HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1960-03-03, Page 3They Still Keep A Broom At The Door Years ago when we were first setting up housekeeping and my green bride was not yet aware of all the country customs, old Cyrenus Hastings stuck his head in the back door and called, "Where's your broom!" I can't write it the way he said •it — halfway between broom and brum. I got him a broom, and he swept the newfallen snow from his great lumberman's boots and came into the house to sit a spell and exercise our rocker. Since then any sign of snow here causes the broom to be stood by the back door in an- cient Maine style. "Snowing a mite," I will say, and she says, "Oh, then I'll pelt the broom out in case Cyrenus comes " Old Cyrenus stopped coming long since, but many a new boot has been swept clean by the broom he taught my wife to keep handy for now. And . now, with the swift years, I notice people aren't sweeping their feet any more Some few do, still; but mostly folks march up to our back steps, thump the panel, twist the knob, and walk right past the broom , to bring all their nice wet snow for the floor. And I notice back -door steps aren't accoutred with brooms so much now. I think it was a .nice little custom, and should never have waned. Snow, back then, wasn't something the civil authorities removed to the -quick, but was a friendly, useful, not unpleas- ant aspect of winter which could be lived with easily. Now peo- ple come in low shoes and rub- bers, and sometimes Without even rubbers, and you can go all over the county with sum- mertime gear. Then you wore some kindof hi -cut, or galoshes, and expected to trudge a good deal in deep snow. When it came to entering a house, you swept your feet — and every home had a broom' out so you could do it. There was always a broom at the schoolhouse, at the church, and sometimes at the store. You didn't track in. I haven't seen anynow for some time, but there used to be a commodity called felt boots. They were, without question, the warmest, most comfortable footwear for winter use. They were made of thick, coarse felt, a little hairy, and their soles probably had some hemp or cardboard thrown in for stiffen- ing. They laced up almost to your knee, the top half having hooks instead of eyelets. Out-of-doors, you wore a pair of heavy gum rubbers on them, which, kept you dry -shod and RAUL. COMES CLEAN R a u 1• Castro, brother of Cuban pre-. miler Fidel, is snapped in Ha- vana — minus his well-known heard and pony tail haircut. gave you • traction. They were ideal for all outdoor farm work, and in 40 -below weather your feet would always be oozy — Which was not true of cowhides. And, a very good arrangement, when you came into the house you could slip off the rubbers. and the felts made just as good slippers as anybody ever had. A bit high, but fine, Felt boots did have one fault. Their internal combustion sys- tem set up a natural pedal reac- tion which could offend in a close room with fussy people. Their usefulness in the open was their failing in the parlor, Also, this steaming tendency which made them so salubrious in the cold outdoors had a a way of coming through at the ankles, so' the snow would melt there some, "and then 'freeze again, and this built up great balls of ice which clung to the fibers. This didn't impede the efficiency of the boot, but it gave you something to whack at when you tried to sweep it off. It wouldn't sweep off. You could whack at your ankles un- til the broom shattered and. you'd just get a hearty jingle- jangle like a'crystal chandelier in a high wind. You could pull the ie balls o al s off with your fin- gers, but not with your mittens on, and standing there doing it while supper waited was a chil- ly matter worth remembering when grayheads speak of the olden days. In time, pulling off the ice would remove enough fibers so the boots went weak at the ankles, Another thing you :Could do was remove the boots • at once and let them melt by the fire, but the felt ab- sorbed the water and it some- times took more than overnight to dry them again. Cowhide boots; swept on the step, were a let easier to get ready for tomorrow, although we did have to grease them now and. then. We did this with neatsfoot oil, which you 'could then buy without hunting the state' over. It was an oil made from the hooves of neat cattle, or oxen; and it would make leather boots as wet -proof as a duck. Best way was to . pour it in a baking pan and stand the boots in 'it so• the leather would soak up well. You used a dauber to cover the uppers. This chore had a richfarm aroma, and every kitchen had a corner where boots were greased and because of constant dripping the planks ' would be oiled as well as any boots for an aree of about four feet. And there was forever and ever a harnessy smell there, ripest in August when the weather assist- ed in dispensing it. One point being that you could wear felt boots in the other 'room, but oily leather boots were not Conten- anced on a sofy. I lean, myself, towards felts, They .were harder to sweep, but their other ad- vantages were telling. Today the floors. youcome in on are laid with linoleum and well waxed, and a'gisick cotil-' ion with a mop takes no longer than sweeping. The wide pine planks of old farmhouses were another story. But if :you come to our door in' snowtime,,- you'll find a broom there, and' we'd appreciate • it if you'll 'sweep. We like to , keep a custom here and there. Old Cyrenus, when he- swept, used to up -end the broom and whack hisheels with the handle — not wholly to show he was thorough, but to crack any ice that might send him under the wash bench when he crossed the threshold.,— By John Gould < in the 'Christian Science. Monitor. "In times of trial," said a preacher to his congregation of convicts, "what brings us: the greatest comfort?" "Acquittal!" mumbled a voice from the. back. ISSUE 8-- 1960 CROSSWORD PUZZLE 7.

