wreaths of all sizes, strung on wire,
and she made garlands, strung on
ribbon.
One craft Evelyn made which
did not use apples was a ribbon
wreath, with small folds of ribbon
attached to a straw wreath with a
floral pick. Evelyn said it took 20
yards of ribbon per wreath, but
these can be done in colors other
than Christmas colors to fit any
decor. A mauve and silver wreath
was very distinctive in the dispaly.
She also found some tiny artifi-

Books, books and more books.
The world is full of them. Libraries
have hundreds of thousands of
them. They cover every subject
Some books are interesting and
some quite boring.
I really enjoy reading, when I’m
reading I can’t be baking a pump
kin pie or cleaning a room. I’m
constantly tom between reading
the newspaper and cooking some
thing like a big chicken and waffle
meal. The food usually wins.
Somehow I accumulate a stack of
unread magazines and papers
which eventually have to be dis
carded. And that usually happens
when we are expecting company
and a foot high pile of papers does
nothing good for the decor of the
livingroom.
Recently I was hunting for a par
ticular book containing records of
the Oregon Mill 1836 to 1844. I
needed it for an article that I was
writing: I finally found it on the
lower shelf of a table. Beside, the
book lay my Grandmother Land

found their first show an eye

were unsure of the going price and

book is “Geography combined
with History and Astronomy.”
The entire book is written in a
question and answer form. I was
surprised to see that Asia’s geogra
phy, lesson began with Adam and
Eve as the first people on the earth.
Then the book told of the great
flood and Noah’s three sons each
going to different countries. One
question was “What have the ido
laters in Japan, India and China
been taught?” The answer was,
“Christianity by the missionaries.”
And this was a geography book.
The water-cooled maps are also
interesting. One of North America
gives our present day Alaska the
name “Russian America.” There
are pictures of primitive whaling
methods and also ones showing
women working in a cotton mill in
Lowell, Massachusetts.

felt their efforts would be success
ful financially. Diane said the first
two days brought a lot of school
children, many bus loads of senior
citizens.
She explained, “In the evening
the crowd seems to include many
professional couples. There’s a
wide variety of people, and we’re
surprised at how many men are
here.”
Both enjoyed the opportunity to
visit other exhibitors. Evelyn said.

“There are a lot of nice crafts, a
real variety.” They were also
pleased that no one else seemed to
be offering exactly the same lands
of craft they offered.
They have no plans to make this
an annual event, but for Evelyn it
was a wonderful opportunity to
work with her daughter Diane on a
venture which was a lot of fun for
both of them. And, no matter what
die outcome, the memories will
last forever.
