Editorially Speaking:
An Appeal From A Teacher
Dear Editor:
I have just finished reading two articles in different
newspapers and I am writing this to relieve my own
anger.
The first was about a sixteen year old girl who had
visited a bar before being killed in an automobile acci-
dent. The second about a girl who was killed by a man
who had been drinking.
I don’t know if the girls had been drinking.
I do not blame the teenagers, but where did they
get the liquor? :
I personally know many bars that serve minors.
These must be operated by conscienceless, mercenary
people.
Drink isn’t easily handled by many adults, but they
are still old enough to be responsible for their behavior.
But when minors are served by adults, the respon-
sibility lies not on the teenagers, but on the various
taverns that serve them.
Notice I said “various”, not all taverns!
those who do not serve minors.
Teenagers need our guidance.. Are adults giving it
to them by example and by violation of the law that
may cost their lives? Are we that hungry for financial
gain?
I think we have enough adult excessive drinkers on
‘1 admire
the road to keep the tavern business going. We don’t .
need the foennge: trade, especially when the results can
be so tragic.
I realize tow. difficult it is with faked identities and
eligible adults lying and making purchases for teenagers.
Those who do the purchasing are just as guilty as
those who sell it.
I sincerely believe that cards are often ‘“‘checked”
just to put the operators in the clear when they know
that the buyer is under age.
If you think that the writer is an old teetotalling
biddy, you're wrong. I am a young teacher of twenty-
two who has seen what alcohol can do to young people.
F write this as a plea to tavern owners and operators.
Please let the teenagers alone They will be adults soon
enough,
Let parents be responsible for giving liquor to their
children if they wish! Give those parents who don’t, a
break!
When you serve or sell beer to a minor, think! Would
you want your child killed on the highways? How would
you regard she person who served them? Who gives you
the right to place another’s child in your hands? Please
look into your own heart. Stop this teenage drinking.
Your small contribution may save one life. Isn’t it worth
it?

Poet's Corner
MUSIC IN THE NIGHT
I heard the sound of music in the night,
A faint, persistent rhythm through my dreams
That wove an old familiar pattern of delight,
The tiny song of brooks and sylvan streams—
And then, awakening, I heard against my window pane
That haunting melody of dreams, the music of the rain.
It sang with undertones of gladness in it’s voice
And on the parched and weary earth in benediction fell,
As though it felt the gasping need and could rejoice
With man and earth who loved it's gentle song so well;
Then into slumber’s gentle arms I fell again,
Where echoed, soft and cool the music of the rain.

Looking at
T-V
With GEORGE A. and
EDITH ANN BURKE
GUNSMOKE has quite a record
longevity, It was on radio for 10
years and has been on TV for seven
years.
Last Fall, the half hour series be-
came a full hour show on CBS. One
of the most interesting characters
is “Doc Adams” played by Milburn
Stone. According to Mr. Stone a
number of viewers who have be-
come fans of the series in the last
few years have no knowledge of
how Doc Adams came into the
series. We must admit that we were
in that category. So Mr. Stone was
very happy to fill us in on previous
details.
“Doc was born Galen Adams in
Boone County, Ind., in 1822,” says
Stone. ‘His father, a merchant,
was a hard-working man of Scotch-
Irish descent. His mother, a gentle
woman, taught the small boy a love
for books and good music. She
fought a losing battle with ill
health and passed away during
Galen’s second year in high school.
“The young 'Adams, saddened,
took on a serious, unsmiling dedica-
tion aimed toward becoming a doc-
tor. He was graduated from Wil-
liam and Mary College in Virginia
in 1845, interned in a New York
hospital and after two years re-
turned to Boone County to hang out
his shingle.
“Working as a general practi-
tioner Doc saved enough money to
repay his father and enable him to
return to New York and become a
surgeon. He studied under some of
the best doctors in the country.
[When the Civil War broke out he
volunteered as a battle field sur-
geon. The next four years were a
nightmare of blood and utter frus-
tration for Doc. He hated operating
on boys by candlelight in mud-filled
tents. He cringed at their screams.
“War over in 1865, Doc Adams
was an old man at 43. Bitter, nerves
shot and completely fed up with the
human race in general and doctor-
ing in particular, he returned to
Boone County, determined never
again to practice medicine.
‘When he had been there a year
hig father died. Now he had no
ties and he shoved off to New Or-
leans. While on a riverboat he
saved the life of a gambler by
bumping the gun of one of the play-
ers who had lost heavily.
“The pair became friends and out
It gratitude the gambler showed
Doc the finger points of gambling so
The became a riverboat gambler.
He traveled all over the country.
Eventually he came to Dodge City.
He was headed for Longbranch
Saloon when he witnessed an inci-
dent that was to change his life.
Marshall Matt Dillion faced three
gunmen and the outlaws left him
near death.
“Doc admired the courage of Dil-
lon and since no one was coming
to his aid, exploded and asked “Why
doesn’t someone call a doctor?’
When told that there was no physi-
cian in Dodge City, Doc snarled
orders to carry Matt into the saloon
and using what few crude imple-
ments he could find, Doc removed
the bullets.
“Matt convalesced and he and
Doc became good friends. Matt
argued that Dodge City needed a
doctor and Doc agreed to stay.”
And that’s the story behind Doc
Adams.

