, here are the technical names
(based on Greek and Latin numbers) for the various
lengths of lines:
A line of one foot is a monometer line.
A line of two feet is a dimeter line.
A line of three feet is a trimeter line.
A line of four feet is a tetrameter line.
A line of five feet is a pentameter line.
A line of six feet is a hexameter line.
A line of seven feet is a heptameter line.
A line of eight feet is an octameter line.
A line of nine feet is a nonameter line.
The above is one of the reasons I am not a poet...
***
Echo
"Who called?" I said, and the words
Through the whispering glades,
Hither, thither, baffled the birds-
"Who called? Who called?"
The leafy boughs on high
Hissed in the sun;
The dark air carried my cry
Faintingly on:
Eyes in the green, in the shade,
In the motionless brake,
Voices that said what I said.
For mockery's sake:
"Who cares?" I bawled through my tears;
The wind fell low:
In the silence, "Who cares? Who cares?"
Wailed to and fro.
Walter De Mare
***
Erosion
It took the sea a thousand years,
A thousand years to trace
The granite features of this cliff,
In crag and scarp and base.
It took the sea an hour one night,
An hour of storm to place
The sculpture of these granite seams
Upon a woman's face.
E. J. Pratt
Everyone is as nature made him,
and often times a great deal worse.

Box 4411, Quesnel
Block 31
Revised design
now costs less
The revised design for the
Block 31 recreation complex
calls for a building almost as
, large as the original concept,
but costing just over half the
price of the first proposal.
This version will cost $2.3
million to build, according to
Aid. Albert Johnston, compared
to the estimated $4.2
million for the proposal rejected
by the provincial government
last falL
Johnston, who chaired the
town committee which drew
up the revision, described
what the aldermen have in
mind during the council meeting
on July 2.
Their design calls for a
two-storey building constructed
around the town's
swimming pool, he said. It will
include an auditorium, activity
rooms, a lounge overlooking
the pool, and a lobby
roomy enough to hold audiences
attending several functions,
he told the meeting.
Plans tor an extra ice
surface had to dropped because
of the high cost, he
added. He said it would have
been about half the cost of the
building.
There are two reasons for
building around the pool,
explained Aid. Mike Pearce,
one of the committee members.
It will cut costs, and
there was some reluctance to
shelve the town's Centennial
project.
Johnston said the auditorium
would have 520 seats and
a full-size stage. The plans call
for a kitchen by the auditorium,
but the town is not
budgeting for equipment. It is
hoping for help from the user
groups, he explained.
There will be a 700-square
foot arts area, and a similarsized
crafts area on the first
floor, he added.
He said the upper floor will
have an 1,800-squ are-foot assembly
room, an 800-squarefoot
"teen room," and a
2,300-square-foot lounge overlooking
the pool A room will
be given to the teenagers, but
they will be responsible for
raising the money for any
equipment that they want for
it, he added.
The council members are
confident their plans will be
approved by the provincial
ministry of municipal affairs.
Government spokesmen have
told them there will be no
problems, Mayor John Panagrot
said.
Pearce added the committee
members are fairly sure
the town can get the grants
from the provincial
government it is asking
for. They are applying for just
under $800,000, split into
grants for the auditorium,
swimming pool, and activity
centres.
There is also an opportunity
to get some lottery money,
Johnston said.
The committee wants to see
at least $150,000 raised by
local people, he added.

freedom to look after our own
affairs.
It seems that the vast
amounts of money spent on
education and training all of
us in our schools and universities
so that we can think for
ourselves and cope with
what we call civilization, will
be largely wasted if the big
brother planners continue to
interfere and rule every facet
of our lives.