Nutty Things About Apples Apple growers everywhere are excited by the news that a fruit farmer in South Africa has pro- duced apple trees which bear fruit all the year round and never shed their leaves. Before putting the tree on the market, says a report from Wel- lington, South Africa, the far- mer sent a number to friends in all parts of the country to test under all possible conditions. All reported that the trees grew exteremely well and are bearing apples "up to the best of expec- tations." What's more, says the farmer, the tree has been found to be at least fifty per cent less sus- ceptible to virus and insect plagues. Ever since Eve mankind has been eating apples. The apple 'is the oldest fruit associated with human beings, but we are not the only creatures who. like ap- ples. More than five hundred. species of insects are known to feed off the apple tree which will also support fungus and other growths. Talking of apple eating, a Pennsylvania barber succeeded in eating 366 apples in two hours and five minutes before a crowd of 400. He did it for a wager. Any ill, effects? "A bad attack of indigestion and stiff jaw mus - cels,' he reported. Because housewives like to have apples with ruddy cheeks, scientists at a U.S, agricultural research . station experimented until they discovered a liquid which, sprayed on the ripening fruit, turned them red quickly. It's astonishing how many strange beliefs have apples as their core! Women in some parts of the world who have not giv- en their husbands an heir some- times go out in dry weather and roll under apple trees, convinced that this will make them fruit- ful. Some negroes believe that apple -shaped birthmarks can be removed by rubbing them with apples • and keeping the person on an apple diet. This, of course, is not so. English, German and Danish folklore contain many stories of apples used 'as love charms. Some Danes to -day believe that an apple 'serves as a chastity test, fading when the owner is unfaithful. Champion apples? A Durham man named Stobbe was father- ing applesin his orchard. in 1818 when he found a Yorkshire green more than thirteen inches in circumference: It weighed 13% ounces, but was dwarfed by another apple picked by a man named Fillbridge who also lived in Durham. This giant was 22 inches in circumference. JIND Y SCfOO! LESSON By Rev.

Paul and his p a r t y were warmly welcomed by the bre- thren on their arrival at Jeru- salem. And then events took an unusual turn. The Christian Jews in Jerusalem — and there were many .of them — were zealous for the law, Paul had been preaching to the Gentiles and was not requiring them to be circumcised and walk after the many customs of the Mosaic law, Now James proposed that Paul purify himself along with four men who had taken upon themselves a Nazarite vow, and bear the expense of the sacri- fices that must be offerod before they could shave their heads. This would amount to a public demonstration that Paul himself was keeping the law, and would refute the charges that he was teaching Jews not to do so. Some time before this, Paul of his own accord had taken such a vow. (Acts 18:18). Paul agreed to do as was suggested, Whether Paul made a mistake here or not, is hardly for us to judge. Nowhere is it suggested that he did• wrong. It seems to be part of his pattern of being all things to all men. To the Jew he became as a Jew. There was certainly nothing sinful in what he did. People change their ideas slowly. Paul was not up..' holding these vows and the sub- sequent offerings as a means of salvation. They were no substi- tute for faith in Jesus Christ. On the other hand, Paul's course here didn't seem to accomplish much for the kingdom unless it was to assure the Hebrew Chris- tians that he was not hostile to the law and hence could be fully trusted. But now, non-Christian Jews from Asia saw Paul in the temple and supposed that True phimus, a Gentile cOmpatile from Ephesus, had accompanied hint into the temple. This wa$ a serious offense, if it heti heed committed. Gentiles were only permitted in the outer court of the Gentiles. The agitation be- gan and soon the city was in an uproar. They drew Paul out of the temple and began to beat him, purposing to kill him. His arrest by the Roman soldiers saved his life. Paul obtained permission to address the mob. He told of his conversion. When he mentioned his commission to preach to the Gentiles, the uproar began anew. The chief captain took him in and ordered examination under scourging.
