This winter in general will be a rough one, with cold waves the end of January, the middle of February and the start of March, the Almanac predicts. And while Easter and Labor Day will generally be fair in 1957, Memorial Day, July 4 and Christmas will be marked by storms, says the Almanac, a standard Pennsyl vania Dutch publication since 1825, But in addition to its usually accurate predictions on the weather, the 1957 edition, pub lished at Lancaster, Pa , contains a number of original pieces of writing which may well become American gems It presents, lor instance, a manuscupt which it says was untten 100 ago by “Abner Amencanus” and found recently in the chink of a Lancastei County barn Admitting that im possible to believe, the Almanac presents this 100-year-old fore cast by “Abner” of what life would be like in America in 1957 “Science will make people live longer, but to many these added years will be more vexing than their former alloted span, the world of 1957 will have learned what to do to lengthen life, but not how to brighten old age ” “Man will have captured new forms of energy, but will not have conquered himself; flying machines will take men around the earth, but unless the dove of peace flies higher than man-made inventions, wings will not save this civili zation; and no matter what flies faster than the speed of 'light, it cannot beat the speed of love.” s As a guide lor pi ospective grooms, the 1957 edition contains an “Almanac of Brides”, which sums up the characteristics of each month’s bride in a two line verse.
