Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
On a recent rainy Sunday af
ternoon, I decided to visit some
nearby gift and craft shops in the
village of Oregon near my home.
Some are boused in an old barn and
another in the lower flow of a stone
mill.
The people who built these
structures certainly could never
have envisioned them being used
Cor such purposes. The village was
settled by the Bear family in the
early 1700’s. Eventually it became
a bustling business place with a
hotel, store, barber shop,
wheelwright shop, shoemaker,
blacksmith, two butcher shops,

eluding those when I walked
through it on my way to school, it
was simply a quiet village of about
30 houses. A main road bypassed
the town as roads are wont to do
nowadays.
Now, with the current interest in
crafts, the place has come alive
again. Many people are able to
start their own businesses “on a
shoe string” when they use their
natural skills to create a product.
One shop specializes in
kaleidoscopes of all sizes, another
in doll houses and their furnishings
and still another in toleware.
Other gift shops carry quilted
items, punched tinware, jewelry,
toys, wood carvings and all kinds
of needlework. I would suppose
that this is a busy season for these -

Introducing MECHANICAL'S NEW FAST-EASY
TO USE-ECONOMY MULCH LAYER
Model 85
This all new Mulch Layer is designed for laying 3’ or 4’ plastic.
It's the easiest Mulch Layer to use on the market. Just feed the
mulch under the large roller then simply adjust the covering
scrapers. That’s it. The Model 85 lays the plastic firm and tight
on a leveled and rolled planting surface. The best news is it’s
lower price.
