Today is the first of bass season. Myra always remembers it,
though I don’t believe she ever baited a hook in her life. Still, during
her childhood, the opening of bass season cast an electric spell over
her household! For days befoxe the first of July there was the scent
Flies were tied and there were magic words—Nigger Pond, Promised
Land and Vosburg on masculine tongues. It is twenty-one years since
her father’s rods and reels were put aside; but Myra will always feel
that electric pulse in the air—come the days before the first of July!

Granny returned from New England Wednesday night with tales
of rain every day but one during the two weeks she was away. While
she was visiting her son at Kingston, Rhode Island, her great grand-
daughter, Cathy, aged 3, came down by train with her mother from
Providence. Cathy's first brief train ride was a wonderful experience.
As her mother prepared to leave the coach at the West Kingston
station, Cathy rebelled, weeping: “Mommy, put another nickel in and
let’s go round again!”

The sloping fields at Huntsville are being made more beautiful
the precise rows and neat white fences that surround Henry Pool’s
etable ‘garden; but the crowning touch are the six bright red
raniums in green flower boxes that flank his rural mailbox. It’s
one of the prettiest ideas we've come across in a coon’s age!
—i—
And speaking of coons, David Estus, who has a way with all of
nature's small creatures, has a baby .coon. It was a little frightened
when Davy cuddled it there in his arms under the cherry trees while
I was weeding the garden; but it is packed full of mischief. Its in-
quisitive nose and sharp eyes recalled at once another baby coon of
a generation ago. That one had a habit of gathering bits of colored
glass and of reaching for trout in the spring pool on my grandfather’s
farm in Susquehanna County. Davy’s has the possibility of a won-
derful pet; but we're keeipng our fingers crossed about the Game
Commission.

Ed Haskell’s devoted little sheep dog “Wendy” is lost; the victim
of her own devotion. On a recent trip to Durham, N. C. where his
wife, Ann, is taking advanced work at Duke University, Ed took
“Wendy” along. This time, however, Ed travelled by car and not
by the familiar bicycle which “Wendy” always trails and on occasions
has guarded for two or three days on Main Street, when Ed has gone
to town by bus. “Wendy” soon became a familiar figure on the Duke
Campus and spent much of her uneventful time snoozing in front of
the door of Ann’s father’s office. Then came the day when a Western
Union boy left his bicycle in front of the door while he delivered a
message. When he departed “Wendy” followed, probably in an at-
tempt to save her master’s Beloved wheel. That was several weeks
ago. Inquiry at the Western Union office, newspaper classified ads,
notices on University Bulletin Boards have turned up no trace of
“Wendy”.

A few mornings ago a Dallas Township man who has his business
in Wilkes-Barre picked up a fellow commuter on Pioneer Avenue as
the latter was waiting in front of his home for a bus. He had hardly
settled down in the seat beside Eddie when without introduction he
began to berate Jews. The tirade continued all the way to Kingston.
There the passenger got out. Departing, he introduced himself. : “1
didn’t get your name”, he added as an afterthought. “Finkelstein”
said Eddie who is a faithful member of Prince of Peace congregation.
Since then Eddie has passed his companion of that morning often
waiting for a bus on Pioneer Avenue, but he has been unable to
induce him to ride again with him to town.

Those who have a taste for the best in soft ice cream have a
treat in store for them at John Tibus’ Sno-Mountain stand on Mem-
orial Highway. Made entirely from the products of local dairies, the
ice cream served by Mr. and Mrs. Tibus is unsurpassed. Try a cone
or a quart over the July Fourth weekend and be convinced. And
don’t forget the Pup; they serve 5c dips in special paper cups for

Among the many good bread bakers who will this year bake for
the Library Auction, none has taken on a bigger assignment than
Mrs. David Joseph of Spring Street. She has promised to bake into
crisp brown loaves all of the flour I send her! I shall send over a
small 25-pound bag first. If that works, there’ll be no stopping either
of us!
I have a similar deal with Marietta Gay, although Ernie may not
yet have informed her. He says she will bake into cherry pies all of
the sour cherries I send. There are five trees loaded—and ripe—and
the robins this year are not on Marietta’s side!

A couple of good bird cages are needed for the Library Auction.
Not to confine the auctioneers, but for parakeets that have been con-
tributed by local breeders. If you have a bird cage that is just waiting
for a tenant, send it to the Auction!

