Show THE MODERN GRANDMA If you are one who remembers Grandma as a sweetly wrinkled old lady in lace cap who sat by the fire and knitted on winter evenings, and rocked and fanned herself on the porch in summer, then you are 'just another old-timer. The activities of a Grandmother's club recently organized in Chicago Chi-cago will give you an idea how vastly grandma has changed. The club boasts of a membership of 39 grandmathers. One of its rriembers is a candidate for mayor; another employs 800 people in her candy factory; a third heads the B. & 0. women's wo-men's department; a fourth manages a $3,000,000 estate; a fifth (with 13 grandchildren) manages a gravel pit. Like younger folks, these grandmas play as well as work, listing as their favorite exercise swimming, horseback riding, bowling bowl-ing and gardening. Mister, you certainly don't know what you are talkinga bout when you suggest pulling out the rocking rock-ing chair for gi-andma of this day and age. ' |
