dSn't bargain for the answers
they received to a different type
of "in-ation they sent out for
their 40th wedding anniversary
party.
Because both arc of German
decent, they decided to word
parts of their invitations in Ger
man scrips.
The RSVP's they got back in
an assortment of languages in
cluding Lebanese, Hawaiian, Chi

chief. Another was in Japanese,
translated into German.
One answer came on a phy
sician's prescription blank.
The reply that caused the
greatest puzzle was merely the
letters of the English alphabet
without "N" and "O".
Finally the Yosts deciphered
it. Since there was no "no" it
meant "yes."

Bulls Claimed Most
Savage ol Animals
Burlington, Vt. U.R) Never
tease a bull!
That's the advice of Dr. James
Wadsworth, animal pathologist
at the Vermont Extension Serv
ice. Dr. Wadsworth said bulls are
the most savage, unpredictable
domestic animals in America.
Although accident statistics do
not record attacks by wild an
imals, he said bulls are respon
sible for nearly eight times as
many fatalities among farmers
as firearms.
Because bulls are unpredict
able, even the tamest may turn
on his owner without provoca
tion. Their disposition gets worse
with age. .
His advice is to stay near the
fence while crossing a pasture.
If in a field with a bull, don't
run unless he starts after you.
"Many have climbed a tree,"
he said. "That's good too."
He noted that once a bull has
treed its quarry, it will usually
quiet down and depart.
