B4—Lancaster farming, Saturday, August 14,1982
It was the plastic bag that first
got the subject rolling.
Each summer about this time,
our major seed com supplier sends
out to each customer a thank-you
letter. Along with that note comes
a gift of a large, sturdy plastic bag,
decorated with brightly-colored
advertising for the firm.
Those bags have come in handy

“I used to do the same thing,” I
recalled. “Do you realize just how
long it’s been since I sprinkled a
basket of wash?”
Fact is, I can’t even remember
when I last ironed some item of
clothing, except maybe for
pressing the seams and hem in
some new garment hot off the
sewing machine.
We are raising a whole
generation of people who will
never know the joy of standing
• over a hot iron in mid-August.
r Funny, isn’t it, how an item that
one generation simply mild not
have existed without is laughable -
or maybe collectible - to the next
generation down the road.
How about butter churns, horse
hames and bog scrapers, all once
familiar items to routine rural
household living: Or cream
separators, shoe button hooks,
wool carders, flax breakers, or the
crank for starting the car?
And not only household items,
but customs and fads constantly
change with the marching of time.

heard of “rats?”
Not those dirty, ugly, four
legged, skinny-tailed, grain
thieving beasts that sneak around
the barn.
No, this is a kind of “rat” that
was once used in milady’s hair-do.
Grandma and I were chatting
about hair-dos a few Sundays ago,
as we tidied up'our Sunday School
classroom, when she mentioned
that she and her teenage friends
put “rats” in their hair.
It seems that young ladies in
Grandma’s day carefully saved
those hairs that remain behind on a
comb after they were finished
styling their tresses. She also says
that no one used brushes for their
hair then.)

those hairs bad been accumulated,
they were wrapped around a finger
into a loose roll. That roll of hair or
“rat” was then carefully tucked
into a section of tresses which
needed support, or fluffing, to look
stylish. Sort of an alternate to
teasing, I guess.
and, since using rats was con
sidered somewhat vain, they were
carefully concealed so that the
outside help for the haiivdo was not
obvious.
After careful consideration, I’ve
decided not to begin collecting
those loose strands of hair to be
saved toward the future when the
fad of “rats” inevitably returns.
My hair looks “ratty” enough
sometimes without any outside
help.
