No matter how poor or rich an individual may be, happiness must be measured in the light of the individual attitude. Money cannot guarantee that one will never be sick, will not contact a fatal disease, will not suffer the loss of a loved one. None of us have the right to expect a life free from all sorrow and unhappiness. What we must do is have faith, faith in God, faith in tomorrow. If we have faith, we generally realize that trouble and discomfort are always temporary -- and somewhere ahead, no matter how far, lies a bright and cheerful day. Live, therefore, a life of hope. Consider that tomorrow will be better, if we want it to be, if we turn out efforts to that purpose. Live a life of love. Love turns aside deceit and selfishness. Love provides the incentive to do right, to be right. Love, l i k e f a i t h , p r o v i d e s strength and gives a sense of purpose to all things. ^ Barber Shop ^ • Hair Coloring ^0 • Hair Styling ^0 • Hair Pieces jdI • Razor Cuts "jAHE'S by appointment S86-7771 An annual two-week vacation is as American as hot dogs and baseball. Today, however, modern families are realizing they don't have to dream about the outdoors between vacations. In fact, each year millions of Americans discover the great outdoors begins right in their own backyards ... an instant vacationland waiting right beyond the back door. Stay-at-home vacationlands can be found everywhere and offer something for every member of the family. There's no time lost reaching them, and best of all they can be enjoyed on a year 'round basis. Although the annual vacation remains the undisputed leader in family "happenings," the backyard is now being looked to as a means of keeping in contact with the great outdoors until vacationtime rolls around. There are many reasons for the booming trend toward athome outdoor living. More leisure time and discretionary income are but a few. However, a walk out of your backdoor will show you the most important ones. Backyards in New Light You're likely to find some of the very things you and your family treasure on that longplanned, long "awaited, and long remembered annual trip. The lush greenness of grass and trees . .'. flowers blooming here ana there. Perhaps a stately tree you once climbed as a child. And, although not all backyards have park-size dimensions, each can offer the thrill and enjoyment of being outdoors. Still not convinced? Then look at your backyard in a different light and think of the ways it can help you spend more time relaxing in the. great outdoors. More Family Fun That expanse of lawn, so formidable when it's times to get the lawnmower going, doesn't look quite as big when it's viewed as a practice putting green. Those trees whose annual deluge of leaves keep you busy throughout the fall season might be the perfect spot to string a hammock or a swing for the children. And how about the patio? Sure, it may look like an outdoor warehouse right now, but think of the stay-at-home cookouts and parties you could stage there if you had the right equipment. A permanently in- Stalled outdoor grill, some" lights, and heaters would do the trick. There are. countless ways of lending nature a hand in the backyard and each of them promises more family fun than ever before. Some of the most common additions made to the vestpocket vacationlands are volleyball and badminton courts. Horseshoe pits are still a big favorite, while some backyards are even sporting tennis courts or swimming pools. Although there are many ways to enjoy the great outdoors at home, cookouts remain the favorite. According to statistics gathered by the American Gas Association, Inc. (A.G.A.), more than forty million people own outdoor cooking equipment and their ranks are swelling every day. Outdoor Season Grows Developments in outdoor cooking equipment, such as gas grills, make it possible to cook out more often, faster, and increase the length of the outdoor season. Use of residential patio heaters is rearranging the outdoor calendar. Strategically placed infrared heaters make it possible to begin outdoor fun earlier in the spring and continue far into the fall months. Actually, in some parts of the country, a heated, enclosed or semi-enclosed patio can be used eight to twelve months of the year. The same holds true for swimming pools, A.G.A. notes. Whether it's cookouts, swimming, or just honing a sharp edge on fly casting techniques, your backyard is a perfect place to do it. And with the M t REMEMBER BY THE OLD TIMER 1% From Mrs. Edwin V. Altemus, Souderton, Pa.: 1 remember when Mom made us wear long .underwear and we were almost late for school because we spent too much time trying to fold it at the ankle so it would show the least. I remember when Mom worked over a hot stove Sundays because she chose to prepare dinner for a large number of guests. It just wasn't Sunday without company . . . when Mom made me hold the rooster to the chopping block while she chopped his head off. We knew this meant special guests to Sunday dinner . . . when Mom wet the broom to keep the dust down while she swejpt the living room rug . . . when Mom put the,coloring in the oleomargarine, arid when she cleaned the remairiingrheg* gravy from the frying pan with a piece of bread, and this was the cat's dinner. I remember when Mom scolded us because we broke her favorite record. She always reminded us not to wind the Victrola too tight and damge the needle . . . and when Mom stayed up late Saturday night to see that our best c l o t h e s were ready for Sunday School and Church the next morning. Those were the good old days and I think I had the best mother in the world. SPORTScCORNER rAfJKS£S AMP ALL BASEBAU yu/u.
