In May Mrs. Teed appeared on C.H.S.J - T.V. discussing tasty foods of the Loyalist Days, one of which
was "Loyalist Baked Beans". If you write to the secretary you may have these recipes.
Loyalist Baked Beans
Soak overnight in cold water, about 4 cups of beans, yellow eyed preferred.
In morning drain off the water and parboil until a little tender (about 15 or
20 minutes) drain and spread in a large roasting pan, about 8 inches by 10
inches. Season with salt, pepper and a little mustard. Add about 3/4 cup of
molasses.
Bake all together, after placing in centre a small roast of fresh pork and
about a three pound rib roast for this quantity of beans. Stir frequently, and
add water as required, just enough not quite to cover the beans.
To add to this delicious way of baking beans, serve with Boston Steamed
Brown Beans.
1968 Spring
S
ince the last issue of our Gazette four new members have been accepted in the New Brunswick
Branch. Mrs. Marion C. Rankine has been appointed to contact all members of our Society in the St.
John area concerning the song "My Own Canadian Home". It was desired by our Society that the song be
adopted by Common Council of Saint John as the official song of the city. In January a letter was
received from Saint John's Common Clerk saying that the song had been adopted. This decision was
prompted as the composer, Morley McLaughlin, and the author of the lyrics, E. G. Newton. were both
natives of Saint John.
Our President, Mrs. J. F. H. Teed, has appointed a committee headed by Major E. A. Flewelling, to
investigate and recommend action to be taken with respect to Loyalist Grave Sites. Major Flewelling also
heads a committee to report on the feasibility of raising a suitable monument to the Loyalist Founders of
the Province of New Brunswick.
It appears that many citizens do not realize that there is a Queen of Canada. An experiment was
conducted on a Youth Group and a University Class, and in both groups the members indicated that there
was no Queen of Canada, only the Queen of England.
It is therefore, proposed that the Association consider urging the Government to give the Queen of
Canada, a Canadian Crown, and that the Royal Proclamation Titles be revised to state, 'Elizabeth the
Second by the Grace of God, the Queen of Canada, and Her other Realms and Territories'.
A book entitled "Canada's First City" has been compiled by Eric L. Teed. This contains information on
the Charter of 1785 and Common Council Proceedings under Major G. G. Ludlow of Saint John, N. B.,
1785-1795. This book may be purchased for $4.00 by writing to New Brunswick Branch, Box 639, Saint
John, N. B.
