didn't do those things" He is
RIGHT, for after a bit of research
We find that only 100 years ago
we did not have a single public
library in the United States.
For food. we were confined for
the most part to beef, pork, fish,
hominy and potatoes. Even the
buttons and snaps you use so
freely were scarce and expensive.
Clothes were held in place with
laces and trousers held up with
pegs. When you went to church
the collection was taken by means
of a long pole with a velvet bag
and bell to wake up the sleepy
ones. H,
MUSIC HOLDS OWN
In this day and age the young
sterS take for granted such mod
ern conveniences as cuu m
cleaners, electric stoves, radios,
automobiles, airplanes and the
like. The world moves on and we
move with it :. or live in dreams
of what we choose to call the
"good old days." Few of us would
return to it if we could, but the
music continues to hold its own
and the "Old Skipper" is going to
include the "Old Time" radio pro-
gram in the schedule very soon.
We will be on the air this after
noon at 5:45 over WJSV for an
other little chat with our ship
mates. Until then, ship, ahoy!
