NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1951 + |1.50 PER YEAR BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Our country store would get in a shipment of cloth a time or two a year. Most mothers would go there, pick out a bolt that she liked, and buy it all. Then she would make garments for all the family from it. Shirts for the men and boys and dresses for the girls and women. Then, for the next year or more, the family was attired in a sort of uniform. This had its advantages. Waste in remnants w-as small, and when patching time came, we only had to match one pattern. Thus we can see, economy was the watch word in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork. For living was hard. At the old one-teacher school away back in the woods from our place, I can well remember see ing all the children of a family wearing garments from the same cloth. And our school clothes too occupied a special category. Last week I told you of our “Sunday clothes.” They were strictly for church, weddings, par ticular visiting, and the like. They were often store bought, or made at home from a little better ma terial. Then the school clothes came next. They were always made at home, even to our pants and coats of heavy jeans. If there was work to do when we got home from school, we pull ed our school outfit off and don ned overalls, our everyday work clothes. In them we >vere most comfortable. Now from these three sorts of clothng, don’t get the idea we had a lot of ’em. One Sunday out fit, including shoes, was all. Two school outfits, washed on alter nate weeks. And several changes of older patched-up work clothes that had likely once occupied the upper categories. That made up our outfits in the Stone Hills when we were kids. State B & L Located In S. S.
