Jehovah's Blessing Has Enriched My Life/AS TOLD BY MELITA JARACZ

I WAS born in `927 in the little town of Wakaw Saskatchewan, Canada.  Dad and Mom had seven children, four boys and three girls, so I came to know early in life what it was like to be with people. 

Our family felt the effects of the desperate economic times of the 1930's known as the Great Depression . We were not wealthy, but we did not lack food. We had some hens and a cow, so we were never out of eggs, milk, cream, cheese, and butter.  As you can imagine, all in our farm family had chores. 

I have many happy memories of that time, such as the sweet fragrance of apples filling the room. You see, when Dad went to town in the autumn to sell farm produce, he often returned  with a box of freshly picked apples. What a treat  it was for each of us to have a juicy apple every day!
