The Dark Ages of My Youth by Ward Degler Pdf

When Ward Degler graduated from journalism school, his mother speculated he would become a world-famous war correspondent or, at the very least, editor-in-chief of an influential newspaper. He did neither. Instead, he became a columnist, giving him the opportunity to write about subjects that interested him while avoiding everything that didn't. In The Dark Ages of My Youth, Degler shares a selected collection of the weekly columns written for the Times Sentinel in Zionsville, Indiana, from 1993 to 2010. The essays explore the way things were, where we've been, and where we are going. He reveals the challenges of an eight-year building project that was supposed to be completed in three months. He narrates his bafflement in dealing with the world's most headstrong dog. With humor, he details the foibles and dilemmas of everyday living. And, he profiles the special people who have altered and enriched his life. From the simple to the complex, from the sublime to the silly, The Dark Ages of My Youth takes a charming walk through both the past and present.

The Art Of Laundry Work Practically Demonstrated For Use In Homes And Schools. by Florence B. Jack Pdf

The Art Of Laundry Work Practically Demonstrated' covers every conceivable element of the laundering process: washing, wringing, mangling, "blueing", ironing, starching, folding, and the methods of cleaning every type of garment from a boy’s sailor suit to muslin chemise and toilet covers... The author on ironing: "When ironing lift the iron as little as possible, and do not thump it down. Ironing should not be a noisy proceeding. Iron quietly, and at the same time press well... Handle the things so as not to crush the parts that have been ironed. There is quite an art in the way clothes are lifted and moved about." Laundering a gentleman’s silk tie: “If these have a lining in them, take a needle and thread and tack right down the centre to prevent the lining curling up inside, then wash then in the same way as other silks. Before ironing them, stretch well until the lining lies straight inside, then gently draw out the tacking thread. Ironing over the thread would leave marks on the silk”
