bike to Heman Park Pool, University
City, our richer neighbor to the
southwest.

The
Great Depression days affected us in the
40s. If you look closely at the dresses
the girls are wearing you will see they
are made from 'feed sack' material. A
lot of girls wore dresses made by their mother
or grandmother. For
girls living on farms, the style and
pattern of the fabric was a big factor
in choosing which feed would be fed to
the animals. Boys and girls
alike wore simple but very stylish
clothing for that time. (Feed sack
material was available at Arcadia Feed
Mills, 6674 Easton Ave.)
Television
had not been invented in the 40s. People
read the news was posted on buildings
for people to read.

CLEANING
5. Scrub dirty pots and pans with a mixture of 1 teaspoon of borax and warm water. Because borax is non-abrasive, it will work on the grime without damaging the surface material.
6. Remove a stubborn stain by mixing 1 cup of borax with 2 cups of warm water and apply the paste directly to the stain. Let it sit, then launder as usual. Remove carpet stains by dampening the stain thoroughly and rubbing some borax on it. Vacuum it then finish it off with a vinegar and water solution. Let it dry and repeat if necessary.

WHO'S BIRTHDAY IS IT THIS MONTH?
One summer, Jerry Cebe suffered a seriously
burned hand, attempting to gently move a vat of hot
fat. White finger tips were another hazard. One
employee had to “bleach the boards” every night,
sterilizing the planks on which sandwiches were
assembled.
