May 8, 2000 was a big day for Macon County and “Northeast Missouri Grain, LLC”. That is the day the ethanol plant began operations in a new facility just east of Macon. There were 28 members at the time and the following 13 of those members are still there today. Ken Richi-son, Scott Warren, Darcy Anderson, Eric Basler, Glenn Peterman, Mike Primrose, Josh Thudium, Steve Sagaser, Doug Si-mons, Josh Greenwood, Joe Curtis, David Wolfe and Steve Burnett.
At that time NEMO Grain was the big-gest plant to be built by the Broin Com-panies. The original plant met its produc-tion goal (Nameplate) after only one week of running, and by the end of 2 weeks it had run a full 7 consecutive days with an average production rate exceeding 15 MGPY(Million Gallons Per Year).
The fi rst operations team members were trained under the leadership of Rob Broin and his brother Todd Broin. Todd was behind the automation and controls of the plant process. The new plant was very quickly able to increase and hold produc-tion at 17 MGPY and grounding 6 million bushels of corn in that fi rst year. Every-one worked very hard and also had many challenges along the way but with team work, perseverance and faith, as well as a great crew, the plant increased to run 21 to 23 MGPY up until 2003 when the fi rst expansion was completed. The plant now has a capacity of 46 MGPY, and it em-ployees 44 Team Members.
NEMO Grain was the fi rst ethanol plant to ever be built in Missouri. Board mem-bers John Eggleston and Grover Gamm worked tirelessly for many years to make the plant happen. Skeptics were plenti-ful as scores of locals would not dare in-vest in a plant they thought would not last more than six months. Other Agri-Busi-nesses in the state worked to prevent the plant from being built. “I was asked by a local realtor, “Are you sure you shouldn’t rent a place to live for the fi rst year? The “local talk” is there is not much chance the ethanol plant will ever make it”. Said Steve Burnett, General Manager.
The ethanol plant cost more to build than any plant or business within Macon County. This is still true today. POET Biorefi ning Macon has had a tremendous positive effect on the local and state econ-omy for the past 13 years, including the beginning construction phase that started
POET Biorefi ning Celebrates 12th Anniversary
in the spring of 1999. “The plants total economic effect in terms of jobs, equals over 1900 permanent full time jobs when all the “Trickle effect” jobs are included”, states Burnett.
POET Biorefi ning Macon has earned the distinction of being one of the largest companies in all of Northeast Missouri when measured by gross revenue and is respected as one of the very best places to work within all of Northeast Missouri.
Burnett stated he has lived and worked here longer than any other place in his life and says “God has truly held the reins of our destiny and I fully trust Him to con-tinue carrying the load for us in the fu-
ture”.POET offers its employees one of the
best benefi t packages in the area and has a very high employee retention rate. “We are very close to our employees says Bur-nett; when one of them needs something, we’re all here to help”. “I have been blessed to get to serve with our great team all these years”.
POET Biorefi ning Macon has just cel-ebrated its 12th anniversary on May 8th. Through all the trials, tribulations and on to the celebrations it remains a very strong force in Macon County and brings strength to the local economy.

Congratulations to our sectional qualifi ers: Cheyenne Shelmadine in Discus; Dominca Prokup in 100 and 300 Meter Hurdles; Jesse Ash-enfelter in the 110 Meter Hurdles; Seth Shurvington in 110 and 300 Meter Hurdles; Jean Fiquet in 200 Meter Dash ; Mike Kissee, Seth Shurvington, Jean Fiquet, and Jesse Ashefelter in 4 x 200 Meter Relay
Monday night May 7th the Wild-cats traveled to North Shelby to face the Raiders. Bevier came out on top with a fi nal score of 13 to 5. John Fi-quet had 2 singles and a double, McK-enzey Pipes, Jonathan Basler, Louie Fiquet, and Logan Christensen all had singles and Seth Shurvington had 2 singles and a double. Mckenzy Pipes pitched 7 innings and gave up 5 hits, walked 2 and struck out 7 batters.
