“Your issue of February, 1975 has a photo (see cut) and caption by Erwin D. Stephens describing this longish beanshooter as a "juvember." Please fill me in on the derivation of "juvember." At first glance it appears to be a synthetic word, a contraction of either June or July and either November or December.”
“The nuts were little round balls, hard as granite, and […] there was hardly any meat in them, so we mostly shot them in our "juvembers", (a kind of slingshot).”
