It is with mixed emotions that I
see winter approaching.
Hopefully there will be more
time to relax and do the many
things we enjoy. There are lots of
jobs to do such as plant »the
wheat, roof the addition to the
barn and store machinery before
we can relax.

This Fall I spent a peaceful day
at Camp Swatara in Berks
County In the afternoon, I
followed a trail up into the woods.
After walking a mile or so I found
a flat stone to sit on and listened.
The only sound was a blue jay in
the distance and a tiny sound
nearby. It turned out to be merely
a cricket moving from one dead
leaf to another. After a period of
meditation I was surprised to
notice a chipmunk scurrying
around under the oaks.
It really won’t be too long until
the mountains are covered with
snow and it is deer hunting time.

During my almost 20 year
relationship with PTA and Home-
School groups, attendance has
always been a problem. Parents
come to the first meeting to see
the child’s room and teacher.
Then, they often do not appear
again till next year. The wide
variety of programs planned
doesn’t seem to draw them.
Pork Workshop Set
The 2nd Annual National Pork
Promotion Education Workshop,
sponsored by the Pork Industry
Committee of the National Live
Stock and Meat Board, is
designed to help solve some of the
practical problems faced by
professionals in the field of pork
promotion, according to John D.
Lane, Committee Secretary.
This year’s workshop is
scheduled for October 25-26, and
will be held in the Meat Board
offices in Chicago
A National Decline
Deaths fiom cancel of the
uloins base declined about 50
percent m a geneiahon. This is
due in huge pait to eaily detec
tion hv the Pap lest and piompt
treatment, says the Amcncan
Cancel Society.

However, last year our local
group was successful with a
program planned and par
ticipated in by the children
themselves. There were songs,
original poetry and instrumental
music. It reminded me of the
Christmas programs presented
annually in the two-room school
at Oregon years ago. Sometimes
the old ways are the best ways.

Housecleaning time and spider
webs. I don’t know if my old
house has many more cracks
than the average home, but the
spiders and I wage a continual
battle. What I undo one day they
do again the next - a pox on
them.
