So Sweef 15 Home Among 'TiheAmish The past months have seen Anna ard Chris gettîng nicely settied i n their f arrm home. Their framre construIction 1house sits -ta the front of their "85 paid-off acres"~ and is painted drab gray accordinig to custom. Ye t there is nothing drab about its appeaýr- ance. Anna's windows twinikle and shine with- polishing behind the bright-blue blinds of Amîsh tradition.He picture-book vege- table garden, close to the high- 'way, f launts a vjvid border of coxcomb, begoniia anud geraniumr. Chris keeps the lawn mowed ta velvety s1oothn1ess. it, is, ,withal, a place ta take delight ini. Aiready Anna has a loving, in1- timate name for every room ïin her horne,. and the quiet pride and jay of a true hausfraut as skie speaks of "the litte east room, "the south bedraom," or, wonder af wonders, "the break- fast room." True ta custom, the kitcheniis kniown simply as "the- room.ý" Kitchenis in this locale deserve a special designation, beinýg as they are the very heart of the home, and go where you wiill in Amishland, you find that "the raom" al-ways means the kitchen. Inside, the house is a marv-el of neatness, wîtih "show towels" in briglit colors and wedding china ir glassý-frornted cupboardis. Mucli of the furniture camie from ftie Zaugg attic, aind ail ai it is paînted in harma-Lnizing colors, with decals ýwich feature the tulip, the doüve, anid the five- poinited star.

Later on, the worn-out peach trees wiibe taken out, leaving plenty ai roomr for the heavy-bearing apple treus." Most fascînatinig ai al ta us is thie water wheel in a streamx which runs tbrough 'the farmn, and which- is used ta puImp water ta thie hause. We strive to take in ail its camparjnent parts as Chris expiainstem First there nmust bcea simple dam in the stream ta cause a, waterla!. Then a channel abave the dam, -and a boxlike construction ta hause the water ýwheel., Wire, fastened ta the wheei, hs attached ta a shaft ani-d exte-nded ta where the pumip is iacated in "trie rom The hoeis operated when water which the dam holds back farce.s its ,vay through the narraw channel and inta the boxlike construction. The pressure af water coming in with consider- able force causes the wheel ta turn; the rotary motion ai the wheei propels the shait, causing the widre ta mave u-,p and. down, and the steady movemfent ai the wire aperates the distant pumap. ,,¶'Aii that trouble for just wa- te-r!" somte rmight say. Yet, think- ing ai of w utterly helpless most ai us are wit.hout electrical power, we are moved ta say, "Verjy ingenliauLs!" It tvas with vast satisfa--ction thaýt Anna and Chris had their iirst harvest meails this summner wherV they mnade use ai the local baliing crew. Variaus relatives and near neighbors alsa carne ta helis in the haying. ("A wvhole lard can fuli ai applesauce with crearn in two days," Anna re- ported giowviigly wh-en ,teiiing how heartily the men ate.) Coid, srhooth iapplesauce, made irom Trans-parent or Early Harvest apples and sweetened with suigar, plus a generou-s sprinki- ing ai candy redhots, is served with a dolaop ai sweet cream n its pinkish surface. Et is a deli- cacy at any,time, and masi es- pecially to m-en who work long, hot heurs in the prickly bay, writes Mabel Slack Shelton in the Christian Science MWonitor. Even wth the mnost imodiem equipmnent, farmiing- is not easy. With primitive tools, it h it fen back-breaking work. Yet the very rhythm ai Amnish toil re- -fiects a quiet Christian grace. On anýy given dJay the harseýs are groonmed, the cowvs nilked and the chickens ied and water- ed before breakzfast. These are daily chores.

They are excused in time ta start the big noon mneal, Ev- eryone works until five 'ciock, then the horses are unhitched ai-d the harness removed, Aiter the sweaty calars are lifted off, the horses' shouiders are wasbed with warmn water and carefuily drîed ta prevent chaiing.

