It's A Very Small World
That We live In Todav
By Mrs. N. D. Ickes
The fact that it is rather a
small world after all was dem
onstrated recently at Orange,
Calif., when former Pageites met
altogether without intent at a
golden wedding observance of
people whose names meant noth
ing to the guests traveling there
to meet a former acquaintance
who used to live at Orchard.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Brownell,
parents of Mrs. Jerry Lamason
of Page, and her brother-in-law

\
and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Don
Lautenschlager, formerly of Or
chard, traveled . to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Will Moran at
Orange, Calif., where they had
been asked by Mary Leiding to
meet her at the home of
her aunt fotf-V visit while she was
attending the anniversary festiv
ities.
Upon their arrival they were
introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Mor
and, the honored guests and were
greeted by “I’ve hardly been
able to wait Until you came to
find out all you know from Page
that I used to know” and they
found time to reminisce iback
over the years and refresh their
memories concerning Page in the
early part of the century when
Mrs. Moran, then Eckle Brown,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will
Brown, was a girl and lived in
the home now occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. I. O. Wood.
Her father, Mr. Brown, had a
harness shop and sold New Royal
sewing machines. When they left
Page Nels Coover bought out the
sewing machine agency and one
of the machines is still operating
perfectly in the home of Mr.
Coover’s daughter, Ethel Park.
Among Eckle’s friends were
Louella Harper, Maud Reed, Eth
el Coover, Bessie Stewart, Elsie
Gray.
Eckle was married to Will Mor
an while at Page and went to
Emmettsburg, la. Soon the fam
ily also were gone and eventual
ly lost"'track of as is the way
acquaintanceship s flourish and
die with the stress of present
day problems.
-_i
The Morans moved to Califor
nia twelve years ago. Because
she had never had the time to
count the four-leaf clovers she
had collected as she brought tie
brought the cows from pasture
and went about the farmyard
chores she took them with her
and was astounded to find she
had over 5,000 of the little plants
pressed between the leaves of
books.
Californians are hobby minded
and a friend suggested that Mrs.
Moran capitalize on four-leaf clo
vers for a hobby.
She is glad she did since the
collection and display has brought
her publicity through newspa
pers, appearances over radio and
tv and she has entered them in
hobby shows and fairs and taken
many prizes.
Mrs. Moran displays her clo
vers on 5 by 7 foot boards. She
features a 4-leaf clover signature
and is shown with the Queen of
the Fair and her aid at the
Orange County Fair.
Her collection earned a spot on
Ripley’s Believe It or Not and
the idea was suggested by Ed
die Cantor. She also appeared on
the Steve Allen show.
Thus did Pageites clasp a
hand of friendship across the
miles and bridge the years with
recollections of the long ago
while they also made the ac
quaintance of a strange never-be
fore-heard of hobby-four-leaf clo
vers.
