ment which had been troubling him

Mr. Wolfe was born at Pikes
Creek, son of the late Josiah and
Olive Thompson Wolfe. He was ac-

a trustee of Maple Grove Church,
a member of the Men’s Bible Class

A strange quiet has descended
over our house . . . the kids are
back in school. 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.”

Pearl Franklin
Passes Away
“Succumbs To Heart
Attack At General
Mrs. Pearl Shaver Franklin, Dal-
las, was buried in Fern Knoll Cem-
etery Monday morning. 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!” :