If tamarrow is market day, the whale iamily pitches in ta prepare the vegeta- bles, gathe.ring, scrubbing, siz- ing and tying themn in bunches. The eggs are crated, perishabies are carried ta the cool stream in the .sprinighouse. At last cornes evening devotionals, with the fa- ther or a grown son reading higb -German fromr the big Book, SAY "WREN" - When Jenny Wrenn starts Io ring the HM$' Wren bell at Wren trainin~g hcadquarters in Burghfield, Eng- bind, there is bound to be some confusion. Jennifer Wrenn ;z a member of the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS), often called WREN by Britons, and Jeniny Wren is a British nicknaim, for a wren (the bird, that is). Tha beil is fram a sloop HMS Wren. Any questions? 4 Gwtx.oLtr~eP. Ctct'1*se And sti11 the hot, humnid weather continues. Hawever, we know it can't last forever. Some day i.t will turn iresh, cool and invigorating and we'll get al th, things done we've been put- ting off uintil cooler weather. Trouble is som-e tbings hbave ta be donle at a spec-ific time - like going ta the Exhibition. Every year, along with other members ai the Toronto Wo-, men's Press Club, I get an invi- tation ta a tea at the Qu-cen Elizabeth Building-. This yevtar was no exceýption. Aithaugh 1 wanted ta g-o the thougb-t af tak-, ing a bus and wearIing bat and glo-ves ail day almost got ine dow,,n. But everythïing work-ed out fine. A neigbihbour, driîng ini about noon offered mie a ride, returnîng home about 7.30 That was one difficuituy solved. Thbere was still the bat ta worry about. My on-ly two presentable bàats are bath scaap-shaped and ,.]- mos;t suifocating on a hat day. Sa i went ta a lîttie store rýear 1here and bought a bandeau- yauj knaw one ai those littie afiairs mostly ribban bows and veiling that passes as a bat. Thus I went ta the C.N.E. tea. And it was fun, I met fellow mnembers there wham I had not seer in years as I baven't been getting out ta the meetings lately. Mavbe those ai you ,who iallow thie activities ai the m-any who c(,n- tribute ta press and radia mightý be interested ta know a f ew ai thase who were there. At aur table there was Lyn Harrington -- you are al tam- iliar with the delightful travel articies written by Lyn and Richard HLarringctan. There is neyer a duli mnoment when Lyn is arouind. And there wvas Leeta Cherry, editor ai "Glad Tidingýs" former coiumnist ta the aid c an- adian Countrymnan, And Latira Chisholm -- author ai manly de- iightful gardeing- articles. Anne Mernill was aiso there. I am sure those -of you who take the Globe and Mail enjoyv her bird- wat&cbing colunin. 'And Ruth HammoII-nd, free lance writer .ýnJ a terrifie talent for arganmzing. Also Esther Hleyes, author ai a recently published h is tar ic~a i book on "The Story ai Aibion" - (Peel Couinty) Constance- Lea. free lance writer ai many yeatrs standing. And Agnes Swinner- ton, recently retired editor ai the United Church Publicationis. And last but not least, Laura Schip- pers, a lady fromn the Nether- lands, very much in the lime- liit these days because ai tier controversial camnmentaries by press, radia and television. She is a deiightf'ui person ta meet, fulai fun and excellent com- pany. Also present wvas Rase- maryv Dudley, in Public Relations for the Ontario Govermnent. Margaret Zieman, free l ance: wvriter and lecturer - and thé present president of the TorortO Womnen's Press Çlub, was one of those po ring tea. Of course there were many others the-re whom I1 have nat even mention- ed, some I knew only by sight. Ail we did, for about a couple of haurs was sit around and taldk shap), stopping briefly toi adire and applaud each timie a mranne- quin passed by moüdelling th;e latest in women's fashiions. Itwa ail very informnai and fini and 1, for one, had a &iht fui timie. When! the tea was oveýr 1 wandered around a bit -v~t ed "Medliscope-" whicb lusrt ed very clearly why one lias tao pay $10 for such thîngs as 'b],od cou'nts, aierg-y tests and sm'-ar cultures. The public seemned to be genuînely interested - es- pecialiy in "The Bîrth of -a B3aby" a demonstra.tion sa crowded I didn't make any at- tempt ta get in. Sa I stili dun't know very much about thebrt of a baby - inciuding my owvn! Fromn there 1 went ta the Sal- ada Tea Gardens, a deiightful littie oasis ai peace, away fram the heat and crowds. Men and women ai vision mnust have been responsible for the creation aof that much neededi restf'ui spot. The oniy thing that marred it was the noise fromn speed boats racing aiong the water-fi-ontý My last stop was the Scadding Cabin which I' neyer miss visit- ing. Why, yau ask,- there's neyer anything new? Oh, but there is, This year there is* an aidbok pubiished in the l7th century and printed in aid English. A treasure, if ever there was one. And how do you thinké the York Historical S"ciety came» across it? Weli, ane a>f their members was at the Annual Rummage Sale sponsored, by the T o r o n t o- Symphony Orchestra and amaong the relics she spotted this book. _Na coubt lit had been in someone's attîc for years and yearis. Wasn't that, a thrilling Eind? And now a word ta) the Board of Directors af the C.N.E. I wonder if it wouid be possible ta put a few benches inside the foyer of tLhe Queen Elizazbeth building so that those wiaiting ta attend a-tea or lunchean might have somnewhere ta sit. Lý_st Fni- day I saw twa ladies, bath i them icrippled, sitting an, theý stairs at the entranice ta, the Fashion Show. They were askepd ta mave but there was nowhere else for themn to sit. 1, tao, cüuld have done with a seat! "How wIll mny girl friend treat me after we're married?", asks a readIer.

The ]ýnit- ish Government had agreed ta pravide training facilities for its German, allies at tne express re- quest ai NATO, but wýhcn the agreement was made public, Britons were autraged. The Ger- manis, a thorough racýe, there- upan started preparing an ex- haustive military pamphlet Cali- ed "Hints for 'Visitors ta En- land." Intend,'ed as a guide ta the panzer troaps, thea pamphlet sugg'ested:11 "-Keep saying the word 'Sorry' ta the people. This helps in ail diii iculties.", "The Engiish greeting 'Haw do you do?' is neyer answered, but must be askýed in return." "The Germnan hand(shak-e is not practiced in England, ai-d it is therýef are necessary ta wear ane's wrist watch aon the righit wrist.
