I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen the contortions he put himself through while he talked to her. For twenty minutes he rolled on the floor with his feet against the wall, until finally he was sitting on his shoulders and his feet anH the rest of his body were straight up in the air. “Down, Rover,** I shouted. He ignored me, but tackled me Just as soon as the conversation ended in another 10 minutes. “I want an extension phone in my room," he said, “so I can talk privately to my girL** “Since when,” says I, “has an 11-year-old anything he wants to say to a girl in private?” “But, gee. Pop,” says he. “Ev eryone listens.” “That’s too bad,” says I. “There’s a 25-foot extension cord on that phone and that’s enough. Take it into your room when you talk to her.” “All right,” ‘ says he, "if that’s the way you . feel about iL” “While I’m about iL” says L “sit in a chair and stop rolling •■on the floor when you talk on the telephone.” “But, Pop,” says he, “a guy thinks better with his feet up like that.” “That’s hard to believe,” says I. “But it’s a scientific fact. The blood rushes to a fellow’s brain and he thinks twice as good anri as fast.” “Too bad,** says 1. “that I didn’t know that fact when I was a boy. By all means, son, think fast and stay alert. Stand on your head if it will keep you from get ting trapped.” Just as I finished he screamed for me to duck, but it was too late. His mother bounced an aiuroi- ium pan off my head.

I REMEMBER BY THE OLD TIMERS A Pattern of Christian Behavior. Lesson for July 12: Romans 12: 1-2, 9-21. Golden Tesct: Romans 12:9. In this chapter, Paul gives a full outline of Christian living, beginning with the great goal of presenting the body as a sacrifice unto God, which is the reasonable service of Christians. Following this, there is a long list of fine exhortations concrroing Christian oehavior. Love must be pure and un feigned; it must be without hy pocrisy. It is to be nurtured within and exercisefi without, leading a man to abhor that which is evil and to cleave to that which* is good, and withouL being kindly affectioned one to another, com municating unto the necessities of saints, given to hospitality, and entering into the sorrows of others. To be at peace with all men is to be manifested by a large num ber of good things, especially by taking no thought of vengeance but leaving that to the wisdom and justice of God. If an enemy hun ger, feed him; if he thirsL give him drink. In so doing coals of fire will bo heaped upon an en emy's head. He will suffer remorse. From Mrs. Lester Blegler. Aber deen, 8. D.: I remember when mother and I twisted hay to burn and when father took wheat to the mill to have ground into flour. And although I don’t remember the evenL I do remember my parents telling me about the night the whole family slept in the sod stable with the live stock to keep from freezing to death. It was the year of the great blizzard in the west • • • From Mrs. Henrietta Sprague, Mesa, Arizona: I remember when we lived on a farm In Kansas some 70 years ago. Kansas City was the nearest town where we could buy supplies. My parents would go af ter them and drive a pair of oxen • • • From Mrs. Amanda Lowry, Co lumbus, Indiana: I remember when I was a child and my big brother was calling upon his first girl. He would dress and then have mother put on his collar which had to be buttoned. Her last words when he left the house was for him to be in by 10 o’clock. He neve/ failed to be in by that time. • • • Send , your contributions for this column to The Old Timer, Commu nity Press Service, Box 39, Frank fort, Kentucky. , Send your contributions for this column to The Old Timer, Commu nity Press Service, Box 39, Frank fort, Kentucky. v —■■ 1 i i Last Rites Held For Father Of Mrs. Lowman James H.
