Just ome word¥but it contains the whole philosoph¥ of life for Mrs. Sarah E. Mills, known ef- fectionately as “Mother Mills”. Mrs. Miils has just celebrated her 87th birthday annivereay and when inter- viewed told a Herald representative that keeping busy was the surest way to live long and die happy. Mrs. Mills spends most of her time between the home of her son A. A. is of this city and her daughter and the latter’s husband, Mr. and Mrs, Fred Griswold of Cromwell. She _was born in Rocky Hill and lived for 15 years in Newington. Her husband, Gustavus D. Mills, died 24 years ago, leaving a widow amd eix children. Among the children is A. A. Mills of this-city, treasurer of the Rotary Club, first vice president of the Chamber of Commerge, chair- man of the mercantile bureau and president of the Master Plumbers' Others are Harry G. Mills of Hasbrook, N. J.,, Warren W, Mills of Newton, Conn., John Q« Mills of Weste! Rhode Islagd, M W. 0. Hayden of Windsor and Mrs. . W, Griswold ot Cromwell. Mre. Mills today has children and three children. Mrs. Mills says a person is only as old as he or she feels. When she lost her husband, who died rather suddenly, she was shocked and for a time lost all interest in life. She finally reailzed that she should haye diversion and came to the sion that the best way to kecp young was to keep busy. “When 1 keep busy 1 am happier,” she said, paring a pan of apples for an apple pie, as she spoke. Asked what she thinks of modern tendencies to extreme in dress and styles, Mrs. Mills said she can under- stand how it might be wise for some great * grand ! girls to bob their halr, but felt that many did it because it was a fad. Of the extreme short skirts she said they were ridiculous. 8he said she read a newspaper headline a few days ago which spoke of “An aged man.” Reading farther down she was much amused to find that the “aged man" was a young- ster of 63.
