Notebook
Ida Kisser
We all know that food is an
important part of life. However, I
sometimes think that it takes up
too much time. There is planting
time, weeding time, harvesting
time, preserving time, preparation
time and finally eating time.
Recently we were invited out for
an evening meal and then shortly
before we were to leave the phone
rang and our hostess told us that as
the other four guests were ill she
was cancelling the meal. Although,
she did ask me if I had anything in
the house to eat that night. I
quickly told her that I had enough
for two years without going to a
store. I really don’t know what she
thought of that statement.
I’m sure that some people visit
the grocery store much more often
than others. Some of us buy a few

items while others really stock up
on many items.
As spring approaches, I’ve even
had dreams in which I left the
month of March slip by and forgot
to plant my sugar peas. Gardening
is my vocation and my avocation
as I do enjoy this type of work.
Although, some summer nights
when I am still freezing vegetables
at 10 p.m., I begin to wonder about
my sanity. When beans and com
are ready to be harvested, then I
put in the necessary hours so that
they will be picked and preserved
when they are tender.
My mother either canned or
dried her beans and com. I’m glad
that today we have freezers as they
certainly help us to retain a much
fresher flavor. Her meat was
either canned or “fried down’’ and

Mid-Atlantic Workshop For Rural Disabled Set
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - In
1985, approximately 170,000 far
mers and farm workers suffered
disabling injuries on the job, ac
cording to the National Safety
Council. And, while injury rates in
other hazardous industries like
mining and construction have gone
down, farming remains as one of
the nation’s most dangerous oc
cupations.
So it’s not really a surprise to
find a higher percentage of
disabled persons living in rural
areas than in urban areas—l 2
percent vs. 10 percent—according
to a National Health Interview
Survey.
To address this reality, the third
annual Mid-Atlantic Workshop for
Disabled Individuals and Their
Families in Rural and Agricultural
Communities is scheduled March 6
and 7 in the Carroll County
put in crocks with lard poured on
top to seal it. In an unheated cellar
during the winter, the lard was so
very hard that one could barely
pry out the pieces of pork. And, the
big hams that hung in the attic
became quite dried out until they
were all used.
Food preparation is certainly
much easier today!

Agriculture Center at West
minster, Md.
As in past years, a main purpose
of the Friday and Saturday event is
to bring together rural families
with physically and mentally
disabled members for specialized
instruction and exchange of ideas.
Gary L. Smith, workshop
coordinator, hopes the annual
event will result in a self-help
group to maintain contact and
interaction among handicapped
persons in rural areas. Smith is
Extension safety specialist at the
University of Maryland in College
Park.
Smith says he would be pleased
if 100 persons turn out. He expects
about 10 commercial exhibitors
with products and services which
are useful to the handicapped.
Subject areas covered in the
general seminar sessions will
include lifestyle changes,
agricultural equipment
modifications, adapting the farm
home, specialized clothing, sub
stance abuse and coping with
disability.
