—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. October 13, 1962 4 From Where We Stand ... Loveable Monster In The Kitchen It was a great, warm, lovable mon- ster that dominated the kitchen, and we built our lives around it. It cooked our food, warmed our baths and shielded us as we bathed, it warmed our bodies and our hearts. And even though we were slaves to its insatiable appetite, we loved it. Sometimes in the hottest part of summer. Mother thought it was an unbearable nuisance, but in the winter we all ran to it fdr protection and hovered around it as snug as a nest of brown, baby rabbits. It reached nearly to the ceiling and had rich chocolate brown doors with light tan trim on the “warming closet”, and after a bout with a can of “black ing”, the lids and top shone like newly mmed coal. It was an ornate object in all re spects, but best of all was the name. Emblazoned across the door in scrolls and curlicues was the wonderful word ‘ Kalamazoo” enough to conjure up in farm boys, pictures of wonderful and wonderous far-away places that farm boys never dared dream of seeing. But it wasn’t all joy. The lovable tyrant made its harsh demands on us all A chill still runs up the spine at the thought of jumping out of a warm bed on a zero morning, struggling into icy cold clothes, and plunging down the stairs to kindle a fire m the cook stove. But we never called it a cook stove It was just “the stove” because during a good portion of the time, it ■was the only source of heat in the house But it was a cook stove, too, in every sense of the word. If all the bis cuits and cornbread, and pies and cakes that ever came out of that oven were heaped on one pile the aroma would titilate the nostrils of the seraphim. And if all the soup, and coffee and beans that ever simmered on that old stove were all placed in one huge pot, all the starry host of heaven couldn’t ask for more We griped, my brothers and I, at the daily chore of splitting stove-wood, but what a treat it was to rush in to the kitchen after chores were finished and kick off the boots The welcome warmth of that old stove oven always comfort ed the coldest or wettest toes. And what a delicious comfort to catch a quilt full of that warmth and carry it pell mell up the stairs, jump into a cold bed, and snuggle down among the covers without a worry in the world And it is with these memories that we recall this piece of furniture that was more than a piece of furniture. What will our children remember 25 years hence? Pity the poor adults of the next generation who have only a cold, spat less, white, impersonal, efficient electric iange.

That old Kalamazoo was a part of our life, and we didn’t just have it m the house; we lived with it, and loved It is gone now and rust has taken the once proud plates and doors, but in our memories, it stands there still new and untarnished. At least that’s how it looks from where we stand; As we sit through a great- many dead and boring speeches during the course of a year, we sometimes wonder why it is that although newspaper ac counts sometimes pick the speeches apart and use only parts of the subject matter, most of the time nothing at all is said about the delivery of the speech Very seldom, if ever, is a really critical appraisal of a speech contained in the newspaper account, but We got to wondering if perhaps this phace of re porting ought not be eveloped. Musicians, actors and other per formers have come to expect, if not al ways to relish, having their performan ces publicly dissected by critics. Up to now though, newspapers have been con tent to report faithfully what speakers say, leaving the way they said it pretty much between the lines. Suppose though, for the sake of ar gument, that* we did start assigning critics to public speeches, and suppose these critics, taking their very life in their hands, cam 6 right out and said the speaker hemmed and hawed and ram bled on to the point of tedium. Suppose they said the speech was poorly or ganized, the speaker poorly mfornied and talked much too long, and that in addition he had the distracting habit of jingling coins in his pocket, and the noise covered up his voice which had all the glamor and verve of a dial tone. Doubtless there would be several new cases of apoplexy and increase tre mendously the stack of letters to the editor But it might also scare a few speakers into taking a good searching look at themselves and at their over long, boring speeches. And the prospect of shorter speeches is one we contemplate with a great deal of relish. At least that’s how it looks from where we stand Lancaster Farming ★ ★ ★ Speaker Immunity ★ ★ ★ ★ Jack Owen, Editor Robert G. Campbell, Advertising Director Established November 4, 1955.
