MARKS Editorially Speaking: “TWELVE THINGS TO REMEMBER" ‘One of America’s most successful manufacturers, after forty years in business, has endeavored to set down the lessons in living his experience has taught him. (If you would realize what a diffi- cult chore this is, try it yourself!) He wanted to leave his faithful employees, and especially to their children, a kind of road map which, if followed, he believed would help them to achieve a life with the minimum of regrets and the maximum of happiness. He calls this distilled wisdom, simply, Twelve Things to Remember: (1) The value of time (2) The success of perseverance (3) The pleasure of working { 4) The dignity of simplicity (5) The worth of character (6) The power of kindness (7) The influence of example (8) The obligation of duty (9) The wisdom of economy (10) The virtue of patience (11) The improvement of talent (12) The joy of originating How many future national and international problems might be avoided if a concerted effort by parents and schools were made to inculcate these simple precepts in the minds of the youth of the world! —Robins Reader From Pillar To Post... by Hix It wasn’t the season for application of a load of well-rotted manure to the side lawn, the odorous gift ordinarily reserved for anniversaries, so Tom and I exchanged loads of fireplace logs for ‘Christmas, thereby patronizing two recent advertisers in the Dallas Post, plus one advertiser for general hauling. It was to have been one load only, from him to her and from her to him, but the shiny coin jar yields more heavily than antici- “pated a spate of new half dollars having récently appeared ion the market The amount ran to one extra load of logs. It makes a sizable stack on the grass, but to ease the sensi- bilities of passersby who deplore dumping wood on the lawn at all, in full view of traffic on Pioneer Avenue, the logs will soon be around back, well out of sight except to inveterate snoopers. There, the logs will be happily reduced to lengths for the Franklin stove, measured off to the split inch, one log and one nubbin, Come a blizzard, the sawhorse will move into the basement. There would have been a third load, from us to us, if the third advertiser for fireplace logs had appeared under the For Sale items last week, but he folded up prematurely, and delving into past history his phone number proved unproductive. He's back in Trading Post as of this week, but not in time for us to us. - The shiny coin jar has been depleted, its contents squandered on other Christmas gear of a less combustible character. Very loosening to the muscles, reports Tom, favoring his aching back as he emerges from the basement after a session with the "chopping block. Suppliers of fireplace logs don’t understand. They protest, “But we can cut them with the chain saw, just exactly the length you — them, no %ouble at all. You don’t HAVE to saw them by and.” Tom LIKES to saw wood. He does it because he enjoys it. Folks regard me with reproach. “You KNOW he shouldn't be sawing wood,” they chorus. “WHY not?” I inquire, sharpening my claws. “If he likes to saw wood, he’s entitled to saw wood. There are men with lots worse vices than sawing wood,” 1 elaborate, ‘Tom doesn't come _ home stoned and beat me up. Over the years he’s learned to tolerate a small amount of onion in the stuffing, After a childhood spent in the belief that pork chops were indigestible, he can now eat pork chops. To be sure, in the beginning they had to be served under the name of lamb, but after a suitable interval they appeared under their own name and were accepted. He'll eat at any hour of the day and night, and the more coffee the better. He's a strictly solid guy.” Any man who is chained to a Large Steel Desk needs to saw wood or mow the lawn or go fishing for salmon in Puget Sound. Lawn-mowing leaves Tom at ten degrees below zero; we don't live on the Pacific Coast any more, though it was nice while it lasted; what remains is wood-sawing and more power to him. We will probably never work through the accumulation of logs. Year before last’s logs are ‘still with us. And if I go downstairs into the basement some day and find Tom stretched out alongside the saw-horse, he will be wearing a happy smile, having spent his last hour doing just exactly what he wanted to do. CHRISTMAS DISCOVERY There is hurry and commotion There is Christmas sales promotion There is hustle, there is bustle to and fro, There are endless streams of shoppers Parking seeker traffic stoppers And their single minded purpose is — let's go.

