The Club for
Summer Fun
V
For the last two years the mothers in our neighbor
hood have faced Summer vacations without a qualm we've
formed a "Garage Club" for our children. Instead of rush
ing out to settle minor disputes all day, two mothers meet
with the youngsters three mornings a week in our garage,
where they play games and do handicraft work.
The mothers alternate, so each has some free time without
having to worry about where her children are. And the kids
love it. They even draw up rules of order and charge two
cents dues! The whole neighborhood is looking forward to
the club again this year. G.S., Gnlreston, Tex.
PAYMENT IN PRAYER. While driving on a back
road in Lancaster county, one of my tires went flat. Since
I wear a brace and it is impossible for me to stoop over, I
despaired of changing it myself. Then a young Amish man
walked up and volunteered his help. When he had finished,
I offered him money, but he said simply, "Oh, no. Just say a
prayer now and then." Joseph Quinn, Philadelphia, Pa.
YOU CAN'T BEAT CAMPING. I think any fam
ily which hasn't camped in a tent in one of our great national
parks is really missing something! I went for the first time
last year and had a wonderful time! I rode horseback, went
fishing, met new friends, hiked, swam, and saw beautiful
scenery. Since then, I've loved the out-of-doors and I know
I'll go camping again. Donna Osborne, Walla WaIIa,Wasi.
BATTLE OF THE BLACKBOARD. I once forgot
my brief case, and as a result our family embanked on a
word-learning project. My wife wrote "portfolio" on our
kitchen blackboard that day, and when I saw it, my blank
face told her I didn't have the slightest idea what the word
meant. Since then, one of us sneaks a word on the board
each day and the rest try to define it. It's fun and it makes
for family discussion and frequent bouts with the dictionary!

A if
... on A plane he met a group of men who played a
game of guessing one another's occupations.
They knew at once that he's a banker. He has a look of
conservative dignity about him. He's a tall man with thin
ning hair close to white. His eyes behind the rimless glasses
are narrow and piercingly blue. He dresses with restraint
except for the days when his color blindness betrays him.
I suspect 1 know him a little better than most. I know his
passion for knowledge, his hero worship of Lincoln, the
insomnia during which he suffers over the errors his nature
will not allow him daylight to confess.
Yet I suspect, too, that I don't know him nearly so well as
1 like to believe. 1 sense his fears and hidden doubts but
sometimes I am surprised by his moods and mannerisms.
He lives in a small town. He calls himself a country
banker and he has a true affection for bis town. He takes
pride in the fact that he is on first-name basis with both
the farmer and the famous.
Sometimes he is childish, a failing common to most men.
Sometimes he discloses a sensitivity common to few men.
He writhes under what he considers his handicaps and some
times ignores the real ones in the shadow of those imagined.
I have seen him lose his dignity by design. He has a touch
of broad humor close behind his Scandinavian facade.
Though he is considered astute and sometimes brilliant, he
was nearly expelled from school and lived a rebellious child
hood because he knew he had been unwanted.
With his own family, he is loving and severe, generous and
penurious, obtuse and understanding, bullish and lambish.
I know all these things because I see him through a glass
darkly but face to face.
Though I turn SO and he 110. I cannot bring myself to call
him by a solemn title. He has remained always to me as
he was the only time he ever spanked me and I leaned
against his knee and sobbed,
"I love you, Daddv."
