This is the time of year when
the mourners get out their crying
towels and worry about how many
of their fellows are going to be
killed in the woods, for hunting
season is close at hand. The small
game season starts in two weeks,
The boys will be after bucks: De-
cember 1st, and then there will
be one day of doe hunting when
everybody and his brother will be
out blazing away.
Not a hunter, we would prob-
ably make an ideal companion for
some one who likes to stand in a
deer run and shoot. We'd rather
take a stick and keep walking
while beating the brush, chasing
game down for some one else, We
just couldn’t kill one of those sad,
brown-eyed animals—our consci-
ence would bother us—and still
we realize our conscience also
should bother us if we are willing
to chase game toward an almost
certain end. If you can wunder-
stand that philosophy, you can
understand the guy who mourns
about hunting accidents and makes
a fuss about automobile crashes.
We read somewhere that more
people die in bathing accidents,
than in hunting. We don’t know
whether that is true and we are
too lazy to look it up, but we are
sure of one thing no one ever asks
people not to bathe. As soon’ as
there is a hunting accident people
shout, and the newspapers come
out with headlines and wonder
why persons still want to hunt.
Newspaper editors, it seems
sharpen their pencils for the first
hunting accident so they can write
an eight column head but ignore
entirely the mishaps in a bathtub.
This is human nature, we suppose.
If we were lying wounded in the
woods we would be flattered if a
reporter approached with a
“walkie-talkie” to get our dying
words, but if he appeared in our
bathroom while we were in the
tub with a broken leg we'd wonder
if a guy couldn't have an accident
without some ‘idiot walking in on
him.
S-o---we are in sympathy with
the hunter. i
We are henpecked ourselves, We
realize what a tough time the
hunter must have in getting out
of the house to his favorite sport.
. So, you wives of hunters, don’t
worry— your husband, brother or
son will probably be safer in the
woods during November and the
THE POST, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1949
first ten days of December than
we'll be in our bathtub.
We confess that we have an ul-
terior motive in enjoying the fact
that your men folk like to hunt.
We hate to pay taxes and the
money that is paid in licenses re-
duces our burden. $1,896,016 in
fees with an additional $48,308 for
duck stamps was spent last year
by Pennsylvania hunters. Maybe
we shouldn’t have told you this—
but what the heck, it’s all printed
in the magazine laying at your
husband’s elbow right now.
We asked Leo Stout, of Shaver-
town, hunter extraordinary, to look
up some statistics for us for this
article and he has produced more
figures than we ever thought pos-
sible, to prove that hunting is less
dangerous than many other sports.
Maybe we will print some of them
next week, or maybe we won't. It
is all according to whether we will
be in the mood to make statistics
interesting. i
But ladies, we implore you,
don’t waste your worry about your
men going hunting. They are com-
paratively safe, Save your anxiety
for the kid on the softball field,
for the sighseers in automobiles,
for the pedestrian crossing a street,
and breathe a prayer for us as we
place our foot on that lurking piece
of soap at the bottom of the tub. |

Township Fair
Dear editor:
The biggest campaign sponsored
by the Athletic Committee of Dal-
las will be at the School Fair, Oc-
tober 21 and 22.
Started three years ago to pay
athletic expenses, proceeds from
the Fair will now be used to pay
for the fourth largest addition to
the Township School since 1927.
This project, the new athletic
field, was started by the loyal, in-
terested alumni, men and women
of Dallas Township, Mrs. Kate Wil-
son and your chairlady of the
Fair, Mrs. Arthur Newman.
Our ambition is for a bigger and
better Dallas, free of corrupt poli-
tics and with good will for the
youth of our community. - Better
social, moral and educational op-
portunities are our aim. The goal
is high and our success we feel
will be sure.
We wish to thank all of the
business people of Dallas for their
co-operation and interest and .we
would like to meet everybody at
the Fair tonight or tomorrow night.
' Sincerely,
Mrs.. Arthur Newman

BROADWAY and MAIN STREET . . .
By Billy Rose
This week I'd like to spin a little
story—a very, very little story. It's
of no great importance, and I won't
get mad if the editor decides to file,
it in the wastebasket, and in its
place print some big story about
Marshal Tito or Rita Hayworth’s
baby.
To begin with, this story con-
cerns itself with a church, and a
lot of bright people will tell you a
church is no longer of any im-
portance in this test-tube and Bun-
sen-burner age. To make matters
worse, the church is in Brooklyn,
and—well, I guess you've heard
plenty of jokes about how unim-
portant Brooklyn is
One day last summer while driv-
ing past a church on St. Felix
Street in Brooklyn, I heard a set
of chimes that did nice things to
my ears. They were unusually
good chimes, and figured to have
cost a lot of money. Naturally, I
wondered how they happened to
be in the belfry of a modest church
in a modest neighborhood.
“What's the church with the
chimes?” 1 asked a newsstand
proprietor.
“Hanson Place Central Church,”
he said. “It’s Methodist.”
“Have they had those chimes
long 7”
“No,” said the newsie. “I think
they put them in about a year
ago.”
The next day I did some tele-
phoning, and I liked what I found
out.
When Rev. John Emerson Zeiter,
pastor of the church, heard about
a new type of electrically-control-
led chimes called Carillonic bells,
he told his congregation about
them and said it would be a nice
thing for the neighborhood if
people going to work in the morn-
ing and coming home at night
could hear those beautiful chimes.
He told his flock the bells cost a
lot of money, and suggested they
contribute a little something from
time to time. Maybe in a year
or so, the church could afford the
bells.
Next day a member of his parish
phoned. “I've been discussing the
bells with my business partner,”
said the parishioner, “and we'd
like to donate a third of the cost.
But there's a hitch.”
“What is it?” asked the Rever-
end.
“Well, my partner is Jewish,”
said the businessman, “and we
were wondering if that would make
any difference.”
Reverend Zeiter said he didn't
think it would make any difference
at all.
“We think,” continued the bus-
inessman, “that it would be a good
idea to find a Catholic to put up
the other third. After all, people
(of all faiths are going to enjoy |
{ these bells.”
The next day a Catholic in the
neighborhood offered to put up the
remaining third, and the Carilloni¢
bells were ordered. At the dedi-
cation ceremony a couple
on the wall of this Methodist
church, and inscribed on it were
the names of the Catholic, the
Protestant and the Jew .
An that’s all there is to this
story—this very, wery little story.
Do I think this one set of electric-
ally-controlled bells is going to
eliminate religious bigotry in
Brooklyn? Of course not.* Do I
think the people in Flatbush who
hear the chimes are going to be
kinder and more tolerant? Again,
of course not.
Why, then, am I writing this
piece? Well, I guess it’s because
I'm fool enough to think that even
one drop of clean water falling on
a dusty street is important. Who
knows? It may clean up an inch
of ground and give somebody else
an idea. One of these days— and
I don’t expect to be around to see
it—a lot of drops of clean water
may fall and a lot of dust may be
washed away,
