Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Ris&er
Our daughter has always
been an animal lover. Her
memory goes way back and
includes the names of all of
our cats for the past decade
or more.
I’m content to remember
Smokey, the good mother
cat, who always sat on the
kitchen window and got the
panes dirty. Or, Rainbow,
whose colors matched her
name, and who we found
dead in her tracks in the
snow back of the barn one
morning many years ago.
But not Cindy, she even
remembers the relationship
between the present cats and
those old-timers. She’ll say,
“That one is Smokey’s
granddaughter of “He’s
Rainbow’s son.”
Well, this summer she and
a girlfriend took a bicycle
ride one Sunday evening.
Philip had taken me for a
nice ride on the Conestoga in
our alumnium row boat and
when we returned the girls
had also come home.
They said something new
was up in the bam and
finally admitted that they
had brought home two tiny
black and white kittens that

they found on the road in the
middle of nowhere.
Yes, there still are a few
places like that around here.
Soon the kittens were
moved to the back porch as
heavy tractors and wagons
were not conducive to their
safety. Even now we put
them in a box at night to
protect them from the big
cats. Pepper and Sparky are
such a joy to watch as they
tumble and play in my
purple lilies or as they purr
on our laps.
The other morning one
was stranded at the top of a
very large pine tree and it
took a lot of coaxing to get it
down low enough to jump on
the porch roof.
The kind of animals on
Lancaster County farms has
changed somewhat over the
years. My Grandmother had
peacocks on her home farm
and we bad guineas when I
was a child but now these are
seldom seen. The guineas
were noisy and acted as our
watchdogs.
The farm that 1 live on now
had turkeys running wild in
the woods and goats and
sheep in the meadow when I

Program for
handicapped seeks
QUARRYVILLE - The
Silver Shoes 4-H dub needs
volunteers to help them
carry out their program of
assisting handicapped
persons in learning to ride.
The club currently meets
two evenings per week with
an average of 12 riding
members.
Ages of members ranges
from 4-27 in a special
arrangement which allows
any interested handicapped
person to participate. Ac
cording to Leader Carol
Henkel, Quarryville, the
club currently needs people
to lead horses and people to
serve as “sidewalkers” who
act as aides to the young
people in their riding
program.
The group meets at Hidden
Acres, located four miles
south of Quarryville, and
some limited transportation
is available through Easter
Seals which transports some
of the nders from Lancaster.
Carpools are also arranged
to make it easier for
volunteers to travel there.
Mrs. Henkel said volunteers
can work on a weekly basis
or monthly basis as their
tune permits.
She pointed out that three
persons are needed per
was a youngster. But now we
specialize and our barns are
full of cows, heifers and
calves.
Haven’t we lost something
somewhere?

sidewalkers. She noted that
riding is done outside until
cold weather sets in, then the
program is continued inside
with therapeutic exercises
and other teaching sessions
which help the participants

a horse and parts of a horse.
Anyone who could
volunteer to help in this
project is asked to call Mrs.
