Now Home, Nelson And Mae Lewis
Recall Happy California Holiday
Nelson Lewis was back on the
job reluctantly handling over boxes
of apples when I went to talk with
him about his trip to California.
(What a luscious place for an inter-
view — the apple cellar! So apple-
ishly smelling that your mouth
starts watering.)
Nelson opened the interview with:
“That's the only way to travel,
Charlie”! It was by jet from Phil-
adelphia express to Los Angeles in
5 hours, 125 passengers with a
crew of 7. “You aren't aware of
any such speed.” The flight was
delayed 3 hours because of word
from the coast that there was too
much fog. Groundling that I am I
do enjoy hearing the story of a
thrilling flight high up where’ we |
| ways. enjoy the
used to think heaven was.
From Los Angeles it was an hour
or so by car to Riverside where son
Lowell lives with his wife Alice and
children Beth Ann, and Bradley
Richard. Dr. Lewis is assistant
director of Horticultural research in
the citrus department of Riverside
University of California.
While on the west coast the
Lewises visited Mr. and Mrs. Sandel
as happens to the best of news-
papers, the Post is delayed a day.
She is so crestfallen that her post-
man says he wishes he could print
one for her!
JUNIOR CHOIR IS FEASTED
The official board of the Mt. Zion |
Church last Thursday night gave a |
supper party for the junior choir in|

gift. We in the pews at church al- |

are sure to bear fruit in the future.

in their maroon robes and white

congregation and meditate on the
Snyder memorial window which I
have mentioned before. (What a
nice way for a family to be
memorialized!). In greeting people
at the door after service Elmer and

Mae Lewis showed me some of
the gorgeous stone polishing the
Hunts had done and given to her.
One piece was the size and shape of
a baseball, of may colored designs
in it, highly polished.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hunt have this |
| that
as a hobby, collecting and polishing
petrified wood and other pieces of
stone from the desert and making
ornamental pieces and jewel set-
tings. They say they never know
just what color or design is hidden
away in the stone until it is
polished. (That's like people we
meet, isn't it?
If Mae had taken a wheelbarrow
instead . of a jet I guess she could
have come home loaded with pretty
stones and many varieties of citrus
fruits, But a wheelbarrow has
some disadvantages when it comes
to transcontinental travel!
Mae told me a funny one about
the Hunts and the Dallas Post. Of
course they are subscribers and the
home-town newspaper is like a let-
ter from home when you are 3000
miles away. It's that way with Mrs.
Hunt. On the day her Dallas Post

A CARVERTON LOSS
Carverton, as well as the John
Coon family, will miss Madeline
Coon Riaubia who died last week
following surgery. The Coon family
which we number among our
friends of many years was a family
of many native abilities. Playing
the piano and organ was Madeline's
hobby and gift. You couldn't say
she was a trained musician, but was
one who had the gift of music so
much a part of her nervous system
it had to be expressed.
Throughout life of many ups and |
downs, music helped her over and |
through it all. My sympathy goes
to the family.
A NEW, BOOK FOR
MEMORIAL LIBRARY
You may find a rhymester most
anywhere. Almost anybody can
make up a jingle. But a real poet
is rarer than a day in June. At the
Pittston Hospital the assistant to
Miss Esther Tinsley in hospital ad-
ministration is Miss Helen Dumack.
Last week she presented me with
an autographed copy of a neat little
book of her poems entitled “Great
Presence’. She asked if I would
take two copies over to Dallas to
the Back Mountain Memorial Li-
brary. I said I would. The editor
Tester Clark—writes a Foreword
in which he says in part: “Here is
a poet with an enormous amount of
generosity in giving of herself to
others with a rustic simple candor,
in expressing her faith in the life
about her and yearning for a fellow-
ship with the world of people in
her daily experience. A descendent
of simple farm folk who tilled the
soil for many years and absorbed
that magical essence of nature in its
entirety, has put a never ending
song in the heart of Helen Du-
mack.”
The title comes from her lines
called “My resolve . . . to be ever
aware of the Great Presence of life
dwelling within me.”
The book will have a local color
for two of the poems have familiar
settings. One is on ‘Fine Arts
Fiesta” which many of us have at-
tended down on Public Square.
Whether many of us have noted as
Miss Dumack has when she wrote
what she saw also “on the edge of
the same city' square’.
And don’t miss reading the one
with the really Back Mountain set-
ting, “Lehman Horse Show.”
You might not realize when you
see this quiet stepping, soft voiced
hospital administrator, talking to a
workman or a nurse or working be-
hind her desk that she is a poet.
But you go to Back Mountain
Memorial Library and ask for Great
Presence and read it. It is poetry.
I don’t rememher whether any of
her lines rhyme or not. They don’t

ORANGE NEWS
Sunday morning Mrs. Gilbert and
I attended the communion service |
at Orange while Catherine attended
Sunday School and church at Mt. |
Zion. My reason for this shift was |
that I needed to get away early to |
get to Valley Crest by one. It was
a pleasant experience to worship |
among my Orange friends. My pas- |
tor always asks me to assist at the
communion service whenever my
schedule allows me to be on hand.
