It's surprising how how much more slowly our larder is depleted. Even the cat and dog have a chance to catch up on some much needed rest. Sure nice to see them come home after school though. Driving behind a beat up car in town the other day I noticed a sign on the back of it that was quite to the point. It read “Don’t bump me, I'm getting old”. Sex perversion seems to be the main topic of conversation these days and is certainly controlling the headlines. The young folks who read these stories must wonder why we adults talk so much about juvenile delinquency when there's so much adult delinquency. Dallas is a real big town . . . it has its own liquor store. Anyone who has a loose $10,000 lying around in an old sock some- where please see Harold Dymond at the Dallas Hardware Store. He's got a good investment he would like to talk to you about. I see that “Gone With The Wind” is being replayed at the Dallas Out- door Theatre this week. Kind of brings back old memories. Where were you when the show was first released about 12 years ago? I re- member seeing it the first time when I was a senior at Penn State. I sat up in the balcony holding hands with the girl I had just mar- ried and imagining myself as a romantic Rhett Butler. SAFETY VALVE Dear Editor: Every American everywhere, we think, felt a sense of shock and of personal loss at the news that Hur- ricane Carol had toppled the tower and spire of Boston's Old North Church . . . for this shrine of Free- dom belongs as much to all America as Phiadelphia’s Independence Hall. But for the lantern signals—‘“two if by sea’’—that triggered Paul Re- vere's ride and roused the country- side to the first armed resistance to the British, the Liberty Bell may never Have sounded. And ° the thought of the tower, from which our freedom stems, lying in rubble in the street is grim and forebod- ing . . . especially in these days of our indecision. The wreckage, however, was quickly, even tenderly, cleared away. Bits that can be salvaged or restored are being carefully saved. The proudest spire in America will be rebuilt—and promptly. But it should be restored, not by a few large gifts, but through the small contributions of the men, women and children of all America, in all the forty-eight states, in Alaska and Hawaii, and in all the towns and hamlets and cities thereof. ; That this is the wish of Americans is a safe assumption. But it will be necessary to remind them that they can participate, and to show them how. This is a job the local paper can do best. One way would be to print a small coupon addressed to Chares Russell Peck, Vicar; Old North Church, Boston, Mass., stat- ing that the undersigned was con- tributing his nickel, or dime, or dol- lar to the reconstruction work, and followed by blanket lines for name and address. Reconstruction costs have been variously estimated at from $100,000 to $200,000. At most, this is twen- ty million pennies—or less than half a cent for every family in the nation. Sincerely, Bob Taylor School Is Open; Drive Carefully Motor Clab Urges Extra Precautions Calling attention to the fact the 1954-55 school term in Wyoming Valley has begun, C. W. Bigelow, secretary-manager of the Wyoming Valley Motor Club, urged motorists to be on the alert for the boys and girls who will be serving on School Safety Patrols. Bigelow also observed that throughout the Wyoming Valley communities warning posters for motorists reading, “School's Open —Drive Carefully” printed and fur- nished by the local motor club have been prominently displayed by local community officials at all school intersections. “Every motorist should drive carefully when in the vicinity of schools,” Bigelow declared. “They should also be on the lookout for the School Safety Patrol members, ready to heed their signals and di- rections in order to avoid any pos- sibility for responsibility in injury or even death to a school child. “Now recognized by police and safety officials as one of the most effective means through which school children can be kept from harm,” he continued, “the School Safety Patrols have established an enviable and remarkable record in the protection of students from traffic injuries and deaths.” Stressing the fact that sormg 38,000 youngsters will serve on 1054 to translate it.

Rev. Louis Falk, pastor of First Baptist Church, Kingston, of which Mrs. Shaver was an active member, conducted ser- vices at 11 from Williams Funeral Home. Honorary pallbearers were Arch Van Nortwick, Harvey Kline, LeRoy Andress, Arthur Wagner, Raymond Dymond, and Richard James. Active. pallbearers were nephews: Fred Drake, Paul Shaver, Edwin Roth, Woodrow Ruth, and George Swan. Mrs. Franklin 66, passed away Thursday night at General Hos- pital after admission a week pre- vious by ambulance. She died of an acute heart attack, the last of a number incurred during the past two years. Her husband, Harry, died twenty years ago, also a sister, Mrs. Clyde LaBar. A brother Merle and a son Ralph passed away about three years ago. : Mrs. Franklin was born in Dallas, lived in Kingston for 25 years. Her parents were the late Emory and Emma Fagerstrom Shaver. There are two surviving child- ren: Kenneth, Kingston, and -Lou- ise; brothers and sisters: Paul, Rus- sell, and Nelson Shaver, Dallas; Mrs. Sheldon Drake, Oak Hill; five grandchildren. School Safety Patrols with the start of the new school year throughout the State, the AAA official pointed out that these boys and girls are on duty regardless of weather con- ditions, unselfishly performing a task which might mean the differ- ence between life and death for their own playmates. Declaring that motorists have an obligation to these youngsters, Bige- low added: “It is every bit as im- portant to obey the signals of these youngsters as it is to heed the di- rections of a police officer. It's a serious offense to disregard or ig- nore either. “Make school days safe days by driving carefully and safely,” he concluded. “The child you save from harm may be a neighbor’s— or even your own!” : BR. F. Lamoreaux Buried Monday Dies Thursday Of Heart Attack Raymond F. Lamoreaux, De- munds Road, was buried Monday afternoon in Wardan Cemetery, fol- lowing services conducted by Rev. Howard Harrison at the Williams Funeral Home. Pallbearers were Marvin Yeust, Michael Chukinas, Stephen Walitska, James Campbell, Louis Kline, and Donald Metzger.

During World War I he was exposed to mustard gas while serv- ing with Company B, 318 Machine Gun Battery. : Prior to moving to Demunds Road three years ago, he had lived in Shavertown for eight years.
