Things change so gradually that
we hardly realize the difference
between now and our childhood
unless we really think about it
On a Sunday long ago our
breakfast could not be prepared
until we lit the coal stove by using
com cobs dipped in kerosene and
then added wood. We often had
salted herring for Sunday break
fast as they were part of our year’s
supply bought in Northeast, Mary
land on Ascension Day.
Then we wound our watches in
the morning and we had no ring
ing telephones to answer. Even
cars had differcnct names such as
Hudson, Studebaker, Pierce-Ar
row, and Wiilys-Knight. My fa
ther drove an Overland with run
ning boards, a foot rest in front of
the back seat, and a blanket bar.
When it rained, we got wet unless
he had the celluloid curtains in
place.
Even our clothes were different.

August 13. Throughout the three
days, the public is invited to enjoy
outdoor livestock displays and
competitions, indoor exhibits of
Ida Risser
held up with garters fastened to a
bodice. One year I had to wear
boy’s high-topped shoes to school
and I was embarrassed. My
mother had some of her Sunday
dresses made over for me to wear
to school.
Remember those candy cigar
ettes with one end red as though it
were lit. And, doctors who made
house calls when the children
were sick. Our letters carried
threc-cent stamps and telegrams
had words pasted on strips on the
paper.
Now you seldom need an ice
pick or see a milk bottle made to
collect cream on the top. Few
swings are hung on front porches
and children play in parks instead
of big front yards.
One thing that hasn’t changed is
the joy that children get in catch
ing fireflies at nighttime. Our
grandchildren, who visited us re
cently, ask for a jar to put them in
as they have very few of these in
sects near their home in Georgia.

detailed diagrams on how to prune
at different seasons. Ask for these
free handouts, but here arc a few
tips.
Summer pruning, generally in
July, is the best time to prune the
oldest canes while leaving approx
imately the same amount of new
canes to take their place.
The rule of thumb for pruning
weak, diseased or small plants,
prune the cane down from the
spent flower to the first set of
leaves (usually three leaflets). On
strong plants, prune the rose down
to the first set of five leaflets where
the stem is at least the size of a
pencil.
Careful pruning must be main
tained, but be careful because a
rose bush that is severely pruned
will revert to its original state

Remove injured or thin stems.
Pruning supplies needed:
• pruning shears

Do not use anvil type shears as it
