Life Revolves
On a Cup of Coffee
By Gerald Miller
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia W —
If you like your coffee hot as fire,
sweet as a woman, dark as night,
chances are you’ll pass as a good
fellow in Yugoslavia.
There’s not another country in
Europe where the cult of coffee
plays such a large role in everyday
life.
“In all the 500 years the Turks
ruled us,” goes an old Yugoslav
saying, “the only good thing they
left was coffee.”
Coffee Turkish style is served
in tiny cups, thick with grounds
and foamy on top.
Social life revolves around the
cup of coffee and the ceremonial
of preparing it. Coffee etiquette is
precise.
When you visit a Yugoslav home
the first cup of coffee is served
as a sign of the open house. The
genial host, the welcoming hearth.
The next cup is the polite and
universally accepted way of say
ing “it’s been great, now leave.”
What the host does with his
coffee apparatus shows the dis
cerning guest whether he’s visit
ing with a suave man of the world
or a bumpin.
To get that tiny cup of coffee
means roasting the beans, cooling
them slowly, grinding them fine
and brewing them up with sugar
and boiling water in a small open
pot called a dzezva.
Only a slap-dash host would do
all this in the privacy of the kit
chen. The elegant way is to let
the guests observe the process
step bv step. This shows you’re
not trying to fob off any stale
beans or carelessly prepared cof
fee.
It also shows a sign of sophisti
cation to let each guest take a turn
at the grinder crank. It makes it
a reward for effort.
Coffee is the measure of the man
in Yugoslavia. Legend has it that
men who gulp their coffee boiling
hot wear the pants in their family.
Men who prefer to let it cool a bit
are hen-picked.
A man who drinks his coffee
with little sugar is a tower of
strength. A man who takes it
heavily sugared is a 90-pound
weakling.
There are almost as many ways
of making a cup of coffee as there
are Yugoslavs. It involves how long
to roast the beans, what kind of
paper to cool them on 'some people
prefer newspapers, claiming the
print lends a very subtle flavor
to the beans* and the amount of
coffee, sugar, water and heat.
Variations are endless.

LESSONS IN RELIGION ,
Hew can I claim to have
Known Thee, when the entire
creation is bewildered by Thy
mystery, and how can I confess
not to have known Thee, when,
lo. the whole universe pro
claimeth Thy presence and
testifieth to Thy Truth?
Baha'i Holy Script
The Baha’i World Faith recog
nizes no conflict between science
and religion. Science is our know
ledge of the physical world with
the mysteries of Creation giving
way to facts and general truths
which are discoverable gradually
by man.
Religion is our awareness and
expression of devotion to the Su
preme Creator. The Divine Educa
tors or Manifestations of God
gradually give mankind an in
creasing awareness and knowledge
of the Supreme Creator and man's
own spiritual potentialities.
There is no mystery to science,
as it’s laws are exact, predictable
and can be observed and verified
by our physical senses.
There is, however, great mystery
in religion, and the danger in un
derstanding true religion is in try
ing to oversimplify it. So much so
that an increasingly large percent
age of the people are either out
rightly rejecting religion as a basis
of their beliefs and actions or
merely go through the prescribed
formalities.
A bird needs two wings for
flight. Humanity requires science
and religion in it’s progress
toward an ever advancing civiliza
tion. Religion without science can
become suerstition and science
witnout religion can become a
nightmare of materialism.

LOOK BOTH WAYS
WHEN BACKING
Thousands of collisions occur
because drivers are careless when
backing their automobiles out of
driveways and in and out of park
ing spaces. And each year, hun
dreds of pedestrians suffer crip
pling injuries in accidents of this
type.
Before backing your car in any
situation, make certain the way is
clear, the Association of Casualty
and Surety Companies advises.
And while you are backing up,
continue to watch for cars and ap
proaching pedestrians.
