The reality should be that we acknowledge that there are many individuals under terrific eco- nomic stress; people are out of jobs other Retired people who have small retirement funds and are challenged each day by increasing expenses. For many the stress is invasive to the health of those who struggle to take care of themselves and/or fam- ilies. Overcoming continuous obstacles in their lives cause dis- tress and discouragement. Obsta- cles in many lives become doors that seem to close opportunities for a many. Having been born in 1937, I entered the world of my parents and the year of what became "The Great Depression." Did I know I was entering a world of challenge for my parents? No I was nurtured and loved by my parents and my Aunt Polly and Uncle Ralph who were unable to have children of their own. Both my parents and my Uncle and Aunt lived in the only available rooms located above a saloon in Idaho Springs, Colorado. My father worked at every kind of available job he could find, one was working for the Curnow Coal Company. My uncle Ralph was employed in the mines. Mother and Aunt Pauline worked in restaurants. Mother had to quit on the event of my birth. Food and companionship was shared by my parents and my aunt and uncle. Since I was still an infant, I learned about these "Depression" times as I listened to the tales of family members when I was a bit older. The conversations I heard were not always understood but as an adult I came to know the stress of "The Great Depression" and the search for work to sup- port those closest to us. As present family members and acquain- tances struggle with their need for adequate jobs I cannot wipe the memo- ries of past times for my parents, grandparents and aunts, uncles and cousins. For so many Carolyn Barber people the stress is taking control people’s well-being. Many cannot even afford to secure medical help when they need it most. The atmos- phere surrounding present times brings constant pressure on families to eliminate use of cars, as the cost of gas goes up. The menus in many homes have had to be cut to afford- able food as the costs rise. The limit of electricity use has become a necessity for many. To bring some of us out of denial that hard times are happening, read a small book titled: "The Great Depression," by R.G. Grant. This book presents the true look of hard times with both words and pictures. To those who have never under- stood the woes of the great depres- sion, this book presents a true pic- ture of lives in crisis. Today, I continue to remember the story of my Grandfather, Frank Fields who had a grain mill in Marion, Nebraska, he was a mem- ber of the local school board, the father of seven children, the hus- band of Elsie Storm Fields, an active member of the Presbyterian Church. He worked hard for his family until the dust storms invaded his home and mill, the depression began. Grandpa Fields had to send some of his older children away to other states to try to gain employment. The Fields family income had been blown away by the destroying dust storms. Grandpa Fields loaded the youngest of his children and his wife into the remaining car. Treasured items had to be auctioned off and /or left in Nebraska. The pipe organ that was so dear to Grandma Elsie was a treasure left behind in Nebraska. The Fields children each had a favorite song that Grandma Elsie played and sang with them each evening, my Mother, Marjorie Evelyn’s song was, "Sweet Eve line." Yes, hard times have come before and they touch many people in present hard times. In the 1930’s, Roosevelt had an impact on the morale of the nation. Millions of people felt that they had hope again-and that they owed this to President Roosevelt. The message is to keep up hope as we work our way through these continuing hard times.
