They Bite The Hand That Feeds
Them.
DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD:
Why is it every time I try to do
someone a kindness it backfires on
me?
It started years ago when my
husband and I were newlyweds. We
owned a Model T Ford, but at that
t4te we didn't own a washing ma-
chine My neighbor who did told
me that if I would drive her to the
other side of town to see her sis-
ter. she would do my laundry for
me.
This sounded like a good deal to
me, so I drove her everywhere, it
seemed, trying to locate her sis-
ter—which we finally did. Next day
I sent her my laundry and that
afternoon her two small daughters
came over with it. and said, "Ma-
4ft> wants a dollar for the wash-
ing!”
After our agreement. Imagine
that!
Then a few years ago a young
couple moved to town, needed a
house to live in, and as a friend of
mine had an empty house to rent I
persuaded her to let them have it
- although she didn't care to rent
it at all. What did the young couple
do? Left in the middle of the night
for the bus on which they set
out Monday morning at 6 a.m.,
on an 1800 mile 8-day motor trip.
From left to right appears: June
Wa.jfiM
owing a month's rent.
Next "friend”??? Well, she wrote
and asked me to try'and find her
and her husband jobs and a house,
they would be forever grateful as
they had no money, the kids were
out of school, etc. I called our boss
who got the man-a job, and I found
an empty house for them.
What was the result? From the
day they moved in they reviled the
people of the town, hated every-
thing and everybody, complained
about the house and the job, and
generally made themselves dislik-
ed by all.
I could go on and on, believe me.
but I guess you get the idea, Seems
to me it just doesn’t pay to be nice
to people. What's your idea?
DISGUSTEDLY YOURS

Lunsford, Nicki Lewter, and

just in a certain satisfaction of do-
ing them.
And I’ll wager something else—
and that is that you haven’t let
your series of discouraging en-
counters blight your other efforts
to help. Am I right?

P. S. But please don't think I’m
saying you shouldn't have been
plenty sore.
Grateful Mother.
DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD:
Let me thank your many kind
readers for the cards and favors
they sent our little 11-year-old son,
Gerry Spicher, Route 1, Nappanee,
Indiana. He received over a thou-
sand cards and was so very grate-
ful. He has been terribly ill again,
hope. Since I can't thank everyone
individually, I hoped you’d thank
them collectively.

Some lucky people I know can
beat the heat by taking off to the
mountains or sea shore...Jean and
Kirk Duncan have the pioneering
spirit, all right, and just returned
from a two week pack trip in the
Rockies. Dr. and Mrs. Gates went
along, and like to sq much they
stayed a little longer...The W. A.
Morgans mustered up their spunk
and loaded their station wagon with
tents and sleeping bags and headed
for the hills and Yellowstone Na-
tional Park...This idea appeals to
me tpr the return home should
bring a renewed appreciation of all
the comforts thereof!
Mrs. L. R. Miller and daughter
Greta are busily packing their
playclothes and beach attire for a
very glamorous sounding voyage
to the Hawaiian Islands. They plan
leave Pampa on the twenty-sec-
ond of this month, and Greta is
looking forward to visiting some of
her college chums that are attend-
ing the University of Honolulu
summer school...The last I heard,
father “Buck” hadn’t decided
whether to go fishing or meet the
family for the last week of the
vacation.
What a lucky day it was for me
whan I happened to meet Mrs. Ray
Fielding selling fried pies made
by the ladies of her church...Apple
(sprinkled with sugar and cinna-
mon), pineapple or apricot, and I
tried one of each—each of which
was a real taste treat, and certain-
ly Mother never made any this
good!! (Apologies to Mother)
My standby for summer desserts
usually leans toward the refrigera-
tor variety...One of the favorites
around this household is an apricot-
cream pie, the recipe I clipped
from a magazine years ago...Here's
the vital information needed for
this mouth-watering delight just in
case your family has a yen for the
apricot flavor...
