Amish The past months have seen Anna and Chris getting hicely settled in their farm home, Their frame construction house sits to the front of their "85 paid-off acres" and is painted drab gray According to custom. Yet there is nothing drab about its appear- ance. Anna's windows twinkle and shine with polishing behind the bright-blue blinds of Amish tradition. Her picture-book vege- table garden, close to the high- way, flaunts a vivid border of coxcomb, begonia and geranium. Chris keeps the lawn mowed to velvety: smoothness. It is, withal, a place to take delight in. ) Already Anna has a loving, in- timate name for every room in her home, and the quiet pride and joy of a true hausfrau as she speaks of "the little east room," "the south bedroom," or, wonder of wonders, "the break- fast room." True to custom, the kitchen is known simply as "the room." Kitchens in this locale deserve a special designation, being as they are the very heart of the home, and go where you will in Amishland, you find that "the room" always means the kitchen, Inside, the house is a marvel of neatness, with "show towels" in bright colors and wedding china in glass-fronted cupboards: Much of the furniture came -from the Zaugg attic, and all of it is painted in harmonizing colors, with decals which feature - the tulip, the dove, and the five- pointed star. Collectors of Early Americana would sigh - with pleasure at the sight of it. On the outside are to be found all the features which make a farm typically Amish, The wind- mill, so necessary for power for pumping water for the stock where electricity is Verboten, as well as the alternate planting of apple and peach trees in the or- chard, which is an example of Dutch practicality. Chris ex- plains the planting, his sensitive face beaming with the loving in- terest he gives to each operation on his tidy farm, "Peach trees mature fast," he tells us, "while the apples are still growing, and the fruit from them we will have for a long time before the apples come in. Later on, the worn-out peach trees will be taken out, leaving plenty of room for the heavy-bearing apple trees." : Most fascinating of all to us is the water wheel in a stream -which-runs through -the- farm, and which is ysed to pump water to the house." We strive to take in all its component parts as Chris explains them. First there must be a simple dam in the stream to cause a waterfall. Then a channel above the dam, and a boxlike construction to house the water wheel. Wire, fastened to the wheel, is attached to a shaft and extended to where the pump is located in "the "room." The whole is operated when water which the dam holds back forces its way through the narrow channel and into the boxlike construction. ~ The pressure of water coming in with consider- able force causes the wheel to turn; the rotary motion of the wheel propels the shaft, causing = cows, gathered the eds and "are carried to the cool stream in -{---adding-to-the-culture-of-America HEY the wire to move up and down, and the steady movement of the wire operates the distant pump. "All that trouble for just wa- ter!" some might say. Yet, think- ing of how utterly helpless most of us are without electrical "power, we are moved to say, "Very ingenious" ' It was with vast satisfaction that Anna and Chris had their first harvest meals this summer when they made use of the local baling crew. Various relatives and near neighbors also came to help in the haying. ("A whole lard can full of applesauce with cream in two days," Anna re- ported glowingly when telling how heartily the men ate.) Cold, smooth applesauce, made from Transparent or Early Harvest apples and sweetened with sugar, plus a generous sprinkl- ing of candy redhots, is served, with a dollop of sweet cream on its pinkish surface. It is a dell- cacy at any time, and most es- pecially to men who work long, hot hours in the prickly hay, writes Mabel Slack Shelton in the Christian Science Monitor. Even with the most modern equipment, farming is not easy. With primitive tools, it is often back-breaking work: Yet the very rhythm of Amish toil re- fleets a quiet Christian grace. On any given day the horses, are groomed, the cows milked and the chickens fed and water- ed before breakfast. These are daily chores. After the break- fast (always hearty) comes the appointed day's work. If it is "haying season, the girls may be called to help fork the long windrows of limp hay into piles for the baler after the most pressing household chores are done. They are excused jn time to start the big noon meal. Ev- eryone works until five o'clock, then the horses are unhitched and the harness removed. After the sweaty collars are lifted off, the horses' shoulders are washed with .warm water and carefully dried to prevent chafing. (Ani- mals are gifts of the Great Pro- vider and must be looked after tenderly.) Then they are fed and watered. Meanwhile the womenfolk have again fed and milked the made supper by adding what- ever seems required to the dishes served for the noon meal. After this last meal of the day, the work still goes on. If tomorrow is market day, the whole family pitches in to prepare the vegeta- bles, gathering, scrubbing, /siz- ing and tying them in bunches. The eggs-are crated, petishables ~ the springhouse. At last comes evening devotiohals, with the fa- ther or a grown son reading high-German from the big Book, and ending with sentence pray- ers from everyone down to 'the smallest child. A full day of hard work is be- hind the family, yet there are no cases of overwrought nerves or frayed tempers. There is the - soothing knowledge of tasks well done to speed them to their rest. This is the simple life. It will produce no renowned artists, no great writers nor, indeed, any written records of the people's daily lives except that done by - others. The Amish write nothing down except the names of their children in the big family Bible. Yet who would say they are not with their pursuits? peaceful, pastoral Modern Etiquette By Anne Ashley +#Q.--How do the bridesmaids "carry their sheaves of flowers A.

