"Do you remember how we youngsters used to run around the horse-power ring, after the threshers had gone, how the dust, inches deep, felt like warm velvet to our bare feet and legs? And how we finally had to go home, after mother had repeatedly called to Johnie! Clara! Maud-ie! Jimmie! Until hoarse with exasperation? We'd be snatched inside, stripped of our clothing and lifted into the old, reliable, galvanized wash tub that mother had placed on the two chairs in the kitchen, half -filled with water from the wash boiler on the stove - and, equipped with a bag filled with oatmeal and a cake of Fairy soap, proceed to scrub us clean? Mutton tallow and vaseline were the cosmetics used on "us kids" - but how soothing it felt to our chapped hands, faces and feet! None of us ever repented, for the very next threshing day, back we were for more fun! How, when we had threshers thresh-ers for dinner, which was spread under trees in the dooryard, it was the duty of someone to wave a handful of willows over the table to keep off the flies?

Hatch, surprised mother one day by remarking that he was quite a big "kid" before he know chickens were made of something else besides necks and backs. (The children chil-dren always got the backs and necks and the adults the thighs and breasts.) In those days of larger families and more unexpected unex-pected visitors it was almost true! Do you remember when Aunt Lizzie, and possibly seven children, would arrive, quite unexpectedly, early some morning to spend the day? How that was taken as a matter of course, and mother moth-er dropped whatever she was doing or had planned for the day, to prepare a big dinner, to which we children were bidden to wait for the second table? When the terms "two bits" "four bits" "six bits" were used more commonly than ' in these days? One day mother sent me to a neighbor to tell Mrs. Blank that she could get the raspberries rasp-berries she'd spoken for that day, and mother said: "Tell her they are selling at seventy-five cents" and just as I went out the door she called, "don't forget; tell her she can have them for six bits. How Mrs. Blank laughed, and in the slang of the day, was my face red! I had realty thought mother had lowered the price, as a favor to Mrs. Blank. James M. Peterson and other extended family. He was preceded in death by his mother. Graveside services were held Sept. 30 at the Springville Spring-ville Evergreen Cemetery, Springville, UT. "Mike, you will be missed by so many who loved you!" The Pet Dish I Chewing rawhide Dr. Harold Davis D.V.M. s MT. WEST ANIMAL HOSPITAL I I've been asked several times in the last month or so if rawhide is okay for dogs. The digestion factor seems to be a concern for pet owners. Recently, Karla S. Rugh, DVM, Ph.D., wrote an article addressing this question. She explains that rawhide is digestible if it has been well-chewed into small pieces. The problem is that many dogs prefer to "scarf down large chunks of the stuff and then it is not so easily digested. What sometimes occurs is that these large chunks can get lodged in the esophagus, stomach or intestines intes-tines and cause life-threatening digestive-tract obstructions. ob-structions. This is only a "potential" problem, however. The risk is somewhat low when you think of all the dogs who chew rawhide and don't have problems. Something Some-thing else to consider is that these treats start out tough and dry but the more your dog chews on them the more moist they become. This can be a wonderful breeding ground for bacteria such as E. coli or Salmonella Sal-monella and can cause illness in your pet or a family member who handles it. What it boils down to is if you are going to give your dog rawhide treats take a few precautions: Find the size for your size of dog. Perhaps a large chew rather than one they try to eat in a few bites Shapes make a difference. Thin strips can be bit ten oft in smaller bites and may be less harm! ul. Keep an eye on your dog while they are enjoying their chew. When the chew gets to be a size they might swallow swal-low whole, give them a new replacement. When the treat gets soggy, take it away and let it dry out and harden before giving it back to your dog. . If this is your dog's treat of choice just a bit of care can make it a safe treat. Doesn't that prove my contentions that the "kids" of this generation are smarter, smart-er, or does it? Now another day - Do you remember when no lady ever dressed up in men's trousers, to be seen in public, except in a character role of the stage? When anything any-thing that copied the masculine mascu-line attire was taboo! Speaking Speak-ing of trousers reminds me that until recent years, they were called "work pants," but, gracious me, how vulgar! vul-gar! The modern ads now feature them as "industrial trousers," "utility longies" for youngsters, and anything, any-thing, heavens above, but "pants!" How our elders would say, "I don't know what this generation is coming to, the old, giggling things; and the abominable styles they wear, why, I saw a girl on the street with no more than one petticoat on!" Do you remember the bloomers? Made of outing flannel or black sateen - and they were never mentioned in advertisements! No, indeed; in-deed; and one never saw a display of such "unmentionables" "unmention-ables" in any store window. The store windows were filled with such things as wash tubs, boilers, soap - the yellow resin kind and Fairy soap, rope, barbed wire, bridles and nose bags (a bag that would fit over a horse's nose, filled with oats for the horse to eat), flour, etc. Do you remember when girls began wearing bloomers bloom-ers for bicycle riding? How horrified were our grandmothers! grand-mothers! Now, that was the end of the limit! I wonder what they'd do, should they witness the styles now -probably die all over again! Ain't it the truth! No less funny in those days were the peg-top trousers trou-sers the men wore, the wide lapel on coats, the celluloid collars that were cleaned with a damp cloth, and they were universally worn, and admired! The false bosom shirts that were forever slipping slip-ping or coming unbuttoned from the bottom, and they'd flap out at times, revealing a heavy red flannel undershirt!" under-shirt!" Such descriptive stories of days gone by are fun to read. We all need to look back and ask ourselves, "Are we better off today than yesterday?' yes-terday?' I think times were easier, much more relaxed, time to visit with neighbors. Now everything has to be on a schedule. Rush here to this meeting, or this game or TV show.
