WHAT IS YOUTH?
“Youth is not a time of life,
it is a state of mind. It is not
a matter of ripe cheeks, red
lips, supple knees; it is a tem
per of the will, a quality of
the imagination, a vigor of the
emotions; it is a freshness of
tile deep springs of life. Youth
means a temperamental pre
dominance of courage over
timidity, of the appetite of
adventure over the love of
ease. This often exists in a
man of fifty more than a boy
of twenty. Nobody grows old
merely by living a number
of years; people grow old
only by deserting their ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin,
but to give up enthusiasm
wrinkles the soul.
“Worry, doubt, self-dis
distrust, fear and despair,
these are the long, long years
that bow the head and turn
the growing spirit back to
dust. Whether seventy or
seventeen there is in every
being’s heart the love of won
der, the sweet amazement of
the stars and starlight things
and thoughts, the undaunted
challenge of events, the un
failing child-like appetite for
what is next, and the joy in
the game of life.

All this is a beautiful pre
lude to what I wish to say
about a young man of 85.
So many of the above state
ments are applicable to my
brother-in-law with whom we
have just made our acquain
tance. Why? Because in spite
of his years he still thrives
on adventure and there is a
‘freshness of the deep springs
of life.’’
With his wife Margaret, to
whom he was married five
years ago in Africa, he is in
the States on leave until Dec
ember 15. Margaret is a
missionary in the town of
Makawasa in that section of
Africa which was Nyasaland
before independence was
gained.
Willard drove their camper
across the country to Cali
fornia this spring, and back.
One day's driving was over
000 miles which would have
exhausted even a younger
man and all he would confess
was that he was “a little
tired”.
Many of his stories of
African experiences were in

5 teresting ami as many miss
ionaries as we have in town
and here for assemblies it
would seem that most of the
customs of every area of the
, globe have been explored,
f One series of events from
his collection we thought un
• usual and will repeat.
There are no earthworms
in Africa, for reasons you
will see as the story unfolds,
so Willard, loving a garden
and flowers, took 1,000 worms
packed in damp earth in a
suitcase back with him on one
trip from this country. On the
steamer going over the ste
ward apologized for some
one having placed Willard’s
suitcase in water which ap
parently had streaked and
stained the bag. Even while
they were talking the worms,
perhaps feeling the need of
air, began to work their way
out of the side of the suit
case. The steward’s eyes got
larger and larger and fin
ally he said “MR. GILL,
WHAT HAVE YOU IN
THAT SUITCASE?”
Once arriving home with his
treasures he turned them
loose and for a little time as
they worked the capsules of
earth to the surface and he
transferred the deposits to his
plants everything went well.
Then, he realized their num
ber was decreasing alarming
ly and on investigation found
that ants were devouring them
rapidly. He dug all he could
find and placed them in boxes
protected from the ants and
before they left Africa in
May he had around 45,000.
The use of this dirt they
worked to the surface above
their hills or homes is quite
rich and when used on flow
ers and vegetables is a re
markable fertilizer or stimu
lant which produces mam
moth ei?.ed results.
For those who have seen
“Unto These Hills’* and re
member the Cherokee Strip in
Oklahoma we thought it rare
to find that Willard, when a
young boy. had witnessed the
opening of that land to set
tlers and remembered the ex
citement of the “take-off”
when the gun was fired for
the land grabbers to race to
the territory to settle and
claim the land they wanted.
Many, he stated, thinking bet
ter land lay ahead, passed up
the first they reached, look
ing for greener pastures and
on their return to stake
claims, found the most desir
able acres already taken.
Because of this and my en
thusiasm about the outdoor
drama the family went to
Cherokee for one day and his
one very expressive comment
was: “Thank you so much for
taking us, I never witnessed
anything like it.” He had
wanted to see the Cherokee
more than anything in

Not only has the organizat

but three of the largest con

As has been pointed out
before, local support is sup
posed to come up with a good

industry feels that they

This is only fair; if the people
who are most concerned do
not feel the effort worthwhile,
then why should those who

Thirty members of the Watts

Mrs. J. Wash Watts for what >
was to have been a happy day

Falling from the rather high
veranda, he suffered a frac -
tured elbow and had to spend
several days in the hospital.
The little fellow is the young

Funniest Play
Of Broadway
At Playhouse
“Never Too Late,” by Sum
ner Arthur Long, the funniest
comedy recently on Broadway,
opened Tuesday evening Aug
est 10 at the Fiat Rock Play
house. The New York critics
raved about it: “Something
we have not had in the theatre
for a long, long time-a good
oldfashioned domestic farce”
“its a mad, mad show”
“it should run and run and
run.” And it did run for over
two years with Maureen O’
Sullivan, Paul Ford and Orson
Bean in the leading roles.
Arthur Godfrey played it in
winter stock in Florida and in
New York.
Harry Lambert, a settled
man in his fifties, suddenly
finds his world turned topsy
turvy when his wife of 25
years or more announces that
she’s having a baby. And the
pretty little wife changes from
an efficient housekeeper to a
fragile doll (on her doctor’s
advice) who faints upon the
slightest provocation. Their
only other child is a daughter |
in her twenties, married, but j
still the spoiled girl living at
home with Mom and Dad. She
and her husband find their
lives completely upset too. For
instance, what would you do

the Mayor, finbs a bathroom
