THE SALEMITE
Thursday, January 18, 1934.
There aren’t any hills around here,
the young people hitch up horses,
stand on the skis, and then let the
horse pull them along at a gallop.
It looked as simple as falling off a
log, so I tried it. I fastened my feet
■ the skis and grabbed hold of the
...ns; the horse started moving off,
but I couldn’t budge! The top half
of me was following the horse while
my feet and the skis were refusing
to be moved. Finally I fell ov.er—my
head was buried in snow and my feet
kicking wildly in space. The
saddest part was that I broke
EXPERIENCES OF A
HOUSEKEEPER
I’m sure Dorothy Heidenreich's
many friends will be interested tc
hear of her life at home. Dorothy
spent six years at Salem, attending
both the Academy and the college
During her senior year she was the
winner of the much coveted Jeanne
D’Arc French Medal which
tinct honor conferred on the most pro
ficient French student for the cur
rent year.
Dorothy’s home is now near Dur
bin, North Dakota, where she is keep
ing house for her father. Durbin was
originally a Moravian settlement.
Her father is a Moravian minister,
having several small churches under
his supervision, and he often preaches
in German.
The following paragraphs
quoted from a letter which Dorothy
wrote to JVIiss Lawrence and Miss
Riggan:
“The first week after Margaret left
I had to entertain all the ministers
(they meet at regular intervals, and
it was our turn.) It almost worked
out fine, but one family (which meant
five grown people) at the last minute
couldn’t come because of illness; so
father and I were eating left-overs—
chicken, dressing, riced potatoes,
creamed carrots, and tomatoes, for a
week afterwards. After that for two
weeks I had company straight—the
Bishop (Mueller), a minister and his
wife from Minnesota, and some people
from New Orleans. I just had time . “ j i. s

“going and coming.” So, now I feel It„,„ t
properly initiated and immune to any
“hostess worries.” The whole Salem
faculty could drop in unexpectedly,
and I still wouldn’t bite my finger-
“Winter is here with snow and zero
weather, but I don’t mind so much
because I beat it. The storm windows
were on, the fall housekeeping fin
ished; the vegetables out of the gar
den, and the tulip bulbs in. We'have
a heater in the car and if we getstuck,
father always gets out to push.
“People around here are butchering
now, and because I wanted the com
pany, the experience, and the fun, I
spent the day with a nice family. They
killed five hogs and one beef. I
watched tlie whole performance, from
the stabbing to the sausages. I never
realized before how clean and how
thorough a job it was. For one hog I
caught the blood and stirred it until
it got cold for “blut worst.” Then I
took out all the eyes. It sounds rather
gruesome, but it really wasn’t. I had
taken along one of John’s old aprons,
and I. felt very much like a surgeon
performing a serious operation. There
is a technique in doing it. They use
everything except the teeth, eyes, hoof
and the squeal. While I was bending
over the heads operating on them, I
noticed that everyone that came in
was laughing at me—and I couldn’t
understand why. Naturally I was
becoming not a little self conscious.
About a half-hour later I felt behind
me—and found the reason. Someone
had pinned a pig’s tail on the the back
of my apron! I must have been a
pretty sight bending over with the
tail wagging behind me.
“Whenever anyone butchers
brings some of the meat and sausage
to the parsonage; so now I have chic
kens, ducks, pork chops, spare ribs,
all kinds of sausage, beef steak, and
what not, buried in the snow until I
get time to can it. Last week I can
ned two quarts of chicken, and I’m
almost prouder of these two quarts
than I am of my French Medal-
though not quite.
“Because I had so much fun last
week butchering, and because they
vited me, I went to the same family
yesterday to help them pick ducks
for market. They could each pick a
duck in twenty minutes, but it took
me an hour a piece. By supper time
I had picked five ducks and a half a
goose. Picking a duck at home would
n’t have been any fun, but picking
with a bunch was almost like going
to aparty. Today my hands are so
sore, though, I can hardly hold the
pen. They picked the poultry dry,
because they wanted to use the
feathers, and you have to get a good
grip to pull out the feathers if the
duck or goose hasn’t been scalded.
“I’ve also had my first experience
with winter sports. It was skiing.
then I haven’t had
chance to try it out—tho’ I’m goir
learn how to ski if its the last
thing I do. Unfortunately everyone
the congregation knows the story,
d no one is very anxious to bring
around a horse and a pair of skis—■
ce I’m so hard on the latter.
‘There is almost a tradition that a
member of the pastor’s family (not
including dad, who teaches a German
class) teach the Young Peoples Sun
day School class. There are about
sixty in it—and the ages range from
fifteen to about fifty. Mother used
to teach it, Margaret and John both
have had their chance wtih it and now
I have inherited it. Monday evening
I begin studying for it and even Sun
day morning I’m scared about it. I
it hadn’t been for Dr. Rondthaler’
Bible lessons. I’d be helpless. I quote
him right and left so much that I
really should be paying hhn royalty
for his ideas.
“A very nice boy and girl ii
congregation got married—went to the
returning gave
adio for a mar-
riage fee. Now I don’t even mind
mending father’s socks, because I can
sit by the radio and do it. Also, two
families moved together, and not need
ing two pianos, they asked us if we
•ould like to keep one—and you can
uess that we didn’t say no. At first
was dreadfully lonesome, but now
with a radio to turn on and a piano
to pound on. I’m getting more
more accustomed to living alone
house with only father.
“If you want Dean Vardell to
a perfectly good night’s sleep—tell
him that I am the prize accompanist
in “these parts” and when people get
married they ask me if I will play
the organ for them. It’s really funny,
but I go and practice and practice,
and because they’ve really never heard
anyone that can actually play
honest-to-goodness organ, they tell
how nice it sounds and ask how many
years I’ve studied organ. I’m afraid
to tell them the truth for fear they’ll
suddenly realize how awful it
sounds.”

