1934 Podcerkev – Vezali seno
11. 11. 2011
Takšna je bila “pramati” današnjih naprav za stiskanje senenih bal. Ni potrebovala nobenega priključka, le dovolj pridnih in močnih rok je bilo potrebnih.
Po orehu v ozadju domnevam, da so seno vezali pri Hlepinovih in tudi sicer je bila to dovolj močna kmetija, da so lahko napravili več sena, kot so ga potrebovali.

Thank you for this picture of my grandaunt, Josefa (Pepca) Truden – Hlepin, taken by her elder brother, Frank Truden, in 1934. If I understand the translation correctly, the picture is of walnut pressing at the Hlepin house, #28, in Podcerkev. It is nice to see that the young people saw the walnut pressing work as play, a time to socialize. These pictures and articles at Stareslike Cerknica give a glimpse of what life was like in Podcerkev during those times…….Jennifer (Nylander) Littke
Anita – Thank you again for this picture and article. Reading the Engliish translation again, I realize that they are pressing bales of hay. I am grateful to my granduncle, Frank Truden, for taking this picture at the “old” Hlepin house #28, and for preserving a glimpse of life in Podcerkev in 1934. I appreciate that my grandaunt, Jozefa Truden – Hlepin is pictured. The hay baling contraption is interesting. When we visited granduncle, Frank Truden and family in 1976 in Podcerkev at the “new” Hlepin house, we spent a day helping them harvest the dried hay. They had no hay baler. We just forked the loose dried hay into the hay cart and then forked it into the top of the barn for storage……Jennifer (Nylander) Littke
Hello – this is Jennifer (Nylander) Littke again, still looking at this wonderful picture of hay pressing or baling in Podcerkev, 1934. I searched the internet, but cannot find a similar vintage hay baling contraption. I said in my comment above that when we visited Frank Truden at the “new” Truden – Hlepin house in 1976, and helped them harvest hay, they had no hay baler or press. We just forked the loose dried hay into the hay cart. And then the loose hay was lifted into the hay loft over the barn using an antique hay carrier grappling fork, like pictured at the link below…….Jennifer (Nylander) Littke https://www.antiquemystique.com/antique-barn-hayloft-hay-grapple-fork-claw-trolley-dated-1886.html
This picture was made before second world war, when Hlepin family lived in thair fitst house, which was fired in 1942 year. Later they made another house, where you visited and helped them.
Anonymous – Yes, I know that in 1976 we visited my granduncle, Frank Truden, wife, Pepca, and nephew, Dusan, in the “new” Truden – Hlepin house. They told us then that the “new” Truden house was built from the stones and bricks of the “old” Truden house. They didn’t tell us how or when the “old” Truden house was destroyed. Later I found out that the “old” Truden house was #28, the address on my grandfather, Louis Truden’s 1927 immigration document. Then later yet, from articles in Stareslike Cerknica, I found out about our “vulgo” name Hlepin. It has been a journey of discovery about my family in Slovenia. I’m very thankful to my relatives there, both now and then, for recording our family history, and for Stareslike Cerknica for publishing the articles and pictures……Jennifer (Nylander) Littke