Babson Park, Mass.—Since Presi-
dent Eisenhower's great address at
Pennsylvania State University last
week, I have been much more hope-
ful of the years ahead. This world
may be entering a new Industrial
Revolution commensurate with the
two previous great Industrial Revo-
lutions of a century and more ago.
Great Industrial Revolutions
The first was based upon the in-
vention of printing by movable
type, upon the development of edu-
cation combined with Bible reading,
and upon the discovery of America.
Thus, the three great men of that
day were Gutenberg, John Rogers
(my ancestor), and Columbus. The
second Industrial Revolution was
due to the harnessing of steam and
steel, the development of demo-
cracy, and the building of railroads
and steamships. Thus, the three
great men of that time were Watt,
Washington, and Stephenson.
My purpose this week is to im-
press upon readers that future his-
tory may show we are now entering
a third great Industrial Revolution.
This could come from the harness-
ing of uranium, the development of
labor unions accompanied, by the
redistribution of property, and the
possibilities of aviation. The three
men responsible for these develop-
ments were Einstein, Roosevelt, and
the Wright Brothers. The first two
Industrial Revolutions, with the ex-
ception of the discoveries of Colum-
bus, were largely confined to na-
tions and bounded by national lines.
Airplanes Making Great Changes
Let me now state that any third
revolution will know no national
boundaries, but must be a world
revolution. For instance, uranium is
found everywhere and can be used
anywhere; the masses all over the
world are demanding property, edu-
cation, and opportunity; while air-
planes, telephones, and television
%Saw no boundaries. They are re-
ducing the size of the world to the
size of an average country a genera-
tion ago.
telephone as freely as I called New
York a few years ago. Members of
my organization are lunching with
me today; and they are having
breakfast in London tomorrow
morning. Furthermore, the difficul-
ties of communicating with the peo-
ple of other nations, which handi-
capped the two previous industrial
revolutions, have been eliminated
by radio and television.
The stock market, of course, will
have bad breaks. Then will be the
time ‘to buy more of the stocks
which will profit from this new In-
dustrial Revolution. The main pur-
pose of this week’s column is fo
get you to become world conscious
and to recognize the great possibil-
ities ahead. Some look upon ad-
a new era; but no, electricity is
simply a new method of distributing
power already manufactured by
coal, oil or gravity. This same ap-
plies to electronics and many other
inventions which people are going
crazy about. Actually, these are in-
cidental. Great new eras are based
on the use of a new power; mater-
jal, spiritual, political, or a combin-
ation of all, as- “Billy” Graham is
preaching.
How To Lose Money
All kinds of speculative promo-
tions followed the inventions of
Watt, Stephenson, and especially
Columbus. Hundreds of new com-
panies were formed and floated to
get gold from Mexico or Peru, to
enjoy the Fountain - of - Youth in
Florida, to import sugar, spices and
slaves from the West Indies, to get
timber and ore from Virginia or
New England. The settlement of
Gloucester — my home city — was
undertaken by an English company
to make money by gathering the
cod, halibut, and mackerel which
were said to fill Gloucester Harbor.
A few of these companies made
money, but most of them, including
the Gloucester enterprise, went
broke. ?
Too many investors of those days
thought only of themselves and
tried to get rich by speculating in
individual companies; but they lost
out. Those, however, who did not
attempt to speculate in these new
companies but who got the vision
that a new industrial revolution was
fanning out before them, applied
this vision to their own business,
whether banking, insurance, manu-
facturing, merchandising, or foreign
trade. They became wealthy. I fore-
cast that those who now get and so
usefully apply this vision will be
likewise rewarded.
Let Us Now Be Optimistic
So, I close with this appeal. Let
us forget, for the present, World
War III, Russian Communism,
threatened Stock Market Collapses,
Juvenile Delinquency, and all the
other pessimism featured today. In-
stead, let us think of what Aviation,
Chemistry, Wonder Drugs, Tele-
vision, Weather Control, Cyberna-
tics, Automatic Factories, and, the
greatest of all, uranium will do for
us who get this vision and are anx-
ious to work. Even this does not
mean bothering your head to find
some uranium stock to buy. The
fact is, future history may look back
upon the present stock markets as
you and I look back on horses and
buggies! Therefore, may we awaken
to a new vision. May we think how
we can use airplanes, uranium, and
especially advertising, to develop
our own business, and help our
children and grandchildren. With-
out doubt some stocks are good
short sales at the present time; but
don’t now sell the world short!
One more thought: On the 6th
of last December I completed fifty
years in very active business. This
year, 1955, I am devoting to selec-
ting 2,000 enthusiastic persons—
preferably those physically handi-
capped as I have always been, but
who have the Vision—to represent
me and the United Information Ser-
vice in 2,000 cities. A list of these
selected cities will be sent, on re-
quest, by my Babson Park, Massa-
chusetts, office. Any reader who
can help in this work will be doing
a good thing both for the person
selected and for the merchants of
the community in which he or she
lives. If you doubt it, read in the
Bible the first sentence of Verse 18,
Chapter 29, of the Book of Proverbs.

