further that they begin life with
the wrong outlook, which he at
tributes to prosperity and busy
parents. Youth are conforming
non-conformists" he continued;
they like to follow someone, or
some thing, and are cropping to
find a purpose in life and need
guidance. Parents have turned
away from the most important
thing, and should take time to
give God place in their lives, he
said, to live lives with purpose,
and to help and serve others.

g I 4 M p S E S
OF
I'll E PAST
BY CAROLYN LLOYD


bought two old bread boards at an
antique shop. She plans to use
them to hold arrangements of fruit
or flowers or for some other deco
rative purpose. The last thing she
has in mind is making bread in
them; and it would be foolish if
she did, for they were designed to
hold larger quantities of dough
than any modern housewife has
any use for. Each of the boards
had evidently been followed out by
hand from a single piece of wood
and has been mellowed from many
years of use.
AS admired the boards, there
came to mind picture of a wom-
an standing at a wooden-topped
table in a big kitchen. Her face
was flushed as she kneaded the big
batch of dough on the board her
husband had carved for her. The
kitchen was warm, for the wood
stove had been burning since early
morning, and occasionally she
stopped to go to the pump on the
porch for a drink of water or to
draw a little water to add to the
pot of vegetables simmering on
the stove. Soon she would roll out
the dough and cut it into dozens
of biscuits, for it was about time
for her husband and the boys to
come in from the field for dinner.
This was everyday practice, and
the bread board was as much a
part of her as her hands.
How amazed she would have
been could she have looked into a
crystal globe and watched her
great granddaughter dash into the
kitchen, switch on the electric
range, and open can of biscuits.
How Supplied to see her bread
board in an antique shop to be
sold as a decoration. 1t is just as
well, perhaps, that she couldn't see
this, for she would have been
scandalized to see her faithful old
kitchen utensil in the living room.
No more scandalized, though, than
her husband would have been to
see his old brass spitoon full of
flowers at some flower show. Both
would be amazed to see some mod
ern housewife, clad in bluejeans,
scraping away at the paint they
had covered that old dresser with
when they became tired of the
natural wood.
Where will the antiques of an
other day come from? Certainly
not from the chrome kitchens of
today. Fads come and go, but it
is hard to picture anyone getting
excited over a pyrex baking dish
or an aluminium biscuit pan. The
genuine antiques will be passed
from generation to generation, of
course, but the growing trend to-
ward houses of glass and steel
may once again relegate the old
pieces to the attic. 1t is true that
ga thing of beauty is a joy for
ever; but it is also true that
beauty is in the eye of the behold
err and eyes that see beauty in
stainless steel and chrome may
fail to appreciate the patina of an
old piece of wood. Grandma's
bread board will outlast many
generations, and the beauty of the
wood will never fail; but it is
doubtful that it will ever again be
widely used for it's original pur-
pose-it is now an antique for
ever.
