The Difference 4?

1eSterday, you were cnllu IN a
childs place. Today you are a
child. in years, but far more ex-
perienced. If you are at least 7 or
8 years old you get up yourself,
look at the clock, get something
to eat, dress and comb your hair,
and go to Sunday School. You
may leave a note saying you have
gone to Sunday school or maybe
you won't, You will most likely be
home before you are missed.
These facts of today 1 learned
while talking to a social worker,
but she said they are rare cases.
The majority Of mothers today are
wonderful. They work 8 hours a
day, yet their children are taken
to centers or nursery schools
where they are taught how to do
for themselves, learn to get along
with others and to be independ-
ent.
The majority Of mothers are
working in order to provide bet
ter home for their children and to
give them a higher education.
Sull, there are a great many
mothers and fathers who feel the
mothers place Is in the home
while rearing their children. The
mother learns to budget the money
so her children have as many ad-
vantages as possible and they are
doing a fine job, too.
Today our colleges are filled
with children from families Is all
walks OF life, Years ago only a
privileged few ever attended col
iege
The vast majority OF parents OF
yesterday and today put their
childrens needs far above their
own. Statistics say that s5 per
cent OF our teen ayers Of today are
fine, intelligent girls and boys.
Only five per cent are termed le-
inquents With the help Of older
men and women, these. too, will
become better boys and girls.
A mans character is the relia-
bility OF himself His reputation
Is the opinion others have formed
OF him. Character is in him; repu-
tation is from other people. -

years ago, can recall when all his

receive half a dozen greeting cards
a day at Christmas time, compared
with the thousands that fill the sacks
of the local mail men in these times.
MIR. Hauenstein, who once drove
the mud roads surrounding Bluffton
on the daily mail route, recalls that
the first Christmas cards he delivered
were much like postcards. There were
no envelopes. The cards were en-
bellished with a pretty picture and
usually verse, and the delivery man
had plenty of time to read them as
he made his rounds.
Hauenstein actually substituted on
the route for S. S. Huber. Mr.. Huber's
pay was SIS per month to cover the
28-mile-long route daily. Fifteen miles
were over mud roads. If the carrier
furnished his own horse the pay was
so cents day extra.
| Mr.. Hauenstein substituted off and
on for three years. At that time Ross
Bogart was the regular carrier on
Route 2; Elmer Augsburger carried
on Route 1, and Charlie Steingraver
was on Route while Huber had

dray wagon that carried the mail
from the L. Z. and w. railroad depot

on Vane street where Vance Paint
and Awning Store is now located. The

Lewis.
In those days mail volume had
to reach about 1000 pieces a month
before rural service was authorized

a day.
