Show Pi remember:': BY THE0LDIIMERS r - - rr ...... L .A From Mrs. P. Hoelscher, Estancla, N.Y.: I remember "how good it felt to sink into a huge featherbed in a cold bedroom on a cold night; also sleeping with a hot iron at my feet on zero nights. From H. Cohen, Bronx, N. Y.: I remember the cracker barrel in the old country grocery store which sold crackers by the pound. From Mrs. Florence Sparks, Jeffer-sonvUle, Jeffer-sonvUle, Ind.: I remember when I was a small girl going to the woodland with my father and his work hands to gather tan bark from :the trees. They would split the bark and haul it away. I never knew what they used tan bark for.. From S. L. Edgar, Tomball, Texas: We used to make chewing gum out of pine resin, gum elastic bark and stretch berries; We would use a wad for months. Oh, what bliss when my girl would let me chew her wad for awhile! From the Old Cuss, Chicago: I remember re-member the celluloid collar it revolutionized the collar industry, and almost revolutionized some of the practical jokers of the day, who took great delight in applying a match to some pompous guy s collar col-lar This would singe his chin whiskers-today's hot foot was tame beside this trick. I remember when stores used to sell mourning badges to wear when a famous person died. From Silas Whitaker, Orlando, Fl.s I remember the old song, The Cat Came Back."