On May 8th the Atlanta Hornets buzzed through Bevier and stung the Wildcats with a fi nal game score of 15 -0. Bevier’s McKenzey Pipes had a double and Jonathan Basler a single but no runs were scored.
Cat Scratch Fever hit Cairo on Thursday night as the Wildcats and Bear Cats played out the 7 innings ending in a 4 to 0 victory for the Bear Cats. Logan Christensen and Andrew Peter had singles. The Wildcats fi n-ished their regular season at 5-5. They travel to Keytesville on May 15th to play Northwestern for their fi rst game in districts.
Pictured is Spencer Hendricks waiting to steal a base during the Bevier vs. North Shelby game.
Due to a serious funding crisis, MO State Transportation Department lead-ers voted to eliminate 1200 positions statewide through attrition and trans-fers, closed three district offi ces, includ-ing Macon’s District 2 Complex and sold hundreds of pieces of equipment. This decision was devastating to the
employees, and our local economy. Our community is working to turn a devas-tating situation into a positive one…
Macon County, the City of Macon and Macon County Economic Develop-ment leadership, along with state and local MODOT leadership, developed a plan to create a business incubator/en-
trepreneur center utilizing the existing MODOT complex. The Macon County Innovation Center (MCIC) will help create jobs and opportunities within the Macon County area. The MCIC will provide business services including business plan writing, feasibility stud-ies, marketing assistance, procurement assistance, product development and fi -nancial planning. In addition, the MCIC will have offi ce and/or manufacturing space available to new or growing busi-nesses within our community. These businesses must be clients of the MCIC and utilize the resources provided, in order to occupy space. Onshore Out-sourcing is the very fi rst MCIC client.
The MCIC is governed by a four-member committee, including Presid-ing Commissioner, Alan Wyatt, Associ-ate Commissioner, Jon Dwiggins, City Administrator, Allan Muncy and Mayor Dale Bagley. Macon County Economic Development Director, Denise Ben-nett, will serve as a consultant to the committee. Macon County Economic Development will oversee the Center and together with the University of Missouri Extension offi ce and our local Small Business Technology Develop-ment Center (SBTDC), will provide the business assistance services.

the event vocalist. Na-tional Day of Prayer calls on all people of different faiths in the United States to pray for the nation and its leaders. It is held on the first Thursday of May each year. In 1775 the Conti-nental Congress allocated a time for prayer in form-ing a new nation. Over the years, there have been calls for a day of prayer,
including from President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. On April 17, 1952, Presi-dent Harry Truman signed a bill proclaiming the Na-tional Day of Prayer into law in the United States. President Reagan amend-ed the law in 1988, desig-nating the first Thursday of May each year as the National Day of Prayer.

Jacky Patrick has owned and operated Jacky’s Fam-ily Hair Care since Sept. 1995 Once she received her license she purchased an old building that had been empty for 30 to 40 years and only consisted of 4 walls and part of a roof.
“The area was a small junk yard” said Jacky.
Jacky’s favorite thing about doing hair is visiting with, who she called “Her Ladies”. Jacky said she is always learning something new from them.
Jacky has been doing
hair for over 17 years. She has clients from NC and FL that have moved away, but come back a couple times a year for her to do their hair.
Jacky keeps up with the latest by attending classes and receiving magazines
of hair styles. “Styles are always changing, but my young girls keep me up to date,” states Jacky

How many times have you had to change com-puters, cell phones, print-ers etc… in the past 15 years to keep up with technology? Todd David-son of Macon has owned and operated The Macon Cinema since opening the doors in August of 1996. In the past 15 plus years of operation, he has been for-tunate enough to use the same equipment today that he started out with. That has now come to an end. As with everything else the fi lm equipment is now outdated and all movies are in digital form. Cin-ema owners don’t have a choice and must upgrade to the new equipment and systems or close the doors.
