After battling mosquitoes all summer, the honeybees have taken over. One of those little devils stung me last week and I didn't call it honey. OLD SAYINGS: When telling somebody off-- "Put that in your pipe and smoke it". Or -- "If the hat fits, put it on". Some added, "And wear it". For many years, when a friend or er died, I couldn't resist writing a paragraph or two of memories. Then came a thought that I was competing with the obituary column. One week three people died, all of whom I would have likeat© remember in this column. Three in one week. That did it! Old Timers hold a special place in my heart so I could have mentioned Louie Block. He was a native of McHenry, leaving this earth at the age of 80 years. Louis was the last of the Block family, good and solid citizens of our community. A real outdoor man, Louie found TIRED OF DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT?

The ranks of our real Old Timers are thinning. e So long, Louie, and Ijappy hunting up tiijare. f Betty Gende read thissfiller in the last issued of last week in the Plain- dealer: "Before January and February were introduced into the calendar, the Roman year had only ten months." Betty is all for the idea of doing away with those cold, hard months. Thinking of chilly weather -- there is nothing like a sweater to keep you warm and snug. Lee Cooney had a birthday last Friday and Carol took him out to dinner. I think she did, Lee! Or did she forget her purse like a girl I know? I knew Barb Weber could drive a golf cart, but opened my eyes when she and Warren wheeled into our driveway on nifty looking mo^Jjr- cycles. The Webers brought a big bag full of vegetables from their garden. Why should I plant a garden when friends keep us in good supply? I never hinted. Or, did I? If you see Bertha Jager driving through town, you will see her dog Susie with her. A little bird told me that Susie will celebrate her 18th birthday in Oc­ tober. By human standards, the calculator says that is 126 years. Happy birthday! ~*it was while talking with a group of younger people when the question arose: "Is this recession,!much worse than the depression of the thirties?" Those people were not born until long, long after the depression so they had no first hand knowledge of what it was. like. The depression was tough. Tougher. You couldn't buy a job and had no unemployment insurance, food stamps or public aid. Not so many women were em­ ployed in those days. The men were the breadwinners and had to do some real scratching to put food on the table. * # -- Many men simply hit the road in search of a place to earn a dollar. The standard of living was not as high as seen in more recent years. Some families moved out to the country where they could have a garden and a few chickens. Men who could hunt game and hook fish could put food on the table. Men who found jobs were glad to get 25 or 35 cents an hour. Some worked for a dollar a day. In those days, my father was the entire police force in McHenry. He had as many as thirty men come to the city hall for shelter at night. In cold weather, the meh spread newspapers on the cement floor to keep the frost away. : > _ n * . ' With a cellar full of vegetables, my mother often cooked up a big pot of stew to send down to the men before they took off in further search of work or help of any kind. My ifather had converted our woodshed into a room for w&Sfejng clothes, a small stove taking the cHfll out. As local chairman of the Red Cross, my mother appealed for clothing and stacked such items as long underwear on shelves in the converted woodshed. Sometimes a well-educated man, who didn't belong on the road, would insist on chopping kindling or doing some small task rather than accept charity. I remember my mother putting a wash tub in the shed and setting out some clean clothes for men who couldn't stand their condition. Yes. Depression was tough. Much tougher!