This concludes the journal
of the travels of Mike Kavanagh

10 - QUESNEL CARIBOO OBSERVER, WEDNESDAY JULY 11. 1979
C o u r t r o o m p a r a d e
A 23-year-old Quesnel man
received a suspended sentence
with probation for two
years, and was ordered to pay
restitution of $627.60 after
pleading.guilty to committing
C a r i b o o
assault causing bodily harm.
Murray W. Arno was charged
in connection with his
attack on a Quesnel man, who
suffered a broken nose and
extensive dental damage, and
by G.B. '..
Here in our Cariboo Country, July is the month when the
woodland mothers must train their babies for adulthood.
The strenuous task of feeding the nestlings is over for the
first brood. How many trips did that robin make up and down to
the nest under the eaves from dawn to dusk yesterday? At last
the chore is over. Now the four speckled babies are hopping
from rosebush to lawn and back again under close supervision
of mother. They come to her to gobble regurgitated worm she
has for them. Soon they will be on their own.
This is the season when continuing the suet feeding seems so
worthwhile. The suet gets a bit greasy and even odorous in the
July sun, but there is a certain satisfaction to see that the
parent woodpeckers know exactly where to bring the young
family to introduce them to adult eating habits.
The young woodpeckers look a bit ruffled and mussed up—
somewhat like an adolescent boy who has been tussling with his
friends. They stand there with their mouths wide open, waiting
so patiently for mother to tear off a piece of suet and stuff it.
down a gaping throat.
If the older bird leaves for a moment, which seems to be part
of the learning pattern, the youngsters will get right at the suet
chunk themselves and eat contentendly. They are not really
helpless at all—just like to have mother's attention.
The purple finches have brought their babies to the
sunflower seeds. The recently hatched males show only a bit of
rust color among their brown feathers. Next spring, when they
return from their sojourn in the southern United States, they
will be as brilliant as their fathers. How that red head does
shine in this July sun!
We saw a "teaching squirrel mother". The mother carried
her baby gently in her mouth. She deposited him on the window
ledge of the garage—then left him to fend for himself. The
baby—no larger than a chipmunk—trembled and looked
hesitatingly down at the floor, then down at the ground.
Realizing that he was deserted, he grudgingly walked over
the wall and slowly made his way to the safety of the floor.
Birds and animals cannot think. Everything they do is done
by instinct alone. They know when to let their children walk
alone, climb alone or eat alone.
Are human parents, who can think, as wise as the tiny
creatures of the woodlands? Do we know when to "let go" of our
babies?

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GOOD CORN CROP is Bill Batley of West Quesnel, shown here applying a little moisture to his
backyard garden. Batley is an enthusiastic gardener and is cultivating peas, carrots, lettuce, parsnips, cucumbers, Brussel
sprouts and potatoes. In the fruit line, he's growing gooseberries, raspberries, red currants, and strawberries. Raspberries are
due to be ready very shortly, Batley said July 8. He's been planting a backyard garden for 20 years.
Feeding trials next
Canada assists Cuban breeders
When Cuba decided to
establish a pork industry 20
years ago, the island turned to
Canada for high-performance,
disease-free breeding stock.
Now there are more than
30,000 sows on the island, all
of Canadian origin. They're
producing about 500,000 market
hogs annually.
Under a technical assistance
program, Agriculture
Canada now is helping to
further expand and improve
the Cuban pork industry, by
introducing modern breeding
and management concepts.
The department is working
through CUSO, the Canadian
University Service Overseas,
which is an offshoot of the
Canadian International Development
Agency (CIDA).
Hans Grieger, Agriculture
Canada's chief of swine performance
testing, is secretary
of the Canadian-Cuban working
group on swine improvement.
He explains that in
Cuba there are 18 feeding
centers ranging in size from
3,000 to 45,000 feeder pigs.
The large-scale, state-run
operations are well suited to
the sophisticated breeding
and management techniques
being introduced by the Canadian
team. Chairman of the
team is the noted geneticist
Howard Fredeen, of Agriculture
Canada's Lacombe, Alta.,
Research Station.
Many sows on the island
now are bred artificially.
Frozen semen from Canadian
swine artificial msemination
(A.I.) centers to be sent from
Quebec to the Cuban breeding
centers. Fresh semen only
last 72 hours, so timing is
important.
"The Cubans have agreed
to send us data on the
performance of progeny from
our AX boars. This information
will help us evaluate the
boars we use in our A.I.
units," Grieger says.
One of the critical aspects of
artificial insemination is to
breed the female during her
ovulatioa It requires considerable
time and close observation
for heat detection.
But a study now in progress
will examine how the sows
can be "batch bred".
. A technique used in East
® Buckerfield's
*T J LIMITED
for
Summer
Germany will be tested on
groups of 50 sows at a time.
The sows' heat cycles are
synchronized thus allowing
the group to be bred simultaneously.
The team is also investigating
new feeding techniques.
The market pigs now produced
on the island are all fed
food wastes, which are cooked
to kill bacteria.
"The Cubans have done a
wonderful job of utilizing this
garbage, but they will have to
find a new source of feed for
their industry to expand,"
Grieger says.
Pelleted Canadian rations
could fill the bill.
This fall a feeding trial will
be launched in Cuba. Two
hundred sows will be used.
Half the group will continue
on the rations now in use,
while the second group will
get balanced grain-based rations.
"We hope to show the
Cubans that the balanced
rations (18 per cent protein
starter and 16 per cent
protein finisher) will improve
performance and reduce the
relatively high post-weaning
mortality rate," Grieger says.
Mechanized feed carts will
also be tested, and could
result in some Canadian sales.
"The program offers benefits
for the Cubans as well as
for Canada. It's also encouraging
to see the increasing
interest of other Latin-American
countries in Canadian
swine and technology," Grieger
says.

