Ph. 653-1821 T~~ ido’ s « W ebooV * hW* Recently I heard a speaker tell an audience that learning should be a life-long process. He suggested one year of formal college training to be followed by working and then studying for many years to get the final degree. All of us learn from ex perience, from other people and from books all during our lives. Lately, I’ve been reading biographies of Woodrow Wilson and Thomas Ediosn. Their backgrounds, upbringing and talents were quite dissimilar. Yet, when one reads of all their accomplishments, one is left feeling like a real “nothing.” I suppose as long as we strive to learn and serve it isn’t up to us to decide of what importance we are in God’s world. XXX I admit that I’m a real string saver. It is difficult for me to throw anything away. Last week I was able to repair a broken handle on a lunchbox because I remembered saving a worn out bookbag which my oldest child used 15 years ago. There it was on the attic under a hammock in which I rocked as a child. Nearby was some stovepipe from our first ATTENTION DAIRY FARMERS!

If you keep something long enough, it just might turn into an antique. xxx After a banquet in Lancaster, a lady from the southern part of the county gave me a branch of black alder from her farm and now I know that what grows in our lane is something different. When I wrote about my houseplants, another lady called to share an idea. She has beautiful blue morning glories climbing up strings at her kitchen windowsill. I’ll have to try that. I read somewhere “Ideas are like children, your own are wonderful.” Fix-It Tip Ice, snow and high winds can cause an electrical fail ure by pulling down wires and the only thing you can do about it is to wait sensibly until the utility company re stores service. Sensible waiting means staying away from the downed wire if it is near your home, posting warnings and barricades to keep others away. «-a
