(I was a great exhorter) The trend is strong and growing stronger To make the autos shorter! Dick Emmons The man of the house was puzzled when delivery men appeared at his door with a new automatic dishwasher. "Sure you've got the right address?" he asked. They showed him an invoice with his name and address. "Do you know anything about this?" he asked his wife. "Of course," she said. "Don't you remember me telling you I'd bought something to keep my hands nice?" Hugh Burr Prototype To tell the truth, The average youth Of that strange in-between age That's gone to pot That's noted, if not Notorious, as the "teen-age" Is an odd mixture, often crude, Self-indulgent, lazy, rude, Proud of what he doesn't know, Fooled by loud and empty show Just like (and I have to own up) The average grownup. Ethel Jacobson Nothing kindles a flame in a girl's heart like a man with money to burn. Hal Chadwick The easiest way to convince your children that they don't really need something is to get it for them.

In a few hours, we have become iso lated in a whirling world of snow. Noth ing moves except the wind and the crystal knives. The drifts rise. We are unable even to open the door to the world. What had been a busy highway is gone. There are lights across the road somewhere, but they are beyond the wall between us and civilization. The telephone is silent, prey of the weight of winter on its veins. Our lane is a desolate waste. Our shrubs are mounds of sculptured sugar, our trees grotesquely dwarfed by the riding tide of white. The world is still. It is eerie, terrify ing, that between this afternoon and nightfall, we have lost transportation, communication, and every proud ad vance of our achievement. This is still nature's empire. The city behind us is a lifeless village. A child will be born this night by candlelight. A man will die 50 feet from his own doorstep. Nothing we have invented or designed will save him from the heavy hand of a force we cannot conquer. We are safe here and warm, but only because we had the foresight to order a tank of fuel oil or another bin of coal. Or because our electricity has not yet forsaken us. We have food only because the basement cupboard is well stocked. But we are without eggs. Our neighbor has no milk for his children. In the morning, he or we will wrap ourselves against the storm and wade the snow to trade possessions. We have known the easier ways and we are fat an&soft and unaccustomed to the fight for survival. Some of our houses may burn, and the fire engines cannot come. Some of us will fight the insidious decay of boredom and find no help in ourselves. It will be a day or two before anyone can plow our lane. It may be more than that before the 200 cars that are stranded on the highway are all towed away. We are ill-equipped to battle more than the weather, to be thrown back to the resources which were inherent in our grandfathers. We fight against panic. In the wild whiteness of this winter snow, cut off from all the creature comfort the turn of the century never knew, how far have we come? 10 Family Weekly, January 3. 1960
