as big bubbles as the next one. Never
tried anything yet l couldn't do.
You go out and get me some bubble
gum right now, SOS l can start
practicing."
There was nothing like the way
grandma went at practicing blow
ing bubbles. I'm not kidding when
I say that many a time during the
rest of that week, l wished the guy
who had invented bubble gum a fate
worse than death. Just thinking
about bubble gum any more makes
me turn green.
For grandma, when she did any
thing, saw that she did it right.
From the time we first saw her in
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-05-01

the morning until she left us to go
to bed at night, she was blowing
bubbles. At first she had bubble
gum in her hair and her eyelashes.
She lost her teeth several times and
I had to help look for them.
Nom pleaded with her, and
threatened her, but it did no good.
She kept right on chewing and
practicing. She even went to the Ii
brary and asked for the latest litera-
ture on blowing bubbles with bub-
BILE gum. ,
DY Saturday, though, I'll say this
~ much, grandma was getting
pretty good. I almost had hopes she
might win. She wasn't the least bit
nervous, but kept right on practic-
ing. About noon that day I heard
her yell, "Yippee!"
I thought, ooh, oh, grandma's
gone crazy chewing so much" L
dashed into the room where she was
I needn't have worried about grand
ma I saw right away. I couldn't see
her face or head at all. The bubble
hid them completely. She let the
air out expertly and looked at me
triumphantly. "Not a thing to worry
about" she said. 81 think I can
even do better than that"
In a little while the gang began
to arrive. There was about a dozer
or so, but I was relieved to see thai
there were no dads in the bunch.
We held the contest in the house
because as grandma said, everyone
had to have a fair chance. No on'
was going to say the wind or some
thing else had made him lose whel
the contest was over.
I guess there is no use going int
detail about that contest. You hav
guessed by now that grandma wor
without even a close second. Grand
ma had come through again.
But believe me I've been might
careful about Dragging about grand
ma ever since. I'm still in the do
house with nom, for grandm
didn't stop chewing bubble gun
; after the contest. No Stree. She

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED FOR
CHILDREN ON WAITING LIST

There are large number of
children in Kent County living in
foster homes or in their own homes
under the care and protection of
the State Board of Welfare's Kent
County office in Dover. In fact,
there are S3 youngsters in foster
homes and 113 in their own or
relatives homes. Many more chill

care than the agency can provide
for in foster homes because recent

other hand, the number of children

whose own family is hopelessly
