William Hunsberger, Souderton, Pa.: I remember . . . not so many years ago . . . when the average person could not, afford a power mower to cut his grass. When he didn't have all the tools to trim his own trees, shrubbery . . . nor the compounds to rid his lawn of weeds. Lawn care . . . for those who put forth afty effort . . . was a chore. Pushing a hand mower across even an average size lawn took hours of sweat and toil. Of course, in those days we didn't have the noise of gas motors rending the neighborhood, nor did we have the pollution of air caused by dozens of power mowers being operated at the same time. I remember, too, when it was the custom of many people to not only sweep tneir sidewalks, at least weekly, but the gutters as well. Unless they lived in the bigger towns and cities they didn't have the convenience of a municipal sweeper. People then, even as now, took pride in keeping their property neat, clean and presentable. The smell of burning leaves in the Fall is a bit of nostalgia fast disappearing from the American scene. (Sond contributions fto tftis columnloTHeOtd Timer, Bo* 639. Frankfort, Kenntudry 4060.)
