20th wedding anniversary this
year, a feat few show people can

celebrates hts

brag about... Perry~s wife is the
former Roselle Belline, a non-professional who was. his. childhood
sweetheart -.| One cannot help
but compare Perry with Frank
Sinatra... He, too, married his
childhood sweetheart, but she did
not prove glamorous enough for
him when success came his way
~+. Como is unusual in that with
him: his family comes before his
career and if.ever that career
interfered with a normal home.
life he would give it up for his own
barber shop without hesitation.
Recently, Perry refused a fabulous offer of $25,000 per week for
a two-week engagement at a Las
Vegas gambling bistro, an offer
difficult for any performer but him
to turn down~... He is perfectly
content to fave |his radio and television shows and make records as
|pocket money, which is nice
enough going at that since most
of his discs are in the hit category
The Comos have three chilidren~Ronnie, 14; David, 8, and

"T REMEMBER~
p| BY THE OLD TIMERS

Lewis
From Lonnie E. Legge,
burg, West Virginia: I remember

when the
coffee mill would awake me long
before daybreak, Dad:always
arose at four the vear_ round,
helped to get.and eat breakfast,
then sit around for hours waiting
for, daylight. The coffee we used
was bought green and roasted.at
home in the oven. It was cheaper
(8c a pound) than already roasted
coffee. Dad said, anyway, ~~they
roasted the life out of it. ** Mom
always: put an egg shell each morning, in the eotre ~to settle the
gr und. "

~vveryone hada cane patch and
made~ their own sorghum molasses. It ~was used for more things
than bread-sopping, too. A gallon
or: two was put in a kettle of
apple- butter, helping to sweeten
the butter, giving it. better flavor,
and a richer, redder color.

All our sugar, coffee, salt and
soda,. which was about ull we
bought, from the store, was paid
for, in eggs; but at Easter we were
allowed ail the ten cent a dozen
eggs we could eat. One Easter I
ate thirteen, fried, boiled and devfiled.

People never went, anywhere
much. Traveling was-so bad they
wore themselves out going. and
couldn~t enjoy themselves after
they got there.

No woman today will be caught
with a dirty apron ons; Once, they
wore them to church,::along with
the ~poke bonnet;~~~ which projected so far the woman~s face could
hardly be seen, Those were the
good old days~or were they?
