4 ~The National Wasteline
Millions of Americans are digging their own graves
with their knives and forks.
These citizens, perhaps as many as 50 million, are
victimg of their own appetites. They eat too much, too
often, and “too high on the hog”. Despite repeated warn-
/ ings from health and medical authorities, they continue to
eat all they want — which is often two helpings more
than they need. ; Fo
The situation created by this nation-wide practice of
over-eating presents, quite literally, a grave problem, Ac-
. cording to findings published by the National Health Edu-
cation Committee, Inc., overweight is the No. 1 factor in
predisposing a person to arteriosclerosis, heart attack and
stroke.
Reinforcing the committee’s study are facts and
figures developed by the Society of Actuaries, which an-
alyzed the survivorship record of ordinary life insurance.
policy holders for a 20-year period. It was found that,
among men 20 percent or more overweight, mortality
from heart and circulatory diseases was 40 percent higher
than among standard risks. And that’s not all. Excess
mortality in the overweight group topped 50 percent for
cerebral hemorrhage, 68 percent for digestive diseases and
approximately 75 percent for nephritis.
Certainly a graph plotted from life insurance statis-
tics would indicate an alarming expansion of the national
waistline — make it wasteline because, in this case,
that’s precisely what it is. It has been said before that
there is no better way to expand the lifeline than by re-
ducing the waistline.
In almost every case, over-eating is a habit. It may
be forged by those years and years of between-meal or
bedtime snacks. It may be traced to parental pleas to
‘clean up that plate” or to other causes. b
But, whatever the origin, as a habit, it can be at-
tacked and changed! And over-eating is dangerous
enough in its long-range effects to deserve an assault.
Medical and nutritional scientists have developed nutri-
tionally adequate means to combat excess weight safely
and effectively and it’s high time more Americans began
the battle seriously.
Looking at
T-V
With GEORGE A. and
EDITH ANN BURKE
Lee Marvin, who did such an
excellent job as the alcoholic doct-
or in the latest Dr. Kildaire story
says that his early aspirations did
not include a dramatic career.
He was born in New York on
Feb. 19, 1924. He attended New
York public schools and was gradu-
ated from high school in St. Leo,
Fla., where his family had moved.
In 1942, fresh from high school, he
joined the Marine Corps, saw act-
ion in the Pacific, and was wounded
in Saigan. After 13 months in Navy
hospitals, he was discharged at the
age of 21.
Once again _a civilian, and with
no particular ideas as to a liveli-
hood, Marvin got a job spraying
chicken houses. “I disinfected chick-
en houses all over Delaware,” he
says. Later, he served as a plumb-
er's assistant in Woodstock, N. Y.
One night, wearing levis ‘and boots,
he went to a party which was at-
tended by members of a local stock
company which had lost its leading
man. :
They had a play coming up called
“Roadside” which was about a big,
loud-mouthed Texan. They asked
him to try it, so he did and stayed
the rest of the Summer, appear-
ing in five or six other plays. That
Winter, he began studying at the
American Theatre Wing.
Marvin. had a part in the first
“Medic” show that was presented
back in the early 50's. He had just
completed playing the role of a
doctor in Stanley Kramer's film
production of the best-selling nov-
el, “Not as a Stranger.” ¢
This initial program, which was
called one of the most powerful
ever seen on television was a boon
to his career. Previously, he had
always been cast in ‘unsympath-
etic” roles. After playing the hus-
band of a young expectant moth-
er who must race against death,
he began landing much more sympa-
thetic assignments. :
Rivals - Two of television's top
musical programs, ‘Bell Telephone
Hour” and “Voice of Firestone” may
be scheduled at the same hour next
Fall.
“Voice of Firestone,” which will
return after a three-year absence,
will be televised on Sunday from
10 to 10:30 p.m. by the ABC net-
work, NBC-TV is considering a plan
to present eight “Bell Telephone
Hour” programs on Sunday from 10
to 11 pm. y
It is understood that the tele-
phone company is not pleased with
this. arrangement. They would pre-
fer to be scheduled at various hours
during the season.
It seems a shame to present two
good programs in the same time
slot.
Sid Caesar will star in nine half-
hour comedy shows to be televised
by ABC-TV next season at the rate
of one a month.
In all his skits we can never
remember Sid capitalizing on his
musical ability. z
He took up saxaphone in hig
school. He used to play at dances
with a group known as the Swing-
time Six. He played from 9:00 p.m.
until unconscious for fees average-
ing about $2.00 a night.
