BY CAROLYN LLOYD

This week ! have several guest
columnists. Some time ago the
students in my world history class
wrote themes on the subject,
81 Would Cor Would Not) like to
have lived in Medieval days. Some
of them were quite entertaining,
and the students gave me permits
sion to share excerpts with you.
Being modest, they requested that
their names not be used.
From a boys paper: II would
like to have been a knight during
the middle ages because the only
work they had to do was fight
or protect other peoples property.
A knight was a highly honored
person because of his bravery and
skill at fighting. Most of the time
the women flocked around him
like crows in corn field"
An excerpt from a poer1, also
by boy:
''They had no water, sanitation,
or lights,
Or dishes and pots to wash every
night.
This life was interesting in
peculiar way
Because they had no taxes to
pay"
The feminine viewpoint is typi-
cally expressed in the following
quotations:
81 have no wish to have lived
during medieval days. My gosh!
What about giving up my bubble
gum and my precious dungarees.
can just see myself rustling
around in a great big castle in
yards and yards of material-a
especially eating, living, and even
sleeping in one big hall. Another
thing couldn't stand is eating out
of the same plate and drinking
from the same cup some cole
knight haed used"
| 81 am positive that | wouldn't
like the idea of my father giving
me away to the highest bidder O,
! the greatest knight. know just
what | would wind up with-the
ugliest and meanest knight any
where around"
"In those days you did not have
to worry about washing or break
ing dishes, for these were very
few. On Monday you could relax,
for there was little or no washing.
Clothes were changed very seldom
because it was usually too cold
to take a bath. There were no bills
to pay because almost everything
was produced on the estate. In
come taxes were unheard of, and
| the mind rested in peace"
A thousand years have passed:
yet history and literature tell US
that the ladies of medieval days
were concerned chiefly with the
very same things that concern my
modern misses: men, clothes, and
homework. There are major
points of difference, of course.
The modern girls medieval
counterpart couldn't have written
her own name, let alone a theme.
She would have already lived at
least half of her life, the life ex-
pectancy in those days having
been between twenty-five and
forty years.
AS for the boys, even the more
practical ones forgot that there
were more serfs than Sir Lance
lots in those days. That, too, is one
of the glories of youth-to see only

5000 feet of terraces and sowed al
falfa. In 1854, Jimmie cleared Is
acres of land for pasture, built 5000
feet of terraces and sowed 35 acres
of land to permanent pasture.
In March, 1858, their home was
completely destroyed by fire. On the
new farm they bought, there was no
pasture and only 80 acres of the 10
cleared. Jimmy and his Dad cleared
16 acres of land and thinned Is acres
of timber. They have also filled four
gullies to stop erosion and sown 80
acres of permanent pasture.
There is much more work to be
done on the new farm to bring it up
to full production but the father-and-
son team are working hard to get the
job done.
Winning this award means Jimmie
was one of the 16 outstanding club
members selected from 46 states.
Eight national winners, to be chosen
from the sectional champions, will
receive $500 college scholarships. AS
state winner in the Soil Conserva-
ton program, Jimmie received cash
