They range anywhere from com pliments to good natured teasing to other peoples’ versions of the same type of events that happen to-me. For instance, last week a Lancaster Farming subscriber, as well as personal acquaintance of mine, told me a story about her Siamese housecat.

Therefore, no one would have been in the house to take proper care of the cat during the day. This fact, however, never daunted the daughter's spirits because one day she asked her mother, again, to have - a Siamese. “You know we can’t," her mother explained patiently, “because I’m Monday, February 28. The meeting will be held at the Grange hall in Lewisberry at 7:30 p.m. David M. Scott, master of Valley Grange, said the meeting will be open to all residents of the area and urged them to attend to hear “this pertinent discussion of current issues that are of importance to everyone.” A question and answer period will follow the presentations of the legislators, he said. Both Hopper and Geesey represent districts that comprise portions of York and Cumberland counties. The program was arranged by the legislative committee of Valley Grange, William K. Traver, chair man. teaching and there is no one during the day to take care of it.” Without batting an eyelash, the daughter came up with the solution to the whole problem.