With GEORGE A. and

SPORTS—The N. Y. Athletic Com-
mission has finally given its sanc-
tion to WABD, New York video sta-
tion to televise wrestling matches
not from an arena but from a reg-
ular TV studio.
Free ticket distribution to either
Studio Five, which seats 400 people
or the Adelphi Theater, which seats
1,000 will be left up to the sponsor.
The Athletic Commission must
still assign doctors, referees and
other officials to the studio-borne
matches.
It is felt boxing will probably fol-
low suit, since fight promoters have
been collecting most of their money
from TV rights.
A fight from a regular studio set-
up could be tele-produced more
easily and the cameramen could
place their camera where they
pleased, something they are not al-
lowed to do at arena staged sports
events.
THE TOP THREE TV shows rating
wise for 1955 were Groucho’s “You
Bet Your Life,” ‘Jackie Gleason”
and Sullivan’s “Toast of the Town”
in that order.
MEN IN BLACK, a new film series
about the clergy, couched in ‘“Drag-
net” and “Medic” style, will replace
“Treasury Men in Action” this fall.
This is a reverse in the trend of
avoiding dramatic shows with a re-
ligious theme.
A three-man committee has been
formed to pass on scripts, each rep-
resenting one of the major faiths.
Committee comprises Capt. Maurice
M. Witherspoon, a Presbyterian and
v.p. of the Military Chaplains Assn.;
Father George B. Ford, of the Corpus
Christi ‘Catholic Church in New
York, and also a v.p. of Freedom
House, and Dr. William F. Rosen-
blum, rabbi at Temple Israel, N. Y.,
and head of the Synagog Council
of America.
LORETTA YOUNG'S illness has
caused indefinite postponement of
her return to TV and top Hollywood
stars will pinchhit for the new
Loretta Series. Rosalind Russell will
be hostess on three. Other guesters
will be Van Johnson, Alan Lad, Lu-
cille Ball and Desi Arnez, Groucho
Marx, Barbara Stanwyck and Dan-
ny Thomas. ]
ETHEL AND ALBERT is one sum-
mer replacement that is by far
superior to the show it replaces,
“December Bride.”
It is a live show with plenty of
action, wholesome humor that rings
with realism for portraying family
life.
UPBEAT a new summer series
premiering Tuesday, July 5 over the
CBS network will present top song
stylists twice a week each Tuesday
and Thursday at 7:45 to 8 p.m.
Scheduled to appear are Mindy
(Carson, Theresa Brewer, Don Cor-
nell, Georgia Gibbs, Joan Webber,
The Four Lads and Tony Bennett.
Each show of the 13-week series
will feature tunes made popular by
the stars. “Upbeat” regulars will
include the “Honeydreamers,” a
dance group, and Russ Case's or-
chestra.
NEW USE—Television will be
used to trap reckless drivers on the
new Massachusetts Turnpike. /
Speed limit on the road will b
60 miles an hour. Radar speed
checkers will be installed within
range of the television cameras to
record any infractions and puncture
drivers’ arguments.
PREMIERE presentation this Fri-
day of the summer drama series
“Undercurrent” opens with a chiller
for a warm evening. Jean Byron
stars ‘as a young schoolteacher who
is first puzzled by the odd behavior
of her Ilandlady’s seven-year-old
son and later becomes frightened
and seeks to flee from “The House
on Judas Street.” (CBS-TV, 10 to
10:30 p.m.)