This is the fi rst major upgrade the Cinema has
Digital Technology a Must or Busthad to do and as of May 18th the remodel and up-grade will be complete. What does this mean to us as costumers? Well, it means just this. Af-ter May 18th, 2012 when you walk in to the Macon Cinema, you will feel you have walked into an all new movie theater. Ev-erything from where you purchase your tickets to the design and layout. Todd has gone to the limit on making everything fresh so his customers feel they have stepped into a brand new theater. The movies will be more crisp, clear and brighter. The digital upgrade will allow the Cinema to play 3D and 2D movies. By download-ing the movies, instead of having to personally load
them from a reel, this will allow Todd to play the same movie in all three theaters at the same time. “When I wanted to play a movie in all three theaters, I rigged up a homemade pulley that would pull the movie from one theater to the other. There were always problems or the movie would get dust on it or crack the fi lm”. Said Todd
75% to 80% of all mov-ie theaters are owned by big companies and have several investors to eas-ily maintain and upgrade when there are changes. The other 15% to 20% are theaters are owned and op-erated by families and the maintaining and upgrades aren’t so easy to do.
Sonic Equipment of
Iowa was at the theater last week putting in the new systems as well as the following local con-tractors Steve Fuller, Jer-ry Thompson and Jason Clingsmith working on the remodel. Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Macon come in and installed all new lines and once the remodel is complete you will be purchasing your tickets the same time you order your refreshments. “This will save time and cut back on having to wait in line” states Todd
This remodel is a major one and the cost of do-ing something like this is astronomical for a family owned business. When Todd was ask about the total cost, he just stated “This remodel and up-
grade is costing more than the original set up in the beginning”. Most of the time when there is major upgrading or remodeling going on for a business, the cost has to be passed down to the customers. In this case, Todd is keeping the movie cost the same and not raising the price. The 3D movies will be just
$2.50 more. The extra cost for 3D movies include all the extra fees that go along with getting the movies as well as the special glasses that have to be worn.
This weekend, is open-ing weekend for the the-ater. What a great time to take the family out and see all that new at the Macon Cinema.

Camryn Teter, the daughter of Robbie and Chrissy Teter of Callao was the 1st place 25-35 month old baby at the Tri-County Christian School May Day activi-ties. Camryn went on to win Grand Champion Baby as well. She is the granddaughter of Billy and Betty Teter of Ma-con and Rick and De-nise Brown of Gibbs.
Every year during grad-uation time I always think about my days in school. For me it was a love hate relationship. I loved the sports and socializing, but I hated the work that always got in the way. I swore I wouldn’t need half the stuff we were learning in the real world. I just did enough to keep me in sports and other than that forget it!
You can bet, every chance I got, I stayed home. I found out that my mother was the skipping queen in Shelby County during her high school years so I guess I got it from her. The only dif-ference is when I skipped, most of the time I was with my mom! Getting a note was never an issue.
My senior year I had all the credits needed to graduate except 3 and 2 were electives. That year consisted of going to school at 7:00 am for bas-ketball practice, 1st hour was basketball practice, and 2nd hour was study hall so I stayed in the gym all hour then 3rd hour was home economics, which I hated! I felt I already knew how to cook better than most women and if anyone thought I was ever going to own a sewing machine… HA! Fortunately we were allowed to take our sewing projects home so I paid a lady in town that sewed for people to do mine. I know, but what can a girl do? I had to play ball so I
couldn’t get a bad grade.My senior year I left
school before noon and worked in Kirksville as the Coop Advertising Manager for the Kirksville Crier. It’s hard to believe I drove from Clarence to Kirksville every day for $3.94 an hour. That was when I was fi rst intro-duced to newspaper, who would have thought 26 years later I would be put-ting a paper out.
But the really interest-ing thing is now all the things I disliked in school, I now like or want to do. How did that happen? I love reading about his-tory and taking IQ test and quizzes. I am always tak-ing classes to improve or learn something and actu-ally enjoy sitting through them. It’s funny how life can take a curve and be-fore you know it it’s pulled a 180 on you.
