MY MOTHER

My mother is not a good

good home-maker. When
any one of her children or
grandchildren is sick, the
whole household revolves
around that one. She is
never too busy, no day is
ever so crowded that she
does not have time to come
several times a day and ask
the sick one if anything is
needed.
The kitchen of her home
Is the most important room
in the house. There are
always the most fascinating
aromas emanating from it.
Her home is never so clean
that the children cannot
bring their friends in to
make fudge, spend the night.
or just to play. There are
always old clothes for dress
up games.
When any one of us made
a mistake my mother did
not say. Il told you" She
just said, "Try again" I
remember the first time I
baked biscuits, l didn't put
anything in them but flour.
buttermilk and lard. They
were fiat and hard as rocks.
Mother just said, TRY
again."
Even now that I am grown
and married with a home of
my own. when I walk in the
door. something in me seems
to whisper, welcome home"

Don Irwin Mrhes M Interesting
 Florida Vacation

Ed. note: Tn writing from Win ter Haven, Florida, Don l.. Irwin, formerly director of the Alaska Agriculture Experiment Station, reports that he finds Florida diff ferent from any place he has pre- vi0usly visited.
 Its quite country and while it has it's drawbacks, as every place has, I can sure see advan- tages in this country for winter comfort. It would be fine if we could just bring all of our friends along with us.
 "A week ago our son, Donald, and his wife and baby took us down to the famous Cypress Gardens. We saw water carni- val-very good, took ride in boat all around the garden and were fortunate enough to be there when Miss America, 1856. was there. I snapped a picture of her sitting on an improvised throne. It's my judgment that we have girls in Alaska who are just bit prettier and have talent equal to or better than that in the parade of contest beauties for the title of Miss America.
 Yesterday we took a trip over to Lakeland, Tampa and Clear water which is on the west coast Gulf of Mexico). We drove out to the beach. saw people lying in the sun and some of them out in the water bathing. I would have liked to have gotten into the water but mother thought I'd bet CT act my age and not expose my spare tire to the sun. We were very comfortable in our shirt sleeves and no hat-tem- perature about 80 degrees.
