HORSE AND BUGGY
DAYS
BY the Old Lamp Lighter

Among the improvements of to-
day over those of half a century
or more ago, is that of communica-
tion. / can remember clearly as
a boy riding from home on horse
back to notify friends and relatives
of a death. That was the best
way known at that time to convey
such information although sad in
deed. It was not possible to go
to the telephone and call those
whom you desired to notify so
that they could have an Opportun-
ity of attending the funeral. And
some of the distances covered by
horseback or buggy were not short.
Sometimes it would be bitter cold
in winter or scorching hot in sum-
mer. We wonder if the telephone
is not one Of the things today Of
much value to us and if we appre-
ciate it rs we should. But there
is more or less satisfaction and
consolation In the world, always, if
only we stop to consider them.
Hardships today? Well ] am sure
We would not want to return to
old fashioned ways and customs.
But back in the olden days things
were taken as a matter of course
as il was the best we had and we
did not know any better ways And
We were just thinking that people
today could get back to simpler
ways of living and be just as happy
as those who lived back in the
times of our grandfathers and
grandm0thers. At least gasoline
rationing was one thing they did
not have to worry about. Probably
the more we have in this world
the more trouble we experience
or think we do.
The old country store is an in
stitution of by-gone days. There
are still few to be seen here and
there, but even these are not the
same any more. Various commodi-
ties Of a later date are now to be
seen on the shelves. AS it used to
be, everything was kept - from
the wants of the farmer to those
Of the housewife. One thing
remember we'll in the old country
stores was the primitive method
of measuring molasses. There
was no convenient measuring
spigOt at that time and if you
came to the store for mOlasses. the
storekeeper had various sized
measures into which he ran the
molasses and then scraped it out
as best he could into your contain
er, with a small wooden paddle
City stores were about the same
as those of the country districts
Many times l took the store for
my parents, a dozen eggs, at u
cents per dozen, pound of but
ter at Is to 20 cents per pound.
Something which stands out to
this day, vividly, in my mind, was
the fact that if / could get permis-
sion to have penny for some
sweet morsel, thought / was do
ing fine. This is in comparison

Rent Reduction
Now Effective
Must be Cut Back
to April, al Level

WASHINGTON, June 1 Up
1t was rent, reduction day to-
day for thousands of residents
in 20 population centers.
The government, through the
office of Price Administration,
ordered the reductions into eff
feet in areas in which some o.
100000 persons live.
There were no exact figures
available on how many tenants
will get cuts in rentals but it
was regarded as certain that in
the near future similar proceed
ure would be ordered for others
of the nearly 400 "defense-rent-
al" areas now designated.
Under the order effective to-
day rent prices had to cut back
in Ia areas, including Detroit,
to the levels prevailing April l,
1941; in four others the rents of
January 1, 1941 will govern and
in Cleveland and Wichita, Kan
saS, the rates must be reduced
to those of July /, 1941.
Price Administrator Leon
Henderson explained the system
thus:
"No tenant is to pay more
rent for his present living quar-
ters than the rent charged on
the maximum-rent date if his
resent quarters have not under
gone substantial alteration or
change since that date"
