Hutterite Mother
Has 10 Children
BY L. M. BOYD
HUTTERITES—Young lady, how would you feel about
having at least 10 children? That’s generally how many
youngsters the Rutterite mothers have. Specifically, 10.4 per
mother. Pretty prolific, those girls. A fertile few 440 of them
emigrated a little less than 100 years ago from Russian to
Montana, the Dakotas, then Canada. Their birth rate runs 46 per
1,000. U. S. rate overall goes only 17.9 per 1,000. Now there are
15,000 Rutterites hereabouts, and the slide rule boys figure there
will be 55 million in another 100 years. Don’t wait. Invest now in
Rutterites.
“NEVER MARRY a woman under 25. She will want too
much and understand too little.” That was the advice of that
Love and War expert Viscount Castleross. A “SCRUPLE”
IS a pharmaceutical measurement equal to 20 grains or a third
of a gram When our Language man said the drug industry em
ployed scruples, that is what he meant. And that is all he
meant. NOTE IT STATED a man celebrates his birthday by
taking a day off while a woman celebrates her birthday by taking
a year off. Must file that.
FIGHTING—You’ve heard of karate, but how about savate?
That is the fighting technique wherein combatants throw punches
not with their fists, but with their feet. A highly popular sport in
France years ago. But it was outlawed here, quite rightly. Too
many good men got hurt. Those kicks to the jaw not only decked
them, they wrecked them.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. “I take it you get some
interesting mail. What is the most memorable letter you ever
received from a customer?” A. That would have to be a note that
came in years ago when I worked briefly on a magazine in
Manhattan. It read: “Enclosed is return postage in the event my
child’s head, which I am sending you under separate cover by
parcel post, is of no interest.” What turned up a couple days
later was a drawing by an artist.... Q. “EVERY STATE in the
Union has caves that the spelunkers can explore around in,
right?" A. Every state except Delaware.
HIGHLY PLEASED to hear a long-playing record of W. C.
Fields’ classiest lines is now outselling practically every guitarist
on the market. . . . OUR NAME GAME MAN says Alice means
truth, Susan means lily, Irene means peace, and Evelyn means
youth, more or less. ... AS FAR AS Loves and Kisses go, the
Seattle telephone directory lists 69 of the former but only one of
the latter.
LOVE AND WAR—If the barn is bigger than the house, that
means the husband runs the show. If the house is bigger, the wife
is boss. That you know. Bud did you know you can also tell who’s
in charge by the family dog? If it’s a German shepherd, the man
has a firm grip on the situation. If it’s a pekinese, not only is the
wife in control, but the husband is probably henpecked. Our Love
and War man says exceptions to this dog rule are so rare as to
be negligible.

EDITORIAL
Farewell, Welcome
The calendar, of course, tells us otherwise.
Three weeks of summer remain.
But somehow, Labor Day has come to mark the
end — and the beginning.
The fresh morning of June is long gone, the bright
warmth and lush flowering of July recedes ever
deeper into memory. And now August of the drowsy
heat, the yellows and browns of the coming season
stealing relentlessly into the landscape’s fading, dusty
green, is past as well.
Chances are the first strangely, crisply cool night
has already come, an unexpected but suddenly wel
come tonic for summer-tranquilized sensibilities. The
frost is not yet on the punkin, but we know- it soon
will be.
At no other time of year is there quite this sense
of pause, of time out from the relentless march of
hours, days and seasons.
Labor Day has another, official raison d’etre, of
course. We salute with good reason the nation’s
workers. But over so many years this has become
more pretext than purpose.
The real meaning of Labor Day to a working nation
is the pause that represents, despite what the calendar
may say, the ending of one year and the beginning
of another. It is a time curiously out of time, a time
for saying farewell to the year that has faded with
summer and for looking forward to autumn and
the quickening tempo of another.
World Wonders That Were
Funny thing, but ever since the Army’s Corps of Engi
neers cut the American side of Niagara Falls down to a
trickle in order to study its crumbling rock structure, sight
seers have been more numerous than ever.
This may be the answer to conservationists who warn of
what will happen when the population reaches its third
hundred million (as it will in a short 30 years)—the over
taxed park and recreation facilities, the crowds, crowds,
crowds at every natural wonder.
Natural wonders—who needs them? As Niagara non-Falls
shows, nonwonders are just as good. We can hear 21st
century guides telling enthralled groups of tourists:
"On the site of this housing development stood the last
redwood trees, the kind pictured in the booklet given you”
. . . "Beneath the waters of this huge lake, which serves
the needs of Arizona’s 20 million citizens, are the sheer
walls of the world’s deepest canyon, once called Grand”
. . . “Yes, folks, Mammoth Cave is well-named. We can’t
go in, of course, but it’s estimated it can store all the
obsolete nerve gas the United States will manufacture for
the next 100 years” . . .
Somehow, we liked Niagara Falls better when it was Tun
ing.

MY
ANSWER
How can I overcome the fear
of death? I am an old man and
have this awful dread of dying.
L.S.
Let me suggest that you take
the 15th Chapter of First Cor
inthians and read it again and
again. If you have put your tr
ust in Christ death has had its
sting removed. Unconfessed and
unforgiven sin is the sting of the
grave. For the Christian death
is a glorious transition, and im
medate entrance into the pre
sence of the Savior. Not know
ing whether you are a Christian
or not I can only advise you tc
take this necessary step of faith
in Jesus Christ and commit your
self to Him. Take the 33rd Ps
alm and read the words of com
fort: “Yea, though I walk throu
gh the valley of the shadow of
death, I will tear no evil.” This
is not bravado but faith, for Da
vid goes on to say, “For thou
art with me.” Once you have by
faith put your hand in the Sav
iors there is nothing to fear.
Pain? Perhaps. Separation
from loved ones? Yes, but all of
these things are only a fleeting
experience for Christ came to
take away both the fear and st
ing of death and in its place to
give us the peace which passeth
understanding. The Apostle Paul
had suffered for his Lord in ev
ery way possible. He spoke of
longing to be with the Lord. You
too can have this glorious anti
cipation.
WORLD ALMANAC
The Conestoga wagon
caused Americans to break
the English custom of driv
ing on the left, The World
Almanac says. The wagon
was pulled by four or six
horses, the driver usually
riding the left wheel horse.
To get a clearer view of
the road ahead, the driver
kept his wagon to the right.
Drivers of other vehicles
followed suit because the
uts cut by the freight wag
ons were easy to follow. In
1813, New Jersey ordered
all vehicles to keep to the
right.
