" i , - - ' 1 THIS BEAUTIFUL WINDOW featuring the Madonna and child is annually created on the window of J. Glade Sorenson at 475 E. 1100 North, Pleasant Grove. Continued From Page 10 brown. I could gather a bunch of them tomorrow to make tree decorations." j "Curtis, what a lovely idea. Those burrs stick together tight and we could form them into balls or bell shapes to hand on the tree." "Mama, can we have a Christmas j cake this year?" Thomas inquired, "It will be some sort of Christmas cake, Tommy. I saved some sugar, j but without any eggs the cake won't be very light. Still I '11 make a cake for us with what I have." "And Papa and I will go shoot ; some rabbits," Curtis Washington added. "Your Papa said we could eat some of the seed potatoes for Christmas dinner, too, for a special treat, but only a few 'cause we must save the ' rest for spring planting." "And make some bread dressing for the rabbits," Curtis requested. "You make the best bread dressing in the world." Brasilia smiled. "You are sweet children." The next morning Washburn approached Mrs. Caldwell. "Ma'am, I would like to help you out with Christmas presents for your boys. I could whittle some whistles for them if you'd like. There are plenty of willows along the creek." "Oh, Washburn, how nice of you. Those will make fine Christmas ' presents for the boys. Now what in the world can I get for Almiry? I don't have a bit of yarn left or I could knit her some mittens." Brazilla had saved a corncob from which she had fashioned a doll. For a dress she had cut a piece from her old pink petticoat. "How I wish I had , something bright and beautiful for my little girl," she mused. ' The day before Christmas was sunny and bright, although a light skiff of snow lay on the ground. Washburn came into the house, j "Sister Caldwell," he inquired, "do you have a long tough string of some kind?" : "What for, Washburn?" "Well, it's a sort of secret idea I have." "I'm sorry. The only string I have is this spool of sewing thread. And it's not very strong. Would this do?" "No, I'm afraid it's too thin. But I have another idea. Coulu I borrow ji :Mr. Caldwell's blade ra v?" .' "Oh, he's not here to ask, !but...well, go ahe ii " ' The young man took the razor and went into his ka:-to- . There he extracted a rawhide lace from one j boot, and carefully slit it the full length, taking off a long, thin, tough string. He replaced his boot and went out to the creek bed where he gathered his pockets full of rose hips from the numerous wild rose bushes that had bloomed there in the summer. Returning home he secreted himself in his room and began to punch a small hole in each little red berry--like rose hip with a tiny awl. Then he laced the rose hips onto the rawhide string until he had created a long strand of beads. He tied the loose ends of the string together in a bow. A smile spread over his young face and he sighed happily. Christmas morning was a busy time. Elmira played with her cornhusk doll and the two boys kept the room alive with their reed whistles. Brazilla found a new sewing basket which her husband had braided from reeds, and she gave him and Washburn each a new pair of knitted sox. Three plump rabbits were roasted over a spit while the woman cooked and mashed the potatoes and prepared dressing in a bake skillet. The Christmas cake waited tempt-ingly on the table as the family sat down for a Christmas feast. After the blessing, Washburn said, "Before we eat, I have something for Rachel Almira." From his room he returned bearing the string of beads he had made from the rose hips. A squeal of delight escaped the lips of the little girl. "Oh, put them on me, please, Washburn. Ohl They're the most beautiful beads I ever saw." And the light of thanks giving was reflected in the eyes of the mother. NOTE: I wrote this story from the memory of how it was told to my third grade by the late George F. Shelley at Greenwood School a number of years ago. I have fictionalized it, adding imagined conversations. But basically the story is true. Matthew Caldwell did build the first log cabin in American Fork. His wife was Brazilla Guymon and their three children were Thomas, Curtis Washington and Rachel Almira, Washburn Chipman was one of their herd boys. My description of making lumpy dick came from my own memory of how my mother made it when I was a child. --Wanda S.

That advice to 4-- horse club members is timely for any horse owners, says Scott Kendrick, assisting 4-- leader, Utah State University Extenion Service. Snowballing up in the horseshoes while the horse is out on pasture causes the horse discomfort and presents a potential hazard. McKendrick suggests pulling off the hor-seshoes and letting the horses go barefoot for the winter. Good hoof care now will mean better hooves in the spring." |
