a Sn ese AN 00 PR ig. A x 74 THE DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA., FRIDAY, AUGLST 9, 1935. ie PAGE FIVE | Dear Editor: During the past ten years I have driven over many of the roads of the United States and Canada on hunting trips that have taken me into the most desolate back country. Nowhere do I remember driving over a more dis- graceful piece of road than the one you call a “highway” from Tunkhan- nock to Dallas. You may be able to offer some ex- cuse for such a road but why the State of Pennsylvania would allow a main highway running through some of the most beautiful hunting terri- tory in the State to fall into such dis- repute is beyond my comprehension, Pennsylvania annually collects enough from non-resident sportsmen, $15 a season, to have the Tunkhan- nock road with concrete forty feet wide. I understand Pennsylvania is making a practice of shifting its highway funds into relief coffers. Why not turn some of the non-residents’ hunting license fees into the highway funds not only so that sportsmen can get back in the mountajns to hunt, but so that the farmers who have to get their products to market and the mo- torists who love Pennsylvania moun- tain beauty cam drive from Dallas to Tunkhannock without losing their re- ligion. : r George Aldrich, .

SPRY of Shavertown Questions or suggestions for Mrs. early morning Sun, and there he plac His children Ever since, a garden «rid children have been part of one another, each essential to the growth of the other. ‘When the children have the freedom of a garden, feel the soft earth in their hands, and behold the miracle of sprouting seed, leaf, and flower, something so vital to the natural healthy growth of the soul has been awakened. Gardening should be a part of every child’s education, and though he has no other education save that which is necessary to make a garden flourish, he is well-educated. There is an indefineable something found in a garden, which is found more easily by the children than by grown up folks who have lost the way. The transition from childhood to young manhood and womanhood is more easily made in a garden, The underlying truth of eternal life touch- es all growing things, which reveals itself so clearly to children who live in beauty and enchantment. It is this spirit that must be preserved to be the ruling passion of the lives of grown folks. The, spirit of the garden and that of a child is in tune, for here is where they first. find themselves and where they return to be reborn after they have traveled far from the beautiful life: which was planned by the Creator. Then, we must have gardens for the This 1s the first of a series of articles Mrs. Spry will write for The Post, stressing the necesity for a greater appreciation of garden culture Spry may be addressed to her, care of The Post, or to Box 214, Shavertown. After God had created the world He gave His final touch in the form of a garden, planting it toward the East, where it could receive the glory of the ed the crowning glory of His creation, children where they c«m calch, enjoy, and learn about growing things, for their inspiration and soul refreshment as well as their dear lives’ sake, Here they will learn that the precious soil with which they work is the source of life, what riches the earth contains, how it satisfies the hunger and thirst of man and beast. Beautiful stories are part of every plant and growing thing, tales which thrill both young and old, Working in the garden with the child helps to tide him over the hard places of discouragement, teach- es him the art of waiting. Two people of any age, working together in a gar- den, sharing their labors and joys, de- velop a bond of friendship and com- panionship that is lasting and precious, filled with pleasant thoughts, colored with their beauty and fragrant with the perfume of the garden plants. A childhood spent in this environ- ment is truly a glorious one. Ve A gardening child will develop a certain poise and stability that will more faith and courage. If he fights slugs, cutworms, drought, flood, and pestilence in his garden he will meet an emergency on the school | ground with more grace. Tilling the soil and gardening serve - a twa-fold ' purpose. ‘They help - to develop’ his ' character while his plants are growing. : Board Expects To Have Annex ~~ By December 1 Hope: Third Set Of Bids “Will Fit District’s Purse oa (Continued from Page 1.) give these men a chance to show what they can do before offering any criti- cism.
