Maple
syrup [1] (to make) in
Canada and many
northern states of the United States, but
Vermont
claims to produce the finest. Here is a description
of
maple sugaring in my home state of Vermont.

Maple
sugar [2] (to produce) from maple syrup, and
maple syrup [3] (to
produce) by boiling the sap of the
sugar maple tree. This whole
process [4] (to call) «sug-
aring.» Maple sap [5] (to
compose) of water, sugar,
minerals such as lime, potash, iron,
and certain veg-
etable acids. The sugar content depends on the
leaf de-
velopment of the maple tree and the amount of sun-
shine
that [6] (to absorb) by the leaves during the sum-
mer before the
sugar season.

The
sap begins to flow in the late winter, when the
nights are still
cold but the days are warm. The sap [7]
(to gather) in this way:
a hole [8] (to make) into the side
of a large maple tree, and
then a tap [9] (to insert) into
the hole. A tap is like a faucet,
so that the sap can flow
freely through it. Then a bucket [10]
(to place) on the
tree just under the tap. The bucket [11] (to
cover) with
a lid of some kind so that rain, snow, or bugs do not
fall
into the sap.

There
may be as many as 500 maple trees in what
[12]
(to call) «a sugar bush.»
Sometimes more than one
bucket [13] (to place) on a tree. This
means that 600 to
700 buckets must [14] (to empty) of their sap
contents
at least once a day. Although tractors [15]
(tduse) now
to carry
workers from tree to tree, horses [16] (to use)
in the past. Some
farmers still prefer to use horses be-
cause they can maneuver
more easily among the trees
through the snow.

The
buckets filled with sap [17]
(to bring) to a cen-
tral location, the «sugar house.»
Since the sap is about

208

35
percent of water, maple syrup [18] (to make) by get-
ting rid of
the surplus water.

This
[19] (to do) by boiling the sap. First, it [20] (to
pour) into a
sap pan or evaporator. This evaporator
pan (sometimes as large as
five by sixteen feet) [21]
(to
build) on top of
firebox in which a roaring wood-fire
[22] (to build). The sap
[23] (to boil) for forty-five to
sixty minutes, depending on the
quality of the sap and
the temperature of the fire. The sap,
which has now be-
come a sweet, sticky syrup, [24] (to pour)
through
flannel or a strainer to ensure purity and clarity.
Then
it [25] (to put) into bottles or cans. Believe it or
not,
about thirty-five gallons of sap [26] (to use) to make
one
gallon of syrup!

Maple
sugar [27] (to make) by continuing to boil the
syrup until it
begins to thicken. Then it [28] (to beat)
with a heavy wooden
spoon, although today sometimes
an electric beater [29] (to use).
When the syrup is so
thick that it pours slowly, it [30] (to
pour) into flat
pans or specially shaped molds. After it hardens,
it
[31] (to cut) into cubes and used for sweetening, like
lumps
of sugar; or it [32] (to sell) to tourists as maple
sugar candy.

«Sugar
on snow» is a special treat that [33] (to en-
joy) by all
Vermonters at the end of the sugaring sea-
son. Maple syrup [34]
(to boil) until it will «wax» —
which
is about 235°F. Then immediately it [35] (to
pour) directly onto
a dish of snow! The hot syrup be-
comes crystalline and brittle,
and anyone who has
never eaten Sugar on Snow has missed one of
the gas-
tronomical
treats of a lifetime.

Three
new breath-test machines are being tried out
by the police. But
one has been found to have a fault. A
very
big fault. It gets drunk. The guilty machine is a
mini
computer. A driver blows into it and straight
away
the driver’s alcohol level is printed on a screen.

But
the machine being tried out in Smethwick has
been hiccuping out
the wrong figures. Police took in
into
custody, and found it was too keen on the smell of
alcohol. Each
time it was «topped up» by the machine.
This meant an
innocent driver could be accused of be-
iiig
over the legal limit.

Fortunately
the machines have only been used for
practice. No driver has been
wrongly convicted. Ex-
perts are now trying to find a cure for
the tipsy ma-
■
hine. The machines are
being tested for six months.
Then the best of them will be used
by police all over

213

Britain.
They will cut out the need for separate blood
and urine tests.
This will make them cheaper to use.

was due

distance. Agreeing, David explained that the
train stopped at
every station. He knew this, as he had
to make that journey once

Joan
and Peter were trying to decide what to send
Aunt Harriet for a
birthday present. Joan suggested
that as their aunt was very fond
of riding she would
perhaps like a book about horses. Peter
reminded her
that they had sent their aunt a book the previous
year,
and thought that in any case she must be nearly too old
for
riding. He suggested they might send her a large
box of
chocolates. Joan pointed out that this wouldn’t
look very
original as their aunt had
sent them choco-
lates for a Christmas present. Just then,
Peter’s
brother Andrew came into the room, and they both
ap-
pealed to him for ideas. Andrew could only say,
rather
unhelpfully, that the trouble was that their aunt

226

hadn’t
got enough interests; she spent most of her
time sitting in that
enormous house waiting for some-
thing to happen, and complaining
when it did.

