ready for the oven yet we had had no part in the preparatory work of the meat we had neither butchered made the sausage or cured the hams and i thought as i drove home how greatly living ctmdltlons ttsve clanged for nearly all arm eople a hundred years ago or even hft fatm folk prided themsetvee on itielr self auff l trtti on nearly evvry farm butchering w tart of ova winters wuik farm wmen naked their own bread churned their own butter carded their own wool later making it into homespun blank ets ami heavy clothing delivery of goods uaa almost unheard of except for the occasional travelling sales man yet with all he hard vtmk and 1m k of conveniences large families w ere raised and a tough breed of men were left to carry on the old tradltlom now in spite of modem conven iences around the home the majority of farm folk are almost as dependent upon outside help as anyone in the city we pay to have work done which wsi formerly regarded as part of the days work we pay to have our butchering done we store the meat in lockers instead of the old brine barrel we pay for processing and smoking in fart all wa do for ourselves ta cook tre meat and eat it and in regard to other provisions in many dlttruts bread groceries and butter are delivered right to our door and now something else hat crop ped up in our local paiwr i noticed the town council had given permls- aion to

the pendulum swlngldg too far the other wa b being leas selfreliant are we progressing or regressing that h the way might be a good subject for a debate certainly while the labor shortage must still be contended with the more onr can get done by outside help the belter and perhaps after the war when home f reeling unlit become a paetf many tortus home butchering will stage a comeback personally not being a descendant of pioneer farming stock i am well con tent to let someone else wrestle with pigs reads sausage making and all the fuss and must that goes with butchering but then i m a lazy