A. Waters = S000 C000 C0 OS INDIANS IN PENNSYLVANIA. By A. W. Wallace. 194 pp. Harris- burg: The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. $1.50. This is no light, easy, pastime reading. Tt is an authoritative work, fully documented, well indexed, with twenty-five drawings and other il- lustrations, seven maps, and biogra- phies of thirty-six well known Ind- ians. The period covered runs from about 1600 to a little after 1800, al- though there are some items to the present day. In general it gives in- formation covering the origin, move- mets, manner of life, beliefs and legends, activities; and disposition of the principal tribes in this and adjoining states. : Contrary to common belief, based on later plaing Indians and some in other areas, local Indians did not as a common practice, live in tepees or wigwams, gallop around on horses riding bareback, or sweep over the water in birchbark canoes. They did not wear showy feather headdresses and women did not wear feathers in the hair at all. Painting, tattooing, and nose and ear decor- ations were used by some. The tribes differed greatly in organization, but for many of them descent was traced in the female line and all hereditary privileges came through the mother instead of the father. Sometimes there were several names for the same tribe as applied by others. As of about 1600 there were three or four distinct peoples living in present Pennsylvania. The Lenni Lenape, called the Delawares, lived along that river; The Susquehannocks along the Susquehanna; another around the headwaters of the Ohio; ‘and the Eries along Lake Erie. Not much is known about those in the Monongahela area. The Eries, called also the Cat Nation, were soon displaced by the Senecas after a war with all the Iroquois. Most Ind- ian history in this state concerns the Susquehannocks and Delawares, with other tribes who came and went from time to time. Although in total the Indians were sparsely settled, there was friction . between the tribes, increased by competition for the fur trade, pres- sures and assistance by provincial authorities, and especially by the rivalry of the French and English, and some other foreign intruders. The Iroquois, a relatively weak group in New York State, perfected a political orgamization which enabled them to gradually overthrow all their neighbors and make them sub- jects, in a limited sense, and this happened one by one to all the Indiang of Pennsylvaia. The Susque- hannocks, known by Capt. John Smith in the lower valley in 1608 : and by Champlain in 1615, were de- feated completely in 1675, after they had lost Indian allies and assistance from the Province of Maryland. This left only the Delawares of the orig- inal peoples, later widely scattered, to whom the author devotes about a third of the book. With permis sion of the Iroquois and Conoys, the Nanticokes, the Tuscaroras, the Tu- telos, and the Shawnees came in from the south and remained at various places for short periods. The latter were, at one time or another, scattered almost all over the state. Many names of places, streams, etc. in the state are of Indian origin, for example Nanticoke and Shawnee flats in Wyoming Valley. Most Pennsylvania affairs, particularly land purchases, were conducted with the Delawares and later the over- lords, the Iroquois. Since the canoe birch did not grow in Pennsylvania and the streams were full of rocks and rap- ids, most travel was by land paths which covered the state about like the principal highways at present. Some of the paths made connections to points hundreds of miles away. William Penn, called by the Ind- ians “Onas”, treated the Indians fairly and instructed that all land must be properly purchased. There was much confusion about boundar- ies and measurements, and neither side was guiltless. Indians collected payment for the same land four or five times and white men stretched measurements beyond Indian under- standing, for example the “Walking Purchase”, when the walkers ran. A ‘map ‘shows roughly the date of purchase of all blocks of land in the state. In the local area the author sides with the Proprietors and re- gards the Connecticut purchase in 1754 as dubious, but states Pennsylvania land purchases made at Albany at the same time were not properly understood by the Ind- ians either, requiring the Proprie- tors to give back to the Indians over a quarter of the state in 1758. He is inclined to exonerate the British for the Wyoming Massacre, stating that the Iroquois planned the raid all the previous winter and intended to make it