E dito r ial
Once again the August Bank Holiday weekend is upon us and it’s festival time in Scariff. This year’s festival will be the eleventh since the reintroduction of an annual festival
in Scariff in 2003. As each year goes by, the festival evolves and the committee tries
to keep the programme interesting and inclusive. We hope you enjoy the line up we
have organised this year. Each year the same issues arise, such as road closures, staging arrangements, traffic control and the impact they have on traders, and the public
in general. It isn’t easy to plan a festival that keeps everyone happy but we do our best
to accommodate everyone and thank those whom it inconveniences for their understanding. The main thing to remember is that this festival was reintroduced to both
to promote Scariff and the surrounding areas amongst holidaymakers and to keep
strong the sense of community amongst our own. I think it is fair to say we have made
considerable progress on both those fronts.
It has been a deliberate decision over the years to have the majority of events and
attractions free of charge in order to keep the festival accessible to all. This year the
Frances Black concert in the church on Thursday 1st August (tickets €20) and the Family Fun day in the GAA field on Saturday 3rd August (admission €5 per person) will be
the only events we are charging for. With a budget approaching €50,000 this year
we once again have to rely heavily on sponsorship. Despite the hard financial times
many businesses are experiencing these days, the committee is extremely pleased
and grateful for the terrific support our sponsors have shown. In 2010 the committee
introduced a festival wristband at a cost of €5 to help cover the cost of running the
weekend. As sponsorship gets tighter we are becoming more reliant on the sale of
wristbands as the main source of funding. These will be on sale over the weekend at
€5 each. So please buy one and show your support for the festival: it is very good value
for the range of events and activities that are provided over the weekend.
Finally a word of thanks has to go to the team that puts the whole weekend together.
People presume it gets easier from year to year, and certainly some aspects of it do as
we gain more experience. But there is still a huge amount of work involved. It is only
with the dedication shown by these volunteers that the festival can continue to grow
and flourish and remain a vital event in the calendar of life in Scariff. Well done and
thanks to all involved. But you, the general public have to play your part as well and
support the festival. So treat yourself to a unique performance by Frances Black, get
involved in the various activities provided throughout the weekend, listen to Ryan
Sheridan or Damien Dempsey, take a river trip, browse the Arts & Crafts, and above all
else, enjoy the weekend! See the full programme of events further on in this edition
of Scariff News.

A MEMORY OF A SUMMER CUSTOM
The past few hot days reminds me of the
hot summers we used to get back in the
1950’s when I was a little lad. Those summer days were glorious, and coming
hard on the heels of a long and difficult
winter, they were greatly appreciated.
The first sign of their effect was the
appearance of most of the male students to the local National School in
their bare feet, which may have caused
some little discomfort to them for a
few days, but this was forgotten within
a week and lads ran around the rough,
stony school-yard without a bother.
Next up the list, in response to the
fine weather, was the general clothes
wash. Scariff, in the 1950’s, had a most
deplorable water supply in the town. A
few water-pumps meted out a miserable trickle of tepid water in the summer
and a deluge of muddy brown sludge
in winter, but people survived somehow. In the run-up to the wash, a tar
barrel was used to store rainwater and,
aided with a few extra buckets of water
from the local pump the job of washing
the clothes was in progress.
In those days a galvanised bathtub
was the principal mode of washing
clothes. They came in two sizes, the
standard size which was about three
feet long by about eighteen inches
deep and it had an ‘ear’ handle at each
end. The other size was the ‘family size’
bath-pan, which was a foot longer and
about six inches deeper. This particular
tub was a utility object, because it was
also used as a bath-tub for personal hygiene, being used by the family every
Saturday night, whether they felt they
needed a bath or not.
However, it was the washing of the
clothes during the hot summer days
that was the true focus of every housewife, when she stripped all the beds
of sheets, blankets and bedspreads.
Actually nothing escaped the general
clothes collection and over the following few days they were boiled, stomped,
scrubbed, rinsed and then hung out to
dry. (You might note here that ‘Lenore’
was still not even thought of but just
might have been a wish during those
vigorous scrubbings)
The bath was filled up to a little over
half way with water and placed on
the fire in the kitchen and the water
brought to the boil. Those were big fire-
SCARIFF NEWS

