I received a letter from
Aunt Helen Ellison. She had
seen that I mentioned a
Wilbourn in one of my previ-
ous columns and wanted to
know if Julia (Wilbourn) Nixon
was related to her. Indeed,
they are related. I completed
some family group sheets and
ped igr ees of the Wilburn -
Wilbourn family for her.

our former pastors of the

great-grandmother, Seatta

daughter of Hiram and
Euphemia ‘Pharbia’ (Patrick)

of Isom Solomon Ritchie, my

father.

There has been a lot of

Our Fancy Swimming Poolby Clydene Overbey
By golly, we had a swim-
ming pool when I was a kid.
Yep, we were up there jiving
with the best of them. On hot
days Mama would draw wa-
ter from the well and fill a big
wash tub. The tub was placed
under the shady walnut treesin the front yard. Some people
had fancy ones shaped like
our modern bathtubs, but we
only had the tubs Mama used
for washing clothes. We
could play in or out of the
water splashing around like
ducks. Speaking of ducks we
had two white ones. They
loved our swimming pool too,
if they ever got a chance to
get in it.
In very hot weather an-
other tub of water was placed
in the sun and by the end of
the day the water was heated
just right for a bath. We were
not supposed to play in it.When we carried it inside to
the back room for baths we
usually had to skim the bugs
off the top. Younger people
might turn their nose up at
this, but you don’t know what
you missed.
Those old wash tubs were
used for so many different
things. On special occasions
they were filled with crushed
ice from the ice house and
Cokes were placed in the ice.
Wow! Those were the cold-
est Cokes I ever drank.
Yummy!
Any time Mama got a newone the old one was put to use
also. Water was put in them
to water the cow and horse.
Sometimes the top was cut out
for a shallow one to feed and
water the chickens. One with
leaks was used to sow tomato
seeds in the spring. Water was
added to keep the dirt moist
while they grew. Chicken ma-
nure was mixed in the garden
dirt and placed in the tub. No
potting soil and Miracle Grow
then.
Around the first of June
the tomato plants were
planted in the black dirt Daddy
had plowed up in the garden.
Later tender plants were cov-
ered with the tubs in the gar-
den if a late freeze was ex-
pected.
I can distinctly remember
putting my hands up to my
elbows in that dirt, chicken
manure and all, and playing in
it after the plants were re-
moved. Mud pies? Prooo-ba-
blee, did I taste the pies? I re-ally don’t remember! We were
allowed to be kids in the 50s
and we didn’t stay inside all
the time. Even in the winter I
remember being out more than
in.
Occasionally some women
would use a leaky one to plant
flowers in, but that didn’t hap-
pen a lot. Those tubs were too
useful for them to get rusted
out for just a flower pot. At
least that’s what my daddy
said and Mama agreed with
him.
We made use of every-
thing in as many ways as wecould. I have an old wash tub
hanging on a nail out on the
smoke house. People have
tried to buy it from me to plant
flowers in. No way! That tub
is going to hang right there as
long as I have anything to do
with it. So many sweet memo-
ries can be conjured up by just
looking fondly on that old tub.
“Do not store up for your-
sel ves treasu res on ear th,
where moth and rust destroy,
and where thieves break in
and steal. But store up for
yo urse lv es tr easu res in
heaven, where moth and rust
do not destroy, and where
thieves do not break in and
steal. For where your trea-
sure is, there your heart will
be also. (Matthew 6:19-21)
Tax holiday at UAFSTextbook shoppers can cut
their book costs during the
48-hour Arkansas tax-free
holiday on the first weekend
of August at the Lions
Bookstore at the University
of Arkansas/Fort Smith.
The Lions Bookstore will
participate in the annual event
that exempts textbooks, most
school supplies and clothing
from the Arkansas sales tax
(now 9.75 percent) on Aug. 3
and 4, according to Amy
Baker of Fort Smith, manager
of the bookstore in the Smith-
Pendergraft Campus Center.
Baker said the Lions
Bookstore will be open 7 a.m.-
7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3,
and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday,
Aug. 4. In addition, all Web
orders placed between 12:01a.m. Aug. 3 and 11:59 p.m.
Aug. 4 will be free of sales tax
charges.
“If a student decides to
rent a textbook or buy one of
the available digital books,”
Baker said, “there is a savings
of up to 50 percent off the new
book price, and then, when
you factor in the no sales tax,
this really adds up to some
huge savings for students
and parents. We have new,
used, rental and digital
textbooks available.”
In addition to UAFS
students wanting to savemoney, there are other groups
who might want to come to
campus, alumni and Christ-
mas shoppers, according to
Baker.
“For those who will be
attending UAFS in the
coming year, or those who
ju st want to show UAFS
school spirit, this is a
wonderful time to get the
items you want at a great
pr ic e. We ha ve a gr ea t
selection of UAFS logo items
for people of all ages,” she
said.
Baker said the bookstore
has a wide selection of school
supplies and UAFS logo
apparel items that qualify for
the sales tax exemption.
This is the third year for
Arkansas to offer a tax-free
holiday, which was approved
in the 2011 legislative
session.
A list of what qualifies,including clothing items
under $100 per item, can be
found at the Arkansas
Department of Finance and
Administration website,
www.dfa.arkansas.gov.
