for blessings on the graduates or their families. The speeches were nice, but they were routine, until the final speech received a standing ovation. A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then he delivered his speech…an astounding sneeze. The rest of the students rose immediately to their feet, and in unison they said, ”GOD BLESS YOU.” The audience exploded into applause. The graduating class found a unique way to invoke God’s blessing on their future with or without the court’s approval.
WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY! God bless those students. God bless America NEWS ABOUT TOWN The staff of the Three Rivers News would like to extend their sympathy to the families of Wayne Haley and Joe Morrill. The community will miss them.

Catalina Dressing
1/2 cup salad oil 1/3 cup cider vinegar 1/2 cup tomato ketchup 2 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt Dash ground cloves Combine ingredients in a pint sized jar. Cover and shake vigorously until sugars are dissolved. Chill. Shake again before serving. This makes about 1 1/2 cups. If you are looking for a beautiful side salad, you may be interested in this one that has been served by my Aunt Lucille Morrison’s family for many years. Lay a bed of lettuce on a salad plate. Top with a slice of pineapple. Make a cream cheese ball and place it right in the center of the pineapple slice. Make a Homemade Salad Dressing of the following: 3 eggs beaten well 1/2 cup vinegar 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 tablespoon melted butter 1 tablespoon dry mustard Salt and pepper This is not a cooked dressing. Mix in a bowl until it thickens. Then store covered in the refrigerator. Cousin Gail says, “It lasts forever (although we don’t know why, because there are eggs in it). You have to stir it a little before you use it. It’s also great on a cold chicken or turkey sandwich in place of mayonnaise.” We always had this salad in our home, as well. The difference was in the dressing. We always just mixed up a little mayo thinned out with some sugar and a little vinegar and used it for a dressing. This special dressing, however, is absolutely luscious. You can dress this side salad up a little more by chopping a few walnuts to sprinkle on top of each salad after it’s been dressed, and then a dash of paprika on top of that! A new molded salad that has become a family favorite of ours is Pear Salad. I knew that I’d made a hit when my son-in-law went back for second and third helpings of this wonderful salad. And the best part of this salad is that it goes well with so many meals. You need a blender to make this one. 1 large can of pears (drain and reserve the juice) 1 small box lemon Jell-O 8 oz. cream cheese 1 cup Cool Whip 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Boil 1 cup of the pear juice and the Jell-O for 1 minute. Add all the other ingredients to the blender, pour in the juice and Jell-O mixture and blend until smooth. Pour into a serving container, approximately 1 1/2 quart in capacity, and refrigerate until firm. I’ve always made this salad well in advance of when we were going to eat it....so I’m not sure what the minimum gelling time would be. Believe me when I tell you, your family will lap this salad up in no time, and you’ll have little left over. Happy Salad Making! |

Why do we have seasons? |

so the temperatures in an Antarctic winter are colder than winter near the North Pole.
The reason for the seasons of the year is that the earth is tilted with respect to the plane of the solar system by about 23.5 degrees. What this means is that the sun is at the top of the sky from 23.5 degrees north of the equator to 23.5 degrees south of the equator during different parts of the year. The farthest north is called the Tropic of Cancer and its opposite is called the Tropic of Capricorn. These are shown as lines on a globe or map. North or south of these lines the sun is never directly overhead, but always shines at an angle. On the first day of spring or the vernal equinox, and the first day of autumn (the autumnal equinox) the sun is directly overhead at the equator. The difference is that it is moving north in springtime and heading south in the fall. The winter solstice is when the sun is directly overhead 23.5 degrees south of the equator and the summer solstice is when it is directly overhead at 23.5 degrees north of the equator. The major reason it is colder during the winter months here is that the sunshine is spread over a larger area so the light and heat it gives cover a larger area of the ground and daylight is for a shorter period of time. It is much like shining a flashlight directly at the floor at a distance of three feet and then shining it at a 45-degree angle at a distance of three feet. The area of the oval of light on the floor is much larger than the area of the circle of light shining straight down. The farther north one travels the greater the difference between the longest and shortest days of the year. Near the poles there are days when the sun at times never rises and at times never sets. The greatest distance from the poles where these occur is shown on a map as Arctic and Antarctic circles.

THE HERMIT OF FIVE ISLANDS To those of you who have an interest in the history of Schoodic Lake, I would like to tell a true story as it was told to me by my father, Oscar Hamlin. About 1915 the Thread Company was sawing white birch at the sawmill at Five Islands. There were, in addition to the sawmill, a hotel, a railroad station, a hovel for horses, and several camps. One of these camps was occupied by the caretaker of the buildings in the summer and fall when they were not being used. The company had been unable to find anyone locally to take the job, so advertised in the Boston papers for someone. The ad was answered by a middle-aged man by the name of George Herbert, who spoke very broken English. He was hired and apparently served the company well for several years. He was sort of a loner who didn’t have friends, nor did he want any. One time he brought to Milo and gave my grandfather, Edwin Hamlin, who was then the company superintendent, a 25-pound togue. He didn’t say how he caught it, but my grandfather always thought he netted it, as it had no marks of being hooked. As time went on, my grandfather got to know him somewhat and found out that George had been captain of a German merchant ship. He had brought his ship to this country, where his crew all quit. He also quit, left the ship, and answered the ad in the paper. He built a sailboat at Five Islands, which he would sail in the roughest weather, tipping it over several times. He would accept no help in righting it or bailing it out from anyone in the village. As time went by, the word got around that he had some money hidden in or around the camp, as he apparently never spent it or did anything that required money. One night two young men from Milo went to his camp, broke in the door and beat him to death. Dad said he must have put up an awful fight, as there wasn’t a whole piece of furniture left in the camp. One of the men was caught and served 27 years in the state prison. The other one was never caught, and it was thought that he somehow got across the border and into the Canadian army. George Herbert was 72 years old when he |
was murdered. They never found any money. Mr. Herbert is buried in Milo Evergreen Cemetery in Section 34, lot 9. AROUND AND ABOUT IN PISCATAQUIS COUNTY |

 KEY CLUB NEWSBY TRISH HAYES Thank you to Dennis Dorsey, Roy Bither and Frank Cochran for visiting us on March 7th. At that meeting, the members signed up to cover the various stations at the blood drive and voted to purchase two “Gifts of Hope” from the American Cancer Society. Each year at this time the American Cancer Society holds its annual daffodil sale and this year the “Gift of Hope” has been added as an option. The “Gift of Hope” is a bouquet of daffodils in a vase that is delivered to an area cancer patient to brighten their day. Thanks to these caring members two people will be surprised with bright yellow daffodils - a sure sign of spring and brighter days!! The Key Club extends its sympathy to the family of Joe Morrill. His passing is a great loss to our community and we’ll all miss him. THREE RIVERS KIWANIS NEWS REGULAR MEETING MARCH 6 MEETING NOTES |
