EXETER Mom, my homemade strawberry jam has ttie con- sistency of glue. Do you sup- pose it's safe to eat it anyway? Mom, • Fred says I can't even make decent coffee! What should 1 do. Mom, Tommy has a fever. What do you think I should give him? Mother always. comes up with answers, and to daughter it seems as though she always had the answers. But did she? To some daughters, the answer to that question is a shock. The Mother, who is now famous for flakey pie crust, used to be tempted to give her guests chisels instead of forks. Her muffins would have made excellent. baseballs, and 'her cakes could have been mistaken for pancakes. During the first months of marriage, she feared her hus- band might be stricken by food poisoning. The Mother, whc used to feed threshing crews that numbered from '10 to.20 men, can still "throw together" a feast for surprise visitors, but at one time, she panicked at the thought of feeding one hired hand. A daughter, who grew up on a farm, watched mother fork hay into mangers, feed calves from pails and handle milking machines with skill. Could it be true that, when she married Father and mov- ed from town, she hardly knew one end of a cow from the other? As long as daughter can. remember, Mother could plough, plant and scuffle ex- pertly.' Surely x-pertly.'Surely Father is only joking when he says the first time she got on a tractor she backed halfway across the field. - It seems incomprehensible that the Mother, who is .always so calm in times of il- Iness or injury, panicked the first time baby sneezed. Could it be true that once upon a time mothers were as uncertain as daughters? If so. how did they come up.with all the answers.they now have? The answer is simple. They learned from experience - and a few calls to Mother. cs J the co-opetator INSURANCE SERVICES * LIFE * HOME * AUTO * FARM * COMMERCIAL CaII Verna Gingerich 374 Main St, Exeter Clinton Community Credit Union Office Residence 235.1109 Business LITTLE PEOPLE Infants to 14 'WE KATER TO KIDS" 397 Main St. Exeter, Ont. 235-1113 Presents Portraits by a; professional photographer in our store GREAT GIFT FOR MOTHER'S DAY �3days Thurs.
