From Mrs. John Schaeberle, York, Pa.: I can remember when people peo-ple went around with their arms in splints because their automobile had "kicked" them. j i From Flora Dietrich, EI Paso, : Texas: I remember the ice cream socials when they made the custard from milk, eggs, sugar, lemon ot vanilla flavoring and put the eustard in a freezer. They put the freezer in a tub or cracked ice, salted and you turned the cranli until your arm seemed like it would fall off. Sure, the tables were ali loaded with cake, all frosted too.