The saloon is so situated that when you are inside you are in West Berlin, When you step outside, how- ever, you are in East Berlin, The Communists have allowed a small area in front of the bar for customers to enter and leave but if too many congregate the Reds consider it a "provocation" and open fire with the hose.

Fifty strong, the German de- tachment slipped quietly into guard of the 84th Panzer batta- lion whose 400 men--with Amer- - ican-made tanks -- will start training there Sept. 9. The Brit- ish Government had agreed to provide training facilities for its German allies at the express re-: quest of NATO, but when the agreement was made public, -- Britons -were outrdged. The Ger- - mans, a thorough race, there- upon started preparing an ex- haustive military pamphlet call- ed "Hints for Visitors to Eng- land." ; ---Intended-as--a guide to the panzer troops, the pamphlet suggested: "Keep saying the word 'Sorry' to the people. This helps in all difficulties." "The English greeting 'How do you do?' is never answered, but must be asked in-return." "The German handshake is not practiced in England, and it is therefore necessary to wear one's wrist watch on the right wrist. For should one offer one's hand to an Englishman, and the out- stretched hand is not shaken because of lack of understand- ing, then one:can always quick- ly get out of this situation by looking at the. dial on one's wrist watch," ; One point was stressed: Gér- man troops might find the Welsh girls In a short supply. But this, a Lieutenant Siegel 1s 'sald to have added, "will give the men a beneficial rest, whereby they on y themselves together all" wrote The Daily "Cassandra, "this looks like the _beginning of a very, very beau- tiful friendship," 2 Grin. : . it is the surly bird that catches the germ. the heat and crowds. Men and | Heroes Who Don't Get Headlines! Among the thatched huts of a Mekong Delta village hear Saig- on, a mosquito-control team of eight men fanned out to. spray DDT in South Vietnam's constant fight against malaria. When the health officer in charge sounded the lunchtime signal, only six men returned. Three. days later, the bodies of the two missing men were found floating in the 'palm-fringed Binh- Chanh River. According to peasants, the two malaria fighters were killed by a"band of twenty men, presum- ably Communists, who wore dark clothing and carried daggers. Though lamentable, these re- cent casualties were hardly ex- traordinary to those acquainted with the peculiar hazards of combating malaria-bearing mos- quitoes in tropical Vietnam. Other reports about that strange battlefront last week from Newsweek's correspondent Fran- cois Sully: Six native anti-malaria work- ers carrying out spraying opera- tions 100 miles northeast of Saigon were kidnapped by Com- munist-infiltrated primitive bushmen. .

The _| mosquito-killers, said the am- bushers, were making village maps that might be used to track - rebel guerrillas, -- ---- ----" Since February 1958, when President Ngo Dinh Diem laun- ched a massive drive against the malaria-bearing anopheles -mos--- quitoes in South Vietnam, twen- ty eradicators have been killed and 30 others kidnapped. But as disheartening as this toll appears, it pales beside the yearly 30,000 deaths and 600,000 hospital cases attributed to malaria in that Country. With these appalling statistics in mind, Diem's health officials were determined not to let guerrilla violence slow their drive against one of the coun- try's greatest health menaces. Gen. Tran-Tu-Oai, chief admin- istrator of the anti-malaria cam- paign, said: "We have no inten- tion to. quit. This war against disease has to be won." To win it, General Oai has been dispatching an army of 2,000 brown - uniformed DDT sprayers to the remotest spots in his rugged country, in trucks and jeeps; on motorbikes, even, where roads allow; in 'outboard- powered canoes where streams permit. (The U.S. contributed $11 million, mostly in equip- ment, to the fight.) In the .jungle-thick Vietnamese -Cordil- lera, teams leave their trucks for slewer but more dependable elephants, Every hut is a target for DDT or a comparable mos- quito-killing insecticide; and in an average year the workers give 1,250,000 dwellings some protection against the debilitati- ing disease. Now, the drive is paying off. "North of Saigon, where roughly 3 Mirror's tart-tongued columnist |° 92 per cent of the dwellings (occupied by 6 million people) have been treated, officials have reported a sharp drop in malaria infection (7.22 per cent in 1958 to 1.48 per cent this year) found J _.in . blood _.slide,.. examinations. . With such results behind them, General Oai's workers hope to destroy the anopheles mosquito by 1965. To achieve this, eradication teams are surmounting dozens of bizarre obstacles, troublesome, if not as serious, as the ever-pre- sent possibility of death or kid- napping. Farmers, fearful that DDT will "poison chickens or spoil their tobacco leaf, try to drive away the sprayers; tough, . half-naked tribesmen refuse to Jet teams into the sacrosanct huts where local spirits are sup- posed to dwell. But in at least one jungle village, eradicators " have been cheerfully welcomed by the mountaineers: They have discovered that DDT, used on a bait of rotten meat is great for killing tigers. , "How will my girl friend treat me after we're married?" asks a reader.