alone, not- withstanding they had also sold the land to the Penns in 1768, ten years before. This is a good book to own and pick up for reference, and interest- ing to read, but not for pastime only. It is pretty solid stuff. There are plenty of detailed quotations from recognized authorities on she spot at the time, especially the Moravian missionaries, mentioned over twenty times. Looking at T-V With GEORGE A. and EDITH ANN BURKE Andy Griffith is celebrating this Christmas by buying a house. He has finally decided months after everyone else that his TV program really is a success. The Andy Griffith Show went on the air a year ago and became an immediate success, but Andy want- ed to be more sure, so he rented a house in West Los Angeles. The house was originally owned by Benny Goodman. He considered he still had his permanent home on Roanoke Island near Mateo, North Carolina. The house is a one-story rooms. Entry to the farm is made through a causeway over the adjoining sound. He has a caretaker on the place during his absence. Andy thinks that his show is a hit because ‘“‘we specialize in small comedy stuff. We don’t expect the audience to go crazy laughin’ every time we walk into a scene. “We give ’em a choice. They can laugh if they want to; but they shore don’t have to.” The only complaint Andy says he has received is about the incorrect grammar sometimes used on the show. Andy is married to the former '| Barbara Edwards, his college sweet- heart. They have two adopted chil- dren. Sam is three and Dixie Nann is one year old. Replacements—Some one let too much time slip by and now the net- work is working frantically on a replacement for Steve Allen. His show is going off the air next week and as yet there has been no an- nouncement of what will replace this show that was supposed to be a winner when it was in the plan- ning stage. Jack Carson, who has no connec- tion with this show is very unhappy because the network preoccupation with a Steve Allen replacement is probably ruining his chances to be the replacement for Jack Paar. This is something that Jack Carson really wants. He has asked that he be released from his daytime show, “Whom Do You Trust?” But the way things are going it’s be- ginning to look as though the net- work may not think about a replace- ment for Jack’s daytime show until he’s lost the opportunity for the Jack Paar. Jack does an excellent job on his present daytime show. de is quite 'a clever fellow with a raised eye- brow, a knowing smile and a laugh right spot. Jack rarely his contestants that do all the Sit | work. Fans Or No Fans and there are many, “Dr. Malone” daytime show will get the axe. “Our First Im- pression” hosted by Monte Hall moves into this daytime spot on January 2. Hard To Believe—Cartoon shows have not had any success this sea- son yet three more are being read- ied for the upcoming year. Newest of these is a proposed “Baby Snooks” show—a role Fanny | Bruce made famous on radio in| the late 1930’s. Ray Star. who controls the rights to the radio show, is looking for someone to be Miss Brice’s “Voice.” They're all set on Snook’s father with Hanley Stafford who had the same role on radio. Screen Gems is working on a Marx Brothers’ cartoon and NBC | is doing a “Laurel and Hardy” series for the fall. Hazel and the Mitch Miller Show have knocked down their compe- tition. To fight fire with fire Gert- rude Berg in her new role of running a student’s rooming house is being cast in the same time spot as “Hazel.” “The Untouchables” has really been touched by Mitch Miller's rating. Fans of this show better enjoy it while they may. It looks like it will be its last season. Rob- ert Stack, who plays Eliott Ness, does not want to continue in his role. Fatal Illness Takes Mrs. Sterling Mead Mrs. Genebieve Mead, 67, died Wednesday morning at General Hos- pital, where she had been admitted by Dallas Community Ambulance Christmas night, already gravely ill. Services will be Saturday at 2 from the Disque Funeral Home, with burial at Chapel Lawn. Rev. Russell Lawry will officiate. - Mrs, Meade, Park Street, Dallas, had submitted to surgery in October at General Hospital. Her fatal illness came unexpectedly. She was listed as in critical condition immediately upon admission Monday night at 10. A native of Pittston, she lost her parents when a small hild. She moved to Dallas from Nanticoke in 1929, with her husband F. Sterling, a retired employee of Bell Telephone Company. She was active in Mt. Vale Lodge, D. of A. and Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire Co.

