It seems as though fall
should be a slow-down
season but around here there
is always something to do.
Now that I’ve potted some
sixty flowers they must be
watered regularly.
The curtains need to be
laundered, tiny spiders
chased out of tiny crevices
and windows must be
washed. There is more
spearmint tea to be dried
and more parsley to freeze.
And should I finish all
these jobs, there is an empty
cookie jar to fill and a
dessert to be prepared for
the evening meal. By the end
of the day I’m happy to sit
down with the newspaper
before bedtime.
Recently we had a piece of
land, which we farm sur
veyed, and it proved to be
quite a job.-No longer could
anyone find the stones which
marked the comers over
fifty years ago. Even the

little hichory tree was gone
and the “big white oak” and
the “red oak” were im
possible to locate.
When the pins were finally
placed we discovered that a
neighbor had planted two or
three rows of corn on our
land. We sat around the
supper table and joked about
his sharing his crop. We
thought it would be a good
idea if we could have the top
half of each stalk. But maybe
that wouldn’t be fair.
You can’t go back! Once
you have flown cross-county
in an airplane your ideas
change upon seeing a large
silvery plane with a white jet
stream following it.
No longer is it just a thing
of beauty but it becomes, in
your mind, a setting for a
hundred people who are
reading, eating, listening to
the intercom or using the
bathroom. For everything
we gain-we lost something.

people working under her. She explained that Amway has
car care, personal and cleaning products. She said she
enjoys the work because she sets her own pace, and it
“gives me a chance to visit with friends. I like to see
people.”

She calls the company “family oriented** and said that’s
why she feels she can work with them successfully. She
added that they are now selling a line of natural vitamins
and said, “I really believe that you are what you eat and
you are what you live.*’
Although there’s not a lot of spare time, Mrs. Hite says,
“I love to sew - I would sooner sew than eat! ” One of the
things she enjoys doing when traveling is to buy fabrics
instead of other souvenirs, then die has clothing
remembrances of each of the places she has visited. She
said, “I like to keep my clothes basic and simple. I have
always sewn - on the farm there are always rips and
tears.”
She used to be a 4-H leader, teaching sewing naturally.
All of the Hitz children were also 4-H members.
Mrs. Hitz has worked closely with her husband in the
remodeling and changing of their stone farm home which
dates from 1865. They have added an office and family
room, one feature of which is a lovely stone fireplace
made from stones gathered on the farm. She said they
often host family gatherings since their home is so
spacious.
Autumn is sure to be busy for Mrs. Hitz. There are
numerous Farm Women conventions, and she is chairman
of the fashion part of the state convention which is held
annually during Farm Show week. This year they will
feature long dresses in their fashion show.
She is also looking forward to traveling to Milwaukee
Wisconsin for the first national get-together of Farm
Women. She had almost made plans to fly to Milwaukee
with a group from a neighboring county when her husbapd
gave her the “first shock of our married life,” according
to Mrs. Hitz. He said die could go but die would be going
against his wishes. Since he likes to travel too, he was
disappointed at the prospect at being left behind. They
have since worked out an arrangement whereby they
expect to be driving together to the convention.
Getting the most out of life is a desirable goal, and each
must find his own way to fulfillment. Mrs. Hitz makes it
evident through her work and her optimistic outlook that
she truly means it when she says, “I enjoy life.”