Congratulations to all the area seniors and re-member life is a journey so while you’re preparing for your destination, make great memories along the way. Oh and for my high school teachers…..I’m sorry!
Power is a concern es-pecially for men. Before we purchase anything with a motor we want to know how much horse power we are getting. From tractors to lawn-mowers we will pay ex-tra for more power.
When choosing a place for you and your fam-ily to worship doesn’t it makes sense to choose a church that believes and demonstrates the power of God? We are not talk-ing about emotions run-ning wild. We are talking about a group that be-lieves God can and will change lives when he is sought. The scripture tells us that the church-es in the end time will have a form of godliness and will deny the power thereof. We are also told to stay away from these establishments.
We are challenging drugs, alcohol, pornog-raphy, and people with-out boundaries. We are outgunned in this war, and we can not win on our own strength. We must be associated with
the One who has power to change people places and things.
When Jesus enters into us he does so with his power. Mt. 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, say-ing, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth [everyplace]”. Je-sus also said “greater is he that is in you than he that is of the world”.
Jesus walked on the storm. When the storm comes up in our life it is important to have a relationship with the One who told the storm “peace be still”. When I asked Jesus to save me I had no use for a good program, good music, good preaching. I was out of power and going down the third time. I desperately needed the power to stay afl oat. I needed God to do for me what I could not do for myself.
It’s a scary world when we can’t defend ourselves.

Senior year!!! What an exciting time – but, some-times it can be confusing, too! On one hand you are cramming in a lot of social activity, and on the other hand you are fi lling out ap-plications to college. It’s like you have one foot in the present, and the other in the future.

Last weekend was the last meeting of Confer-ence Council on Youth Ministries (CCYM) with our graduating seniors. This meeting is always one of mixed feelings; sad to see them leave, thank-ful for all they have given to ministry in the Missouri Conference, and excited for what they will be do-ing in the years ahead.
It is important to honor and celebrate with our se-niors as they transition to a new phase in their life. Most churches will do something to recognize their graduation from giv-ing of gifts, breakfast, din-ners, roastings, parties,
Graduating High School Seniors Do Not Graduate From Church
and the list goes on.Sometimes though the
students and their families and the church sees this as another check off. We got them out of high school and they are now gone. There is very little con-tact between the students and the church. They do not connect with a church in the area where they go to school/work. Or they are staying home to work/school, but have few friends still around and even have little time be-tween work and school to cultivate new friendships. The church no longer has a place for them. Oh, maybe during Christmas
break they have a Sunday School class and a couple people show up.
This past weekend at a college conference they were talking about how scary the freshman year is. The church can be the one consistent place in their life. It is important for the home church to stay in contact. Have folks from the home church visit the college campuses, take the students for pizza, have the local church pastor, campus minister join in the pizza. Send the names and contact info to the campus ministers at the campus where students will attend. A contact list is on the web
site. If there is no campus ministry, contact the local church in the community. If you have students stay-ing at home attending ju-nior college, partner with other churches in the area and develop a campus ministry group. There are a few local churches that have begun to minister to
college students in com-munity colleges.
When students gradu-ate from high school, they do not graduate from the church. As we work to-gether through our con-nectional church, we can continue to make a dif-ference in the lives of stu-dents. We can continue to
celebrate the ministry that they can offer. The great-est joy as a parent is to see your children grow into adulthood. The greatest joy as a church is to see our youth continue to be in ministry and make a dif-ference in the world.

Good Luck In YourFuture Endeavors!
