HONORABLE MENTION PERSONAL RECOLLECTION THE BEST EVER Ruth D. Scow 94 Uest 400 South Manti, Utah 84642 World War 1 had commenced and the U ¦ 3 * was get t ing advised to buy war stamps and save our monies for just such a purpose. That year we were studying the art of poetry and making words rhyme. My mother helped me to write: It's the dimes that make the dollars, And every little mite, When all is put together, When we had saved a full book of twenty-five-cent stamps we could exchange the book for a $25.00 war bond. I sacked flour called White Rose. This was a product of the Mayfield Roller Mills, managed by John S. Mortensen. The flour was brought home to put on the hanging shelf in our cellar. The U. S. entered World War I April 6, 1917. Manti sent 127 boys to serve their country, and five were killed too high or be nice and light. Even though ray mother tried and tried with other yeast, different kneading and baking, the bread was always soggy and heavy and dark. Time after time, her six-loaf dripper of bread came out of the oven the same way. 64 |
