This Is the lime of year
when many a mother goes
about her work with a “lump
in her throat.” Whcalhcr it Is
a first child getting on the
school bus or the last child
going off to college. There is
always an adjustment to
make.
How well I remember my
first child skipping off to the
bus without even one back
ward glance to me as I stood
with tears in my eyes. And
then when that same child
went off to another state to
attend college, I thought I
couldn’t clean her room
because of the memories.
But somehow we live
through all the departures
and this week two left for
college on the same day
which was hard to take.
Guess we just better enjoy
the ones we have left at home
while we can.
Last week I had an op
portunity to see that I’m not

■lone, "in having « few
weeds In my garden,” by the
time September rolls
around. Many of the plots in
the Lancaster County Park
have been overrun by
grasses, red root, lambs
quarter and many other
weeds. A few were well
tended and I’m sure all the
gardeners learned a lot if
only how muck work a
garden takes. Why I almost
lost a basket of sweetcom is
my grassy patch!.
Labor Day weekend the
children made a freezer of
ice cream and someone get a
camera out to record the
event. I’m wondering how
this picture, taken on the
new cement porch with its
brick facing, will compare to
one taken years ago. As I
remember, Allen was tur
ning the freezer with a baby
on his knee and some of the
boards were broken and
unpainted. Times are better.
Lecturer Mrs. Joyce
Holloway opened the
program with represen
tatives John Rasmussen
from the Wakefield Am
bulance Association and
Neal Johnson from the
Wakefield Lions Club
speaking on the functions of
their organizations.
Two relays were played,
and Norman Wood took
home half a watermelon
after guessing its correct
weight.

LOW
WATTAGE
Not all electric water heaters are the same Some use more electricity than
others Why 7 Mainly because they come in different types and sizes.
Take an 80-gallon low-wattage tank for example Who would ever believe
that each year it can operate on less electricity than the smaller quick recovery
type most commonly used It’s true 1 And the better the tank is insulated and
the lower the temperature setting, the more economical it will be. What's
more, while it reheats water at a slower rate, its larger size can deliver all
the hot water your family will normally need
It's something to think about at replacement time. After all, because water
heaters serve the whole family, 24 hours a day all year round, they are big
energy users
Why are we telling you all this? To help hold electricity use down We don't
sell electric water heaters it's just that if you have one that needs replace
ment, an 80-gallon, low-wattage tank would be a good choice for you l