Shortly after the last Presidential
election we commented that the
new President had been elected by
a very close margin, furnished en-
tirely by a few big cities. We also
commented that in all history no
state has ever endured when con-
trol was assumed by city forces,
given to corruption and mob rule.
In this country, already, some big
cities are notorious for political
bribery and gangsterism, unchecked
by complacent city authorities.
The President's recent proposal
to establish gq Department of Urban
Affairs, purely to make political
capital, was defeated in Congress,
but federal funds are being, spent in
increasing amounts for urban re-
newal and all kinds of city projects.
some of which could hardly be de-
fended except as a measure to
secure votes.
Recently Alex K. Washburn, pub-
lisher of the Hope, Arkansas, STAR
former area resident, son of W. O
Washburn, once summer attendan!
at, and liberal contributor to Dallas
Church, came out with the state-
ment that voters are deliberately
being placed on welfare rolls tc
secure their votes and that thie
gives a built-in~majority to the
Democratic party. While he gives
statistics for Arkansas, which has
no very big cities, the same princi-
ple would apply ‘anywhere. He
cites Thomas Jefferson, founder of
the Democratic Republicans, to
whom the present Democrats pay
homage, while ignoring completely
his general principles of govern-
ment.
Although he was 3% author of the
Decliration of Independence, Jef-
ferson took no part in the Constitu-
tional Convention, being in Europe
at the time. He corresponded with
various leaders, but in the sailing
ships of the day, letters were some-
times received and answered long
after the events covered. In par-
ticular, he questioned the proposed
constitution in several articles,
while approving most of it in gen-
eral.
. Over and over again, in several
letters to different men, he disap-
proved the four year term for presi-
dent with possibility of reelections
without limit. He even envisaged
foreign interference to keep in
power, term after term, a president
known to be friendly to any cer-
tain powers. The restraint of Wash-
ington in refusing a third term,
supported by Jefferson himself, set
a two term precedent which held
for over a hundred and forty years.
However Jefferson’s “fears were
then sustained. Franklin D. Roose-
velt was elected and reelected for
life, Of course, Lincoln, and others
who were assassinated or otherwise
died in office, might be considered
to have held the office for life. In
recent years an amendment, insert-
ing Jefferson’s ideas, has been
adopted.
Jefferson deplored the omission
of a Bill of Rights. This was cor-
rected within a few years. From
Paris, he wrote to James Madison,
Dec. 20, 1787, including the points
above mentioned, and the following
also, quoted only in part:
“I own, I am not a friend to a
very energetic government, It is al-
ways oppressive. It makes the gov-
ernors indeed more at their ease, at
the expense of the people, . . . And
say, finally, whether peace is best
preserved by giving energy to the
government, or information to the
people. This last is the most cer-
tain, and the most legitimate engine
of government. Educate and inform
the whole "mass ‘of the people .. .
They are the only reliance for the
preservation of our liberty. After
all, it is my principle that the will
of the majority should prevail”.
“This reliance cannot deceive us,
as long as we remain virtuous; and
I think we shall be so, as long as
agriculture is our principal object,
which will be the case, while there
remains vacant lands in any part of
America. When we get piled upon
one another in large cities, as in
Europe, we shall become corrupt as
in Europe, and go on eating one an-
other as they do there.”
In Arkansas, Mr. Washburn says
one fifth of the voters receive
taxes to buy their daily bread, in-
stead of earning their daily bread
to pay taxes. He advocates dis-
qualifying the voters on relief.
Maybe he has something.
But, merit and justice notwith-
standing, it will never come to
pass. This country today is con-
trolled by the big cities. In the
twenty - five largest; non-whites,
who make up a lot of the relief
rolls, comprise 17.6% of those of
voting age. Even if this substantial
block could be outvoted,. there
would be a cry against racial dis-
rimination that would compel
abandonment of the idea. Ten cities
have over twenty percent non-
whites. While probably few vote
in New Orleans, Memphis, or At-
lanta, the other seven show num-
bers from 100,000 to over 700,000,
in percentages from 13.2% to
30.5%. You cannot argue against
such built-in voting blocks when
well managed by astute politicians,
as they are now.
AN APPEAL
Dear Sir:
The parents and children in the
Meadowcrest area of Trucksville
are concerned about the lack of
sports facilities. There is a need
for space that can be used for play-
ing football and baseball without our
being chased from peoples’ lawns,
or breaking windows. (This has
happened a few times to me.)
Perhaps by publishing this letter,
you might interest persons in pro-
viding land for our use.
Sincerely yours,

CEMETERY NEEDS CARE
Dear Editor:
I would like to bring to your at-
tention the condition of Shupps
Cemetery, in = Larksville Borough,
located at the Plymouth end of the
Narrows Road, across from the
Shawnee Ready Mix.
This cemetery is over-grown with
brush, weeds, vines, briars, grass,
fallen trees, etc. The markers are
knocked over, broken, and are half
covered with weeds and ground.
There are about one-hundred
burials in this cemetery, with the
grave stones dating from 1800 to
1908. There are also about fifteen
or twenty Civil War Veterans and
also family names of early resi-
dents of Wyoming Valley.
It seems to me that some veter-
ans group, patriotic group, or Lu-
zerne County Commissioners should
be interested enough to clean up
this historical cemetery.
I have contacted the Larksville
Borough, Lions ‘Club, and the Ameri-
can Legion Post No. 463, but have
not received any action.
I would like to hear from you, on
this matter.
Thank you,
Harry B. Snyder

JOB WELL DONE
Dear Mr. Editor,
I just can’t help writing to say
what a pleasant surprise I had
Wednesday during the heavy thun-
der shower when I pulled my ga-
loshes on, grabbed my husband's
long raincoat, and hot footed it home
to close the windows-- expecting to
wade through Lehman Avenue up to
my waist as usual--only to find the
Borough truck ahead of me opening
the drains! In all the twenty or so
years I've attempted this marathon,
thig is the first time the road was
cleared during a heavy storm-- ex-
cept on a few times when I found
my late mother-in-law out there
digging them open.

for this innovation-- but it certainly
