Show "I REMEMBER"! BV TH OLD TIMERS i 1 From Mr. Clarence J. Fortes-cue, Fortes-cue, Sooth Norfolk, Va: I remember remem-ber when as a little girl my grandfather grand-father used to drive to church In buggy pulled by old "Prince" the horse. I used to sit at the foot of the buggy on a little stool, and every once in a while the horse would switch his tall in my face. My grandmother had a four ' poster bed with a feather mattress and you had to climb steps to get up Into It. It had a big white ruffle all round and there was a trundle trun-dle bed that went under it in the daytime. My grandmother always baked me a cake on my birthday. It had about ten little thin layers and plenty of filling. We kids used to go behind our grandfather in the field. He would pick up the big Irish potatoes to ship away and we had to pick up the little ones for home use. We had one job that we all haled, and that was to go out every afternoon and fill up the express ex-press wagon with the apples that fell on the ground during the day and haul them out to the hogs. From Marion Hamilton, French-burg, French-burg, Ky.l I can remember when there were noisy cars or trucki on the highways, no noisy tractors trac-tors on the farms and no noisy airplanes air-planes in the air. And in the quietness we could go out onto the hills on a cold, mill morning and all around us hear the wood cutter's axes and the rail splitter's wooden mauls.
