Last month we took a short trip
through the Pocono Mountains
and into New York state. On our
way to Lake Wallenpaupack we
traveled by woods with beautiful
pink laurel, woods that smelled
fresh from a recent shower;
woods with Guernsey-colored
deer grazing at the edge; and
woods with rippling streams,
green fern banks and chipmunks
who hid under huge rocks.
We were satisfied to simply
watch the water-skiers on the
lake and admire the different
sizes of sailboats that glide by.
However, we did take a cruise at
sunset.
The following day we explored
Ice Cave Mountain near EUen
ville, N Y. The caverns and
nature trails contain unusual
rocks and minerals. The top of
the mountain has a unique lake
whose source of water is
unknown. We were lucky enough
to have fine weather which added
to our enjoyment.
XXX
We live in a rather isolated spot
and therefore don’t find it
necessary to pull the shades at
night. Although, sometimes I’d
find green or yellow eyes staring
in the wmdow at me. They
belonged to kittens who climbed
the arborvitae trees and walked

From now on they won’t be able
to do this as my son cut them
down. You see, we expected them
to grow only a few feet when we
planted them, but instead they
became huge and cut off the view
of the meadow.

As I grab my favorite hoe on
the way to replanting my garden,
due to the flood, I see rows of
overalls on the backporch line.
Each year the legs get longer
until by this time I’m not sure
which pair belongs to which boy
or girl.
They say you can tell the kind
of job a person does by the pat
ches on the pants. The ones I
hang up are patched front and
back and only tell me they are
well-worn.
Largest Planet
Jupiter is the largest planet
in our solar system, with an
equatorial diameter of 88,-
000 miles. Its rotational
speed is amazing as it car
ries a point on its equator
along at a speed of 22,000
miles an hour, as compared
with 1,000 miles an hour for
a point on the earth’s equa
tor.

Clothes Selection for
the Over-Weight
Flared skirts, a revived fashion
this season, is a good choice for
heavy-set women. Mrs. Ruth Ann
Wilson, Extension clothing
specialist at Pennsylvania State
University, explains that this
style hides the hip and thigh area.
She advises that overweight
women look for clothing with a
center front seam or some sort of
trim down the center front.
Button-up-the-front is good, too.
All these have an up-and-down
look which makes you look
slimmer. Avoid skirts with full
gathers, horizontal lines, and
contrasting outfits.