This being Billy Barker Days celebration week, there are
many, many visitors to our town -- friends, relatives and
.strangers. -
Norma McGuire, with her husband Mickey, visited our town
a few wfifW ago to demonstrate their painting talents and will
be returning for Billy Barker Days. ~
Since they have many relatives in Quesnel (the Brigden's
and Campbell's) they received the Cariboo Observer at their
home in Vancouver. Norma has been reading this column and
volunteered to submit some of their family's favourite recipes.
Here are two of the sweet-tooth recipes Norma sent. They
are both very quick to make and take few ingredients.

and one cup marshmallows. Remove from heat and add
remaining ingredients, stirring until well mixed. Pack into 10 x
12 inch pan. Chill. Freezes well.
The Marshmallow Bars have the taste of good Penuche
Fudge. When trying this recipe I used butter ( we prefer the
true flavour), chunky style peanut butter, and deleted the
chopped walnuts.
Using these ingredients and two 8-inch square pans resulted
in 16 two-inch squares at an approximate total cost of $4.20.
This is relatively expensive, but much cheaper than the
purchase price of the prepared product ( also much tastier).
Since Reese's now puts out a peanut butter chip it should be
possible to substitute these for the butterscotch chips and have
a total flavour change with a peanut butter - fudge like result.
.Since my candy making endeavours are often unsuccessful
except for this type of recipe you can be assured this recipe will
remain in my active file.
QUICK CHEESE CAKE
1 cup graham crack crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
V5l cup margarine
1' : 8oz. package cream cheese (softened)
Vr cup sugar
2 cups Dream Whip
1 can peach or cherry pie filling. /
Mix crumbs, sugar and margarine thoroughly and press into
8-inch square pan. Mix cream cheese and sugar thoroughly.
Mix one envelope powdered Dream Whip per package
instructions and add to cream cheese mixture. Spread over top
of crumb mixture. Spread pie filling over top and chill for at
least two hours before serving.
Again, I used butter in place of margarine. Also, a can of
E.D. Smith cherry pie filling finished off this recipe beautifully.
-The texture of this cheese cake is very smooth and creamy
and the result is quite rich and a little sweet. My family
preferred this recipe over any other we've ever tried because
they don't like an extreme cheesy flavour - so it is a matter of
preference.
'^Since there hasn't been time to try the other recipes from
Norma, they will be tested and the recipes and results will be in
next week's column.
