We learned tonight of the passing of our brother-in-law, Jack Keenan, of Pompano Beach, Fla. Jack entered Holy Cross hospital in Fort Lauderdale last week, where he underwent surgery on Thursday. Both of his children, Tom of New Jersy, and Mrs. Betty Dowe of Lincoln flew to Florida to be with their mother, Ollie, in her time of need. As of this writing, funeral arrangements are incomplete. Crawl Space JUNE 14, 1968- PLAINDEAIERLow in Cost SHOP |[k! McHINRY You can save about $1 a square foot of excavated area by building your new home on crawl space rather than on a concrete slab. That was one finding in the latest of numerous cost studies made in recent years by a leading national home, and garden magazine. Crawl - space construction, it was determined, could save $1500 or more over a slab system for a 1500-square-foot single story house. The crawl-space system puts a home's first floor 30 inches above ground. Its wood - joist floors provide a resilient walking surface which can receive virtually any type of finished flooring. In a crawl-space house, floors should be insulated well, and an effective vapor barrier should always be installed over the earth. Approved barriers include polyethylene plastic and 55-pound roll roofing paper. They should be installed even if the crawl space is to be covered with a concrete apron and before concrete is poured.

Embry, Radcliff, Kentucky: I find myself remembering so many things about my childhood I sometimes get homesick. As a very small child, I remember walking as far as two miles to a one - room schoolhouse, which had one teacher. The roads were covered with curly ice, known as "rabbit ice." Oh, the good aroma that came when I opened my "dinner bucket. " Fried potatoes and biscuits, peanut butter and crackers. I remember making sorghum molasses. How cold the mornings were, stripping the cane as the old mule went round and round pulling the mill that squeezed out the juice from the cane. But the afternoons were warm and dry, with grasshoppers jumping over our bare feet and sapping foam at the pan where the syrup was being cooked. I remember making hominy from Hickory King corn, using lye made from wood ashes. And churning butter, drying apples and picking seed from cotton at night. Sitting around a wood stove parching corn. Courting was done walking to and from church.and at home on Sunday afternoons. A pie and ice cream supper at the schoolhouse was an event to remember. Another exciting event was when some man came to the schoolhouse with a Punch & Judy act. (Send contributions to this column to The Old Box 639, FronMori, Kenntuchy 4060.)
