...game back in 1907, the pantheon was packed. What with such ranking deities as Father Obey, Elijah of the Fiery Chariot, St. John the Vine, and Joe World, among many others, the heavenly host could hardly muster enough worshipers to go around. So George, an itinerant lawn mower and hedge clipper from Georgia, settled for an apprentice apostleship - a "God in the Sonship Degree" - with Father Jehovia, a former Pittsburgh steelworker who had a cult in Baltimore...
Longtime farm-equipment makers, in cluding International Harvester, Allis Chalmers, Massey Ferguson and John Deere, have reached down into the new market. At the same time, such estab lished mower makers as Simplicity, Ja cobsen and Pennsylvania are stepping up to midget tractors. Large acreage and big income no longer seem to be requisites for sales: Harvester estimates that 70% of the buyers of its Cub Cadet own less than three acres and that half earn less than $10,000 a than year. The tractors are usually less than 4 ft. high, have 6-to 10-h.p. motors, move...
...expected to remain in the limited "premium"-or high-priced-market for years. But the prospects for conventional snow tires seem unlimited, despite the fact that they are a regional and seasonal accessory. In suburbia, they have become as necessary as the second car or the power lawn mower.

...calorie intake even of people who are telling the truth when they say they don't eat too much. Another factor in the board's reasoning is that mechanization is reducing the amount of body fuel that modern Americans burn up in physical activity. The power lawn mower figures in the need for the reference man to eat less, and electric washing machines and clothes dryers are important contributors to the recommendation for a 25-year-old, 128-lb. woman to cut back from 2,300 to 2,100 calories...
...versatile reporters-at-large. According to hour and season, Cheever skates and swims, drinks, dines, visits and walks. His home in Ossining is satisfactorily old (1790) in its history and comfortably modern in its appointments. Cheever has all the mannerisms of the proud landowner. He fiddles with his rotary mower or chain saw, or flails away with limited competence with an ax. He engages in target practice with his son, Ben, 15, who owns a Daisy air rifle. He worries about his unpruned apple trees, or Dutch disease in the elm where the orioles nest...
