BY THE WAYV.......... When spring rolls around, it brings back memories of “spring cleaning” that our family had to endure every spring. The wood and coal burning furnaces and heaters contributed greatly to the soiled walls and everything else in the house. Believe me when I tell you --- the topsy turvey moving of furniture, mattresses, painting and varnishing would about put one at the end of your rope before it all could be put back in place again. I hated all that as a child. Mattresses were taken outside and beaten with a carpet beater to remove all dust and to freshen them up. The same happened to any carpet pieces that were on the floor. We had no such thing as a vacuum cleaner or other cleaning conveniences. A bissell sweeper was all my mother had and she managed to keep the carpet spotless, The woodwork was varnished every spring and finally would turn a color very close to black. If you have ever restored any old wood work and had to remove these many coats of varnish. you'll know what a ‘tedious job this is but isn't it fun to see the beautiful wood underneath all of this? They didn't seem to value wood for it's beauty like we do now. The same repeat process was done to all painted areas till molding and other wood framing was totally changed in it's form. My mother seemed to like certain rooms in our home wall papered and she was very adept at that. My sisters or sisters-in-law were called in to help, especially with the ceilings. This 'crew' moved from house to house till they had all their own papering done for that year. Good system I think! Of course Mother was the boss and I think they all learned the art of paper hanging from her. What I remember is the laughing and fun they seemed to have despite the work. It was all so wonderful and clean feeling for another year. We clean around the calendar year now and | can't imagine having to endure this type of cleaning now. Thanks to all of our conveniences, cleaners and modem _ beating appliances, we have been spared of all the work and life is much easier. Possibly 50 years from now we will be happy that we don't have to deal with those natural gas furnaces. By the Way......What we leave in our children is more important than what we leave to them. /s/ Jewell Dahl calendar. Judge Phillip Eves is taking it under advisement and will announce his decision at a later, unspecified time. Milford Bell Choir Attends Annual Spring hing Lost: One Freshly Cashed Paycheck court Thompson (Milford) and Dennis Cox, District Speech Pathologist, tests Milford Elementary student, Matt Schofield. The GSI 17 Audiometer may be in a small package, but it gives a BIG service to the community. The one above was provided for the District by donations from United Way, ESA Farms. It is used in Milford and Minersville. Sorority, and Circle 4 A similar audiometer, purchased from donations in that community, is in use on the East side of the county. Milford Valley Hospital has also donated an audio scope for use in the District. Cox said having the testing equipment on site in the district gives immediate service to any student at the first sign of difficulty. Otherwise, it would be necessary to wait until the state testing van visits the area at approximate 6-month intervals. The district-wide goal is to screen all students for hearing. Screening takes onily a few minutes per child. The child is fitted with headphones and asked to raise his or her hand when they hear a sound. The audiometrist sets the equipment to emit sound into either or both of the earphones at various decibels. Cox said classroom learning volume averages about 30 decibels. If the student shows difficulty in this range, it can indicate a hearing disability. In such case, the student is referred . to an Audiologist for further examination. A cold or sinus congestion may also be a factor, causing a child to have temporary difficulty in determining sound. Follow-up testing, after the health problem has been eliminated, may show different results. Hearing and vision are always eliminated as problems before students are assigned to Special Education classes. Testing with the audiometer is also available, free of charge, to The Milford Memorial Handbell Choir attended the annual Spring Ring last weekend.
