Abraham Lincoln Jones will go back

When James Whitmore was a stu-
dent at Yale University he was more
interested in law than in acting. He
might have become a professional
football player execpt that he suffer-
ed a knee injury and had to drop the
sport.
He enlisted in the Marine Corps
while still a college senior and re-
ceived his degree while in boot
camp. He rose to the rank of lieu-
tenant with the Fourth Division and
saw action at Saipan, the Marianas,
the Tinian. Injuries put him in the
hospital for a wihle but he returned
to duty in Panama where he spent
one year. 3
Discharged in 1946 he decided to
join. the SO and go back to the Pa-
cific area to entertain the service-
men. Next he went to New York. He
studied with the American Theater
Wing in a professional training class
set up for veterans and eventually
won parts in a stock company. He
met his future wife when he was
playing with the Peterborough Play-
ers in New Hampshire.
He auditioned and won the part of
sergeant in ‘Command Decision.”
For his performance he won the
Antoinette Perry Award for the best
supporting performance and the
Donaldson Award for the best new-
comer of the year 1947.
He made his first movie with
Glenn Ford in “The Undercover
Man.” Dore Schary called him for
“Battleground” and for his perform-
ance in this role he was nominated
for an Academy Award.
He and his wife, Nancy, live in
Santa Monica. They have three sons,

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1962
[He TTI SHH
In pioneer and colonial times, and
for a long time thereafter, most of
our, people lived in rural areas,
where changes in manner of life
and different implements used in
living were slow to be accepted. For
two centuries the changes were not
important, but in the last century
and a quarter farm operation has
changed completely, and thé family
life accordingly. This improvement
did mot take place everywhere at
once.
Only a few hours drive is re-
quired to ‘take anyone back a
couple of hundred years, right in
our own state. Down in Lancaster
County, there gre a lot of the
“Plain People” living like their an-
cestors (and ours) in big houses
without electricity, telephones,
radios, television, and automobiles.
Their big barns follow the same
general plan as many built later
here. The ground floor is for stabl-
ing animals, the second floor has a
threshing * floor in the center
reached by big doors and a ramp,
with ‘mows on the sides, and a pro-
jection at the back over the stables
called a foreshoot or forebay. They
drive buggies, and do their farm
work with horses and mules. They
carry no insurance. If a building
burns, neighbors promptly help out
by building a new one. )
But their farms are by no means
backward looking. [In fact, even
without [latest machinery, they
make most local farms look sickly.
‘Right now they have fields of ma-
turing and ripening grain, hay, to-
bacco plants, corn, and pasture.
Good looking = cattle of several
breeds, hogs, and = chickens are
plentiful. Orchards are well main-
tained and when visited cherries
were ripening. No waste land is
in roadsides and hedgerows. Fences
were inconspicuous if: not missing.
Sometimes flowering legumes came
right down to the black-top road-
on both sides, sometimes the fields
of grain. Men in white shirts and
wide-brimmed hats waved friendly
greeting, and their wives in black
bonnets looked up while hanging
out bags of smiercase to drain.
Some were barefoot. :
One-room schools are ‘set back-

a marvelous time, thanks to the peo-
ple of the Back Mountain area. With-
out your support and backing this
trip to Denver would not have been
possible. The people of Denver could
not believe that in one year a group
of 33 boys from such a small com-
munity were able to raise 52 hund-
red dollars. :

it existed at the turn of the cen-

reproduction of a colonial tavern
contains wooden, cooper, and tin
utensils and furniture in wide
variety. Attached is an outside
bake oven, featured elsewhere in
the area, in which baking is still
done on stated days. ' :
A whole row of blacksmith shops,
leather shops, shoe and harness,
woodworking shops, and similar
facilities cover the period of the late
1800's. There is a big collection of
Pennsylvania rifles first made in
the Lancaster area, later and better
known as Kentucky rifles, and the
tools with which they were made.
There are several Conestoga wagons,
the big freight handler in colonial
times, made in the area. All kinds
of early household and farming
tools are shown in great profusion.
One solid stone watering trough
cut out about the size and shape of
a bathtub, and other stone work
such as millstones, sinks, etc. are
scattered around. There is a com-
plete selection of sleighbells, spin-
ning wheels and similar equipment,
almost anything you could name.
There is a gallery of “fractur
writing”, beautifully illuminated
hand-lettered texts, local pottery,
and many things such as an exten-
sive display of hinges, chains, tools,
etc. hand made by early black-
smiths who were artists as well as
the sole source of supply of all
kinds of iron work. Even early and
later toys are of interest.
A country store looked familiar.

lacked a horse collar hanging up,
and he said he would suggest put-
ting one up, as they have several

The “Plain People” continue in
the ways of their grandfathers,
principally for religious reasons.
They regard many others as
“Fancy” or worldly. The entire
area is highly commercialized, ap-
parently by those not real mem-
bers of the religious sects: Amish,
Mennonites, and Brethern or Dun-
kards. Most of the Pennsylvania
Dutch, who are actually of German
and not Holland Descent; are mem-
bers of more common Protestant
churches, including Lutherans, Re-
formed, Moravians, Episcopalians,
Presbyterians, Methodists, Quakers,
and smaller groups. Scotch Irish,
Welsh, and English people are
scattered around the area.

After painting the front porch to provide a suitable setting for
the beautiful Pennsylvania Dutch bench decorated by Helen Gross,
it was a blow to find that somebody else had held the winning
number.
A not unexpected blow, however. The only time I ever won,
anything of significant value was about thirty years ago, when I
had just yielded to that annual impulse to get a pig-shave, and was
delightfully cool and comfortable with nothing waving about the
ears or blowing ‘across the eyes when driving.
5 A small child drew a number out of the hat, and lo, it was a
chit for a permanent wave. An official waved it around. “Who is
the lucky lady,” he inquired, “who wins this super deluxe per-
manent wave, including a hair cut, shampoo, and pincurl?”
Exposing my ears, the back of my neck, and far too much
forehead, I rose and claimed the prize. . A gasp ran around the
audience. :
Holding the chit, T said, “What's the chances on exchanging it
for a polish, or maybe a simonizing job?”
But habit dies hard. Each Auction time,

than be carted off to Nanticoke or Tunkhannock or West Pittston.
And ‘the face-lifting of the front porch is not totally wasted. It
looks a lot better than it did. = Next time we do it, however, we.

The face-lifting was supposed to begin and end with the floor. ”
Who knew what’ a horrible contrast there would be with sooty

deck paint ? grads :
One thing led to another, and once embarked, it was impossible
to stop. ; : :
Once start on a gallon of paint, native thrift sees to it that
you don’t stop until the bottom of the can has been scraped.
Happily anticipating the beautiful new bench, we gave the
porch floor two coats, with Tom doing the bulk of the painting, and
me touching up the high spots. ;
Still with the bench in mind, .we ordered a gallon of white
paint and .proceeded to paint in a background for the bench, a
suitable setting for a masterpiece. ;
There was. enough grey deck paint left to do the upstairs hall.
And doing the upstairs hall has now brought into sharp and
painful relief the condition of the floors on either side of the hall,
long overdue for a little face-lifting of their own.
