Childhood - that time of life when nightmares happen only at night. Efficiency - doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time. Mealtime ~ when kids sit down to eat. From J. Bertino, Coal City, I1L: I recall back in the horse and buggy days when farming was done with horse power and no tractors. It was very small equip­ ment and a gang plow with two bottoms was a big deal. A farmer with 160 acres always had one hired man and two at harvest time. I worked for 50 cents a day when I was 15 years old and I carried my own lunch. I hauled ice for 30 cents a ton with another man a team starting at 4:30 AM as the days were short in the winter -- temperatures went as low as 28 below zero at times. I remember we had no electricity back then, only coal and wood for heating and cooking.

We drove over snow four and five feet deep, deep enough that we could go over fences. The snow had a frozen crust of 4 or 5 in­ ches deep, enough to hold a team. Times have sure changed, but the world and people were never happier in those days and every­ one was always willing to help each other. (Send contributions to tKio column to The OM Timor, Box *3*. Frankfort, Ky 40601.) But how many people will make Election Day a day for spiritual decisions. We should stop and think where our lives is going, look around us and see the prob­ lems of our days. And then we should cast our ballots for right­ eousness, truth, and for God to enter our own lives. If only more people would use this milestone Election Day as a turning point for their lives, spir­ itually as well as politically, we all would be in better shape to face and solve the problems of our times and civilization.
