prompted many depositors to remove their funds from banks. Problems became
so serious in the state of Michigan that Governor William A. Comstock was forced
to declare a moratorium on all banking activities in the state on February 14,
1933. The panic in Michigan quickly spread to other states, and by March 6,
President Franklin D. Roosevelt had declared a banking moratorium throughout
the United States that left the entire country without banking services.
Congress immediately met in a special session to solve the banking crisis

The stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately 2 million
B.C. and lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and
3
weapons that modern scientists found. This period was divided into the
Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages. During the first period (2 million to
8000 B.C) the first hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were
developed. As the result of the Ice Age, which evolved about 1 million years into
the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing,
and develop new tools.
During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C), people made crude pottery
and the first fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed the bow and arrow,
which were used until the fourteenth century A.D.
The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C) saw humankind domesticating sheep,
goats, pigs, and cattle, being less nomadic than in the previous eras,
establishing permanent settlements, and creating governments.

A quilt is a bad cover made of squares of material pieced together. Each

square consists of two layers filled with a layer of wool or cotton cloth,
feathers. Or down. Often, the squares are decorated with fancy stitches and
4
designs. According to legend, the earliest pieced quilt was stitched in 1704 by
Sarah Sedgewick Everett, wife of the governor of the Massachusetts colony. By
1774 George Washington was buying quilts in Belvoir, Virginia, to take back to
Martha in Mount Vernon. As the frontier moved westward, quilting went along.
In addition to sleeping under them, homesteaders kept out drafts by hanging
quilts over doors and windows. And if the money ran out, quilts were used to
pay debts.
For isolated pioneer women, quilts were a source of comfort. Mary
Wilman, whose family moved to Texas from Missouri 1890, recalled the first
time she and her mother had to spend a week alone and a dust storm came
up. The wind blew for three days and the dust was so thick that you couldnt
see the barn. My mother quilted all day, and she taught me how to quilt. If it
hadnt been for quilting, I think we would have gone crazy.
Quilting provided an important social function for the women of the
frontier as well. At quilting bees, women met to work on quilts and to share
the latest news.
Today, however, to homely quilt has become a costly cultural
phenomenon. The International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas, the worlds
fair of quilting, attracted only 2,500 people and displayed only 200 quilts
when it began a dozen years ago. This year there were over 20,000 visitors
and 5,000 quilts, some of which sold for as much as $50,000.
