Ida’s Notebook
It surely does get quiet around here dur
ing the day now that the children are back in
school.
Of course, there is the drone of the tractor
as the big silo is filled for the first time. And
I do rattle a few kettles and pans as I can the
bountiful harvest from my garden.
So the hours pass quickly and soon it is
time to meet the three buses that take each
child to a different schoo}.
With three buses rfiorning and afternoon
for the next three years, I figure there will be
over 3,200 deadlines to meet what a
prospect.
Last week we tried a recipe for soft
pretzels. Our problem was that they were too
light in color.
This enterprise inspired us to
visit that historic town of Lititz
and really see how pretzels are
made. We found Lewis Sturgis
very obliging as he explained
that they should be dipped in
straw water and potash. He is
89 years old and the last of 14
children of Julius Sturgis who
founded America’s oldest pretzel
bakery in 1861.
led by Mrs. C. R. Frey.
Plans were made for the
Society to visit and entertain
patients at the Harrisburg State
Hospital. In other business, the
group voted approval of a
refreshment stand to be operated
by the Society at the Dale Berrier

By Ida Bister
My .children enjoyed the story
of the folded arms of children
in prayer being the inspiration
for the shape of the pretzel.
Watching a machine .twist 50
pretzels per minute intrigued us
and showed the significance of
machinery in modern production
methods.
For the past several weeks.
I’ve had a new sight to watch on
the Conestoga Our son Ken
neth gave me six geese after I
told him the enjoyment I got
from seeing the neighbor’s
ducks paddle around They are
a beautiful sight and a much
appreciated gift.
Now, if only they don’t decide
to roost every night on my
cement walk at the fiont porch
