SCHPAARSAM

ADDER GEITZICH

By Anna F. Faust

Ich waar uffgezoge bei schpaarsamme Leit.

Mir waare gewehnt beilege fer en notwennichi Zeit.

Mir hen net Esse un Wasser verschwend wie heidich, Awwer sis en Unnerschitt zwische “schpaarsaam” un “geitzich!”

S hot viel Leit as freigewwich sin in die Welt; S gebt annre as Bense petze un sin geitzich mit Geld. Mer brauch en net leie losse, wann mer en Kupperbens findt, Awwer fer eener unehrlich nemme, waert en Sind!

Fer alles selwert bhalde, hen mei Eldre net draa gedenkt. Wann en Beddler gegloppt hot an die Dier, hen sie ihm Esse gschenkt.

Wann’s kalt waar un er brauch Blatz zu schlofe fer die Nacht,

Hot der Pap ihm in Schtroh in die Scheier en Bett gemacht.

Vun ettliche waahre Gschichde will ich eich verzehle, Vun paar as zu schpaarsam adder geitzich waare, ebbes auszudeele.

Sie sin nimmi beim Lewe; sie sin gange zu ihr Ruh.

Ee Gschickt waar vun en geitzicher Bauer un sei Schaffleit.

Wann sie sich hiehocke am Disch, gebt er ne fer esse net geununk Zeit.

So gschwind as der Bauer paar Meilervoll ghat hot, is er uffgschtanne.

Die Scheffer hen noch net satt un es dutt sie verzanne.

Ee Daag hen sie zwische sich en Blaan ausgemacht:

Sie weisse ihn mol uff; sie hen zammer gelacht. Wann er widder’s erscht uffschteht, bekimmere sie sich nix draa.

Es hot gschafft: “Wann’s dann all gfresse sei muss,” saagt er, “helf ich aa!”

En Dochder hot mol ebbes fremm in die Buhne gfunne.

Eb sie nemmt davun, hot sie sich erscht besunne: “Memm, die Buhne sin wiwwelich; die kenne mir net esse.”

“Hetsche die Maul zughalde, hett der Pap sie gfresse!”

Mir hen so viel, unser Hend sin so voll!

Thrifty Or Stingy

I was raised by thrifty folks accustomed to save for future needs; we wasted no food or water like today. There’s a difference between thrift and stinginess. - Many people in the world are generous, others pinch pennies and are stingy. There’s nothing wrong with picking up a lost penny but to steal one is wrong. - My parents didn’t believe in keeping everything for themselves. If a beggar appeared at the door and he needed a place to sleep, Pop made him a warm bed in the straw in the barn. - I would like to tell you a few true stories about some too thrifty or stingy to share. No one will be hurt by my telling them for all the guilty area dead. - A story about a stingy father and his hired help. At mealtimes, he did not give them enough time to eat. As soon as he had a few bites to eat, he stood up to leave the table. This angered the others because their appetites were not satisfied. - One day between themselves they planned a plot. They laughed at how they would fix him. If he got up first once more, they

would ignore him and keep on eating. It worked. He came back and sat down saying; “If all must be eaten up, I’ll help too.” - A daughter once found something strange in the bean dish. Before she took any, she hesitated. “Mom, these beans are wormy; we can’t eat them.” (Mom) “If you had kept quiet about them, Pop would have eaten them!” - We have so much, our hands are so full. The Good Book tells us not to be wasteful, but rather share our bounty and not throw stones. The stingy person cheats himself of pleasure. ***

Of the stories in SCHPAARSAM ADDER GEITZICH, “die Anna vun Bannwill” writes: “The stories in this poem are true and my brother often tells them. I do not feel people are as thrifty today as they were in my youth because they have so much more than we had in the Great Depression.”

Today is Aschermittwoch, the beginning of the Lenten Season, a period of self-denial. We thought SCHPAARSAM ADDER GEITZICH might be appropriate for this time of the year.

