Each week as I attempt to write this article on saving, it becomes just a little more difficult because the savings are fewer and harder to find and the need to save grows each day. I dont know how many of you remember the depression of 1930 but as a child growing up I remember it very well. I mention it here because saving if not vital part was a very real part of every day living. The things I learned during that time have helped me in many ways all my life. As a child I did not resent the fact that there was very little money. It was a normal part of . growing up. I do remember many of the ways my mother and father made what little money there was stretch to meet the demands of raising a family. Some of them are quite humurous (at least they were to me). Im sure if I had realized at the time just what my parents were having to do to meet the needs of us kids, I would not have thought it was so funny. But at the time, it was great fun trying to make . something out of nothing. Im reminding us all of them here now, because a lot of the things we did were very money saving and when I think of the things I waste now, I can just see my mother raising her hands in the air and saying, Oh, no. Dont throw that away. There is; a use for everything. I was small, there was no . When television, of course. We all sat around in the evening and listened to the radio. But as children we couldnt just sit and do nothing. (Whoever saw a child that could sit still for more than five minqtes?) So my mother would get out all the old towels, show us how to cut them into pieces the size of washcloths, and have us hem them neatly. We not only made washcloths from the worn towels, but learned to sew by hand in the process. We did the same thing with old sheets. First they became pillowcases, then when the pillowcases were ,worn, handkerchiefs. Any strips that were left were sewn together for dying later to make braided rugs. As L mentioned in earlier article, pieces of old clothes were either used for quilts, or cut into strips for braided rugs. And have you ever worn socks made from old wool clothes? There is nothing like the bunches between the toes where the seams are in the end of homemade socks. Boy did they itch! But the money went for food that we could not grow or raise. I want to assure you that I am not complaining about growing up during the depression. Quite the contrary. It was a time of closeness in our family that I will always cherish. I can remember one time when I wanted a special dress for school. We used to get feed for the cows in figured or white feed sacks. One group of sacks had a pattern printed on them of large tubes of lipstick. My mother made me a pinafore dress with a large white apron sewn into the center of the front (there was not enough of the patterned material to make the whole dress). all My, was I proud of that dress ruffles and a snowy, white apron besides! In those days we used a heavy starch on white clothes that took forever to iron. But I wore that dress at least once a week to school. I have no idea how long it took my mother to iron but all those it was always ready when I wanted it. My mittens were made from old coats. I can remember my mother laying my hands on a piece of white paper, drawing around them to get the proper size, and then cutting out the pattern. She let me trace around the pattern, cut out the mittens, and sew them up. Then she put a piece of elastic across the wrist on the inside of the back to hold them snug. Sometimes, if there were some outing flannel she would line them. And do you remember the string that were tied td each one that went-uthrough the sleeves of your coat so you wouldnt lose the mittens? You could take the mittens off and just let them dangle and never lose them. If you were lucky you had a stocking cap made froin the same material and were you proud of the matched set! I never owned a store bought dress until I was old enough to earn my own money and buy my own.. But the prettiest clothes I ever had were made by my mother. No one else had ones like them. Each was unique. And that brings to mind something else we did that saved a lot of money. Have you ever rinsed your hair with vinegar? I had braids long enough to sit on. Oh, the tangles when I washed it! It was an all afternoon affair just to get my hair washed and after having it braided all week the crinkles in it were JANE CARPENTER almost there to stay. But after washing it, we rinsed it with vinegar to get all the soap out and when it squeeked when we rubbed it we knew it was clean. The vinegar made the hair shine better than "any of the new rinses on the market now. And come to think of it, I cant remember ever having dandruff or dry hair problems. What fun we had making do with ' what we had! The need for saving drew the family together out of necessity. I hope you will forgive me for reminiscing just a little bit, but it was such a good time in my life I hoped you would enjoy the, tips on saving that meant so much to me.
