Nyssa, Oregon Nov. 20, 1961 Editor Gate City Journal: More than 60 years ago Tillie came to our house for help. She had given a liberal dose of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup to each of her numerous brood. They would sleep late next morning. Then she had trudged through three miles of mud and fog to go to the Christmas eve masquerade dance, as a flower girl. She had eaten her way from a slim 15 to a 180-pound 25, and later beered her way to 300 pounds, making the pallbearers grunt as they bore her to an ear ly grave on the old hill. But now she wanted to be slender again, so she directed us to pull hard on her corset laces. So we pulled all we dared. Snort ing with disgust at our puny ef forts, she backed up to the bed post, hooked the strings over it and really leaned away, I was scared but tied the laces as she directed. hard on the economic corset strings . . . and look where the bulge came out! In one of last week’s issues of the Idaho Statesman, Senator Barry Goldwater said that the captain of the freighter that was taking him through the Panama canal told him that on his last trip he had carried 1300 Volks wagens. Looks like another bulge being ironed out. Wasle Seen in Fancy Can You and I have seen cars get larger and fancier with 300 gas- eating horses under the hood. Prices rose from $2000 to $4500, often for one lone person to ride in state. What an utter waste! How could people in ordinary circumstances get to their work? The answer came in the economi cal, long-lived little cars, eating little gas, made by thrifty Ger- mans across the ocean. Did that take bulge out of the big car manufacturers? Years ago, stevedores in Port- land struck to force wharf mas- ters to hire 200 unneeded dock workers and stopped ocean ship- ping all summer. The Willamette valley was paralyzed. Gasoline and oil trickled in trucks and tankers from California. It had come by sea before. Machinery Installed My brother’s 10 - cent lambs grew up to be 2-cent sheep.

But it’s it or not, tripped off to too bad for the steel workers. My Irish mother and I collapsed in helpless laughter, finally re covering to go on to church, which Tillie's coming had inter rupted. How many times since have I seen some Tillie bulge out some where because she was squeezed too tight in some other place!