Finding ways to pay for college, especially if you’re a high school stu-dent looking forward to that fi rst year on campus, isn’t easy. But there is a wealth of options out there for you if you do your re-search. A good strategy is to start looking at where you’re going to come up with college funding early, as deadlines will be important for you to pay attention to as you navi-gate the fi nancial aid ap-plication process. Explore the resources available to you by fi lling out that fi -nancial aid application for FAFSA-based funding, looking to your intended college for college-based funding, investigating pri-vate loans and alternatives outside of federal student loans, and considering working through school if you can balance employ-ment and college. Browse through our site to fi nd college funding options that will fi t your needs and help you pay for that de-gree. And don’t forget the most desirable source of funding – college scholar-ships – that you won’t ever need to pay back. Conduct a free scholarship search on Scholarships.com to see awards that you’re eligible for that could help ease the stress of fi nding college funding.
FAFSA-Based FundingThe Free Application
for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, will be one of your fi rst steps in deter-mining where you’ll need
College Funding
to go next as far as supple-menting your fi nancial aid package. Most federal aid programs will require it, and most colleges won’t consider recommending fi nancial aid opportunities to you without it. Applica-tions are available start-ing January 1st of each year, and are available online for faster process-ing. Once your applica-tion is processed, you’ll receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) back that will show you the FAF-SA-based funding you’re eligible for. The college funding determined by the FAFSA will include Fed-eral Pell Grants and other need-based grants, Federal Stafford Loans, the Par-ent Loan for Undergradu-ate Students, or PLUS Loans, and campus-based aid such as Federal Work-Study opportunities and the Federal Perkins Loan program.
College-Based FundingCollege-based fund-
ing will more often than not also be determined by what you fi ll out on your FAFSA. Work study programs (where the pay-check you make at an on-campus job goes directly toward your tuition and fees), the Federal Per-kins Loan program and the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant fall into the campus-based aid funding catego-ry as they are distributed directly by the college. Colleges will require more information about you and
your parents’ fi nances than federal programs, mean-ing the difference in fund-ing from your college and the government could be substantial. Still, your in-tended college will also be a good source for schol-arships and grants avail-able only on that campus, especially if you have a stellar academic record or other abilities and charac-teristics desirable to the college. Put some thought into the kind of program you’d like to pursue, as many colleges will of-fer awards based on your fi eld of study. Try out a free college search to see what your intended col-lege offers, and the kinds of scholarships and grants awarded there.
Private Loans and Al-ternatives
For students who have exhausted other sources of college funding, pri-vate loans may be the answer. While they once were scarce, private loans have become increasing-ly common over the last two decades, and despite problems lenders faced during the latter part of the 2000’s, they are likely here to stay. Traditional bank-based private stu-dent loans are the most common option, but they are not the only one avail-able. Credit unions also offer student loans, often at very competitive inter-est rates. State higher edu-cation agencies, as well as some philanthropic organizations may also
offer student loans to cer-tain groups of students. Fi-nally, new student lending alternatives are emerging constantly, including web-based services that match students with private indi-viduals interested in help-ing fund their college edu-cations.
Employment and Col-lege
Like private loans, the role employment plays in college funding has shift-ed over the years. While it used to be common for students to work their way through school and emerge debt-free, now employ-ment is increasingly used as a means to cover col-lege living expenses. De-spite this shift, however, employment still plays an important role in college funding. College employ-ment can still help mini-mize your student loan debt by helping cover your living expenses. A college job can help you gain ca-reer experience that will provide a boost to your hir-ing prospects or possibly guide your career path in a whole new direction. It can also help prep you for the “real world” by providing a crash course in time and money management. There are important things to keep in mind while work-ing, though, such as bal-ancing work and college and fi nding employment that be benefi cial to you in both the short-term and long-term.
It’s graduation time. That means party time, which means game time. Here are some games that can be played at the graduation parties of graduates of all ages.
The balloon game re-quires balloons and mar-bles. One marble should be placed into each bal-loon before it is infl ated. Guests are divided into pairs and given four bal-loons to keep in the air as long as possible despite the weight inside them. The pair that does so the longest is the winner.
The blind obstacle course game requires an obstacle course and blindfolds. Guests are divided into pairs. One guest in each pair must try to run through the ob-stacle course blindfold-ed, listening to the direc-tions of their teammate. The pair that does so the fastest is the winner.
