itch

All the kids got the Seven-Year Itch. They had worms under their skin. I would rub crud oil all over their skin every night. Wash the sheet every day. Toots hands got so bad that I had to wrap her hand in crud oil. She could not use her hands to write. It took about three weeks to get rid of.

We moved down on the Calthrop place, which was down the White River, outside of Rangely, we spent the winter there. It was at the Calthrop place that all of us got lice. I jump all over Bud telling him that he brought the lice in. Bud said that he did not, that I had better look around and find out where they were coming from. Bud went to town and got us something for the lice. Chick would come down weekends, to the dances and he would stay overnight at our place. It was Chick that had brought the lice to our place.
