From Veronica Oshman, Fair- mount, N.D.: I remember living in the town of Hankinson, North Dakota until I was 10% years old. Then we moved to Fairmount, North Dakota, just 15 miles away. I visit Hankinson frequently, but I must say that my native city has changed very little, except that it has become more beautiful and progressive than in the early era. One no longer hears German spoken in the stores, nor on the streets. It is not spoken by any of the young people. There are no longer hitching posts along Main Street, and the lamplighter, too, is gone, but the character of the town remains. I remember keeping a cow in town, but a meadow was just across the street from our house, and the "country" began just 2 blocks away. My sister and I would clean lamp chimneys and trim the wicks. Every Saturday we bathed in a tin tub in the kitchen - two would use the same water. It was then and it is now a proud town. During World War I, we watched our soldiers marching down Main Street. We were all so sad when they left for France. •- (S«*4 cantrihvttont M this ulraw M T1w OM Thw, Ira (N, hmMmt, Ky. 40401.) Almost A Century!
