Nancy Hanks Lincoln died in her thirties, a tired, overburdened pioneer mother. Not one labor-saving device did she own. She spun the wool for the clothes and sewed them by hand. She washed on a board, cooked over a fire which she tended herself, groped her way about the windowless cabin in the un· certain light of the fireplace. She died 43 yean before her son was inaugurated. Somewhere in ,America today, another young mother is rearing a future president. Her household labors are lifted by electrical appliances. Electricity washes the clothes, cooks the food. cleans the rugs, lights the home. This mother will live to see her son in· augurated, her span of years lengthened by electrical service.
