KAY LEIDING Extension Home Agent Winter weather is here at last. Sounds as If I had been anxious ly awaiting the arrival of snow and all that goes with our long cold spell In Nebraska. I haven'tl However, haven't you been planning some Indoor activities for the winter? I surely have. Many of our Christmas gifts this year are books or magazines subscriptions. Winter Is an ex cellent time to do that reading you've put aside because of more pressing demands on your time. An Italian proverb goes this way "No friend Is more faithful than a good book, nor a worse robber than a bad one." Someone has said that some books should be tasted, others cnewea ana swauuwea ana uig ested. This bit of advice Is very true with our current assort ment of literature on sale. One book I'd like to recom- mend for family reading this Winter is western oiury uy Charley O'Kleffe. It Is a true story of people adjusting to strange and hard environment they found in Sheridan County In the 1880's. The author, Char ley, tells of his boyhood impres sion of this new open country of few neighbors and exper iences with the Indians. . This gives a much different picture of the West than that portray ed on TV.
