THE
FARMERS WIFE
BY GRACE LUEBKE

hold our annoal observance of
Roral Life Sunday. This day is set
aside to remind us of our respon-
! sibility in caring for the soil -
that substance which is absolutely
necessary to sustain every bit of
life on this earth.
Grange people here in the coun-
ty are going to have special OBJ
servance again this year. On that
that Sunday, May 6, at $50 pm.
there will be a pot luck supper at
the Genoa Grange Hall and after
the meal a special service will be
held. Mrs. Christina Wolter, our
Pomona Chaplain will have charge
Of this service, and / know that
just as she always does, Mrs. VOL
ter will provide us with a very
inspirational and thought provok-
ing service, with various folks in
the county taking part.
Talking about sowing seed, some
of our school teachers are Sunday
School teachers, too, have an eff
fective method of showing small
children what will happen when a
seed is planted in the soil, and it
sure makes an impression on them,
at least it did on Kathy. Her Sun
day School teacher, Mrs. Leonard
ffland, of Curtice, brought some
paper drinking cups half-filled with
soil to Sunday School one Sunday
morning. She planted some nastur-
tuim seed in each cup, then in
structed the little ones to take
them home, water them once in a
while, and soon the flower would
start to grow She also wisely told
them not to stick their fingers in
the dirt, and by goIly, Kathy didn't
either, even though she dearly
loves to stick her fingers in dirt.
/ don't believe I've ever seen her
so impressed with anything as she
was with this cup of soil, it was
her very own and she protested
violently when anyone touched it.
You can imagine how delighted
she was when the flowers started
to come up, the first thing she does
when she gets up in the morning
is to see how much it has grown.
Each spring Mrs. Iffland gives
this seed and soil to the children
in her nursery class, she said that
one year one of her children later
on brought bouquet of flowers to
Sunday School that she'd picked
from those plants. Isn't that a
wonderful, yet simple method ol
teaching children the wonders OF
growing things?

1t sure was worth it, though.
We all felt just as proud as could
be to listen to them play and
watch them in their resplendent
new outfits. We parents of these
young people are very grateful for
those really hard-Working Band
Mothers who made this all possible.
When Art Whaley, of the Oak
Harbor Fire Department, talked to
us last Saturday morning about
fires and some of their causes, l
think he really made us sit UP and
take notice that a bad fire can oc-
cur in the home or on the farm
to each of us, that it isn't always
the other fellow that it happens to.
Art did swell job of making
us more fire conscious, in fact, he
scared the daylights out of me
when he spoke about the 58 pos
sible causes of fire in the average
home, let alone in the barn, etc
One thing he did stress, which

This is the time of year wher
we pay particular attention to the
soil - if we're farmers we test it
(or at least, we should to find
what elements necessary for good
plant growth are lacking.
We're careful not to work it if
it isn't dry enough, and when it
eventually has just the right
amount of moisture to work up
nicely, then we're carful and try
to preserve as much of that mois-
ture as possible. Before long the
ground is ready for the seed to be
sown, and then comes that period
of sometimes anxious waiting for
the seed to come up If the wealth
er's right, the green shoots soon
appear, and we're aware that thru
the goodness of Got, come harvest
time, we humans will again re-
ceive a renewed supply of food
However, we must be as careful
as we can not to abuse the soil
that we're responsible for, and not
starve 1t to death by not giving it
the proper food to sustain it.
On Sunday, May 6, we will again

5:15 am. today, which is trifle
early in the morning to get up
by most peoples standards. How
ever, there were a good many
mothers in the Oak Harbor area
who had to roll out early this
morning because one of their boys
or girls who play with the Senior
Band at Oak Harbor we're leaving
the school at $50 this morning to
90 to Ashland, Ohio, to compete in
the State band contest.
By the time you read this, the
results of the contest will be
known, and we all wish Mr.. Frey
tag and these young people lots of
luck. Whatever the results are,
this is wonderful experience for
these young people, and | don't
imagine they'll ever forget it.
Mr.. Freytag has worked long
and hard in preparation for this
day, and for the Spring Concert
that all of the bands of the school
participated in last Saturday night.
This fact was evident to all of us
as we. listened first to the fluto-
phone band, then the Junior, the
Cadet and finally the Senior Band.
It's beyond me how one person
can possibly teach so many young
Sters the fundamentals of playing
musical instrument, and in addi-
ton direct four different bands.
This - plus the Glee Club, tool
must make for mighty full sched-
ule The people in the Oak Harbor
area should be thankful for muSi-
cal director of Mr. Freytags cal
ibre, and l know they are, too.
There's more to maintaining a
school band than practicing music,
as any member of a Band Mothers
organization can tell you. 1t was
necessary for the Oak Harbor Sr.
Band to have new uniforms, and
dllCl lOLo VI lidl u NOl III IL YIN :
to raise sufficient funds for an ex-
pensive project such as this, the
amount was raised. The band was
measured for their new uniforms,
and the order went out. Everyone
was hoping that these new outfits
would arrive in time for this State
contest, and even better yet, for
the Spring Concert. Last Saturday
| afternoon a telegram arrived at
school saying the uniforms were at
F., the Toledo Express Airport. Then
started such bee hive of activity
the likes of which you never saw.
Mr.. Fuller got them with his truck,
and the band mothers started is
suing uniforms about 600 O'Clock
that night, just before the con.