Graduating from high school with
a burning ambition to become a ser-
ious musician, Caesar took an ush-
er’s job to earn enough money to
further his studies at the Juilliard
School of Music, in New York.
He got to Juilliard, and was mak-
ing plans to continue his musical
career at the Paris: Conservatory
when World War 2 intervened.
Meanwhile he had played dates with
‘name’ bands, including those of
Charlie Spivak, Claude Thornhill and
Shep Fields.
Special Notice
Gate of Heaven Holy Name So-
ciety will receive Communion at
the 7:30 mass on Sunday instead
of at the 9 o'clock mass. Gradu-
ation for eighth grade students will
be held at 9 a. m.

Probaby the oldest cemetery of
old Dallas Township, still in use and
maintained in good condition, is the
Old Ide Burial Ground on the road
between Huntsvlle and Idetown, a
short distance north of route 118.
It has also been called the Parks
Cemetery, and other names. It is
now located in Lehman Township.
‘As in many old cemeteries, there
are a number of graves indicated
by unmarked field stones, and there
are probably many with no markers
at all. These unknown former resi-
dents may have led useful lives,
and may have lived them earlieer
than some of those who are re-
membered by stones. And some of
the marked graves have stones
which have been eroded. In such
cases any dates, ages, etc. shown be-
low should be understood to be
approximate.
One of the best known of the pio-
neers, Abraham Pike, 6th Continen-
tals, Pa., Revolutionary War, has no
legible dates. There may be other
Revolutionary veterans among the
unkown. Earliest born among: the
marked graves is Nehemiah Ide
(1746-1823), who served through
the Revolution and was one of the
early Conneticut settlers of this
area. His wife Mary Bennett Tde
(1755-1850) came with him, toget-
her with their own children and
three of Nehemiah’s nieces and
nephews. Generations of Ides are
buried together, the older of whom,
Lusina Parker (1757-1845) and
Eleazer Parker (1781-1873) who
lived to be very old may be of the
same family.. Jacob Vanwinckler
(1762-1843) another very old man
may have no local descendents here
now- Joseph Worthington (1769-
1853) another old man founded a
large family some of whom still live
in town. His wife Sarah (1790-1857)
apparently was younger.
- Mary Hunter (1771-1856) is desi-
gnated ‘Wife of William of Old
England”. The Hunters were a pro-
minent family, one of their daugh-
ters being the wife of Lenoard Mac-
hell, There was once a ‘Hunter
School” near the junction of Mac-
hell and Reservior Ave. We did nct
notice any grave for her husband.

(1775-1847) Seon of the late Dr.
Harry A. Brown. His wife Levinna
(1785-1870) came fron Connecticut
with him. Probably all the interven-
ing generations ate buried in the
same cemetery, as is Dr. Brown.
Danel Higgins (1779-1854) and his
wife Mary, who died in 1827, were
also among the early settlers. Sam-
uel Elston (1785-1853) was probably
the anctstor of many local Elstons,
several generations of whom are
buried there.
A lot of the second generation ldes
were born before! 1800: Nathaniel
(1786-1849), Mary Allen, his wife
(1789-1826); Elijah (1782-1860);
Lydia died 1833; Sally, wife of Ezra
(1793-1867); Stephen. (1785--1848);
William (1786-1854).
Annis Fuller (1787-1878); Samuel
Johnson (1787-186); Jane Miers wife
of (illegible 1788-1854); Amos Parks
(1797-1843); Johan Smith (1794-
1878); Zechariah S. Neely (1793-
1874) and Desire Neely (1790-1845)
were all born before 1800:
Since most of the early settlers
came shortly after 1800 probably
all those enumerated above were
born elsewhere, mgstly in New Eng-
land.
No effort was made to record any
names of those born after 1800 as
there had to be a line somewhere. It
is noted that some families not even
mentioned above are represented by
several graves, some of them cover-
ing several generations.
Everytime we go into the court-
house at Tunkhannock we are im-
pressed with the list of names of
Revolutionary soldiers prepared by
their D.A.R. It is too bad someone
does not take a similar interest lo-
cally.
The Ide Cemetery shows graves of
soldiers of other wars also, includ-
ing one man who served’ in The
Black Hawk War, near forgotizsn