Ash Wednesday, Aschermittwoch, as our readers know, follows Faasnacht, which is Shrove Tuesday. As all of you know, the last one out of bed on Shrove Tuesday is die Faasnacht. And the last one out of bed on Ash Wednesday is der Eschepuddel. How many of you heard that the last one out of bed tomorrow morning is der Siwweschlaefer? One source tells us that the first riser on Shrove Tuesday morning is called der Schpiellumbesuckler. Have any of our readers heard other forms of these Dutch words?

Un sell muss genunk fer die Woch sei. Next week we’ll introduce another new poem by der Buschgnippel, Ernest Waldo Bechtel.

Support Lions Beacon Lodge Camp

Each football season you can find the East Cocalico Lions Club selling their delicious French fries at all the home Cocalico High School football games.

Besides donating a percentage of the profits to the Cheerleading Booster Club, the club and specifically their customers are helping to support the Pennsylvania Lions Beacon Lodge Camp, a Special Service Camp for children and adults located in Mount Union. Every time the words “Keep the Change” was heard, the extra money was put aside and saved to be given to this Lions Camp. This past season, $550 was collected by the clubs’ generous customers and with the Clubs’ Matching Funds, at a recent club meeting the East Cocalico Lions presented a check in the amount of $1,100 to Past District Governor Bill Grager, member of Beacon Lodge Board of Directors.

Regarded As Holy

Author: Wenger

Scripture: Leviticus 10:3“By those who come near Me I will be regarded as holy, and before all the people I must be glorified.”

If we are to glorify God before all the people, it is incumbent upon us that our life reflects God’s likeness. If our life doesn’t match the message of our mouth, we will be like Lot when he tried to help his family escape the imminent destruction of Sodom. Remember, his daughters and sons-in-law didn’t take him seriously. He said, “‘Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!’ But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.” (Genesis 19:14).

The world needs to know and see that you are different, they aren’t looking for perfection, but they don’t want to see abject hypocrisy either. Lot lived in Sodom. Yes, I know it says his righteous soul was vexed daily because of what was happening there. He was somewhat of a town official as well because he was sitting at the gate of the city when the angels arrived. The city gate is a place of authority and where civil cases are heard. Yes, you could live in Sodom and glorify the Lord, but it goes on to say that when the angels said get out of Dodge, he hesitated. Finally, the angels had to take him and his family by the hand and pull them out. Lot was too connected to Sodom to glorify the Lord. We need to make sure we aren’t living in Sodom.

So, just how do we glorify God before the people?

One way is to believe in and speak to others about God’s creation, instead of the falling prey to the false hypothesis of evolution. “The heavens declare the

glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” (Psalms 19:1). Study so you understand the evidence, and be prepared to defend it. That is what Peter means when he said, “Always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you,” (1 Peter 3:15). We are not making blind leaps of faith as the atheists claim. Our faith in intelligent design is more reasonable than any big bang theory. Our faith is evidence-based and substantial. Design is an indisputable fact. Design requires a designer. Now with the advent of Nanoscience, we can see firsthand the tiny machines inside of cells that produce enzymes and perform complex operations. Look up Nanoscience for yourself. You can look to creation and see God’s glory in its design. Creation truly declares His handiwork. Invest some time in study, it’s fun and brings glory to God

Another way to glorify God before the people is to do our very best in every task we seek to accomplish.

“Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.” (Colossians 3:23). I will never forget this as long as I live; I had a shop class assignment in tenth grade. We were to build a cabinet. I threw something together and it was obvious I didn’t care. The hinges were crooked, and the door was crooked and wouldn’t close. The whole thing was lopsided. The shop teacher put it up on a pedestal on the table in the center of the shop. He put a note in front of the project with my name on it. It was there all day until I had my class at the end of the day. That meant every student in the school that had shop class saw this horrible project. I couldn’t have been more embarrassed. It did teach me a lesson. Do your best in everything. No shoddy work for anyone at any time.

