- GRANDMOTHER h a d the
~ courage Of her convictions
49, and not the least Of these
was the Arm belief that greens"
were good for the family. So
when the long trek across the
plains began, there were several
little bags of seeds tucked away
in the drawer Of the highboy
packed near the middle Of the
covered wagon.
Although in grandmother's time
vitamins were unheard Of, there
is no doubt that her firm belief
in the virtues Of green stuff"
had much TO do with the fact
that she was able TO raise ten
children TO robust maturity.
Land was cleared and a small
cabin erected on the edge Of the
oregon forest. Grandmother gave
the men folks no peace until her
garden patch was cleared too
and the rich soil made ready for
her precious seeds. Several rows
of lettuce, cabbage and green
onions were started and almost
overnight tiny plants stuck their
heads above the ground. All went
well until one night when several
wild deer wandered near the
cabin, they found the tender
green morsels and in the morn
ing the garden was bare.
Grandmother was not TO be
discouraged, fortunately she had
not used all her seeds, so before
night new rows were planted
and when the seedlings appeared
grandmother was ready for them.
She had cut her precious wedding
veil into strips and sewed them
together so that the strips might
cover the rows. These were
staked down so that the deer
could no longer modest the grow
ing plants.
Some of grandmother's recipes,
/ believe, are unique. In fact l
have never eaten lettuce fixed
just as she fixed it. Our family
is very fond Of this dish.

Sang at Lincoln Memorial.
Miss Anderson first became in
volved In a controversy with the
OAR in the spring of 1899, when
the organization denied the use of
Constitution Hall for her concert.
OAR officers, at that time, explained
that the refusal was based on the
fact that the date in question al
ready was filled, but the situation
resulted in a major dispute over
OAR policies which eliminated in
the resignation of Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt from the organization.
Interior Secretary Ickes later gave
Miss Anderson permission to give
her concert from the steps of the
Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sum-
day, and thousands of persons JAM
med the area between the Memorial
and the Washington Monument to
listen.
The OARS invitation to Miss An

and, according to Mr.. Hand, was the
same as that issued to other artists
for the War Benefit series.
