Show Do You Remember? .. . will be one big city. Would not our Utah Pioneers be thrilled to see the changes from desert to Metropolis! And yet back of all the rise in population, the enormous building projects there is the terrible war, haunting the whole nation as a dreadful spectre stalking the land! Do you remember the years of tranquil living the child-hood days call to the mind, blessed child-hood, when the world lies only in the homelife and parents were shield from every terror of troubl" of the youthful years! AJjf MAUDE H. BENEDICT Do you remember that a generation genera-tion ago, it was the regular thing to coddle and kiss, bounce and squeeze, rock and sing lullaby's to the baby? Then came a new order, it was found that kisses spread germs, trotting and bouncing upset the stomach, and too much loving was bad for the baby, so babies were reared for a while under a do not kiss, do not bounce nor rock regime. re-gime. Now a New York psychiatrist has discovered that a baby insufficiently insuf-ficiently mothered developes behavior be-havior disorders. We all knew that science was bound to catch up with Grandma sometime! We remember a nurse we had when sonny was a baby. She was a dear motherly soul, who thought rocking a baby was part of its education, and she always sang to him in a quavery old voice "Oh r tell me pretty Red Man, who you are and why you roam, how do you make your living, have you no God, no home?" It was hard on the nerves of adult members of the family, but how that baby loved it! He would go to sleep on the highest, shrillest notes, which proves the psychiatrist is right and how do we know how to judge a baby's taste for music either. It also proves that even our behavior be-havior habits come in cycles, as in the matter of clothing styles. For instance the hand muffs worn in the early 1900's, long since stored in moth-balls have now appeared ap-peared in all their beauty and luxury, lux-ury, to add charm and warmth to your coat or suit-dress. Fringes, jet trimmings, colorful sequins and hats that really are hats are back in style. Speaking of moth-balls calls to mind a conversation overheard recently, He "I just read that a mos- quito can cry"! She "I'm not surprised, I've seen a moth ball"! Remembering lovely Ida Alle-man, Alle-man, who was a teacher in the Central school in the years ago, and we find she is still doing educational ed-ucational work, as a registered Genealogical librarian in the Salt Lake Library. There was also Francis Bird of our city, who was an ordinance worker in the Salt Lake Temple, and Nellie Sumsion, who became head librarian of the Genealogical Library, in Salt Lake City. Many outstanding teachers have come to larger cities, from Springville, a few remembered are Nellie Weight; Cleo Pierce; Floss Har-mer; Har-mer; Effie Kelsey; Ella Maycock; Frieda Mason; Othei Packard, and many others of both sexes. January, and no snow on the ground, quite a different picture than last winter when snow lay deep for many weeks and it was very cold weather for six weeks. No one skating nor sleighing, this winter so far. Do you remember the fun we had playing Fox and Geese in the new-fallen snow? If the Government continues building Plants and such defense projects of war-fare it will soon be evident that there will be no open spaces all the way from Southern to Northern Utah; we |