We will finish glorifying God before the people next week.

* On April 15, 1945, British troops liberated the German Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where they discovered thousands of dead and rotting corpses, and many more thousands of sick and starving prisoners confined to severely overcrowded and dirty compounds. The prisoners were suffering from acute typhus, typhoid and tuberculosis due to a lack of running water. More than 30,000 others had died

in the previous months, many from typhus, but even more from starvation.

* On April 16, 1964, The Rolling Stones’ debut album, “The Rolling Stones,” issued in the U.S. as “England’s Newest Hit Makers,” was released. The band consisted of lead singer Mick Jagger, rhythm guitarist Brian Jones, lead guitarist Keith Richards, bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts.

U.S. government announced a campaign to increase organ donation awareness with the hope of making the procedure as widespread as donating blood, following similar campaigns from other countries around the world as organ transplants became more common.

* On April 18, 1997, major floods in Grand Forks, N.D., caused by the Red River’s breaching a dike, necessitated the evacuation of 50,000 residents from their homes. In some areas, only the roofs of their houses were visible.

* On April 19, 1897, the world’s oldest annual marathon run took place for the first time. Today the Boston Marathon ranks among the world’s most prestigious road racing events, with an average of 20,000 participants, and is one of five members of the

World Marathon Majors, which also include the cities of London, Berlin, Chicago and New York.

* On April 20, 2008, Pope Benedict XVI visited Ground Zero in New York, the scene of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the city’s Twin Towers, at the end of his six-day tour of America. He greeted survivors, fire and police workers, and relatives of some of the 2,749 people who died at the scene, and prayed for the rescuers and victims, as well as “those whose hearts and minds are consumed with hatred,” before celebrating Mass at New York’s Yankee stadium.

* Have stubborn stains in the toilet? Put some teeth in your cleaning job by dropping in a denturecleaning tablet and letting it sit overnight. In the morning, scrub and flush. It just might do the job.

* “Lighten blemish spots on your skin with lemon juice. Just dab on several times per day.” -- O.M. in Georgia

* Save power with this tip: Use cold water to wash towels and jeans. Then hang them to dry -- preferably outside, but on an inside line is OK, too. When they are mostly dry, pop them in the dryer on air dry to fluff up. Towels and jeans take the longest to dry in the clothes dryer, and use a lot of electricity.

* Take soap scum right off your shower curtain -- spray with vinegar and water mixture, then throw it in the washer. Hang it right back up, and those mildew stains are gone!

* “When canning or doing another job, always do the thing you hate first, then the rest will be easier.” -L.D.W. in Illinois

* On April 21, 1918, Baron Manfred von Richthofen, the German ace pilot popularly known as the “Red Baron” and credited with 80 confirmed air combat victories, was killed in action during World War I.

* “Collect small bits of soap into a cup or jar. When you have several, add a tablespoon or two of water to the cup to soften the soap pieces. When they are moderately soft, pour out the contents on a washcloth, fold it over and press into a bar shape with your hands. Peel away the cloth to reveal what should be a reasonably solid new bar of soap.” -C.T. in Pennsylvania

* “I had to pick up a bunch of BBs that spilled in our garage. It was very aggravating, until I decided to get out my vacuum. I put a very thin sock (didn’t have any panty hose) on the end, and tucked it into the hose. I secured it with a zip tie. I was able to suck up most of the BBs, and they went right back in the container.” -E.L. in North Carolina

* If you make your own broth, you can freeze cubes in easy-to-measure amounts by using your muffin tin.

Measure out broth in half cup or cup amounts, then freeze. When done, pop them out into a freezer-safe baggie.

* Try this trick to increase the volume when listening to music on your phone (without earbuds, that is): Place it in a deep bowl. The bowl amplifies and directs the sound.

* Chrome is easily cleaned and shined up with vinegar. Keep a misting bottle in the bathroom to give handles a quick swipe after getting ready in the morning or evening.