Jason Amadeus Perrywinkle was
an aristocrat; the blood of five gen-
erations of natural hunters ran
through his veins. From the crowd-
ed city, he traveled to the country,
where he led a dog's life. For Jason
Amadeus Perrywinkle was a brown,
short - haired, registered German
pointer with a long pedigree and a
short tail. And his owner, Frank
Gunnison, loved him until and after
June 14th of the same year, when
he passed on to happier hunting
grounds at the action of Frank Gun-
nison’s neighbor, Bill Quirt.
All of which happened because
Bill Quirt was a farmer with a flock
of sheep. When Bill found several
of his sheep killed by strange dogs,
he and his son kept a day and night
watch; but the killers were too
smart, and did not kill the sheep
when they were around. Nothing
happened for a while until one
afternoon, hearing a noise in the
flock, they came up to the scene,
against the wind; and saw 2 dogs,
one a brown short-haired pointer
with a short tail, tearing and chew-
ing on a freshly-killed sheep. Bill
took bead; the short-haired pointer
was shot and Killed. It was Jason
Amadeus Perrywinkle.
Frank Gunnison was heart-brok-
rywinkle,” he argued, ‘“was of noble
blood and a hunter, it is true. But
he was a gentleman born and bred.
We all enjoy our mutton, and that
he was feeding on it, is true, too.
But nobody saw him kill the sheep.
When Bill Quirt saw him feeding,
he just guessed that my Jason had
killed it, with no attention being
paid to the other dog. Nothing can
repay my grief, but should collect
his value.” :
“I tried my level best,” said Bill
Quirt, “to catch the killer, but he
was just too smart for me. I figured
it couldn’t be Jason Amadeus Perry-
winkle, myself, because I thought
that only mongrels were so smart.
But when I saw him and the other
dog eating my sheep, freshly killed
and torn, there was no doubt in
my mind that Jason had become a
sheep-killer, and I protected myself
as the law permits me to do.”
If you were on the jury, would
you make Bill Quirt pay Frank
Gunnison the value of Jason Ama-
deus Perrywinkle ?
* # *
Bill Quirt did not have to pay
anything. In discussing the decision,
the judge said that Jason had be-
come a public nuisance, a trespasser
on Bill Quirt’s land and that any
reasonable person would figure that
he had killed the sheep. “It matters
not,” the judge said, “whether the
sheep-killing dog is an aristocrat or
a mongrel. Each suffers the same
fate.” (Based on a 1949 case).

Dallas Borough should do some-
thing about the horrible odor ema-
nating from a sewer opening right
in the middle of town. This is not
a new problem, but nothing has
ever been done about it. If I were
a visiting summer tourist and got
wind of it I know what impression
I would have of Dallas.

Dallas Township has an odor
problem too. Near the corner of
Upper Dallas-Demunds Road and Rt.
309 there is a dumping ground for
the.. most.. disagreeable smelling
liquid. It is delivered there by a
tank truck from Natona Mills and
is evidently waste chemicals that
they have used in their processes.
I believe the farmer wants this on
his field for fertilizer but it sure is
hard on the neighbors. On certain
days you can smell it a quarter of

A. couple I knew were divorced
they were “incompatible.” This is
probably right since he didn’t have

Two young girls got a good scare
when a big truck driver tried to
pick them up early this week on
Star Route, Dallas. As it happens
the man meant no harm ’cause I
talked to him later, but the girls
didn’t know that. A fellow can get
in a lot of hot water this way and
there's usually always a witness.
If your young daughter wants to
walk along the road see that she
at least has a companion with her.

Some young fellow interested in
owning a car, to go to college in
the Fall, or just to run around in,
will find that the Packard donated
to the Library Auction by Kunkle
Motors may be just what he is
looking for. You can probably get
it for about $75.00 and, if you're
any kind of mechanic, you can fix
it up into quite a smooth running

Two of the most unusual films
ever to be presented in this area
will appear, for five days starting
next week, at Dallas Outdoor Thea-
ter. One is ‘“Karamoja” the story
of a lost African tribe never be-
fore seen by white men: The film
was taken by Dr. Wm. B. Treutle
without benefit of intrusion from
Hollywood. The other film is a grue-
some but true account of what the
Communists don’t want us to see.
It's called “Half Way to Hell” the