F ro m the A rchives
places in those days. You could nearly
drive an ass and cart up the chimney,
they were that big.
During the heating-up process, certain clothes were selected and placed
in the water. When a sufficient amount
of clothing was in there, a good shake
of a favourite washing powder was
sprinkled on them and the handle of
the sweeping brush, a stick, hurley,
blackthorn, ash-plant or anything capable of stirring the clothes around
the tub was used, to ensure a reasonable distribution of the soap powder.
During the 1950’and 60’s ‘RINSO’ ‘PERSIL’ ‘LUX’ ‘SURF’ and ‘DRIFT’ were the
common cleaning agents on washday.
PEAR’S SUNLIGHT SOAP and ‘LIFEBUOY’
were also common. Fabric conditioners
like ‘Vanish’, and ‘Comfort’ were still far
into the future. Solid soaps were used,
with Sunlight being the most popular
because you could use it during washing-up and the delph never tasted of
soap after it.
When the water was considered hot
enough, the bath-pan was carried out
to the yard and allowed to cool down a
fair bit. It was then the real work of the
washday really began.
I well remember all my female
neighbours, Mrs. O’Brien, Mrs. Hannon,
10
SCARIFF NEWS
Mrs. Long and my grandmother, Mrs.
Harte, all with their skirts hitched up
above their knees, stomping around in
the bath pan’s, pounding out any dirt
from the bedclothes, real or imagined,
with their feet. In later years I was to see,
in film, a scene from a vineyard where
the locals were stomping around in a
similar way, in tubs of grapes!
The suds from the washing powder
always fascinated me and I learned to
take handfuls of it and blow out huge
bubbles from between my hands.
The next part of the process was
the scrubbing of the clothes. This was
accomplished with the aid of a Washboard and a scrubbing-brush.
The washboard consisted of a sheet
of corrugated tin, set in a wooden frame
that was flat at the top but had two protruding legs at the bottom. The washboard was stood into the bath pan and
individual garments were then placed
against the washboard and scrubbed
vigorously with the scrubbing brush.
This particular item was a flat-backed
brush that had tough bristles on it just
like the present day deck-scrub. Any
dirt that had the temerity to remain
on the bedclothes after the ‘stomping’
quickly departed once it got a taste of
that scrubbing brush.
F ro m the A rchives
When all the clothes in the washtub
had been treated in this manner, they
were then rinsed out in cold water and
squeezed out by hand. Believe me, this
was a seriously tough job of work. A
few years ago a new type of bodybuilding apparatus called the ‘TWISTER’,
came on the market. It was based on
exactly the very principles, necessary
in the physical discipline, to squeeze
the water out of those wet and heavy
clothes. I tell you sincerely, there was
little use for diets and such nonsense in
those days and any young lad of those
days will tell you honestly that when
your mother told you to do something,
you did it: a clatter around the ear from
those formidable ladies was not something to be sneezed at.
The miracle for those women was
to be able to put on a few ounces at all
and plumpness was considered a ‘status
symbol’ amongst the housewives of the
place. Unless she had a natural inclination to be thin this was a fair indication
that this woman was the proud owner
of a Hotpoint Washing Machine. (Those
machines were available in Ireland since
around 1914 or thereabouts but were a
very rare item outside of the big cities
where piped water in some of the houses of the wealthier made them useful).
There were few fancy clotheslines
in the immediate post WW.II days and
a decent rope tied between two wellspaced apple trees was a blessing from
heaven at summer wash-time. A keen
alternative was to spread blankets and
bedspread’s across blackcurrant bush-
es or across a hedge to get the sun on
them. Sheets were the easiest items
to dry. Many sheets were homemade:
made from joined flour-sacks. Ranks
Friendship Flour was sold in two different sized sacks; the Half Hundredweight
sacks of flour weighed 4 stone and the
Half Sack weighed 16 stone, if I remember correctly, and so the bag was really
big and made for splendid sheets and
tablecloths, while the smaller sack made
really ideal pillowcases. Their whiteness
was maintained by the application of a
small amount of Drummer Blue to the
washing water. I recall this stuff was also
added to the water during the summer when whitewashing walls. It really
‘brought-out’ the white.
Before commercial starch became
available in the shops, a homemade
starch was made from peeled and
chopped potatoes left overnight in
a bowl of water, this did the trick. The
resulting starch was mostly applied
to sheets and the collars and cuffs of
men’s shirts. The starch could be a bit
scratchy on the collars, but men usually
only wore collared shirts on Sundays
when attending Mass.
These days we take it for granted
that our fully automatic washing machines will do all the necessary for us
without any fuss, beyond keeping a
careful watch on the proceedings from
the sofa, while watching our favourite
Soap (no pun intended)!

Summer and beyond at East
Clare Community Co-op
This time of year, with the long summer
days and warmth, is a good time to visit
Scariff Community Garden behind East
Clare Community Co-op on the Main
Street. A lot of improvements have been
made in the garden since President Higgins’ visit and the Fetac 5 Horticultural
Course group have added in a new seating area near Peggy Collins’ memorial
tree. The garden is buzzing with bees,
flowers, food and life and a stroll around
uncovers edible goodies in all corners
with a new edible forest garden area
planted since the spring of this year.
The Garden will be open over the Harbour Festival weekend and traditional
games will be on offer so that those
fancying a slow pace can come and relax for a couple of hours. After the success of last year’s course, Italian watercolour artist Franco Spazzi will return
to the Garden’s Meitheal space to give
his second 3-day watercolour-painting
workshop from August 12th – 14th. Later
in August there will be a ‘Traditional
Skills’ course day in the Garden as part
of the National Heritage week. As well
as a range of workshops on offer, there
will be traditional games and vintage
clothes on hire, so a fun and interactive
day is on offer where you can step back
in time and learn about how things
looked and were done in the past.
In September four new courses will be
on offer.
The VEC/ Community Education will
provide a mosaic course with Natalie
El Baba and Community Music with
Paul Browne. Fetac 5 Horticulture will
commence again through a Clare Local
Development course, with the Garden
as the practical learning space and the
Teagasc Building as the main learning
space. There is also a “Build your own
wind turbine course” in the mix, so
look out for more details in September
when dates will be tied down. Subject
to funding approval, there will also be
upcoming courses in food growing,
herbal propagation, building a solar
dehydrator, soil fertility and testing and
composting methods.
