2 Ma Commons recalls the 'SOs

Because "ties with the past are essential" to her, Mrs. Irene Eaton took many UNI memories with her when she moved to Guam last fall. Known as "Ma Commons", Mrs. Eaton was the hostess at the UNI Commons from 1937 until 1972. She has left Cedar Falls, but there are hundreds of alumni who remember her and she remembers hundreds of them in return. At a feisty 75 years of age, Mrs. Eaton changed her world. Her son, his wife and four children who have lived in Guam 10 years, built a new home and Mrs. Eaton joined them. During her time at the Commons, Mrs. Eaton's favorite years were the late 1940's and 1950's after the Gls returned from World War II. "They brought an invigorating movement to the campus. They'd returned from many branches of the service and shared experiences covering the Pacific to the Atlantic," she recalls.

13 was frost on the wall above the bed in the kitchen the entire winter. She also remembers her mother hanging sheets as room dividers. She said "We didn't use calico because it was too expensive and it was considered 'toney' for pioneers." In the Archer family, the mother remembered that their first cabin had no door. They did not have the lumber available to add a door to the cabin so the first winter had to be spent without it. She decided that the only thing she could do was tack a quilt over the door which was effective in keeping out most of the snow but of little help against the wind. For obvious reasons, most of the settlers tried to get into a fairly solid cabin very quickly. The typical cabin was one room about 16 by 18 feet. All of the family lived in that one room and all of the family tasks were carried on in that room-cooking, sewing, washing, even the laying out of the dead. These cabins were Mrs . Selma Paine, and ISTC student in 1915, remembers when she helped difficult to build because Iowa was her mother grind sausage on a grinder like the one she holds. The round not rich in lumber.

Quite often they Even though they could buy the globes so they could be ready for use used wool or flax and the first step cloth, the women still did all of the that evening. The cooking, which included both processing and preparing of food, was also the task of the women of the household. In the early years, the cooking was done in a kettle over an open fireplace. The kettle was attached to a crane which was pushed in and out of the fire . They also used a covered iron bake pan which was much like a Dutch oven. It was buried in the live coals and it was said that the women were so skillful they could roast a fowl , fry a steak or even bake corn dodger in that kind of oven. They were also skillful at baking bread on a board turned to the open fire . When they made bread, they spread a johnnycake board with the dough, tipped the board on its side facing the heat, and then kept turning it until the bread was browned and ready for the family.

In addition to all these jobs, it was the woman's task to be the doctor, the nurse, the apothecary, and the mortician since these people were unavailable on the frontier. Each woman had a doctor book or a receipt book or, perhaps, her own remedies on which she depended. The worst time of the year was winter in Iowa and this was when the women did most of their doctoring. They often used herbs which they either grew themselves or gathered. They brewed them into tea which was the most common way of taking medicine; made them into poultices, or dried the herbs and put them in a little cloth bag to be worn around the Although modern day jeans allow women more freedom of movement than children's necks to ward off illness. corsets, bustles and hoop skirts, jeans don't make the waist look as small.
