From where I sit... iy Joe Marsh
Do Men Like Women?
Maybe you read that recent ar-
ticle in a national magazine, claim-
ing that American men don’t really
like the company of women. They
just put them up on a pedestal and
leave them there.
But I wouldn’t say that that was
so in our town. Look at any mar-
ried couple—like the Cuppers.
Jane wouldn’t nag if Dee spent his
evenings “with the boys”—but
actually Dee likes nothing better
than to stay home by the fire,
sharing a glass of beer with Jane,
playing cribbage, or just talking.
And when he does go out, for
an afternoon of fishing down at
Seward’s Creek, or for an evening
glass of beer at Andy Botkin s
Garden Tavern, Jane is almost al-
ways with him (except when she s
got a spot of baking in the oven).
From where I sit, respect
doesn’t rule out everyday com-
panionship ... and never should.
They go together—essential parts
of a successful marriage.

Mrs. Boatright entertained
the Helping Hand Club on their
regular meeting day, Thursday,
March 13.
Nineteen members and visitors
were present. Five new mem-
bers were welcomed into the
club: Mrs. Omar Cottle and
Mrs. Max Scarborough on Mrs.
Main’s side, and Mrs. J. V. Har-
per, Mrs. L. Bierschwale and
Mrs. Chester Mosel on Mrs.
SiePs side.
Mrs Harlan read a letter from
Adams Extract Co. stating that
our club could still get refunds
for the Adams Extract cartons.
So members are requested to
bring ih their cartons to the
club.
A quilt was selected and each
member given a pattern to make
one block to bring to the next
meeting. This quilt will be
sold by chances to make the
club’s donation to the Commun-
ity Park. The club has also been
given the right to have a stand
at rodeos, barbecues etc. held in
the park.
Mrs. Harlan reported on the
progress of the Community Park
She said that the committee
suggested that each club or or-
ganization in Harper be given
some definite part in the com-
munity center project, and that
each such organization be made
responsible for the completion
of this certain part.
It was suggested that the
Helping Hand Club buy the
electric pump. All members a-
greed and Mrs. Fletcher and
Mrs. Jones were appointed to
see about buying the pump.
Mrs. Harlan entertained by
reading a short comical sketch
sent in by the Progressive Farm-
er. It was enjoyed by all.
The meeting adjourned and
everyone enjoyed “visiting” as
the hostess served delicious
sandwiches, cheesets, cookies,
potato chips, coffee, and ice tea.
Anyone wishing to join the
club will be welcomed. Come as
a visitor and see what the club
is doing.
The next meeting will be in
the home of Mrs. Baumann, the
second Thursday in April at
2:30 p. m.

When a lawnmower becomes very dull,
that is, when the blades become too thick, there
is only one way to sharpen it and that is to
grind it on a grinding wheel.
All new lawnmowers are first ground at
the factory when they are made. Lapping in
a mower with emery paste is the finished pro-
cess only. It does not and can not take the
place of grinding.
Common sense will tell you that when the
same mower becomes dull and the blades thick
and uneven it must first be ground to restore
the proper bevel or clearance and make all the
blades absolutely even.
The ‘'Ideal’’ Sharpener does such a perfect
job of grinding that it will cut newspaper with
a clean cut at everypoint of the straight blade
on each reel knife.
