From Mrs. Nellie Kolhoff, Bead
ing, Michigan: I remember the
carpets made from rags my moth
er tore into one and one-half Inch
wide strips, sewed together by
hand and took to the weaver. When
the carpet was ready to lay, my
father brought from the barn a
big roped bundle of coarse straw
and spread it thickly on the floor.
When they had securely tacked one
side and one end of the carpet,
father donned his rubber bopts
and “scuffed* ’ the carpet to stretch
it while mother tacked it when the
carpet would reach to the “mop-
board.” They say “baseboard’*
now.
Even with use ot the old carpet
stretcher, father's “scuffing”
seemed necessary. I'm 74 years
young, and have the old spinning
wheel my mother used when she
spun the yarn she used to knit
our socks and stockings.
I walked three miles to a small
village school, ate cold dinner
which the youth at today would
consider practically prohibitive.
“Old timers, let* ■ enjoy our
wallow through the white drifts
on memory's land in our wintry
yesteryears."

From Bobo Teadno, San Antonio,
Texas: I remember the Snuffy
Smith country where I was born
... if we had a good squirrel dog
around us we had plenty to eat. . .
we always had corn in the crib;
fodder in the barn and hickory
smoked ham, bacon and sausage
hanging in the smokehouse. We
had plenty of milk, butter, hen
eggs, guinea eggs, duck eggs,
goose eggs and turkey eggs.

CORPORAL COUNTS TO
BE DISCHARGED SOON
Cpl. Henry Counts, who has
been on duty in Japan for the past
six months, arrived in California
on December 23rd and in New
berry Monday night, December 27
for fifteen days visit with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Olin Counts
on Boundary street extension. He
will report to Fort Jackson on
January 10th where he expects
to receive his discharge from the
army about the 15th after serving
21months.
After receiving his discharge, he
plans to return to school.
A LOT of folks won’t agree, but
I suggest January 1 be moved
up to become the day after Christ-
n\as. My reasons are selfish, but
I still think it is a good idea.
Most working people hardly
have time to get rested from
Christmas \vhen along comes New
Year’s and they get tired all over
again.
And, think of the average house
wife who saves all the food left
over from the Christmas feast to
supplement the hog jowls' and
black-eyed peas served on Jan
uary I. In the interim, she faces
cold turkey every time she opens
the refrigerator door.
Personally, if I can get through
to January 2 without giving in to
the temptation to gobbla at some
time or other, I think I’m starting
out a good year, one full of de
termination and sure success.
Getting back on the track, tho,
let’s assume there were' no lull
between Christmas and New Year.
Department stores could hold their
pre-inventory clearances during
the holiday shopping season, when
folks need all the bargains they
can get. The advantages are end
less. But, no use to pursue the idea
further, I guess, since the wife
(who is the practical type) won’t
let me forget there are some ex
tra days to worry about. I can’t
convince her that you could give
them all to February without any
one ever suspecting a thing.
And I think February can use
them. That phrase, “All but Feb
ruary, which has only . . j." has
always made me feel sorry for
poor little February.
HOME ON LEAVE
Seaman Rudolph Ferguson, a
member of the crew of the USS
Rushmore, LSB 14 arrived in New
berry last week to spend eleven
days leave with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Ferguson on Kinard
street. The home port for UiS&
Rushmore is Norfolk, Va. At pre
sent, it is docked atNewport News,
Va., where Seaman Ferguson will
report after the termination of his
leave.

