Grove, a cute little Miss with
long pigtails, has horned in on

Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Lojyjfe: "Not
doing that well this week,
though."
Mickey operates her lawn-
mowing business strictly with the
latest Equipment. "I use dad's
pgwermower-," she explains.
And I pay the rent by mowing
our yard." — —>
Overhead isn't too bad.
"I usually buy a gallon of gas
a week," Mickey added, quite
businesslike. "That's a quarter.
Dad furnishes the oil."
Mickey went into the mowing
business when things got sort of
slow around nome this summer.
There was a power mower handy.
Some of the neighboring yards
needed mowing.

shies away from yards that have
dogs. She'll mow jthem, but for
a slightly higluyrprice.
The dog hi te wasn't serious,
but three stitches were needed to
closfe^ff "I Tried to pet_ the dog
he bit me," she recalls.
"Grandma ran it away with a
hoe."
Mickey guesses she averages
mowing one lawn per day. She
stops and starts the power mow-
er by herself, gassing it up and
making minor adjustments and
repairs.
And the lawn mowing is just
one of the young businesswo-
man's venter—. She also jells
cold drinks at all Roxton Little
League games.
"A girl likes to have money of
her own," she explains with a
grin. — - ■' - ; '■
