easy the newer models were to move about, as compared to the old style
on wooden rollers.

Then we were once more in the kitchen, much of which I had already
notes. Like the rest of the house, it was clean and neatly arranged.
The wood stove serves for cooking as well as heating. The breakfast set
was placed near the prettily curtained windows. The small sink also had
a cretonne curtain falling from around its base. Running water is supplied
by the company. Over the sink were shelves built for dishes. To one side
was a cretonne covered box which housed cooking utensils. The floor was
covered with brightly checked linoleum.

Near the back of the house was a well-built sanitary closet. The
flouors were of cement and a modern toilet had been installed.

Corneal also pointed out her small garden, stating: "I'd like to
have a larger garden where I could plant more things. We have collards
and rutabagas, but I'd like to have a big place for flowers, and more
things to eat. You know, the reason I'd like to have a bigger garden is,
that we don't have any too much to eat. Anyway it ain't enough to keep
up the physical strength in William, and he works hard. We make the
money stretch jest as far as we can, but it won't go no farther. We like
grits, bacon, and meats, along with plenty of vegetabls. We also likes
some can goods now and then. For myself, I like pies, pudding, cakes,
orange juice, grapefruit, and pineapple juice, but they ain't much chance
for it. But William, he jest don't make enough, yet I reckon we oughta
be satisfied."