chiefly in his own country, of risking
good relations with Great Britain by
instructing the Reconstruction Fi-
Corporation to buy gold at a
London or other foreign
t of
centres. The Corporation,
improvised National Bank which the
President uses to carry out his orders
so as not to lose time instructing the
Federal Reserve; Banks, has so far
not taken this supposedly provocative
action. It has merely offered to buy
gold newly extracted from the Ameri-
mines, using for those purchases
each successive day in the past
week a price slightly over that of the
previous day. The President has tak
en pains to point out that this buy
ing of gold is a special and symbolic
action. “What are those paper dol
lars in your purse worth?” he ques
tions the citizen, though without quite
this directness of phrase. “Formerly
you could exchange them into a fixed
weight of gold. Now the gold stan
dard is suspended and you cannot.
But still you persist in thinking they
are worth something. Well, look what
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ls doing. Every day it offers
paper for gold. Every day then,
your paper must be worth less gold.
Can you really afford to keep it in
your pocket?” A year or two ago,
perhaps even a month or two ago,
by a mere hint of such proceedings he
would have sent commercially minded
Americans scampering to buy up
goods in a flight from paper money.
But not for nothing has it been drum
med into the American’s head—in jus
tification of the gold standard sus
pension—that the value of money
which matters is its purchasing power
over things. The American has in the
last week replied, “Thanks, we don’t
care whether gold is cheaper or dear

The President has accordingly failed
to storm the commodity markets, and
commodity prices have not been rais
ed, as he was sure they must be, but
actuall lowered. This has set his ad
visers searching for a way of driving
hom the lesson still more thoroughly.

CATES-ALLEN
WEDDING
An interesting event of the holiday
season was the marriage on Tues
day, Dec. 26, at 5:00 o’clock, of Miss
Helen May Allen, only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. D. Gray Allen, and Mr.
Wallace Cates, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
.. Cates, at the home of the bride’s
parents.
For this occasion, an improvised
altar was arranged at the end of the
: room against a background of
, draped with ivy and inter
spersed with spengeri ferns and poin-
settas. Intermingled with the ferns
and other greenery were lighted red
tapers carrying out the holiday color
scheme of red and green. Above the
altar was arranged a row of Christ-
bells. The stairway was carpeted
with white, and the banisters were
wound with ivy, tied with large red
bows and streamers.
The bride wore her traveling dress
of blue and eel gray, with access' '
to match.
Miss Allen attended school at Salem
Academy at Winston-Salem. Mr
Cates received his preparatory educa
tion at Central High School in New
port and is a graduate of the Univer
sity of Tennessee.
paper-trusters out of their lethargy!
If the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration does now begin buying gold
in London, the purpose will be not
to undercut British trade or French
or Dutch trade but to cause a hulla
baloo and startle the American
sumer Into buying. The dollar may,
in the course of this, be marked down
to the equivalent of four shillings.
Was British trade greatly affected
by all its fluctuations between five
and seven shillings? The Bank of
France may part with a few milloards
of gold. Does that matter? But
that will be a by-product of the real
struggle staged within the borders of
the United States.
