dropped. The only time the cat
was to cross the path of Hitler was
via an airplane ride with a British
bomber.
But, lovers of dumb creatures
peppered the New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston, Baltimore, Washing-
ton, Chicago and Pittsburgh papers
with protests. Cynics penned vio-
lent criticism of ‘the fantastic pro-
ject. Much less would have been
done if the truth had been known.
The black cat taken by Steward-
ess Estabrook of the Eastern Air
Lines to LaGuardia Field was reared
by Virginia “Harding, mother of
Faith Hope Charity Harding, the
astral child with visions, Mrs. Hard-
ing brought out of the cosmos a
spirit known as Entity and said the
spirit advised the cat adventure,
but without mishap to the cat. Prior
to that Mrs. Harding of Trucks-
ville had claimed for her little girl
psychic’ and supernatural powers.
She said the child named for the
three virtues had baked a cake
when six months old, had walked
when eight months old, and had
delivered Biblical theses before she
was six.
Last time the Harding phenom-
enon appeared in print was when
the super-endowed little girl was to
be the central seer and prophetess
of a foundation in North Carolina.
That fell through and there was an-
nouncement of a lecture tour for
the sweet little person. That also
went by the boards.
What next? Who knows? No-
body excepting, perhaps, Mrs. Hard-
ing.
What wasn’t said about Fred and
Edna Kiefer of Shrine View, Dallas,
when they departed on Saturday
for Alaska on a ten-weeks’ hunting
expedition is what would be most
interesting to political groups, ser-
vice clubs, church congregations
and social entrepreneurs. Every-
thing was written in the newspap-
ers; all about their search for the
vicious Kodiak bear of twelve-foot
height and one-ton weight, a man-
eater if ever there was one; of
their hunt for the white mountain
sheep and the glacier grizzly.
But, Mr. and Mrs. Kiefer took
with them technicolor negatives to
a length of two thousand feet and
will expose all of it on the penin-
sula that is the northwesternmost
part of America. They will be with-
in the range of the Arctic Circle,
with only three hours of darkness
out of twenty-four, with glacier
rivers and the strange flora and
fauna of the bitter country.
And when Fred and Edna Kiefer
come home they will bring with
them a true record of the country,
along with pictures of such happen-
stances as bring them face to face
with Kodiaks, grizzlies, mountain
wolves and the like. ‘Some doubt

for a number of years, and was
finally replaced with the house now
owned by Mrs. Harry Anderson.
Mrs. Morris and the late Frank
Morris—longtime a postmaster here
and teacher in the borough schools
for some 25 years—were married
in 1891. The late Rev, Cooke per-
formed the ceremonies in the old
parsonage on Huntsville road—John
Sullivan lives there now—and the
young couple set up housekeeping
in the present home of Clinton Ide.
They moved up to Franklin street |
about 40 years ago. In those days)
the street was scarcely better than
a swamp during the winter months
—but at that it was no worse than
most of the borough roads. Two
great shade maples, oldtimers when
Mrs. Morris and her husband moved
into their Franklin street home,
stood like sentinels in the front yard
until just a week or so ago, when
they were cut down to make way
for road improvements.
Those trees went as have nearly |
all of the associations Mrs. Morris
had with the past. One morning
they were standing there, with their |
gnarled old roots still firm . . . and |
the next day they were gone, to
take their place among her mem-
ories.

