Dear Adelaide:
Hornings and evenings are get
ting jvsr a mite nippy around this
egg factory, Sure glad we wore
force nov.lted this sunnier. It
would be something to step out these]
mornings in your summer underwea-. '
Ours is a well-built house, though,
with no bad drafts, and we've been
quite comfortable, by and large,
Sgg prices the last few weeks !
have erased the three largest wrink
les from the boss's brow and as
we're breezing along in full pro
duction tore, things have been
festive end jolly.
Sorry to hear you are having
an cpid.c ic of fowl pox. It’s
hard en 1 h on you girls, but tra
gic for ; '.ur boss at this time of
the year. Why won't he learn to
vaccinate every summer instead of ,
waiting until after the horse is
stolen bv. fore he leeks the barn.
We haven't had pox for years but
v;e still vaccinate every summer
that's j -st the reason we haven't
any.
Well, I see our cousins, tom
and Henna Turk, arc in the news
again with top billing in another
big show, while we loss colorful
clucks trie a back seat, A lot of
good it will do them, though; they
will never live to enjoy it--pcor
souls. I sometimes wonder what'
they’ve got that we haven’t got,
but then again, it*’s sometimes an
advantage to have no sox appeal,
or "oomph" as they call it nowadays,
I may bo always a bridesmaid and
never a bride, but at least I
still keep my head.
Last Tuesday, I attended the
regular mooting of our local hen
club, and we had our customary good
time. It's always a pleasure to
meet wit. a group who have the same
interests and problems that you do/
even though most of the afternoon
is spent in that question.! bic but
fascinating diversion of 'scratch
ing up choice morsels of gossip,
and clack-clacking ovpr the way
tilings arc run. I got a--lot of
real enjcyment--and usually learn
something too—out of these weekly
