There's a snakelike road to the

a microwave tower, a relay station

Don't be in a rush to cover up

Fall Is the Best Season for Picnics;
Puff Balls Cause Gardener Concern

On top of the Blue Ridge Noun
tains fall is putting on an unusual
show. The combination of bright
days and cool nights have brought
out the full color of the changing
leaves.
There are the bright yellows of
the poplars. the bronze OF the
oaks and the brilliant scarlet of
the naples. And just to add bal
ance, the woods are sprinkled with
green splotches from the pines.
We were up on the Appalachian
Trail, the foot path that stretches
from Maine south to Florida,
where we could look out on the
patchwork of color below. Woods,
green fields and cultivated ground
form a checkerboard pattern as
far as you can see.
Fall is the best picnic season
There are no bugs to bother you
and the combination of wood
smoke and the clear air brings on
an appetite like a tonic.
We had fire going in a natural
stone fireplace in a few minutes

The smoke that invariably follows

marvellous flavor.

Mrs. Kenneth Sharp, a Cali

point. Generally speaking, it would

Saturday evening about 7:45. The
deer crossed the road directly in front
of the Basinger auto and jumped the
fence running toward the woods. Old
Santa was nowhere to be seen, but
undoubtedly he must be checking up
on Bluffton.
The Basinger children said that
their friends had their doubts when
told they had spotted the deer. Now
they can prove it, because it was in

oratorio, the Messiah, will be given
by the Mennonite Choral Society at
the First Mennonite church, Berne,
Ind, on Saturday and Sunday even

Traditionally, the Mennonite Choral
Society has been presenting the Mes

in December, but because of the
availability of some of the guest
soloists, the presentation this year
was moved forward to the first

Supporting the choir of approx

be directed by Berne's own widely
known conductor, Freeman Burk-
halter, will be the following guest
soloists: Miss Suzanne Der Derian

son Jones, of New York, basso, and
Glen Schnittke of Berea, Ohio, tenor.
Mrs. Evangeline Embler, organist
and Mrs. Rebecca Stucky, pianist

THE PILGRIMS HAD 1T BET
TER" is the simple heading on this
week on the regular bulletin of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
And it goes on to contrast the First
Thanksgiving Day with the one we
will enjoy this Thursday of 1862.
During the past year, hundred
million adult Settlers occupying a
clearing many square leagues larger
than Plymouth Colony, and equipped
with much more efficient hoes, spin
ming wheels and forges produced more
wealth than ever before. In monetary
terms, the harvest is computed at
more than S34O billion dollars" the
bulletin explains.
But the point is that no individual
ever sees more than an infnitesimal
fraction of the harvest" and a
statistic does not readily evoke a
sense of profound gratitude.
BY way of contrast i'm Plymouth
Colony the gross colonial pro-
duct was virtually within plain
sight of all those assembled in the
'illage> square. The cost of any
thing and everything, could be
evaluated by most reliable
yardstick-the days of work re-
quired to grow it, to saw it, to
weave it, or to haul it. And if
the price appeared prohibitive in
terms of muscular effort, the
early settlers could not be am
bushed by monetary strategy.
They could not be unanswered
into believing that an initiation of
wampum currency would, of
itself, build a single new canoe,
or grow even one more pumpkin.
At least the Pilgrims could enjoy
the luxury of straight thinking.
But today, the bulletin states, in a
nation where no household and no
community is self-sustaining, a keen
sense of economic relationships is
priceless. Democracy can subsist
only if its citizens will put forth the
exertion to blaze a well-marked trail
from economic cause to economic eff
feet, to uproot and clear away the
tangled underbrush of irrational no.
tions, to construct logical stockade
against the assaults by dispossessed
interests as well as adventurous
sophists.
In short, the bulletin summarizes,
each generation must learn anew how
to carve out of the wilderness of ideas
a durable concept of where its long
term welfare lies.

worth passing along, and with that