The blind object game requires a box, house-hold objects and blind-folds. Various objects are placed into the box. Guests are then blind-folded and must try to identify the objects in the box by touch. The guest with the most correct guesses is the winner.
The boat game re-quires a pail of water, straws and small boats that fl oat. Guests take turns trying to blow their boat to their opponent’s side using the straws. Play continues in rounds until only one player re-mains. That person is the winner.
The chopsticks game requires bowls, chop-sticks and 10 pieces of rice or candy per guest. Guests try to put the rice or candy, one piece at a time, into their bowl as fast as possible. The guest that fi nishes fi rst is the winner.
The fi shbowl game requires small goldfi sh bowls and balls. The bowls are arranged on a table. Guests are then given some balls to try to throw into the bowls from a set distance. The guest that puts the most balls in the bowls is the winner.
The memory game requires household ob-jects, a sheet and pens and paper. The objects are placed on a table and guests are given one minute to memorize where they are. The ob-jects are then covered up
Game Timeand guests must write down where everything was. The guest that re-members the most is the winner.
The octopus game re-quires no supplies. One guest is selected to play the octopus, while the others are fi sh. The oc-topus tries to tag the fi sh and turn them into an octopus. Play continues until only one fi sh is left. That person is the win-ner.
The photo game re-quires guests to bring old photos of themselves. The photos are placed where everyone can see them and guests must guess who is who. The guest with the most cor-rect guesses is the win-ner.
The pin the mustache on the teacher game re-quires a blown up photo of a teacher and mus-taches made from black construction paper. The game is played just like pin the tail on the don-key. The guest that gets the closest to pinning the mustache in the right place is the winner.
The scavenger hunt game requires a variety of household items. The items are hidden around the house, either indoors or out. Guests are then given a list of the items to fi nd in a set amount of time. The guest with the most fi nds is the winner.
The string game re-quires two rolls of string with a key attached to one end. Guests divide into two teams and each sits in a row. Teams then try to string them-selves together, thread-ing the string through their clothing. The fi rst team to do so is the win-ner. Another take on the game is to have the teams try to get unthreaded.
The teacher game requires notes with the names of teachers. Each guest is given a note and must ask each other yes and no questions about the teacher on their notes. Guests then try to guess who has what teacher on their note. The guest that names the most teachers wins.
Graduation parties should be fun. Playing these games or ones like them will make any par-ty just that. Keep in mind that all games should be age appropriate, and in some cases, adult super-vision may be necessary.

In these tough economic times, many families may need additional money to help pay for college. Federal and state fi nancial aid programs may not be enough. Seeking and applying for pri-vate scholarships from non-profi t foun-dations and other organizations may provide the extra help needed. Here are some suggestions about how to fi nd le-gitimate scholarships.
“Like” the MDHE’s Facebook page, Journey to College, and visit its scholar-ship section often. The MDHE is often
Missouri Department Of Higher Education College Search Tips
notifi ed when new private scholarships are available or when a scholarships’ application period opens, and this infor-mation is added immediately to Journey to College.
Follow the MDHE’s tweets via Twit-ter, and have these communications sent to your cell phone. The MDHE commu-nicates scholarship information as well as other resources for students and their families.
Ask businesses, community groups, schools, and religious and civic organi-
zations in your local community or state about scholarship opportunities.
Check your local library for scholar-ship books.
Keep looking! The more you search, the greater your chances of fi nding ad-ditional programs.
Keep the following tips in mind when using the Internet or a scholarship search organization:
Be cautious of scholarship scams. Contact the Federal Trade Commission for more information.
Do not provide credit card informa-tion to use a free scholarship search.
Read the fi ne print carefully. Many online fi nancial assistance search ser-vices request information about you so they can fi nd fi nancial assistance pro-grams for which you may be eligible. Some of these companies may send you information about other services that they provide or sell your information to another company.

