54 —Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 9,1978 { ♦ ♦ Ida’s i Notebook Ida Risser The big week of deer hunting has just passed, as usual some hunters have been successful and many more have not been. It depends on what you call a successful trip. For me, it is a day when I’ve at least seen some deer wondering through the forest. This year I made twenty sandwiches the night before using turkey from Thanksgiving and some of our own bologna. You see, at five in the morning, I find making several thermos bottles of coffee and cocoa sufficient work before leaving for the Blue Mountains. My husband had to rise at three o’clock and milk our fifty cows much earber than usual in order to go hunting. We then had to drive our trusty Datsun through the seasons first snowstorm There were many cars and trucks unable to get up hills FREEDOM Tft \j *1 !•- K I JSSui MHBI MODEL 2-135 TRACTOR WITH CAB *12.95 | FARMERSVILLE EQUIPMENT | I INC.