ing the last decade but what an-

his bowl. It was impossible to pin
the murder upon him to the satis-
faction of his owner, but circum-
stantial evidence was certainly
against him. Where there once had
been two goldfish, there now were
none, and the turtle basked on his
rock wearing a peculiarly well-fed
expression. His owner pointed out
that it was clearly impossible for
so small a reptile to hold both gold-
fish simultaneously. There was no
corpus delicti. It reminded ‘us
of the farmer who fed his little pig
two buckets of sour milk, and then |
picked the pig up by the pail and
dropped him into the bucket. The
family did not care particularly for
the goldfish, nor mourn their loss,
but it seemed fitting that some small
notice should be taken of the crime.
So the turtle was doomed to ban-
ishment.
The house next door had a water-
lily pool which seemed a fitting spot,
so my son clambored up over the
rock garden in the dark of the
moon, turtle in hand, dislodging
minor pebbles and ground cover in
his progress, and dropped the turtle
in the pool. Every night there-
after he visited his pet, until Hal-
lowe’en. On that last evening he
was siezed by an irresistible im-
pulse to decorate the shivering
for the return trip to Wilkes-Barre
when it was transferred to a paste-
board box.
Having wasted their substance on
what passes for riotous living at
Virginia Beach, the three boys were
strapped by the end of the week.
They had between them enough
money for gasoline and ferry
charges, but outside of that their
pockets held nothing but extremely
small change. For lunch they bought
a pie at a bakery, then walked into
a restaurant and ordered three cups
of coffee, a plate for the pie, and
three forks. Then they divided the
pie into thirds and ate lunch under
the outraged eye of the hamburg
artist. The turtle, ensconced on the
lunch-counter in his cardboard box,
came forth and paraded in and out
among salt and pepper shakers, the
sugar bowl, and the paper-napkin
container. All three boys gave
bers of the Henry M. Laing Fire
Company Auxiliary and their hus-
bands and friends to hold a benefit

tongue simultaneously, calling the
waiter to witness the size of the
roaches in the establishment, and
pointing accusingly at the turtle.
The other diners left in haste, and
the boys left in a shower of cutlery,
also in haste. :
The turtle, delivered to the back i
yard in Wilkes-Barre, spent a mis-
erable day or so hitched to the
grape arbor, but was finally trans-
ferred to the bank of the river
where he took a relieved header in-
to the water and was gone forever.
That was two years ago. It is
about time for us to find another
turtle.

early years of Dallas. Other close
friends, now all gone, were Mrs.
Wilson Garinger, Mrs. John Greg-|
ory and Mrs. Chester White, Mrs.
William Brickel was a lifelong friend
of Mrs. Morris, too, as were Mrs.
Charles Barker, Mrs. Dan Nulton
and Mrs. J. E. Seward. There were
many, many others whose memories
are shared by their hundreds of de-
scendants living here and the few
oldtimers like Mrs. Morris who still
remain.
Mrs. Morris is the last of her fam-
ily to survive, but her brother and
three sisters will be remembered by
local folks. They were Mrs. Stella
Harter, mother of Harry Harter of
Trucksville; Mrs. Charles Cooke,
whose two children, Mrs. Helen Cle-
mow and Claude Cooke, live here
still; Mrs. Chester White, who ran a
butcher shop in Dallas for many
years, and Stanley Shaver, father of
Mrs. Clyde Vietch and Mrs. Marion
Brobst.
Of Mrs. Morris’ five children, four
are still living: Mrs. Howard Cap-
eroon and Ira D. Morris of Frank-
lin street, Russell F. Morris of Le-
Raysville, and Charles J. Morris of
Dallas, Texas. Her other son, Frank,
died several years ago.
the rock garden for some nights to |
come. The turtle was abandoned |
to the water lilies.
The next turtle of any note was'
the one that we found on our back
porch in Virginia, plodding serious-
ly round and round in a circle, at-
tached by a string to a tack in the
floor. On his back there was paint-
ed in white a very realistic skull
with cross bones beneath, and
H-I-C-K-S-E-S B-E-W-A-R-E print-
ed out in capitals around the edge
of the carapace. After everybody
had had a good laugh, we turned
it loose in the grass. The colored
choreman selected that day of all
others to mow the lawn in that par-
ticular section, and when he saw
a skull moving slowly and inexor-
ably toward him he thought his
time had come. His face turned
the color of ashes, and he left out |
a quavering yell that you could
have heard for a mile. He dropped
the lawnmower and went away from
there, and it took a lot of talking
to persuade him to finish cutting
the grass.
A few years later, on a trip to
Virginia with some friends of his,
once more my son picked up a
turtle. This specimen was a rather
