Show "I REMEMBER" BY THE OLD TIMERS From Mrs. Jane Warner, Kun-kle, Kun-kle, 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 slippery slip-pery slide in Winter. What fun! I remember my parents scolded scold-ed me for wearing out my overshoes, 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 before 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.
