THE T1BBLE FAMILY "I REMEMBER" BY THE OLD TIMERS From Mrs. Jane Warner, Kun-kl- e, Ohio: I just recently started reading your Old Timers column. I like it and thought I would send in a story that happened "way back when." It was the old slip-pery slide in Winter. What fun! I remember my parents scold-ed me for wearing out my over-shoes, or artices, as they were called. Maybe two or three of us kids would just happen to find a good area for a long, icy slide. We would start the slippery part run fast as we could, then turn our feet a little sideways, and slide nearly the same length as we ran. We would start the slippery part of it, then it wouldn't be long be-fore a long line of kids were there to take their turn sliding on that long narrow strip of icy surface. Today I don't see kids making such fun. I don't believe that I had colds then as often as I have today. This happened when I was a young girl in Stryker, Ohio. (Send ontrlbutlons to this column to Th Old Timer, Community I'ress Serv-ice, Box S9, Frankfort, Kentucky.) Until 1850, it was customary for playing cards to have plain white unmarked backs because card players believed these could not be as easily marked. Then the popular single color backs featuring geo-metric designs were introduced and caught on. |
