At that time we their parents did when they had four small children. They were the same age as the grand were from three to 11 years of children are now. The older boys ■age, loaded manure by hand into a , spreader and they helped to bale hay. The younger ones brought the cows up from the meadow. At that time we had a beach and a meadow that attracted people over the weekends. They came to swim, fish, picnic, and go boating.

Our boys sold fishing worms that they gathered when we plowed the field. Even then I was taking the boys to Little League baseball and the oldest girl to violin lessons in Lancaster. They worked together to wash the 4-H calves and to build a playhouse under a nearby shed. The boys fed com to the pigs and the girls baked cakes. At that time my husband made many freezers of ice cream for social events. Every year we held a Square Dance in our bam in May and the children helped to clean and sweep it. The boys that got my letters live in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, and of Richmond, Virginia. Their life is full I’m sure but it is a far cry from the life on a dairy farm 40 years ago. There is no telling how different their grandchildrens’ lives will be 40 years from now. We can always hope it will be produc tive. f. v >fc, V,
