BY
Fieri Mary Cobb Lanelcy, Case-
vPIc, Mich.: I remember prob-
lems sometimes arose for the farm
wife who had to cook meals for
al! of the men who came to the
farm to help with the threshing.
One year, after breakfast the
second day of threshing, Ma went
to check on her supplies for din-
ner. She lifted the covers of the
meat crocks and, lo and behold,
the mutton was gone Nothing left
but a few bits of fat.
She called Pa and he said that
when he went to start the fire for
breakfast there was some hot
coals in the fire box and evidence
that someone hud eaten a meal.
But he thought it was one of the
barn sleepers getting cold and
hungry in the night. They ques-
tioned the men, but they said they
hadn't been in the house until
breakfast time. That ruled out all
possibilities but a tramp.
Every week or so, a tramp
came to the door for something to
eat or to sleep in the barn, and
they were not above stealing any
food they could carry away
Ma didn't have any meat for
dinner and Caseville, the nearest
town, was eight or nine miles
away. It was still early morning,
time enough to scud John, the
oldest boy, a 17-year-old, to Case-
ville I remember them putting
axle grease on the wheels of the
buggy and sending John off in a
shower of instructions
Pa: "Go easy on the money and
don't founder the horse."
Ma: "Hurry as fast as you can
and get the best you can "
At that time, Henry Ledger, who
lived in the little loghouse on the
old cemetery road (it's still there)
had a meat wagon. He'd butcher
one morning, drive through the
country selling meat next day.
Ma slapped on the frying pan and
was ready when John came in
with enough thick steak for din-
ner. right on time!

Black flowers?
There are no black-colored
flowers, because black flowers
would not be able to reproduce
themselves, according to the bo-
tanists at the New York Botani-
cal Gardens. Flowers are fertiliz-
ed by insects carrying pollen, but
insects are attracted by bright
colors only, which is why most
of the 200.000 known flowers are
either white, red, blue or yellow.
A very dark purple is about the
closest to black that any flower
camcs.—Cheer Magazine.
H SHAMEFUL
EXHIBITION
"Human Events" dated Aug. 25,
1961, printed a story under the
title "A Shameful Exhibition" by
Chicago Trade Fair. This article
revealed that the Trade Fair pre-
vented an American citizen from
displaying copies of J. Edgar
Hoover's book entitled "Masters
of Deceit," but at the same time
permitted the displaying of pro-
ducts all over the world, includ-
ing those from Poland and Yugo-
slavia. The articles reveals that
Yugoslavia was permitted to dis-
play and distribute pamphlets
blaming the United States for the
murder of the Congo's Soviet-
backed Premier Patrice Lumum-
ba and others dealing with the
advantage of Marxist economy.
Officials of the fair also pre-
sented the American citizen, Dr.
D. E. Love, one of the exhibitor,;
at the fair, with a letter offici-
ally ordering him to stop ringin;:
a miniature copy of the Liberty
Bell.

too. Some day you will have to

Until then, good luck. And

This tragedy happens every day and actually is the cause of one out of every three
child fire deaths. •
Never leave small children alone. Even if it is necessary to leave the
house for only a few minutes ask a neighbor to stay with the children. And
whenever you must go out for a longer time, leave the children in the care of
a baby sitter who not only has been told what to do in case of fire but who is
also physically and mentally capable of carrying out such instructions.
