Strange But True
lyI.l!.MaeArtlnir
The first thing Mrs. Deswall dis- covered at her home in Brighton. lmgland, on her return after ill months in West Africa with her Anny Captain husband, was a month-old letter from the war De-
srtmsnt. It stated that the army could not permit her to Join her husband in Africa.
Three weeks alter Mrs. James snow, 70, of Aberdeen, M‘.Iss., got the best news of her life — oil was found on her barren 80-acre farm — she dropped dead.
A Connecticut farmer‘: hen started laying green eggs on st. Patrick's Day last year and has been laying green eggs ever since. strange but true!
In August, 1963, the bodies of a young couple who had killed themselves, were discovered in a hotel room In Takamatsu, Japan. Police identifed the dead as Chiei Osasawara. 25, and his girl friend liiroshl ikushime, 22. The griev- ing parents oi the pair claimed the bodies and gave them decent bur- ial. One week later Chlei and Hiroshi appeared at t eir homes, mystifying police over e identity of the hotel suicides.
The pint sized village of Bos- croger. France, was ages with Saturday shoppers on September 12, 1953. when a large truck with broken brakes came speeding to- wards the village down a hill. At that exact moment a flock of sheep strayed across the road and their massed bodies brought the truck to a stop. Seventy-one sheep were killed.
The gravestone in an old ceme- tery at Wiiiiamston, S. C. bears the etched outline of a horse's head which the superstitious resid- ents believe has a supernatural origin. The engraving has posed a mystery for half a century as a careful examination reveals no trace of chisel or other tool marks.
The stone bears the date: Oct. 13, 1901, and stands over the grave or J. W. I-iuif. The events which led to I-Iuii‘s death also are shroud- ed in mystery. One night. he hitch- ed his horse to a. wagon and set out for a ride. He and the horse were bosom companions. Later Huff's mangled corps was found beside the overturned carriage some distance from his home. The horse. pepole said, Just disappeared. Short- ly after l-luff’: funeral the etch- in of the animal was seen on the tombstone over his grave. Many persons insist that on moonless nights when the wind sobbs through the graveyard, they can hear the
neighing of a horse.
As. R. R. Rankin of Wynberg, South Airica, was driving in Bey- wode, South India. a dog ran out suddenly in front of his automobile and he was unable to bypass it. But on looking to the side and rear he saw neither dog nor corpse. Searching a. bit more he iound the dog suspended irom the fix- ed starting handle of the ancient auto, saved by a thread — a piece or twine. It was around its neck in place of a collar. on being re- leased the frightened animal ran off at a rapid pace.
A correspondent writing to this column wanted to know the name of the blind poet who walked the streets and chanted his poems to the music or his lyre 1000 years before Christ. I think the poet you had in mind was Homer who wrote the immortal “Ilis.d" and "Odyssey", but I could be wrong and if I am. perhaps some of our scholars would be willing to sup- ply the correct answer to your
sudapeet see back in ms.
Indeed, it is now an established fact that with patience and close application any animal above cer- tain organic standard can be hyp- notised.
Recently workers. digging a road bed in Southern Hungary, came upon an ancient burial ground. There's nothing new about find- ing old cemeteries, but this one contained the bones or many tiny skeletons —- in feet all the skele- tons were about the sire of an s- yesr-old child. The question that puzzled the researchers is: who was this race of dwarfs? To what country did they originally belong? And what happened to them? some day the correct answer to these questions may be answer- ed. In the meantime, we must be content with the bare facts of the discovery.

devotional period which opened by singing the hymn, ‘'0 Master Let Me Walk With 'I‘hee."
The scripture lesson was taken from Psalm 146 and was read by Mrs. Cook. Mrs. Edison Hardy led in prayer. Others taking part were Mrs. Richard Vessey, Mrs. Frank Vessey, Mrs. Harry Lewis, Mrs. Sproule, Mrs. Leigh Vessey and Mrs. Lloyd Vessey. Devotional period closed by singing “Take My Life And Let It Be."
Roll call was responded to by 10 members and two visitors with a verse of Scripture.
Correspondence consisted of a let- ter regarding oratorical contest and scrap book contests for school children.
It was decided to hold a party in the hall for the children who wrote the Temperance Examina- tions. Mrs. Richard Vessey and Mrs. Leigh Vessey were appointed to take charge of the recreation. Mrs. Edison Hardy to take charge of getting the ice-cream, etc.

they are the most valuable ele- ments in all great living. Wisely used they add dimensions and char- acter. During times of crisis the good Lord takes a hand in human affairs and guides us in solving our problems. It matters not that we have made mistakes and met discouragements, but only that we have faith to use those trials to- wards shaping a better life. It is said that Mr. Gladstone the Brit- ish statesnian, spent several min- utes morning and night in medita- tion upon the 3rd verse in the 26th chapter or Isaiahzz “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed in Thee." . . .
Pchaps this was the secret of Gladstone’: calm, straight thinking during that turbulent period in England’: history.

Perhaps they think you're quite boorish to neglect inviting them to your home. Vague invitations are meaningless. A casual “Do drop in sometime" conveys no proinise or a warm welcome. Instead. make a. definite date for your new friends to call. If you happen to find your- self the center of a group after services next Sunday, ask the people in for tea that afternoon, If you prefer. write or phone, asking some folks in for an evening or bridge. Canasta or—most popular of all at present——a word game. Make your hospitality simple-—or seemingly so. Don‘t strive to make an impression by serving elaborate refreshments. Make the atmosphere cozy. cordial and comfortable. If you have mual. cal talent in your family, center the evening around music. I do sug- gest, however, that you don't try to depend on TV for entertainment, Fol-ks can get that at home; when they visit they want companionship and good conversation. Get on the phone right now and extend that invitation.
DEAR MISS DIX: I have been married just a few months and am looking forward to the birth of my child in Septenibcl: My husband. however, seems completely indifferent to the baby; in fact, I don't think he loves me anymore. Marlon
ANSWER: Your husband's attitude probably is due not to lack of love for you. but to his inability to comprehend the great miracle iliat‘s taking place in his family. Many men don't realize fully the fact of their fatherhood until the small son or daughter is actually’ in their arms. A child never means as much to the expectant iaitlier as to the mother. Just be patient until your husband‘: attitude changes« as it surely will.
