If you wanted to look at pictures you loo'ked through a stereoscope held close to your eyes.

If you craved ice cream you filled a contraption with custard and packed it in a ten gallon pail and turned a crank on the back porch. Parties were held in homes for a molasses candy pull, followed by such games as ''Going to square dancing, "Post Office" or "Forfeits." Home at ten o'clock. In the winter there were straw rides or sleigh rides. When the boys went into the country they carried a ring of bologna and some crackers out of the general store cracker barrel. In school there were spelling bees or singing around the Estey organ.

Electricity was not used generally except in the large cities and the streets at night were lit by kerosene lamps at corners on poles. Stage coaches ran from the railroad station to the hotel or you were called for by father with the buggy or the' damocrat. The ordinary wear of boys were'short boots with copper The girls wore high buttoned shoes with a fancy tassel on top. Men wore high shoes with elastic sides. It was a time when the G.

A. R. held yearly encampments and at county fairs you watched harness races. The Fourth of July was a day of impassioned oratory on the public green, followed in the fall by kerosene torch light processions. In larger towns the horse car took you in a leisurely way from place to place.

There were no overhead trolleys or electric busses. There were also no ulcers. Presents at Christmas time were few far between but there were tr6es in homes and strings of pop-corn and gaily colored paper for decorations. It all seems exceedingly simple but young people had just as- much fun in those days as now, although they created most of it instead of relying on mechanical gadgets and supervised and organized play. We have moved but no one knows that it has been far or upward.

Consider safety, convenience, and cost. Check whether a product needs further diluting, mixing, or additional preparation. Ask the salesperson if it's easy to measure, dissolve, or Based on "Your Bank," by Dr. George L.

Lclfler, Professor of Finance, The Pennsylvania State University We often see out counti's standaul of living compaied to those of foreign countnes in terms of how many modet conveniences, like automobiles and ladios, we have. Something just as useful and convenient, but about which hear less, is the family bank account In the United States, almost every family has i a checking account or a savings account. This is as much a modern convenience, in a different way, as the family car. There are about 105 million accounts in commercial banks in the whole countiy, This means that there ai two accounts for every three people-men, women and children --which amounts to more than one account for each adult in the United States. The convenience provided by the family bank account is just one of the many things that Americans count on every day, and take for granted, but would be Consideied something special iu many other countnes.
