Farm Women Society 10 heard
Mrs. Edward K. Knottier, Neff
sville, present a talk on Chinese
mothers at a meeting held in the
home of Mrs. Elam Buckwalter,
20 Princess Avenue. Miss
Frances LeFevre led devotions.
Mrs. Knettler, who spent
several years in China engaged in
missionary work, told of Chinese
marriage customs still held by
some of the upperclass families.
She pointed out that among these
families, it is customary for the
mothers to arrange an
engagement when the children
are very young. When the couple
becomes of age to marry, the
wedding is arranged. It is
believed that the couple will learn
to love each other after the
wedding on a kind of “marry
now-love later” arrangement.

This morning the Conestoga is
bank-full and very muddy. We
did not have rain yesterday but
someone else certainly did. It is
interesting to note that our creek
drains all of Northeastern
Lancaster County.
If you live along any of these
streams, the water eventually
flows past our meadow the
Muddy Creek, the Black Creek,
the Middle Creek, the Cocalico
Creek, Indian Run or Groff’s
Creek. Even the Conestoga Creek
drains land as far away as
Churchtown where it originates.
In regard to its ever-flowing
presence, I often think of this
quote; “Men may come and men
may go, but I go on forever.”

This past week my son forgot a
notebook which, he declared, just
had to be at school that day. So I
chased the bus the whole way to
Neffsville, five miles away.
Little did I realize what I was
letting myself in for. At the
Middle School, I was im
mediately surrounded by buses
and more buses unloading
literally hundreds of children all
about his size. I looked for a
maroon jacket but none belonged
to him.
So I hastily tucked my apron
under the car seat and walked
into the office, hoping all the
while that no one would notice the
holes in my stockings. As I
caught the eye of the principal, I
was saved from standing at the
end of a long line of pupils. He
assured me Philip would get the
notebook and true to his word, as
I approached my car, I heard his
name booming over the loud
speaker.
What happened was that I
actually got to school before he
did and his teacher had to tell him
he was wanted at the office.
How things have changed since
my sixth grade class took up one
row of one room in that old brick
school house. And if I’d forgotten
my notebook it simply would
have stayed at home all day while
I suffered.
