locality it is alleged and most of the women admit it i started knitting when i was a boy of eight said mr ogden but i had to teach myself i hid in the barn while i was doing it because any boy caught knitting in those days would be severely disciplined why even today the women seem to think they should do all the knit ting personally i think machines would serve just as well and have time mr ogden spent most of his life as a farmer in the unionville area knitting has been strictly a sideline he is turning over his present knit ting output to the local red cross organization they sent me an instruction book but i cant follow it said mi- og den i taught myself to knit and i have a system all my own when i start reading the book i dont know how to follow it so i just keep on knitting in my own way until two years ago mr ogden was active in farm work and even now takes care of an acre plot with chickens and other small stock his wife does the housework at the cosy home and both are
