The grand finale

Such spirit, such joy, so uplifting to the audience and to the participants.

one of the stars-Ethel Hardwick

My friend, Ethel Hardwick, was in two of the numbers on the program this one being the number,"puttin on the ritz'.

Ethel put off her second surgery for colon cancer in order to be in this event so dear to her heart. Two days after the show she went in for the second outpatient surgery. She will begin chemo again in April.

Knowing that she could do the show lifted her spirits and carried her through these difficult times.

Talent galore

All of these talented people lifted the spirits for an audience of over 500 for the afternoon performance and also a large number for the second show.

If you can't find anything to do in Sun City-the fault will usually be found within one's self.

NURSERY DITTIES.
SING a Song of Sixpence, a pocket full
of rye,
Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a
pie;
When the pie was opened, the birds be-
gan to sing :
Was not that a dainty dish to set before
a King ?
The King was in the counting-house,
counting out his money ;
The Queen was in the parlour, eating
bread and honey ;
The Maid was in the garden, hanging
out the clothes,
By came a blackbird, and snapped off
her nose.
NURSERY DITTIES.
Hark, hark.
The clogs do bark,
The beggars are coming to town ;
Some in jags,
Some in rags,
And some in velvet gown.
The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts
All on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts
He stole those tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts
Call'd for the tarts,
And beat the Knave full sore ;
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vow'd he'd steal no more.
NURSERY DITTIES.
Ride a cock-horse
To Baiibury Cross,
To see a fine lady
Upon a white horse.
Rings on her fingers,
Bells 011 her toes,
She shall have music
Wherever she goes.
See-saw, Margery Daw,
Jenny shall have a new master ;
She shall have but a penny a day,
Because she can't work any faster.
NUESERY DITTIES.
Little Tom Tucker
Sings for liis supper :
What shall he eat ?
White bread and butter.
How shall he cut it
Without e'er a knife?
How can he marry
Without e'er a wife?

low rider

Some people just have two much time on their hands so from assorted parts they created the first Allis Chalmers low rider.

Allis Chalmers-wc

When I was teaching school in Minnesota I had two tractors like this one to pull the hay balers that I operated during the summer months. I first had two John Deere wire tire balers but later had more effiecient New Holland balers. twine tie instead of wire.
I had about 2o acres around a old Great Northern railroad stock yard and water reservoir where I kept ewes and a nice quarter horse.
The students at school couldn't belong to the 4-H club unless they had a project so I signed 12 individual bank loans for students that wanted to belong and I provided a site for their projects,usually a ewe. The banker would sit down with each student and tell them of their responsibily on these $4.00 loans.

I also visited a hatchery one day and they were about ready to drown about 500 domestic ducks that they had so the let me have the works for $5,oo
I didn't make any money on them but many of the people town had a nice thanksgiving as I was teaching in far away Tucson, Arizona

John Deere "A"

Our 1941 model "A"was similiar to this tractor only it was a row crop front end where the front wheels are close together.
My father bought it new in 1941 for our farm near Hills, Minnesota. Until we bought the tractor we had 12 work horses in the stalls of the barn.
There were little padcocks on each side that you opened to enable your to turn the fly wheel over in order to start the tractor on models before 1941 that didn't have self starters.

Don't criticize the farmer with your mouth full

Tractor pull days

The model farm behind the Glendale library holds a tractor pull twice a year.
Fortuanately I was at the library and heard the put-put-put of the John Deere tractors so I got my friend, Ethel,and we attended the event-Great event.
