Es Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch Eck By: The Late C. Richard Beam A collection of “Deitsch Eck” columns from past issues of The Shopping News honoring the late C. Richard Beam.

(Originally published in the August 2, 1989 issue of The Shopping News) FOLK BELIEFS FROM THE SHOEMAKER NOTEBOOK 351. Wammer vergesst was mer saage hot wolle, waar’s geloge. If you forget what you want to say, it’s a lie.

Or one will leave, or if no one comes, you are the sloppy person!

354. Wer’s katz End vum Bruschtgnoche grickt, muss es erscht schockle. The one who gets the short end of the breastbone, will be the first one to have a rock (a baby?).

355. Wann en Dischmesser ewwerschich uff em Disch leit, gebt’s Schtreit in der Famillye. If a table knife lies backwards on the table, there will be trouble in the family.

356. En Floh uff der Hand, en Brief vum Land. A flea on the hand, a letter from the country(side).

357. Wann noch “roifedem” imme Frack sin wammer’n aadutt, is er noch net bezaahlt. If there still are “???” in a dress when one puts it on, it isn’t yet paid. (Who can tell us what “roifedem” means???)

359. Wammer darich en Schpinneweb laaft, drefft mer’n Freind aa. When one walks through a spiderweb, one will meet a friend.

360. Wann en Schpeckmaus ins Haus fliegt, is der Deiwel dernoch. When a bat flies into the house, the devil is after it.

361. Me Gerechde reyert’s ins Graab; me Ungerechde in die Hochzich. It rains into the grave of a just person and on the wedding of an unjust person.

When one gets up in the morning, put on the right shoe first, otherwise there’ll be trouble before evening. *** This week, we again continue a series of folk beliefs which we have reason to believe were collected and recorded by Dr. Alfred Shoemaker in the middle of this century. You will note that these beliefs were recorded in the Lehigh, Berks and Montgomery County area. The vocabulary and grammar is that of “classic” Pennsylvania German and shows few signs of present-day deterioration.

We have retained the numbers given them by Dr. Shoemaker.

These old beliefs are worthy of preservation and publication, for they reflect aspects of the folk mind which are much less common these days. They clearly recall a time when rural life was far more isolated and visitors always welcome. Many of these beliefs will not withstand rational analysis, but in their day they served a useful purpose, for there were no radio and TV programs to clutter the mind.

We would be most pleased if our readers would let us know which of these beliefs are familiar to them. Do any of them remind you of beliefs which are not listed? Were any of our readers ever visited by Dr. Shoemaker? Please let us know if you were.

The most arresting part of his missive recounted being struck by a shell containing poisonous gas, which he likened to “the extreme terror of the man who goes under in the water and will clutch at a straw.” * On Sept. 2, 1945, Vietnamese communist Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam’s independence from France hours after Japan’s surrender in World War II, though it would take another 30 years for his vision of a united communist Vietnam to become a reality. * On Sept. 3, 1935, professional bowler Andrew Varipapa, considered by many “the greatest one-man bowling show on Earth” for his trick shot artistry still emulated by modern bowlers, set a record of 2,652 points in 10 games. * On Sept. 4, 476 A.D., Romulus Augustulus, the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire, was deposed by Odoacer, a German barbarian who declared himself the king of Italy, presag-

He was preceded in death by a stillborn son.

Jim and Joane Stoner are celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary. They were married on September 15, 1956 at First United Methodist Church in Ephrata.

High school sweethearts and graduates of Ephrata High School, they moved to

Denver to raise their six children: J.J., husband of Lisa; Jerry, husband of Joan; Jon, husband of Kathy; Jeff, husband of Mindi; Jill, partner of Steve Beck; and Judi, wife of Bryan Brendle. They have 16 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

Over the years, Jim and Joane enjoyed spending time with their family at the hunting cabin in Sullivan County and on their boat at Raystown Lake. The couple cur- (Continued From Page 1A) The goal of the Wreaths rently lives at Ephrata ManAcross America Mobile Edor. ucation Exhibit is to bring

ing what many historians consider the fall of the Roman Empire. * On Sept. 5, 1957, New York Times writer Gilbert

Millstein delivered a rave review for “On the Road,” the second novel by a Columbia University dropout Jack Kerouac. As his girlfriend, writer Joyce Johnson,

quipped to a reporter, “Jack went to bed obscure and woke up famous.” Though he wrote a total of more than 25 books, “On the Road” remains his most noteworthy.

The celebration will really hit the streets Wednesday evening at the annual Ephrata Parade. Bagpiper David Cohen will help kick off the parade, followed by a lineup that includes Uncle Sam and Betsy Ross, a human disco ball, stilt walkers, jugglers, hula hoopers, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu group and a steel drum band.

The Milton Hershey School Spartans will also make their first appearance in the Ephrata Fair Parade.

