Grandma Sez . . . How welcome th' sound o' th' word, "Spring," wi' all it implies. God's gift o' Mother Nature's handiworks puts a new zest in th' hearts o' folks who appreciate th' blessings bestowed. Th' mind o' those, wi' th' gardenin' instinct, turns t' th' thought o' plans f'r seeds an' seedlin's. Some o' us, may depend more on th' produce, as time progresses, an' as far as this granny's concerned, there hain't a thing, in th' stores, t' com­ pare wi' th' freshly picked lovelies from one's own little spot. It's seventy years ago, an' more, since a little girl had her first taste o' th' farm, in Ohio, where me father's family grew vegetables, milked th' cows, made butter, an' that good but­ termilk like none we may get in this modern time. Th' long tables set up in th' back lot, where th' apple trees grew, were loaded wi' th' little boxes filled wi' new peas, an' strawberries, followed by each an' every goodie they grew, an' loaded onto th' big farm wagon, toted to th' market place, an' customers along th' way. Th' big drey horses, so wide across th' back, this six-year old could barely straddle, partially, worked in th' fields, an' then pulled th' vehicle t' town That was an experience, ne'er t' be f'rgotten, an' th' love o' th' iand, passed down t' offspring, carries along, from generation t' generation, th' same love fr farming'. This granny gets a lot o' pleasure from knowin' that two o' me own grand­ sons 're farmers. . Talkin' o' th' possibility o' th' small farmer (if ye c'n call a thousand acres small farmin') disappearin' from th' scene, there's little chance o' that, accordin' t' what is learned, f'r th' simple reason that lasts in me memory Th' love o' th' farm livin', away from th' hustle, th' noise, th' close livin', wi' no room t' spread out. folks '11 ne'er give up th' farms, as long as this is a "Land O' The Free." Most people don't pay attention t' what was a happenin', an' how close this society was a gettin't' bein' controlled by gover'ment, t' th' extent that freedom, as we knew it was fast disap­ pearin'. Seems t' this granny that ever'one should ha' seen it a comin'. One almost thinks it was deliberate, so's we'fall into bankruptcy, and into th' hands o' in­ ternational bankers, becomin' pawns t' those who'd come into possession o' th' pow'r t' wield law in our America We have a heritage t' protect, an' we better jist get busy an' pertect it. All th' years this granny'^ messages o' warnin' seem t' ha' gone unheeded. Now, th' die is cast, an' th' damage been done, an' it's time t' take th' bitter pill, time t' count our blessin's an' quit takin' it f'r granted that thr till is full, an' "Father Gover'ment," *11 take care o' our needs. It's time t' teach th' young t' stand on their own feet, an' learn that this life hain't th' easy bed they thought it was. That's a sure road to totalitarianism. Folks in farm areas, know hard work, an' they don't have warm buildin's t' keep 'em from winter's cold, an' protection from summer's heat, wi' air-conditioned environments. City folk don't realize th' hazards a farmer faces, an' most do. B'fore th' new tractors came along, wi' closed cabs, men, an' wo­ men, who worked along wi' their men, were subjected t' th' dust, from th' earth, an' that created at time o' harvest o' grains, t' th' extent that they fall prey t' emphasema illness, an' meet th' "Grim Reaper," long afore their time, as have many down here, along wi' me own son-in-law In order t' keep up wi' th' demands f'r food, it takes a heapo' money, these days, t' pervide th' modern equip­ ment, needed t' farm large areas, an' pervide a modest living' f'r a family. Farm women don't work, nine't'five, e'en when they don't have younguns t' tend, an' they keep right on, until th' years catch up, an' they have t' change their ways Havin' had a good op^ portunity t' view farm life, at close range, day in an' day out, f'r a number o' years now, this ol' lady hopes th' picture painted, f'r those uninformed, 11 be taken in all sincerity.

After nearly 34 years of marriage my husband came home and said he wanted a trial separation. He denied there was another woman, but I found out later he was involved with someone else. He has done nothing to try and save our marriage, which I believe is worth saving. Now he has filed for divorce.How could I have not known any of his feelings and whv won't he give us another chance? What can I do? A. The best thing you caft do under the circumstances is simply to take this in a calm and dignified manner. Tell your husband that you believe your marriage could be saved. Say that he did not give you a fair break, but that if this is the way he wants it, you will accept it, though reluctantly. You have, of course, the right to know why. The fact that your husband demanded separation and divorce indicates that he had made his decision and did not want further consideration. This sort of thing often results from subtle changes in personality, and you should not necessarily feel responsible or reproach yourself. Be sure you have a good legal adviser.

My husband had to quit his job because of emotional problems, and on the recommendation of his doctor went to a mental health center. When the pastor and members of our church asked me if my husband had found a job yet I explained to them that my husband was under psychiatric care and was unable to work at this time. Since then I have been given the cold shoulder by these people. This upsets me. I was honest and I thought a pastor and friends would be understanding. What did I do wrong? A. One wonders if you are not self-creating this "cold shoulder" feeling. It is utterly incredible that any pastor or church members in this day and age would cold shoulder a wife simply because her husband is under counseling. But if you are certain that you are right about the attitude of your pastor and the church members the proper procedure is to talk it out with him ana tnem and not continue to brood over it. Don't bail them out Q I do not agree with your advice to the woman who was being called "an old woman" by office co-workers while being asked to do their work for them. You told her to maintain her good humor and help her younger associates. These girls will never learn their job if they are constantly bailed out. It was once assumed that one who applied for a job knew how to do simple arithmetic, could read and write, had ambition, courtesy and kindness. And it used to be that an employee who was lazy, was unwilling to learn, didn't know what soap and water was for, would be fired. Nowadays "no good" people don't worry even if they are fired. They go on welfare and we who are worthy and hard working pay taxes to keep these characters. Right ? A. Thank you for your opinion. You may be "right" in some of your facts, but a bitter attitude accomplishes nothing.

RECIPE By Sarah Am* SberMan Sponge cake appeals to most appetites when it's topped with fresh fruits and whipped cream. Since the strawberry season is near, and sponge cake (layer or individual can be frozen--this is a good time to stock your freezer-you can be ready for a quick dessert at a mo­ ment's notice. To bake perfect sponge cakes the following steps should be used: L Measure all ingredi­ ents. Sift sugar through a fine sifter one to four times before measuring, then sift four times. * 2. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry, and beat in gradually 1 tablespoon sugar for each egg white (out of sugar called for in recipe) and set aside. 3. Beat egg yolks with the same beater until thick and lemon colored. Beat in remaining sugar. 4. Combine yolks and whites. 5. Mix remaining dry ingredients and cut and fold into egg mixture.
