Show "I REMEMBER" BY THIOLfl TIMER: From Mrt. Elsie Witte, Philadelphia, Phila-delphia, Ia.: I remember when I used to go to the Saturday afternoon after-noon movies with my father and on the way I would stop at a candy store and buy a prize bag for two cents and you had a bag full of candy. Sometimes on the way home Pop would treat me to a big dish of homemade ice cream that cost ten cents and you got a nice glass of cold water with it. My big sister and I used to go around and wait at the corner for my father to get oil the trolley car coming from work and we were so glad to see him we would give him a hug and a kiss and we'd hold his hand all the way home. The people then seemed so nice and kind to one another and I shall never forget those days gone by. m w m From Helena Richie, T)Ier, Texas: I remember my grandmother grand-mother wrapping me in a blanket and carrying me, a five-year-old, through a scary, dark hall to her room. The brightness, warmth and love that awaited me when that door was opened enfolds me to this day. There were two rocking rock-ing chairs drawn to the hearth on which, the night before, had been placed the makings of tea. Over ' the flames the kettle sang merrily. merri-ly. Soon we were drinking tea that was half creamy, country milk and eating those big, old-fashioned old-fashioned soda crackers. Even now, I can lunch most heartily on hot tea and crackers; and my companion always is a sweet, little lit-tle old lady whom I see with my mind's eye.