Life in the country has been exciting this week-end. We were invited to a birthday party and what a nice get together it was. Floyd Teter turned 50. We arrived at 5 o’clock and parked in the back yard. We walked up to the shop, a building that holds many supplies for Teter Plumbing, the family busi-ness, where cooking was already underway. They had big roasters full of fi sh and potatoes. I was impressed right off the bat because I know for a fact that most of those fi sh were caught by Floyd’s son, Wade. Not to mention that Wade and his brother were cooking them. The food was carried inside and on the table that stretched as long as the building, was a spread of food fi t for a king. There was ev-erything; ten-derloin, beans, salads of all kinds, deviled eggs, baked potato dishes and cakes lots and lots of cakes. We all stood as Mr. Peter, Mar-sha’s dad, said the blessing. After that we gathered in a line and visited as we waited to fi ll our plates. Af-ter eating a wonderful meal, the women gathered to swap stories and some of us found our way to the cake table to test the desserts. The men mingled and visited as they usually do. The sun had gone
down by this time and the air was a bit cooler which made conditions very pleasant. As I was listening to stories of the past, I looked up and saw the younger two Teter siblings, one was in the wagon and the other was pushing it down the hill in the drive-way. The wagon shot down the hill at a high rate of speed with the sound of gravel crunching under the wheels of the wagon. I was glad that he didn’t wreck the wagon on the gravel as we had all stated as we sat in the group. So I was surprised to see the boys set-ting it up to go again, or was I? They had hillbilly golf set up. Marsha had so many things for the chil-
dren popsicles, glow sticks, trail mix, and candy. She tru-ly went all out to make sure the kids had something to do. I enjoyed myself so much. People started leaving a few at a time. So it was time that I headed home as well. I gathered the kids and one nephew later was on my way home, which is, as the crow fl ies maybe a
mile. There is nothing better than gathering with friends and family over a buffet of food in some great weather. Happy Birthday Floyd Teter and thanks to the Teter family for some great hospital-ity. That’s Life in the Country.

Our street, Kingsland Rd. had a population of approximately fi ve hundred people and one car that belonged to the school headmaster. The teachers were very strict which was good because we all behaved, rather than get slapped with a ruler. We all started school in the infant class, the age was four, and you could not hold a child back or else the truant offi cer would pay the parents a visit. I loved school from the time I started I was hungry to learn and rise above the poverty level which we were in, as were most of the people during the war.
My three sisters were working now and jobs were plentiful because of the war. Bella, May and Kathy had to pay room and board to mother. Before long the oldest two were married and we had more room in the house and less bodies in the beds.
The rooms in the English houses were very small, especially the living
Life and Times of Jean Emily Clark Ray Part III
room which consisted of a small leather couch, dads chair and some plain wooden chairs around a big rough table. You only got comfortable when you were sick because you were allowed to have the couch all to yourself and the fi re lit.
All we had for heat was a small fi replace where we burnt coal. It was lit in the morning for dad and put out before we rose for school, our parents did not waste anything or indulge us kids with a little heat or breakfast.
We did not have much time to wash because there was no heat in the kitchen. We just threw our clothes on and off to school which was a four mile walk. As we walked along the street we would pick up more kids and played as we went to school. I know I have painted a dismal picture of my life but I was a happy kid most of the time. Playing marbles, hop scotch and sliding was my entertainment. My brother George and
I loved nature study and spent hours bird watching and walking in the country lanes identifying fl owers, trees and whatever else we would fi nd interesting.
Sometimes mom would give us a bag of potato peelings which we would take to the farm house in exchange for one egg. We were lucky to get it home in one piece. We spent hours away from home and loved nature and the outdoors. We even took parsnips.
I remember our Bobby and I going to the gospel center church down the road to listen to the singing. Soon we found out that they provided cocoa and biscuits for everyone attending and we became regulars, for the wrong reason, but who knows there may have been a seed planted that started us thinking about Jesus. That little church was like a lighthouse to us providing warmth and food and I will always be grateful for it. To be Continued…..
