Come To Carpenter’s Bk- I REMEMBER” BY THS 01D TIMERS From Mrs. Flora A. Penrod, Bradley,. Illinois: t was born in 1869, near Dongola in southern Illinois. I can remember when we didn’t have even a washboard to wash clothes. My father made a trough out of a log with rough places left in the bottom where we rubbed the clothes to clean them. And the mothers of each family went to a nearby pond or spring to wash their clothes because of the shortage of water in the homes. At night we sat by candlelight, before the kerosene lamps became in use in our community. I can remember the first car I ever saw. It sure did scare the horses and they didn’t quite know what to make of it. I remember the first canned fruit I ever saw. I was just a child and we had always dried our fruit, apples, peaches, com and pump kins. The canning of fruit was cer tainly a real improvement over our old methods. My father raised sweet potatoes by the wagon loads and hauled them off to Dongalo to be shipped by train to the larger cities. My childhood days were days of hard work, but we were a large, happy family of ten children, with two “extras” taken in because they had no home.

A large number of automobile owners use sponges to wash their cars, but most of them look upon sponges as a sea vegetable growth. They’re not. They are marine ani mal growths. There are five meth ods employed to fish for them. Along the coast of Tunis, the na tives wade for them. The Greeks and Syrians dive for them. In the Bahama ground the natives har poon or fish for them. Trawling or dredging for sponges is employed occasionally, but it is a very de structive method and hence is either limited or prohibited en tirely. Equipment for diving for sponges, with the use of mechan ical devices was introduced in 1866 and has since com$ into gen eral use. mm i m * .-.•J'.-.-.v.-.w.- Philately, commonly known as stamp collecting, is one of the youngest of the world’s hobbies, yet one of the most widely fol lowed.
