LENORA GIBBLE grows dozens of dahlias.
ripening
.... Saturday after -Saturday the
Seventh-day Adventist Church is
made beautiful by blooms grown
in the garden of Lenora Gibble.
"Except for mowing and
rototilllng I do it all myself," says
the 7 6-year-old green-thumber
whose windows are overflowing
with houseplants and whose
backyard is a picture-perfect vista
of color and foliage.
Nine years ago a fall from an
attic broke Mrs. Gibble's back.
Through many long months in a
brace she dreamed of her
gardening days.
"They told me I couldn't do
that sort of work again," she
laughs, "but I showed them!"
Born and reared in
Hutchinson, Kansas, Lenora
Gibble came to this area 33 years
ago. Now widowed, ehe recalls the
days when she and her husband
gardened together.
"We had ten acres on Mill
Creek Road," she explains. "We
moved here to our Hlllcrest home
seven years ago."
Her garden is smaller than
that grown on her acreage but
yields a wealth of food and
flowers. Dahlias, and glads,
zinnias and marigolds flourish
beside already-ripe tomatoes and
many other vegetables.
"I wouldn't trade my little
house in Shelton for a mansion
anywhere else!" she exclaims.
Feature Writer, l
JAN DANFORD
Utterly false indeed is the
prevalent rumor that I have
permanently forsaken the frills of
feminine attire in favor of the
more practical pantsuit.
My preference is but
temporary and dates from a
milm4r vacation rrashap which so
disfigured my fat little legs that I
have since hidden them from
public view lest it appear that 1
was deliberately flagellated.
In the somewhat bleary-eyed
state which is my normal
condition immediately upon
arising and directly prior to my
morning coffee I peered through
the grime of my cobwebbed
kitchen window to note that
Shadrach, my beloved goat, had
wrapped his weighty chain around
a tree trunk in such a manner that
he retained a mere few feet of
freedom.
Becoming aware of my
attentive concern he forthwRh set
up a piteous bleating. I dashed
from the house clad skimpily in a
decidedly short nightie.
Soon the heavy chain was
disentangled whereupon
Shadrach, instead of leaping
happily forward as any decent
goat would have done, swiftly
irretrievably off balance and
about to fall flat on my poor old
face 1 noticed that I was being
swept beneath the bending bough
of the old apple tree.
In true Tom Mix fashion I
grasped the providential
protuberance, twinging my
tortured legs up and front to
allow the chastising chain to pass
beneath them. While I was
congratulating myself on this
athletic maneuver the branch
broke and down came rockabye
baby flat on her aching back.
My skull bounced off the turf
with a resounding whack. Blows
on the head never raze me an iota,
but I feared for the safety of my
already ailing spine.
As I rose cautiously to my
tottering feet there echoed from
my readjusting vertebrae a dry
and brittle rattle reminiscent of
an ancient marimba in the f'mal
throes of decaying disintegration.
A tentative step was
attempted. I jogged a little. I ran
madly across the meadow, leaping
blackberry bushes. My back felt
great.
I may change Shadrach's
name to Chiropractor; or maybe
I'll just call him Big Bruiser.
The things one does
on tennis courts
should certainly
be done in shorts
and when my weary
bones relax
they do so best
in roomy slacks,
but I, who dearly
love to dance
will seldom do so
wearing pants
for now there sags
unsightly hummock
where before
was firm, flat stomach.
Trousers tend
to make appear
a bulge as ugly
in the rear.
I cannot boast
of solid muscle
nor lay claim
to padded bustle.
Not for me
the dinging knit
nor any other
clothes that fit.
I find the kind
