Diagonal weave fabrics have returned to the fashion spotlight.

Not so many years ago, we had two pre-teen boys who spied a baby ground hog in the middle of the meadow. In their minds, there was only one thing to do, and that was to catch it. They chased it up the nearest tree. Now what was the next thing to do? Why, climb that tree, of course. When the small animal was held up side down by his tail, he did not react as expected. An old, heavy animal might not have been able to swing itself up and bite the hand that held it, but this on# could, and did. When I took ofj/6 look at that bloody hand,! knew the doctor would have to stitch it. I'm sore the boy with the bandaged hand was a bit wiser as he sat down to eat supper that night. During the winter months our kitchen turns into a bakery. Judy keeps us supplied with a wide variety of cookies and breads.

Al ■W| ' V g Ida Risser Due to the price of boxed breakfast cereals, I often bake something for our morning meal. Among the items my family finds on the table are com bread, bran gems, muffins or biscuits. Also considered nutritious and money saving are tapioca, egg custard, vanilla or chocolate pudding and graham cracker pudding. Each one uses a quart of milk plus several eggs. There is one other group of food which 1 use to fill them up in the morning and that is fruit from the freezer. We choose from strawberries, applesauce, sliced peaches, rasberries or wineberries. All of the berries are picked on our farm and therefore we think they taste better. Old sayings surely prove themselves to be true around here.
