The lodge of Hoaor. One night about 20 years ago, my husband and I
attended a Boy Scout dinner in another town. On our way home in a
heavy rainstorm, the car stalled.
We saw house lights in the distance and tramped down the road to call
a garage. But it was nearly midnight, and all the garages were closed.
The man whose phone we used then donned a raincoat and tried to help
us start our car. When this failed, he took us back to the house and
handed us the keys to his own car.
We were astonished at his remarkable offer but, under the circum
stances, we had to accept. When my husband returned the car the next
day, he asked the man how he could trust a stranger so completely.
This kind gentleman replied, "I wasn't worried. That Scoutmaster
uniform you were wearing was good enough for me."
My husband is still wearing the uniform, and we believe it still repre
sents the highest qualities. Mrs. Ralph Tomson, Lorain, O.
The Last Flrtt Aid. I'm in the Army medical
service where, because of the shortage' of
trained personnel, the experienced men must
conduct classes.
My first class was on the treatment of sick
and wounded, and I thought I was holding
the interest of the group until I noticed a
Southern boy dozing at the rear. I figured
the best way to arouse him was to ask him
a question. So I said, "Pvt. Jones! If you
found a man wounded in the head, chest, and
back, what would you do first?"
He snapped his eyes open, then relaxed
and drawled, "Well, Sarg, I'd tell him to
repeat after me, 'Our Father, Who art in
heaven . . .' " SP2 Raymond F. Harris, Fort
Rucker, Ala.
Where Hli Heart Is. I was going to spend the
whole day in a nearby town so, before leav
ing, I pinned a note inside the front door for
my teen-age daughter. I returned earlier
than expected and was upstairs when my
daughter came in with a bevy of teen-agers.
I heard one boy exclaim, "Is this where
your mother leaves notes?"
She said, "Sure. Where does your mother
leave yours?"
. As if it made sense, he said, "In the refrig
erator!" Mrs. A. L. Skinner, Sanjord, Flo.
Payment Deferred. While driving through California's orange groves
recently, my grandparents stopped beside the road for a better view and
got into conversation with the owner of a nearby orchard. He asked them
the usual questions about Idaho and, in turn, they asked him about
California, mentioning that it was the first time they had ever seen an
orange grove.
He invited them in and told them to pick some oranges. They gathered
about a dozen, but when they offered to pay for them he said, "Forget it
I may be driving through Idaho some day and want to dig some potatoes."
