There,s a world of joy‘in a
household move-mostly for¬
gotten joys.
Its not that the Mtn. air has
Effected me and I don’t mean
that I necessiarly enjoy moving,
for it has its headaches but I do
. get a kick out of all the memories
stirred by little odds and ends of
things which turn up in the cou
;se of packing.
It took us two weeks to get
•everything packed. And we don’t
have that many things. It could
nave been done in a day, but
with the frequent breaks to muse
over some mememto it was a
drawn out affair. At first Shirley
got awfully irritated at my com¬
ing across some treasure and
stepping my packing to recall
some incident connected with it.
But after a while she ran across
my old Boy Scout diary and she
too gave in to the temptation
and joined me in the happy
pastime.
It got to where w r e both looked
forward to finishing supper in
order to get back to the chore
of packing—and re-discovering
little nuggets of the past.
Like the little Swiss box, filled
with coin, old and foreign,
which I’d collected from tne
time I was seven when my uncle
Hal gave me a French franc
which he’d brought home from
the Great War.
First, the box itself took me
back to a leave from the Fifth
Army in Italy -when I toured
Switzerland, but it was the coin
that re-freshed an incident
from childhood.
. I smiled as I remembered why
Uncle Hal had given it to me.
He lived in the country, near
Piedmont, Ala., and took great
pride in his beautiful apple orn
chard. I dont know what kind
of apples they were, but none
has since held the delightful
flavor of that golden and forbid
den fruit. My aunt cut them in¬
to small pieces and spread'them
on a cloth to dry in the sun
and from the dried fruit she
made wonderful fried pies all
winter. And I’ve never had a
fried pie so good since then
either.
The coin was promised on con
dition that if for the several
days visit I would not pull and
eat his prized fruit. (I was per¬
mitted to have all I wanted
of those which had fallen to the
ground.)
Well, I saw a loophole in that
sort of double-jointed promise
and I ate at will of that lucious

Dade Gets Tomato
Grading Machine
4 Boost For Farmers
The Dade County Tomato
Growers Assn, is installing a
tomato grading machine at the
old New England school for use
by area farmers.
Mr. Bill Pullen, president of
the association, said the mach¬
ine would be ready by the 25th.
It has been provided by State
Agriculture Commissioner Phil
Campbell and Eoyce Dyer, State
market director. The cost of the
installation will be paid by the
association from receipts of op¬
eration.
The machine is capable of
grading tomatoes, at the rate of
i250 bushels an hour and may
be used by any farmer, whether
an association member or not.
There will be a small charge
for this service, but Mr. Pullen
points out that the increased
sale price of graded tomatoes
will offset this cost.
At the site will be Federal
Inspector Ellis DePree to offici¬
ally check grading.
Crates are available at the
(school and small amounts of
'tomatoes can be handled, which
will be sent to markets in pool
^shipments.
The advantages of certified
jgraded shipments are
prices, both from being
'and from being shipped to the
market where supplies are
it ’’ as pointed out.
E. T. Brown will be in
of the operation.
Larger Vote Desired
In Wool Referendum
Mrs. Louise E. Wright, Mana¬
ger of the Dade County Agricul¬
tural Stabilization and Conser¬
vation Office, today urged all
w'ool growers to cast a ballot in
the September referendum on
the lamb and wool marketing
development program to insure
the' widest possible representa¬
tive vote.
The outcome of the referen¬
dum to determine whether or
not deductions will continue to
be made from payments under
the wool incentive program
should reflect the attitude of the
many different types of prod¬
ucers affected throughout the
country. While the primary
basis for approval will be the
volume of production represent¬
ed in the referendum, consider¬
ation will also be given to the
number of producers voting as
an indication of representative
producer approval or disap¬
proval.
