- well, it was much more sensible to
do something constructive than to
play silly game.
You should hear Gus Fuller's wife
sing Harold Thayer's praises. The
Fullers have quite large vegetable
garden. and. as is the way with large
gardens the weeds began to outnum-
Der the vegetables. Finally Gus de-
cided he ought to hire gardener for
a couple of days every week because
Gus himself. after working hard in his
office all day long. was too tired to
wrestle with weeds after he got home.

have him to play with if l we're going
to resume tennis instead of building
a tool house like the one Harold
Thayer did all by himself.
Now, the way I've been talking
about Harold Thayer in the past
tense, don't want you to get the
idea that he is deceased. l simply
mean that Harold has moved
away from here.
1t seems that one evening when he
was building new garden fence. he
was suddenly attacked by four or five
toughs. 1t was almost pitch-dark, so
he was unable to identify the hood
lums. who finally made their escape
after subjecting him to brutal beat
ing. He reported with satisfaction to
Mrs. Thayer. however. that he put
up good fight, and was able to land
several stiff blows to the eyes of one
of the cowardly miscreants.
None of us know where Harold
Thayer has moved to, but we know
that somewhere he is a good force in
his community, spreading the gospel
of cheerful. useful work as he spread
it in our own. Our wives will miss
Harold Thayer, but his spirit lives on.
We husbands have benefited inn
mensely by Harold Thayer's example.
