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!

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.
There's a kind of gay confusion
There's an aching feet profusion
There is madness, there is gladness all around.
Traffic whistles shrilly blowing
Shopping crowds jom packed and growing
Misplaced small fry waiting at department “lost and found’,
There dre traffic jams that irk you
There are snooty clerks who shirk you
There's elation, there's frustration, there's delay.
You're so tired you can't smile
You're not sure it's all worth while
And then — you rediscover Christmas Day.
Here's warmth and joy and love and laughter
To be remembered ever after
Here's culmination, here's fulfilment rich and rare,
Troubles vanish, cares all cease
This day of days that speaks of peace
To every home, to every heart and everywhere

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

brow, a knowing smile and a laugh

many, “Dr. Malone” daytime show

pression” hosted by Monte Hall

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.

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-

natives and there were several at-

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. That's where you and
I must come in. Securing peace and
freedom is not the job of a govern-
ment, but of individuals who are
willing to share their time and
money with their less fortunate
neighbors.

le are mostly simple and easy going,
