Cl 2—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, February 23,1950 Ida’s Notebook Ida Risser Somehow, I’ve always thought of Winter tune as my vacation-at home, that is. Time to sort through old papers that have filled drawers to the hilt. Time to reread old letters and look at the children’s report cards from Elementary School plus many other things. Of course, I still have the regular household jobs of cooking, cleaning and washing. But there is no big garden needing my almost constant attention. So when I take the overalls off the line and upon examination I find that “Joy, Oh, Joy”, they do not need any patches this week, I consider that a small blessing. And speaking of blessings, I’m rather a pessimist and so lately I’ve been trying to emphasize the good things in my life. You see, when a cow dies I worry about it for days. When actually I should just be glad the other 55 are alive and kicking. Some of the blessings Loganville 4-H Club holds sign-up LOGANVILLE - Prospective 4-H Club members and parents met club leaders Monday, February 18,7:30 p.m. at the Springfield Township Building. The Monday meeting was an orientation meeting. The regular meeting was held at the Township Building the following evening, Tuesday, February 19, when registration was continued. Anyone interested in the club who did not attend this week’s meetings should contact Nona Brown by phoning 428-1698. Reported by Kevin Beck. which I’ve tried to con centrate on are things like being able to throw back a warm blanket and get up in the morning to face whatever the world has for me and to be glad my health allows me to work. Another thing to rejoice about is the letters that our children write and the occasional phone calls to let us know they are okay. Laving in a wonderful country like the United States of America is cer tainly not the least of our blessings. And now before February passes, I’d better get my seed order ready and try a few new varieties of vegetables and flowers beside the old stand-bys. They say the early bird gets the worm, well the early order also gets the discount. So I must face the fact that soon my days of partial leisure will again be days of hectic activity.
