JULY 22-28, 1974
Sweet indolent days about us now.
Sa\e your grass cuttings for the compost heap ... Mussolini
uustetl July 25, 1943 ... First quarter of the moon July 25 ...
Dog tlays begin tins week... Average length of days for week,
14 hours, 45 minutes . . . B-25 crashed into Empire State
Building July 2.1, 1945 ... 121 degrees in Alton, Kansas July
24, 1936 . . . Cape Cod Canal opened July 24, 1914 . . . The
pedigree of honey does not concern the bee.
Old Farmer's Riddle: What is everyone doing at the same time?
(Answer below.)
follow you around like a dog
and be as gentle as a couple of kittens. But when you put
them to ivork you will find that they will have their own
way most of the time. Either they will choose their own gait,
lay down if the going gets too tough, or they will run away
and smash things up.
Ho*n« Hint* A delicious whipped cream substitute can be made by adding
a sliced ripe banana to the white of an eg*. Beat with an eggbeatcr until
stiff . Riddle answer: Growing older.
