trepidation I felt was not a fear of the job itself but of my
own lsek of experience. This, I was to discover, was the
least of my troubles.”

paragraph, Lucy Eaton beging her latest (the 11th)
publication Across Canada with a Cookbook.

It is not a cookbook of itself, though it has several
recipes scattered throughout. It is more than an
autobiography; it is rather a carefully kept journal of one
woman's efforts to sell a product and an ‘idea, the
adventures she has and the people and plates she
encounters across the land — and there are plenty of
them.

In the 44 short chapters which average about 3‘,
pages each, we get a pencil sketch of life in a number of
Canadian towns — some small, some larger — in the
1960s, and of some of the Good Samaritans and
spontaneously kind folks she met as well as some of the
chislers and cheats with which she had to deal. All are
presented without analysis and be 4 little
rancour, albeit with the occasional Lenalitied smug
satisfaction.

One of the latter was the wife of the mayor in one
town, a most uncooperative foot-dragging helper she
was. But in spite of her negative efforts Lucy and her
assistant doubled their expected quota of orders.

Lucy then goes on: “She téidme that her husband
just would not take an ad, but I insisted that we call on
him anyway and he did take one, much to her surprise.”

A little less successful call came when another
prospective customer, a butcher took after her and her
assistant with a meat cleaver — a response which
necessitated some fast talking, a strategic but hurried
retreat and then Lucy’s pet solace — a cup of tea.

Lucy is not a stylist, nor does she pretend to be. Her
approach is anecdotal and informal, delighting in the
trivia and commonplace things of everyday life

I d by the 1 acute observation or
flash of insight. As I read Across Canada, I kept thinking
it was a combination of Pepys Diaries and The
Unsinkable Molly Brown with a large dollop of Norman
Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking.

Thus, with almost every page we encounter Lucy's

cannily adds, “I noticed by the prices that the meal would
have cost me $3.70 if I had beens coach passenger.”
Her impressions of the famous (or infamous) “Newfie
Bullet”, the narrow guage railway train which ran across
diand, was less ry: “It rocks, rolls

and every once in a while gives a whallop.”
In the course of her travels she does not fail to take

advantage of opportunities to do some sightseeing and
investing. Thus, when she visits Charlottetown on Prince
Edward Island: “There I saw the room where our Fathers
of Confederation sat — in leather chairs — the dents
made by those famous bottoms still there.”

Or when the choice between the purchase of a chair
and an oil painting presented itself (supported by a little
spare cash), she writes: “A good chair would have cost as
much as an oil painting, but chairs wear out (while) oil
paintings — if good — can only increase in value.”

I would like to thank all my readers of the Hebridean
series of columns for their kind comments. I was
surprised and gratified to find that they struck a
responsive chord in what I had thought was a relatively
unknown part of Scotland. As has been noted before,
writing a column is like working in one's garden — you
never know what is going to come up.