Joan
worked in a shop selling
gramophone records.
One day a middle-aged woman came in, sat on a
stool in
front of the counter and beamed at Joan. Addressing
Joan
familiarly, she said she wanted a record —
one
she had heard on the radio that morning. Joan asked
what
the record was called. The woman shook her head
and
said she didn’t remember, though she would know
i t if she heard
it. She suggested that Joan should play
her some, and settled
herself more comfortably on her
stool. Joan pointed out that they
had hundreds of
records
on stock, and that it would take a very long
I
ime to play her even a
little of each. She asked the lady
[
f she could hum it to her. The woman giggled and re-
plied
that she couldn’t sing «God save the Queen» in
tune.
They would get into a worse muddle if she
.started
humming. She looked very depressed, but sud-
denly
her face brightened. She had just remembered
something and said:
that it came from a play in which
there was a woman who spoke
very badly, but who af-
ter
a time learned to talk beautifully. Joan asked if it
would be
from «My Fair Lady».
The woman exclaimed
that
that was it. She wished Joan had thought of it ear-
lier
instead of wasting time asking silly questions. She
и
pposed Joan was new to a job.

Mr.
Harding told the Archdeacon that he had in-
formed Sir Abraham he
would resign and that conse-
quently he must do so. The
Archdeacon couldn’t agree
that this was at all necessary, and
pointed out that
nothing Mr. Harding said in such a way to his
own
counsel could be in any way binding on him. He had
simply
been there to ask his lawyer’s advice. The Arch-
deacon felt sure
that Sir Abraham had not advised any
such step. Mr. Harding
agreed that he hadn’t. The rev-
erend cross-examiner went on to
say that he was sure
Sir Abraham had advised him against it,
which, again,
Mr. Harding could not deny. Pressing home his
advan-
tage, the Archdeacon expressed his assurance that
Sir
Abraham must have advised Mr. Harding to consult
his
friends. Mr. Harding having
been obliged to assent
to this proposition also, the Archdeacon
concluded by
saying decisively that Mr. Harding’s threat of
resigna-
tion therefore amounted to nothing and that they
were
just where they had been before.

THE COOK
Susan and Peter got married in Rome (room) where Peter was working as a teacher at the Parker Institute ((‘institju:Q). They lived in a nice room at the Anconi Hotel and had their meals at the restaurant of the hotel.
Some time later Susan got an urgent telegram from her home in england which said that her mother felt bad. So she had to fly to London.
Today she was to come back and Peter was waiting for her at Rome Airport. The plane landed with a short delay. Susan got off, went through the Customs and Passport Control and came up to Peter.
«hello», she said. «How are you?»
«Fine. And you?»
«Oh, I am tired, but happy to be back. Any news?’
«Yes, I’ve rented a comfortable flat for us. I’ve been living there for a week. It’s very close to the Anconi Hotel.. Are you glad, Susan?»
«Of course I am, but I’m also afraid. You know, l can’t cook»
»It’s all right I’ll cook our meals. And we won’t have to eat at home
all the time. We can sometimes go to the Anconi restaraunt and eat our favourite dishes there.»
It took heat about an hour to get from the airport to their new home.
«Well, you have а look at the Flat,’ Peter said, «and I’ll cook our lunch. We are going to have fried meat, if you don’t mind. It «will be ready very quickly.» And he went to the kitchen. Soon Susan came in and looked at the meat.
«it looks very nice, but why are you cooking it without butter?
‘ «Never mind,» Peter said, «it’ll cook itself. We can go and have some beer»
In the room they sat down on the sofa and began drinking beer and exchanging news. Some minutes later Susan asked: «Don’t you think the meat can burn?»
They came into the kitchen.
It has burnt, after all;» Peter said.
«Have you ever cooked meat before?» Susan asked.
«As a matter of fact, l haven’t»
«Neither have I», said Susan. «You know what, let’s go to the Anconi restaurant. They serve delicious fried meat there.»