Rev. Robert H. Harper t
The Living God.
Lesson for January 9: Psalms 103:
8-13; Isaiah 40: 25-29; Matthew 6: 9b;
John 4: 23-24; 10; 30.
Golden Text: John 4: 24.
The Almighty is of great mercy.
Though he “plants his footsteps
in the sea and rides upon the
storm,” at other times his voice
sinks into the soul with the touch
of an infinite calm." Like as .a fa
ther pitieth his children, so th«
Lord Pitieth those who need him
and trust him.
God is the great Creator who
made all things "as far gs the
universe spreads its flaming wall,”
yet he marks the sparrow's fall
and has a yearning for mankind
everywhere. So we rejoice that the
Almighty is the God of almighty
love and that we may Ipok heaven
ward and say, "Our Father."' He
numbers the very hairs of otu
heads while he decks the lUlies
of the, valley more richly than
Solomon ip all his purple-and-gokl
en splendor. What memories of
their tender years may come to
• children of good parents who are
able to call God their heavenly
Father 1
But the hour cometh, Jesus told
the woman of Samaria, when ev
erywhere men would worship God
in spirit and in truth, lifting up
their hearts and their voices to
find help in every time of need.
And eVery man can lift his soul
unto God without the aid of a
mediatory priesthood, through
Jesus Christ, and because he has
made a full and perfect sacrifice
lor the sins of all mankind. Be
cause God has revealed himself
unto men through Christ, we can
come to him through Christ, and
find all our soul’s needs supplied.

M Y AUNT LYDIA has always
been uncanny In her match
making, and she can point to a
long list of successful marriages
as a result of her conniving.
I had always rebelled against
what 1 called, her meddling, and
all she had to do was mention
somebody** atm. brother or neph
ew, and L not only, would have
nothing to do with an arranged
meeting, but 1 would get angry
and tell her she was interferring
too much In my affairs, and please
to leave me alone. Because I had
< broken my engagement to Clyde
and was now twenty-five was no
reason for Aunt Lydia to think
that I was going to devote my life
to my 'career
ft wasn't until David and 1 had
been married for six months that
I learned our meeting had been
arranged by Aunt Lydia
"But.” 1 spluttered. "David and
I met going through a revolving
door." Aunt iLydia laughed end
"I had to plait tt that way. You
would never cooperate with me."
I was entry and I not only told
Aunt Lydia so, I told David.
"Are you sorry?” He asked me.
“Well, no." 1 said. “How could
I be when I love you so much, and
you’re all I'll eVer want."
"Then why be angry?'
nderhani
"It seems so underhanded, sort
ot" I said. "It Just doesn’t seem
tight.”
"To bring happiness to two peo
ple?" he sajkL
"Oh David." I answered. For he
was right. 1 wouldn't trade David
for anything or anybody in the
world. ’ 'K,
It was later, as we were hav
tag dinner that the thought came
to me. Why not arrange for Aunt
Lydia to meet some one? Aunt
Lydia was about forty-five and had
been a widow for about five years.
She f&ust be e lonely woman. Per
haps that was why she tried to
make other people happy.
"David.” I said.' "there to no
reason for Aunt Lydia to be living
alone.”
■"But,” be said. ”you hav* al
ways objected to such things.”
"I’ve got it.” I said, not listen
ing to him. "your bo|jp." David
was surprised.
“Mr. Martens?"
“Why not?” 1 said, rushing
ahead with foJ plans. “Couldn't
you forget something some night,
and I’ll Invite Aunt Lydia to din
ner, and then you can sprain your
antria or something and Mr. Mar
tens will have to stop here. “Ob
David." I said, and I could afe
ready hear the words pronounci
Mr. Martens and Aunt Lydia
and wife.
"Take It easy, darling.’* Dai
said, but I went to the phone a
invited Aunt Lydia to come 1
dinner.
Mr. Martens 'came tn and Dai
sat there with his ankle in a
bandage. I made the ^introdi
casually even though my heart
fluttering and I thought any i.
ute David would get up and prat
across the room, even though'
had practiced hobbling for r*
some time.
When I said I had used cold •
presses. Aunt Lydia threw
hands' up in horror and said, po*
it should have been hot. Mr. Mar
tens 'agreed with her and the
went on from one subject to
other, always to perfect accoi
A few hours later I said
David simply had to get some
and I helped him from the room.
The two did not notice us. ~ *
hugged him in my elation
David winked.
“You’ve done It darling"
said.
Some day 1 shall tell Aunt Lc
Martens that I arranged for
last laugh.
