Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
October is the month with warm
sunny days ) and cool nights for
sleeping. There are bright colored
leaves on the trees. But, this year
when we traveled to the Blooms
burg Fair in Columbia County we
saw only a few orange and red
maple trees. Summer’s dry weath
er may have affected the coloration
of the foliage.
However, when we drove to the
camper in Snyder County, we saw
a lot more color than here in Lan
caster County. When our grandson
stayed there overnight, he came
back and told me that it was too
noisy to sleep. This I could not
understand until I spent a night
there. Exactly what insect lives in
the woods in Jack’s-Mountain I
don’t know but it is ve»y noisy.
As soon as the job of preserving
fruit and vegetables is finished.
other jobs appear like magic. The
houseplants in the garden must be
potted and some flower beds
weeded. The windows need to be
washed and some trees
transplanted.
The silos are filled and the Ag
Bag is filled. Now my husband has
turned his attention to the black
walnuts laying in the fields and on
the road. He has filled his pickup
truck bed with nuts to be hulled.
Not only the kernels are used but
also the hard shells are used as an
abrasive to clean masonry.
Tomorrow I’m to teach the les
son to our Bible Study group. We
were told that this year’s study
book was easier to understand than
last year’s. Bi t, I firyl it rather dif
ficult and so will liave to rely on
the members helping to discuss the
subject we’ve been assigned.

family business, where he stayed
until he retired. But flying
remained;a big part of the family’s
life. In fact, an airstrip on their
farm continues to be used by the
business, for private transit, and as
a practicing grounds for student
pilots. |
About the same time that Eileen
joined Flying Farmers in 1947, she
also joined Farm Women Group 8
of Lebanon. She was active in the
organization fix' 30 years. By this
time the youngest of eight children
was in high school. Eileen took a
job as an operating room aide at
Hershey Medical Center. Her
working schedule conflicted with
Farm Women meetings and her
attendance became sporadic until
18 years ago, when she again
became an active member.
It wasn’t long before Eileen was
president of her society and held
offices on the county level Last
week, she was installed as the pres
ident of the Lebanon County Soci
ety, which has 21 societies in it
“I think its important that we
treat our ciders the charter
members of Farm Women —with
respect,” Eileen said.
She enjoys the friendships she
developed over the years with
many of the members.
“As a board member, I get to the
other societies in the county. It’s a
good way to really leant to know
others,” Eileen said.
Eileen and her husband Mark
raised eight children whose lives
were centered around friendships
with families associated with both
organizations.
Four of the Kellers children own
an airplane. Although Mark is no
longer allowed to fly because of a
heart problem, the couple remain
faithful members of the Flying
Farmers and of the Short Wing
Pipers.
