Our "detergent" was big bars
of lye-soap, shaved into the hot
water, (or Oxydol a little later,
along with bleach).
In winter, if the sun shone,
we washed — always on a Sat-
urday morning - and no matter
if the air was freezing, either.
The tubs-full of dripping laun-
dry were hauled by two people to
the clothes-lines, and hung up
to dry. Of course, they froze
instantly, and sometimes, the
overalls and heavier things, like
towels, stayed frozen for days
before they dried.
I can see it now — the frozen

ernment or nature can give
enough but what we think it's
too little. Those old boys in the
fall of the year, if they could
gather in a few pumpkins, pota-
toes, and some corn for the win-

mood.
If we can't gather in a new
Buick, anew radio, a tuxedo and
some government relief, why,
we feel that the world is against
us."
