THE DRIVER'S
Normally, scare techniques in-
tended to frighten drivers into
aren't too. effective. Most drivers
| have a firm belief that it is “the
{other guy” who will be hurt or
killed in traffic accidents.
However, before a recent holiday
weekend, a radio station in Califor-
nia came up with a novel idea that
may have convinced at least 225
drivers that traffic accidents could
happen to them.
Radio Station KPAY in Chico,
Calif., startled its listeners by offer-
ling a free $750 funeral for anyone
killed in holiday traffic. The only
{ qualification necessary was that the
victim had registered with the sta-
tion in advance.
“Simply send in your name and
address, along with the next of
kin's on a postcard,” said cheerful-
voiced announcers. The station re-
ceived 225 postcards in advance of
the holiday.
But everyone made it home safely
and there were no claimants for the
free funerals, The station owner
commented that he felt the purpose
of the stunt—to instill in listeners
the realization that it might not be
“the other fellow,” but themselves,
who could be killed unless they
drove safely—was successfully ac-
complished.
It often takes dramatic or atten-
tion-getting stunts such as this to
jolt motorists out of their blind
conviction that accidents happen to
“the other guy.” In spite of all
safety authorities do to help drivers
avoid accidents—law enforcement
programs, better roads, improved
signs—traffic accidents remain ithe
single biggest cause of deaths in
this country every year.

Basic In Texas
RICHARD F. LANG
Mr. and Mrs. Reuben F. Gabel
have received word from Major Gen-
eral Robert M. Stillman, Command-
er of United States Air Force, Lack-
land Military Training Center, Texas,
with reference to Richard F. Lang,
stating that his basic period is pro-
gressing satisfactorily.
. Richard intends to study electron-
ics upon conclusion of his basic
training. A nephew of Mr. Gabel
he was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Gabel.
He graduated from Lake-Lehman
High School, class of 59 . Richard
would like to hear from his former
school mates.
Mt. Zion
One of cur Mt. Zion girls is grad-
uating from the University of Penn-
sylvania Hospital School of Nurs-
ing. She is Miss Harriet Howell (I
knew her as a little girl when she
was called “Happy” Howell, a good
descriptive name), daughter of Mrs.
Ida Howell who teaches in West
Pittston School. The graduation
ceremonies will take place in Phila-
delphia on June 5. Harriet was in
the class of 1958 in West Pittston
High School. Those who expect to
attend her grduation are her sister,
Mrs. Richard Dymond; her mother,
Mrs. Ida Howell, and her grand-
mother, Mrs. Lucy Howell.
‘When I was over on the other
road at Richard Dymond’s getting
this news a little girl stood by wait-
ing a chance to get a word in edge-
wise. She stood before me and
asked, “Do you want to know how
many children there of us?” And
I said “Yes, how many?” Five,”
she replied. “Do you want to know
how old they are?” Of course any
reporter would be glad of such
news. ‘‘There’s Debra and Barbara,
they are twins.” “How old are
are they?” “Five.” “Who else?”
I inquired. “There's Ricky, he’s
And?” “And Robert.
He's three.” Said I, “That’s only
four.” “I'm Brenda, and I'm six,”
she said. Now I thought that was
a pretty good story, and this is my
opinion, that there is a valuable Dy-
mond cluster.
Mr. ‘and Mrs. Paul Smith of Mt.
Zion are spending Sunday with their
scn’s family, Keith Smith at Center
Valley, Pa. Keith and his wife have
two children, a boy and a girl.
Last Saturday our pastor, Rev.
William Reid, Jr., attended a con-
ference for pastors and laymen at
the Federated Church of Maine, N.
Y. The conference was conducted
by the Town and Country Commis-
sion of the Wyoming Methodist
Conference. ;
The Mt. Zion reporter did not
get to church last Sunday. He got
a call to preach at the Dallas Meth-
odist Church in the absence of the
pastor, Rev. Russell Lawry. One of
the delights of supplying the Dallas
pulpit is hearing the very well
trained youth choir sing under the
direction of Miss Fern (Coldren.
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Lewis and
Miss Nettie Parrish visited Frank
Parrish in Montrose and to Nich-
olson to visit Mr. and Mrs. Addison
Woolbedt.
A most interesting session of
Neighborhood Quarterly Conferences
was held Sunday night at Orange.
The group included members and
officials from the Center Moreland
parish and the Carverton, Mt. Zion
and Orange churches. It was pre-
sided over by Rev. Leon Bouton,
superintendent of Wilkes-Barre Dis-
trict.

That new Parkade entrance direct to the Miners National Bank” 38
in Wilkes-Barre is strictly the cats. A wounded citizen, concealing"
the lack of teeth, can sneak out of the dentist’s office, holding her =
aching jaw in her hand, move quietly along a dim corridor, make*
a quick dash across the connecting link, and hide herself in her cart ii
with nobody the wiser. :
No going out on the street, no battling a crowd at the revol-
ving door, no unseenly exposure. :
No trying to cogverse with a casual acquaintance on the street...
while mumbling through the novocaina.
Why is it that when you have your best hat, and have just.
treated yourself 'to a new permanent, you meet nobody you know, =
but when you are in a sad condition, hoping only for privacy, you:
run into a schoolmate you haven't seen for twenty years? One:
who sizes you up with a gratified air, saying inwardly, “Mildred is"
SLIPPING.” :
No such contretemps, that the Parkade
above the alley, is a going concern.
Such an easy place to park, too. You can lock your car, and;
when you come back to it, there it is in the same spot, not buried
behind a large Cadillac and three compacts. If you get a parking
gouge, it’s your own gouge. Nobody did it to you while you weren't :
looking. Plenty of room to back in and out. 2
The innards resembled a huge snailshell while in process of"
construction, as viewed from the upper deck of the Boston :
: store parking ramp. The spiral looked a little small for exoert
maneuvering of the battleships now on the road, the oversize sta-
tion wagons, and the deluxe models, but drivers seem to manage
all right, creeping down the incline on their hands and knees. "
Compacts, Volkswagons, and elderly 1953 Chevvies zip around
the curves without trouble, and up to date nobody has run over
the smiling attendent at the check-out booth. "
This automation is really astonishing. At the supermarkets, a
door springs to attention and opens itself as a rolling cart of gro-
ceries approaches it, closing gently as the housewife passes through.
Probably the same kind of a beam that makes the entrance
gadget at the Parkade open its mouth and extend a slip, already
numbered, dated and timed to the hour and minute. It used to be
considered impolite to stick out your tongue, but machines can do
it with impunity. *
' And that is real progress.
Doubtless there will eventually be spanking machines, designed
to deliver a paddling, soft or hard depending upon the pushing of
the designated button. 2
‘And the soap people, spurred by competition, keep on Invent
ing new hazards for the housewife. The latest is Dirt ‘Backwash,
which has been always with us, but has lately found its appointed
