There are those in Kings-
ton who remember high
bicycles. It does not seem so
long ago since bicycles were
ringing just behind you on
the sidewalk, or “scorching”
at ten miles an hour along
the cinder paths.
The bicycle was the first
step in an industry that is a
part of today’s life.

We have a new pastor at our
church, Alderson Methodist
Church. She also preaches at
Noxen, Kunkle and Ruggles. Yes,
it is a woman. We are glad of
that, because only a woman could
have moved from McClure, N, Y,,
her first charge, and enter the
parsonage at Alderson last Tues-
day, in the mess it was in and
still be able to overcome these
difficulties and preach the sermon
she did last Sunday.
She arrived with her mother
and nephew, a boy about sixteen.
He came to help her move furni-
ture around. The moving men had
left and they had had a moving
man’s field day. There was living
room furniture piled up in the
dining room, beds were in the
parlor, the kitchen utensils were
out on the porch, and in came

Some neighbors came in the

came back and rearranged other

We hope her patience lasts long
enough for her to get to under-

One time, Miss Underwood, the
Dallas Post ran a contest asking
the people to vote on what they'd
like this section to be called other
than Back Mountain. The contest
brought out a number of other
glowing names, but ninety percent
of the persons living here voted
that the name should remain just
plain Back Mountain.
It sounds rural, doesn’t it?

Disease is a personal event, de-
clared Dr. Alexis Carrel, noted
French surgeon.
It is fortunate when a doctor
has knowledge of his patient as
an individual and understands
something of his personal life, his
physical being over the years, and
his mental attitude.
The medical practitioner works
as an individual for individuals,
planning his treatment accordingly.

Man’s individuality gives medi-
cine a tremendous fascination, for
no two persons are alike and there

patients. |
As a rule, families are long ac-
customed to a close relationship
between their doctor and them-
selves, although it is difficult to
put into a few words what this
relationship stands for.
Some say it is professional
secrecy—the obligation on the part
of the doctor to keep inviolate
any information gained about his
patient during the course of the
doctor’s work.
It is more than a matter of
keeping secrets.
Confidence of the patient in the
doctor is built up by association,
and willingness of the doctor to |
become the patient's adviser comes
with a thorough knowledge of his
patient.
In the interest of physical and
mental well-being, the patient
must be free to choose his own
doctor.
Harmony between doctor and

And Six Dependents
By Phyllis Smith
un
The football season in Mary-
land brought us diversion from
the diaper, pie routine. Norm had
some friends at the Naval Acad-
emy in Annapolis so one day coach
Tom Hamilton called and told
Norm he could bring a few soldiers
down for the Navy-Penn game.
Back in those days the army
hadn't fully recognized the cry-
ing need for organized recreation
so Norm served under the in-
spired title “of Morale Officer” and
found entertainment as best he
could for the men.
The invitation to Annapolis was
wonderful so Norm tacked a small
notice on the bulletin board saying
that any boys who wanted to go
to the game should apply at the
Quartermaster ‘depot for transpor-
tation. He expected a small re-
sponse but when two training
battalions signed up he became
nervous, but neverthless arranged
transportation to Annapolis.
One night after Napoleon had
given us a resume of the day's
news, Norm casually remarked
that we were going to a football
game Saturday. “Just the two of
us?” I asked. I couldn't remem-
ber ever having gone any place
alone with Norm and the idea
was a bit frightening. “No,” he
replied, “I'm taking a few soldiers
along.” I soon discovered that
anything the American Army did
was done in the grand manner.
If more than one vehicle goes out
on the highway it becomes a con-
voy, and a convoy usually has a
pace setter or leader and that
was the position we found our-
selves in that great day. In my
maddest moments I had never
imagined that I would be going
to a football game with forty four-
ton trucks following in my wake.
By that time I had assumed the
shape of a penquin but to quote
Norm “not nearly as attractive”
and the red plaid coat I owned
was never intended to be worn by
two people but we wore it and
went everywhere together that
fall.
Norm pulled up in front of the
assembled trucks then got out to
check up on the drivers and say
a few words to the men which
boiled down to if any man dared
say ‘sink the Navy” once we
reached Annapolis he would be
tossed into the jug personally by
Norm when they returned to Ab-
erdeen. We roared on down the
highway, all conversation being
big trucks. I wanted to know
how Norm could face Hamilton
but realized our first problem
would be to get through the gates
of the Naval Academy. The guard
tried to give us a rough time and
Norm was very polite but it was
nearing game time so he finally
had to emerge from the staff car,
the mere act of Norm emerging
from a car would terrify the aver-
age man, so the guard retreated
into* his little hut as Norm said,
“Stand aside man, we're here on
maneuvers.” '
Facing Tom was not quite as
easy. He heard us approach long
before he saw us and his face
was a study. Norm looked a little
sheepish as Tom eyed the convoy
and said, “I hope you didn’t for-
get anybody.” Norm assured him
that they had left a skeleton staff
behind to keep the camp intact,
and thanked Tom for inviting
them down for the game.
The trip ‘to Annapolis was such
a success that Norm instigated
sight-seeing trips to Washington.
There were men from all over
the United State at Aberdeen and
many of them had never seen the
capitol so every Sunday we led
a large convoy into the city and
saw everything it had to offer.
To me it was a wonderful way of
escaping Sunday plane riding with
Napoleon and Wade, of course,
stayed at Port Deposit so he could
fly. The trips to Washington were
really fun and we would get home
at dusk and find the Koenings
waiting in the den for us. Through
the courtesy of the “New York
Times,” the Captain had boned up
on “The News of the Week in
Review” and could hardly wait
for me to remove my coat and
reveal my ignorance as well as
figure, both of which were awe in-
spiring. The Sunday pie was then
unveiled and eaten with great
relish on all our parts. Wade and
Mildred were asleep and once the
Russians were properly cussed out
we could more or less relax.
On Sunday, December the
seventh, just the thousand of us
were in Washington admiring the
Lincoln Memorial when news of
Pearl Harbor was released through-

Helen Gross has made a generous offer to all those who are with-

Thousands of gallons of the finest mountain water gush hourly
from the famous Oo-Stan-A-La spring and pour into the stream
that feeds the Hillside Filtering
Water Company.
Plant of Scranton-Springbrook
The spring has been known for generations and is supposed to
have been known to the early wandering bands of Indians who
frequented this area before the advent of the white man.
The name Oo-Stan-A-La, meaning ‘clear spring water” in the
Indian dialect, was given to the spring by Charles Weiss who built
the cool spring house and for many years sold the water in 5 gallon
demiijohns for 40c per bottle.
