sub-division of Christianity we in-
herited there was nothing nearer to
them than a deaconess.
It was some time before the op-
portunity came, in the form of an
invitation to speak to the journalism
class at College Misericordia. Sister
Catherine, whose responsibility it
was to guide us on our academic as-
signment, fulfilled our fondest hopes.
Rostand wrote “Cyrano” some 40
years ago about people who lived
in the 1650’s but, except for her
strictly 20th Century mind, Sister
Catherine might have been one of
our old friends from Act Five.
Once a week for six weeks, that
year and again the following year,
we told girls how to write news-
papers leads and how to dummy a
front page and never to say an ac-
cident took place, and each Tuesday
after we had spun our knowledge
to a thin end and adjourned the
class there was a glass of ginger ale
and a plate of cake awaiting us in a
little room up the hall. Sometimes
Mother Loretta would come with
Sister Catherine or one of the other
nuns to sit and chat for a while.
They never knew how many times
it was on the tip of our tongue to
ask them if they had ever plucked
a plum from a tart or glanced in a
mirror at a new cap.
If it ever occured to us that this
was strange ground for a news-
paperman more accustomed to sul-
phuric police sergeants than gentle-
voiced nuns their kindness erased
the embarrassment from our mind.
Our first delight in discovering such
stimulating people changed into a
deep and abiding respect for their
nobility and perception. We came
to realize that beyond the heavy
doors at the end of the winding
road there was a kind of strength
and peace few people in this dizzy
world are privileged to find.

It was during those enjoyable
hours that we met Sister Miriam,
As a matter of fact, she startled us
by becoming an attendant at our
class. We say “startled” because
Sister Miriam is chairman of the
English Department and we have
never pretended to write anything
better than hurried journalese,
which must be painful sometimes to
English purists. Actually, we should
have been the pupil, and Sister
Miriam our teacher, but it is likely
Sister Miriam never even thought
about the irony of the situation.
She was a model student, and our
talk was below par the day. her
chair was vacant. She has that sort
of stimulating effect on people.
There are a great many flattering
things we might say about Sister
Miriam, because we have come to

Let us help you make certain you are properly and ade-
your property should fall victim to
fire, a dozen problems may confront
you. What should you do first? With
whom should you get in touch? How
should you present your claim? That is when you'll be
doubly glad you have a home-town Agent to whom to turn for
advice and assistance. For the home-town Agent is on the job
not only to help you plan your insurance program wisely and
economically but also to help you when disaster comes.
The Local Agency system is a basic feature of CAPITAL
STOCK COMPANY FIRE INSURANCE. That is one reason
why four out of five people choose capital stock company
fire insurance in preference to other types.
Farmer Will Get
Less For Milk
Reduction To Consumer
Is Borne By Producer
Farmers in this section who re-
ceived an increase in the price of
certain classifications of milk last
December will receive less for their
milk after the reduction to consum-
ers goes into effect on Monday.
Milk, which has been selling for
13c a quart in this district, will
be reduced to 12 cents, effective
Monday. John J. McKee, chairman
of the Pennsylvania Milk Control
Commission, said the reduction was
an “automatic feature”, provided
for when the price was increased
last December,
Price to the milk producer will be
reduced from $2.96 to $2.70 per
hundredweight. This means that
the farmer selling milk to dairies
will receive 26 cents less per hun-
dredweight.
admire her splendid character and
her intellectual honesty deeply, but
we think she would prefer that we
restrain that impulse. She will not
object, we hope, if we say some-
thing complimentary, though, about
her new book of poems, “Woven of
the Sky”, which suggested this
piece.
On the evening we received
“Woven of the Sky” we encountered
Dr. G. K. Swartz and the two of us
sat for an hour or more, reading the
poems and discussing them, Sister
Miriam’s verses are that kind of
poetry—clear, stimulating, thought-
provoking reflections of her own
vast and rich perception. Through
them runs the same lovely note
which we found in Rostand’s Act
Five, only now Sister Miriam has
given it form. This elusive quality
which we have sensed, but for
which we. have never found quite
the right words, Sister Miriam has
captured especially in sonnet
called “The Tower of Lowliness,”
one of the finest poems in a book of
fine poetry.
Since “The Tower of Lowliness”
says more than we have said in all
these words we feel sure The Mac-
millan Company, Sister Miriam’s
publishers, will forgive us for re-
producing it here:
Lady, scholar, poet, saint, you ask
Where lies a steeper way to climb
the tower
Of lowliness. With unconcern you
mask
Your sanctity, .your sanctifying
power.
Where you have fared how few
aspire or care
To walk. Men love the petalled
path that leads
To where you never are; refuse to
share
The hazard of the road your spirit
needs.
Not Beatrice herself in subtler ways,
Flushed by the reddening of un-
seen lips,
Stirred mortal man immortal God
to praise :
On earth in a divine apocalypse.
So long you contemplated God in
prayer
I search your face to find His
mirrored there.

