| still head of the house and chil-
j dren are taught respect for par-
|ents and their elders.
The speaker was very much
surprised when she first came to
the U. S. as her impression was
that the Americans only know
luxuries and good times informa
tion gathered from magazines and
movies. She said that the longer
she stays here the better she likes
it.
The evening closed with the
group singing "An Evening Pray
er.”

$148 Million
Chewed Up
Incredible as it seems we
chewed up $148 million worth
of gum in 1948. It seems ut
terly impossible that pennies
and nickels could add up to
this fortune. Yet it’s true.
Have you forgotten the craze
called Pyramid Clubs in 1949?
The mails carried tons of let
ters with dimes, quarters and
dollars to the top names on
lists with the fervent hope that
soon our name would be shak
en to the top and we would
receive baskets and baskets of
mail, with money inside.
We’re a gullible people. We
chew gum to grow thin, or fat,
or poised, or to stop smoking.
We send money to strangers
and hope. We listen to smooth
talkers and buy City Halls. We
sit glued to a chair while emo
tional commentators scare us
to death. We’ll join anything
with an emblem we can wear.
We swallow praise, vitamins
and pellets, buy more mirrors
than books, fly into a rage
when a child steps on a flower,
or give him our last coin if he’s
in need. Yes, we’re gullible but
also the kindest hearted, most
I generous and hardest fighters
! and quickest to forgive. We’re
I Americans.
