BY CHARLES GILBERT
Next Tuesday, April 2, is George |
| Pollock's 95th birthday. George Pol-
peak
of years and seems to be going
l'on still further. He is in a state of
| wonder and gratitude to his Mak-
|er for his years of good health
{in body and mind, George says, ‘I
lhope to be able to talk to people
i and to God as long as I live.” Well,
| people enjoy talking to George, and
| probably God does too!
| Everybody in the early days did
|lots of walking. He used to walk
‘to Trucksville where he taught
| school. And over the hills by a
{short-cut he walked ‘to the Carver-
ton church. He walked to the Mt.
| Zion school where he taught. He
| boarded at the Wilson home diag-
{onally across from the old school
‘house, His niece Alice Pollock, now
| Mrs, Norman Lewis, was one of
{his pupils. The late Mrs. Clarence
| Swartwood not long ago told Mrs.
| Lewis that she, too, went to school
iat Mt. Zion to George Pollock.
| George loved teaching, the con-
| tact with young minds in the grow- |
ing stage. He loved books, too,
{and still does, If you visit him the
| voice you hear call “Come in”, will
{be coming over the top of a book
lor magazine. History, poetry, the
| Readers Digest, current events, the
‘Methodist Together magazine are
{among his favorite reading matter.
| ‘When George was 21 he suffered
|a severe attack of pneumonia and
| his doctor advised him to give up
{ teaching, After that he began work-
| ing as a motorman on Scranton
| trolley cars. For five years he was
{on his feet on the front platform
of the cars. This doubtless contri-
buted to the only physical weakness
that now bothers him. He found
‘the work interesting. He describes |
.it as a kaleidoscopic experience with
inew and changing contacts along
ithe road with new ‘scenes every
day.
i George Pollock was born April
12, 1867 to David and Eliza ® Pol-
{lock. His father operated a black-
{smith shop across the road from
{the present home on the Carver-
ton to Orange road below Piatt’s
‘garage and the Sandsdale Farms.
| The shop has long since been torn
| down,
| George had a sister Fanny who
‘married the late Amos Sax who
|ran the general store down at the
forks of the Carverton and Trucks-
ville roads. A brother Bruce Pol-
lock was the father of Alice, Lyd-
| ia, Edith and a son David who died

GEORGE POLLOCK
"about two years ago. On the death
lof Bruce Pollock, “Uncle George”
| brought up his brother’s children.
| On the little place where George
now lives in quiet retirement there
used to be orchards, gardens and
| many evergreen trees. He loved
| trees. Some years ago the Carver-
| ton minister was told he could
| have some small evergreens to set
lin front of the parsonage. Those
| trees now almost hide the parson-
age.
| George grew peaches. The story
lis told of a young man helping him
haul well-packed baskets down off
| the hill in a wagon drawn bya
| pair of mules. Rounding the turn
|too sharply the load overturned.
| George remarked, “You may know |
la lot about cars, but you don’t
{know much about mules!”
| Cauliflower was one of his prize
{crops before he retired from active
gardening. This vegetable is fussy,
has to be handled just right; the
leaves have to be tied up in the
| blanching process to produce the
creamy white “cabbage with a col-
lege education”, as some have des-
cribed cauliflower. George knew how
to do it.
The Men's Bible Class in the
Carverton Methodist Church was
lone of George Pollock's delights.
| He never was one to pretend to
know it all but ke did have a knack
of teaching that appealed to the
men, His was not the ‘lecture meth-
od”. It was one of maximum partic-
ipation on the part of the students.
He would assign a Sunday's lesson

was then to prepare to teach it to
the others. George would sit by
and enjoy it. The late Lester Culv-
er used to say how much that
method meant to him. Lester put
everything else aside when it was
his weék to teach. I've got to study
to teach it.” Then Lester got down
to business looking up everything
he could find on the subject. George,
of course, knew enough about teach-
ing to know that a pupil learns
best by doing. His men learned that
way.
One of the girls tells that “Uncle
George” always says, “If you can't
don’t say anything.” He follows
that rule himself, always managing
his neighbors. That is why he has
so many friends around Carverton
who enjoy dropping in for a chat.
Often when the girls tried to do
he would say, “You shouldn’t do
i that. You've repaid me many times
over for anything I ever did for
you.” But the girls testify that they
can never repay kim for his in-
fluence on their lives and for the
many kind things he has done for
them.
George is proud to show visitors
his Masonic pin on tke lapel of his
coat. This was the symbol honor-
ing him for his 50 years of serv-
ice as a Mason in the lodge of
which he was for many years the
chaplain.
George Pollock's nieces live near
enough to keep track of him. Edith
lives next door, Lydia lives with
him, and Alice is only two miles
{up the road at Mt. Zion. And an
adoring ‘community is honored to
‘have this hale and hearty and
genial friend still in its midst.

Mt. Zion
We've read in the papers about
contracts being let for two of the
area roads. Now the men with
stakes, wooden pegs, transit, and
“men working” signs have been on
our road. We asked about the stake
in the yard, wondered if the road
was coming clear over into our
front yard, They told us no, that
the road would be swinging away
from us a little, then cutting out
some curves down the road.
Well, that was more than routine
news when the Mary Lewis Bible
Class met last Wednesday after-
noon; The Building Fund received
$75! As it was needed; at least
you'd think so if you saw the ex-
tensive improvements already done
in the sanctuary and more yet to
be. Wkat I was going to say is
that the Mary Lewis Bible Class
met with Edith Perry, Freda Krum
and Jennie Smith as committee.
These were present besides the com-
| mittee: Ida Mullison, Muriel Roz-
| elle, Myrtle Smith, Blanche Lewis,
Sally Van Tuyle, Mrs. Samuel Ball,
Ruth Perry.
