In a little notebook which I kept
in 1933,1 find listed 12 cents for a
dozen eggs.
This price did not give me
enough money to pay for the feed
and certainly not enough for the
wrist watch which I wanted so
much in those days.
Another list for expenditures
showed five cents for a comb, 20
cents for gifts and 50 cents for a
gym blouse
Even though eggs may be three
times that price, I also find that a
gym blouse is now eight times
that earlier price.

My father tells me a man
received 40 cents a day for
stripping tobacco in 1900.
But then, a pair of wooden peg
shoes, which lasted a year, only
cost $1 95.
Whether the prices are up or
down, we seem to keep struggling
to make ends meet

Sometimes the unexpected can
be a boon.
A number of years ago we
ordered a pair of trousers for my
husband from a mail-order
catalog. When the package
finally arrived, it was a small
thin box which contained, to our
amazement, a fluorescent lamp
to be installed under a kitchen
cabinet. At that time, I didn’t
even have a cabinet.
But since the price for the two
items was identical and the serial
number had been transposed
accidentally, we decided to keep
the light and I got a cabinet to go
with it
He never did get those trousers

Have you noticed how pic
turesque the names of some
towns are?
While studying the map of
Schuylkill County, where we go
for coal for our furnace, I’ve
picked out a few names which
sound better than they look
Good Springs, Lost Creek,
Ravine, Forestville, Valley View,
Pine Grove, Fern Glen and Deer
Lake
However, the mountains are
pretty with a light covering of
snow