And naturally, the Ephrata Fair’s agricultural roots will be well represented. Highland cows, horses and Irene, the Fair’s mascot cow, are among the four-legged participants expected to make their way through town.

THIS WEEK’S

Biblical Message Supernatural Motivation Part 1 Author: Wenger Scripture: Colossians 3:23, 24 - “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord not men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.”

Our conduct: We are instructed that in whatever (anything and everything) we do, to do it heartily (with your whole being.) This verse brings new meaning to some of the daily mundane tasks we do.

Why? Because everything we do can be of eternal value, bringing glory to the Lord. It’s the everyday grind that seems so ordinary, but if we do all things for the Lord, our new motivation changes the task to an act of worship. Life in Christ was never meant to be a Sunday occurrence only. New life in Christ should affect every

in the everyday tasks as well as the prominent endeavors.

Excellence in our activities begins with excellence in our minds. Paul reminds us of this in Philippians 4:8.

“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything is worthy of praise, dwell (think/ meditate) on these things.”

We are to pursue excellence in all that we do. Daniel was an example we can turn to.

Daniel 6:3: “Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself among the commissioners and satraps because he possessed an extraordinary spirit (excellence) and the king planned to appoint him over the entire kingdom.”

I have personally committed Colossians 3:23, 24 to memory as a motivation to do all things enthusiastically and with excellence as the goal. At times, if I don’t want to complete a task or view it as unimportant, I can put a slack hand to the job.

Actually, it goes deeper than

waking moment of our life, whatever we do; it’s NOT just about Sunday. Our life shouldn’t be spiritual on Sunday and secular through the week. Every task can be an opportunity to worship if our motivation is as Colossians 3:17 states: “whatever you do… do all in the name of the Lord giving thanks to the God through Him.” How we perform is important… heartily is a command not a suggestion. In 2 Timothy chapter 2, Paul gives us examples of the good soldier who doesn’t entangle himself in the affairs of the world; the athlete who exercises great discipline; and the hard working farmer.

Whatever you do, do it heartily… extraordinarily, totally, completely, thoroughly, wholeheartedly, fully, with all of your soul and might.

There is no place in our Christian life for sloth, laziness, idleness or apathy.

Scripture says be zealous.

Proverbs 10:4: “A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.” Excellence is the standard and we are to pursue it

that… if I just don’t feel like doing it, I can turn into a sloth. The author must confess when asked for help from my dear wife, frequently I am (was) but no more… slack, grumpy, mumbling, wanted to quit before the task was complete and displayed a host of other bad attitudes. How we act at home, that’s how we really are. This is the proving ground for character. The way we treat our husband, wives and children; that’s the real you, not what we would like to project to the watching world.

When I memorized this verse, I realized how negligent I was. That’s the “mirror of the word” of God. In James 1:23-25 it states that the one who looks into the mirror of the word and not being a forgetful hearer but a doer of the word; this one will be blessed in what he/ she does. I believe you will agree, it’s the little things, the everyday… let’s purpose to do everything heartily.

Next week, we look at the motivation behind our actions “as unto the Lord and NOT unto man.”

Search And Rescue Training At Hawk Mountain Members from the Civil Air Patrol Jesse Jones Composite Squadron in Lancaster attended Hawk Mountain Ranger School, one of Civil Air Patrol’s longest-running and most challenging national cadet training programs, ending on Sunday, July 19. This year is the 70th anniversary of Hawk Mountain.

During the week-long training program, cadets rappelled, practiced land navigation, and learned wilderness survival and search and rescue operations. The participants learned aircraft search techniques used in downed aircraft missions including clue detection, evidence search, and terrainbased search patterns. There was also a visit from a medical helicopter crew, who landed at the training site and showed the cadets how air-medical teams prepare equipment, stabilize injured patients, and coordinate transport during emergency rescues.

The Jesse Jones Squadron had multiple members participate in the national activity. Captain Barbara McCutcheon of Lebanon managed the Hawk Mountain supply store. Major Jerome “Pepper” Broad of Pequea provided instruction on communications procedures.

Cadet First Lieutenant Lucy-

ann Draeger of Landisville volunteered in public affairs and Cadet Chief Master Sergeant Thaddeus Lippincott of Lititz, a Ranger 1st Class, was a team commander. Cadet Lippincott stated “Hawk Mountain has completely changed how I understand leadership and what it means to serve on a team.

Hawk Mountain’s program teaches leadership, field readiness, and builds confidence while supporting CAP’s emergency services mission. CAP Rangers trained at Hawk Mountain are expected to use the skills they’ve learned to improve their squadron’s emergency services program and lead fellow members in advanced search and rescue operations.

The Jesse Jones Composite Squadron meets each Monday (except holidays) at 6:30 p.m. at Alliance Aviation inside the Lancaster Airport Terminal on Airport Road in Lititz. Visitors are always welcome.