work in light, airy quarters which
house four gas stoves, an electric
stove, an electric refrigerator, four
sewing machines, a complete kitch-
ette and a dinette set. Prospective
home-makers work here with com-
plete individual sets of dishes,

Boys Learn Craftsmanship
While the girls learn to keep
house, the boys experiment with
trades in a shop which has a metal
lathe, band saw, joiner, forge, an-
vil, drill press, metal-working bench-
es, mechanics’ benches, an oxo-
cetylene welding outfit presented
by L. J. Arnold of Lehman, a milk
tester and a harness repair outfit
for the ‘“aggies” and enough tools
for all.
In the roomy laboratory, 24 pupils
can work out experiements at one
time at benches equipped with hot
and cold water and gas and electric
heat. Adjoining the “Lab” is a
small room which has been fitted
out as a deskroom for students in-
terested in photography.
A combination radio and phono-
graph graces the spacious music
rooms, whose walls have been treat-
ed especially to confine sound. Here
Freight Cars Derailed
Near Nicholson Tunnel
No one was injured when eight
cars of a 45-car D. L. and W.
freight train were derailed near
Nicholson tunnel on Monday after-
noon. The wreck blocked both
main-line tracks for three hours,
and the wreckage was not entirely
cleared away until the following
morning,
classes in violin and trumpet meet
regularly and such groups as the
two bands, the orchestra and the
chorus rehearse. At Lehman, pupils
from the third grade up can study
instruments.
The library, which is the size
of two ordinary school rooms, hous-
esa modern card catalogue, in which
the books are listed according to
the Dewey decimal system. In the
commercial department pupils have
the choice of five different standard
makes of typewriters. The art room
boasts white “blackboards”, on
which the pupils use colored chalk,
thereby getting a contrast similar
to that when they use white paper.
Another novel feature is the “health
room”, where teachers or pupils
can retire in case of illness or to
rest,
Although the building is fire-
proofed, there is the additional safe-
guard of a system which, in case of
fire, sounds a horn, instead of the
more common bell. Class periods
are regulated by an automatic clock,
which signals the end of each pe-
riod, and the hallways are roofed
with celotex to deaden the sound of
Crews ToLeam
About Inhalators
Red Cross To Instruct
Harvey's Lake Classes
Classes to instruct a life saving
crew in the use of the two new in-
halators which will protect Harvey's
Lake swimmers from tragedy next
summer will be started soon in the
Daniel C. Roberts Fire Company
building, Chief of Police Ira C. Stev-
enson announced yesterday.
Miss Gladys Hill of Wyoming
Valley Chapter, American Red
Cross, has agreed to provide capable
instructors, who will teach Lake
residents use of the inhalators, a
gift from the Wilkes-Barre Post,
American Legion. The Harvey's
Lake Protective Association will co-
operate with the Red Cross in con-
ducting the classes.
One of the new inhalators will be
kept at the fire house and the other
at Warden Place or Sunset.
Townsendites Will Meet
Next Thursday Evening
Townsend Club No. 1 of Dallas
will meet on Tuesday night to hear
a special speaker. Refreshments
will be served. Those who have
not been attending are urged to
make a special effort to be there.
There will be a question and answer
period. The Townsend Clubs in
Beaumont and Forty Fort are pro-
gressing, the local club reports.