There are two! seasons here, the hot season and the hotter season, or the dusty season and the muddy season. If you glance at your maps you will see that the Philippines is im the tropical zone and you will also note that it is not “part of Hawaii”, as many American believe, but an independent country comprised of over 7,000 islands with a popula- tion of 27,000,000. A little Philippine history might help you to better understand this country. Magellan, a Spaniard “dis- covered” the Philippines in the early 1500’s, and Spain began to colonize the country. They ruled the islands for over three hundred years during which time the Catholic religion plus many Spanish customs became a part of the Filipino culture. The Spanish, however, often took ad- vantage of the simple, good-natured natives and there were several at- tempted revolts. The first Asian nationalist and national hero of the common folk live and Recently, I had a month long tour of Mindanao, (look at your maps again), and although I was a com- plete stranger traveling alone, every- where 1 went, Rotarians took care of me as if I were their own son. ‘While in Minando, I was able to visit twelve Rotary Clubs and was the guest speaker at eight Rotary meetings plus five provincial high school assemblies. The Rotarians were wonderful and so interested in the Back Mountain Area and the Library Auction. Between Rotary Clubs I traveled by bus and met a lot of unusual folks such as the Moros, (Moslems), a reputation of being dangerous characters. However, I found them to be very friendly and harmless except for one instance when 1 tried to:get a snapshot of a Moro woman and she refused because she was afraid her husband might attack me. She wasn’t joking. Gen- erally speaking, the people, although small in stature, are big in heart.

For the first time, the common Filipino was given a chance to acquire education and the country changed from a backward state to progressive state.

Sherman, Shav-| uage, English, is the medium of communication and instruction here because there are about 70 native dialects, the most popular being ta- galog. The dress, except for formal wear, is American, excluding some of the non-Christian tribes whose dress is very interesting and color- ful. How do the people live? There are two general types of living here. In the larger cities such as! Manila and Cebu, the life of the rick has most of the comforts of the United States and live in large well built homes with walls around them to keep the poor folks who live in crowded filthy shacks, from steal- ing food or something. It’s distress- ing to read of high society dames buving 2000 vesa dresses for one night’s use while their neighbors are having a hard time digging up a peso or two to feed their dozen hungry children. Manila is a large, modern city with air-conditioned offices, factor- ies, night clubs, taxis, stores, mark- ets, slums, crime, dirt and jeepneys, (passenger vehicles made from jeeps left over from the Second ‘World War). Jeepneys are pure Filipino {and can be found nowhere else in the world. Fortunately. just as New York is not the United States, Man- ila is not the Philippines. Outside the cities, the folks are mostly simple hard-working farmers who are contented to eke out a living on their small rice paddies. These farmers may be divided into two categories: those who own land and those who do not. As the Filipino people are very prolific and are often taken advantage of by their |, landlords, there is not always en- ough rice to fill everybody's bowl, and there are many cases of extreme poverty in the rural areas Many of the rural schools are nothing but shacks with dirt floors, and there just isn’t enough education to go around. Only grade school educa- tion is offered by the government mainly because there is just not enough money. Quite a far cry from {the Dallas School District, isn’t it? The peculiar thing is that it’s just as important to mankind that a Filipino gets an educaton as itis that an American does. We talk of freedom, but to many people here the only freedom is freedom to live like dogs because 1% of the world has managed to hog most of the God given sustenance which was meant to be shared by all. Is it any wonder that Communism is winning the minds of millions of Asians ? There are organizations which 1 have been able to observe and even work with which are fighting hunger and disease all over the Phil- ippines. One of the most effective is the Philippine Rural Reconstruc- tion Movement, but because their funds are limited, they cannot be- gin to do the work they want to and need to do.

Tts peop- le are mostly simple and easy going, but if given the right opportunity can keep pace with any American businessman, A common religion and a love of freedom tend to hold the young democracy together. As for me, I love this country as my own and feel as if I belong. I'm now in my fifth home and all my families have been wonderful to me. This is the best thing that could ever happen to a young American and I realize how fortunate I am to have this opportunity. The best teacher is life itself and I know that my experiences here are giving me the most valuable education to be had. Merry Christmas to you all. May the message of Jesus fill your heart with a much needed and practiced love for your Asian brothers, and for all mankind.
