SMALL DOSES - Past & Present:
Painting the Prairie
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS, Special Correspondent
The breeze is perfumed with
the fragrance of sweetclover
bloom; the steady roar of a
tractor comes from a ripened
grain field as it makes the
rounds, harvesting the crop;
dun-gray spots gleam in the
sunlight on the distant bluff,
where wind and countless hoofs
have worn-awav the sod; yel
low flowers and meadow daisies
give their splash of color to the
summer green; butterflies with
wings that were dipped in the
nameless shades of the cocoon’s
mysterious laboratory; bees sip
ping nectar from cups of pearl
on white clover bloom: clusters
of silver - grey clouds lying
against the eternal blue of the
heavens; the shimmering silk of
] fluttering leaves in high tree
j tops . . . it’s midafternoon in
quiet prairieland.
• * *
The Amelia postoffice serves
three routes—a far cry from the
beginning of mail service at
that point, when the bag of mail
was carried on the back of a
sturdy pioneer, who walked the
38 miles to O’Neill with it.
• • •
A friend bearing the title with
scholarly dignity gave me this
definition of the word “emer
itus”: em — out; eritus — he
ought to be.
* * *
The Frontier introduces a new
word — “countyan,” that rather
grates on an acquired sense of
orthology.
