SHOULD BABY ATTEND
MORNING SERVICES?
Dear Editor:
Circumstances do alter cases, but
in this instance a careful examina-
tion should be made of the eon-
science of the young mother and
young father who appear at a dig-
nified morning or evening church
service with new little Junior in
arms, grumbling away about his
cold milk and the cruel gas pains
racking his little body.
Now, no one denies that Junior
IS the perfect little cherub; but cer-
tainly, most of the Sunday morning
congregation would much rather see
him and hear him back home in
his own nursery; or call upon him
downstairs in the warm, specially
provided baby’s nursery which the
Church has handled so effectively
for just such emergencies.
True, the young parents should
be able to ALSO know what the
sermon is all about, and the other
Christian people in that gathering
would, I know, like to help them
On The Bac
Some News and Notes,
WRITTEN AND EDITED
Now that Christmas is on
the way it reminds us of an
event that happened last
Christmas which gave us quite
a chuckle. A grandfather came
into the Back Mt. Lumber &
Coal Company with his two-
year-old grandson. Being of
considerable means, money was
no object and the old gentle-
man was prepared to buy the
biggest, most expensive gift in
the store for his favorite
grandson. The boy took a long
time to look everything over
but, of all things, a little iron
and ironing board caught his
fancy. His grandfather, and
our various salespeople tried
their best to get him interested
in a tricycle, an electric train
and many others but, you
guessed it . . . he went home
with the one thing he liked
best, the 4.98 iron and ironing
board.
Even the barber pole has a
history. It dates back to 1461
when the barbers of London
were incorporated by Edward
IV. By royal edict these wield-
ers of the comb, brush and
razor were the only persons
licensed to practice surgery. To
advertise services that included
not only a shave and a haircut
but appendectomies as well,
each barber displayed a. striped
pole from which was suspend-
ed a basin. The ribbon around
the pole indicated a sort of
tourniquet twisted around the
arm previous to blood letting
and the basin beneath symbol-
ized the vessel for receiving
blood. Gruesome wasn’t it?
The only place to see the
sensational new “Ginny” doll
in this area is at our Shaver-
town store . . . if you are buy-
ing a doll for anyone this
Christmas for goodness sake be
sure to see the “Ginny” doll
first.
Some time ago Charles Long,
farm equipment dealer in
Sweet Valley, was talking to a
local preacher when another
fellow came into the store. This
man was quite upset and start-
ed shouting in a loud voice,
using very profane language
and being generally abusive.
After he had calmed down
“Charlie” called him over and
said, “Mr. Jones, I want you to
meet Reverend so-and-so”. The
man left without saying a sing-
le word and “Charlie” claims
this fellow has been a perfect
gentleman every time he has
come into the store since.

A small boy leading a donk-

couple of sailors wanted to
have some fun with the boy.
“Why are you holding on to
your brother so tightly son-

won't join the Navy,” the
youngster replied without
blinking an eye. .

gives one a good feeling to see
that churches need to be en-

first organized with 29 charter

We got a pointer from “Win-

the Lay-Away Plan that ought
to help lots of folks. She tells’
us that many times we run out
of small gifts and toys before
Christmas. and lots of you
don’t realize that we're glad to
lay-away a group of small
items for you the same as we
do many big items. So, even
if you want to pick out your
Christmas tree decorations be-
fore they are all gone, by all
means come in and do it now.

Churches.
has been impossible for some
church goers to follow the beautiful,
which have been real ‘“‘gems” of
Biblical history, due to a couple of
restless, uncomfortable and tireless
ing desperately to tell their parents
SO.
It should not be necessary to re-
mind these fine, well meaning,
proud parents that it is just a little
selfish, on their part, to bring Jun-
ior to services too soon; and that
there are churches where it is hot
aocepted as being in good taste.
Can’t we get together and separ-
ate the almost too short, precious
morning service hour in our hice
old Church from the daily nursery
hour on the Sabbath Day—so that
the young parents and congrega-
tion, as a whole, can partake of the
beauty, relaxation from care snd
the state of Grace which our Min-
ister endeavors to bring to all of
us, with the help of Almighty God
on this, His day?

Dallas Township's undefeated
Redskins will meet Wyoming Sem-
inary Squires tomorrow on the
Seminary Field in Kingston. 3
Dallas Township minus three im-
portant injured starters; made a
quarters Saturday to beat Wilkes-
Barre Township 27-0 on Memorial
Field.
The first quarter showed little
gain by either team and it looked
like a tight game would follow. But
Dallas broke loose early in the sec-
ond quarter with Dick Harris going
around left end from the seven-
yard line to score. Jerome Thomas
made good his place kick and the
Redskins led 7-0 at the half. :
Dale Wagner recovered a Wilkes-
Barre fumble on the Wilkes-Barre
17 and George Clemow, four plays
later, plunged over from the 4 for
another Redskin touchdown. Dallas
led at the end of the 3rd quarter
13-0.
The Redskin domination of the
game was clearly shown in the last
quarter. Jerome Thomas intercep-’
ted a Wilkes-Barre pass and eluded
three would-be tacklers for a 15-
yard touchdown. Jerome then made
good his place kick to give Dallas
a 20-0 lead.
With two minutes to go in the
final period, John Sholtis flipped
Conrad Higgins a 20 yard pass for
a would-be touchdown but a penal-
ty called the play back. It twas
fourth down with 22 yards to go
for first down and 25 for a touch-
down. Sholtis called the same play
and passed to Higgins again. Al-
ball on practically the same spot
as the previous play. Jerome Tho-
mas made good his third place kick
to give the Redskins a 27-0 victory.
The Wilkes-Barreans had a group
of fairly well built boys who looked
as if they could do better but they
never threatened seriously.
Dallas had 10 first downs to
