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

“In The Garden With The Children”
By MRS. DAVID W. 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. :
