PAGE SIX The Refuse Capital Of The World? Hanging in full adoration from anyone's kitchen wall, is that old family heirloom, passed on from generation to generationi, pro found in it's simplicity, is a framed plaque with the worth "Home Sweet Home," or "This house may not haVe all it needs, but it's clean." What for generations may have signified the presence of warmth and .cleanliness, may need to be changed for a better discription of not only the home, but the face of the greater Hazleton area. What now reads "Home Sweet Home," may eventually read, "As I walk through the valley of muck and mire, I will fear no evil, for my garbage collector is with me." The famed city of brotherly love has it's residents replacing their kitchen wall plaque to read "My filth is your filth," and "My garbage can runneth over." Out side Philadelphia signs will be erected that say "The beginning of the garbage pike," and at the Pocono Exchange signs will say, "Welcome to the Poconos The refuse capital of the World." Like the thirty pieces of silver offered to Judas, the city of brotherly love is offering pro posed dumping locations in the "Refuse C pital" a compensa tory figure of twelve hundred dollars.

Then there is that sweet aro matic fragrance of last month's half eaten cantolope, mixed with a rusty can of dried Cambell's creme of musroorn. Evolutionists say that man is the only animal that can adapt himself to any environment, but need we go from bad to worse? First it was the wilderness, then the Indians, then industrializa tion, then coal dust, not to men tion the Hazleton School Board. But must it now be other people's refuse? They should keep their garbage and adjust to it them selves. We have our own refuse to contend with. Besides, how can the Greater Hazleton Area ever become a prosperous tour ist attraction if we let it de generate into the attraction of garbage.

THE HIGHACRES COLLEGIAN COMMUNIST RULES - FOR REVOLUTION In May of 1919 at Dusselforf, Germany, the Allied Forces obtain ed a copy of some of the "Communist Rules for Revolution." Near ly 50 years later, the Reds are still following the mks. As you read the list, stop after each item and think about the present day situation where you live and all around the nation. We quote from the Red Rules: A. Corrupt the young; get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggeciniess. B. Get control of all means of .publicity, thereby: 1. Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy bookS and plays and other trivialities. 2. Divide the people into - hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance. 3. Destroy the peoples faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy. ‘, 4._Always preach true &nnocracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible. 5. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent. 6. Forment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude fon the part of government toward such disorders. 7. By specious argument cause the breakdown. of the old moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. C. Cause the registration of all firearms on gi - Aue pretext, with a view to confiscating them and leaving the population helpless. That was quite a list, wasn't it? Now stop and think how many of these rules are being carried out in this nation today? I do not see how any thinking person can truthfully say that the Commun ists do not have any part in the chaos that is upsetting our nation Or is it "just one big coincidence?" On April 28, the newly formed History Club of the Hazleton Campus held election of officers. The following officers were el ected: Joe Esposito, President; Carl Christopher, Vice-President; and Joyce Rupp, Secretary-Treas urer. All students majoring in. History.
