FUNERAL DI REcToRs Edward Eckert Suffers Fatal Heart Attack Admitted to General Hospital | Thursday night, suffering from a heart attack, Edward Eckert, 74, resident of Sweet Valley for the past forty years, died Saturday morning. He had suffered a similar attack two weeks earlier, ‘but had been dis- charged from the hospital. An en- thusiastic hunter, he had made plahs for shooting his deer this season, and had already been in the field during small game season. One of his main delights was lending a hand with the building of his grandson, Donald Gross’ new house adjacent ‘to his own. A woodsman, a rugged man who could be thrown by two men but not kept down, he had worked for the Turrell Lumber Company when North Mountain was a seemingly un- limited source of lumber, also for the Ricketts and Central Pennsyl- vania Lumber Companies. He and his wife, the former {Stina Speary, observed their 54th wedding anniversary May 8. He was born in Nanticoke, son of the late Daniel and Melinda Sobers Eckert. He belonged to Sweet Val- ley Game Protective Association and attended Sweet Valley Christian Church. Surviving are: his widow; three children: Mrs. George Gross, Sweet Valley; Mrs. James Kurfees, Wash- ington, D. C.; and Harold, Buffalo; five grandchildren and one great- grandchild; brothers: Thomas, Schenectady, and Henry, Sweet Val- | ley. | Services were conducted Tuesday morning from the Bronson Funeral Home, Rev. Kirby Jones officiating. Burial was at Mossville.

KaNE We are all aware of the Feast of Christmas and the prepa- rations that it entails... These the purchasing of gifts, the Lg of cards and in general preparations usually include the spirit of remembering. However, we are mot as well aware of the preparation that the Church sets aside so that we might spiritually prepare ourselves for the coming of our Divine Saviour and thereby open to Him our hearts in everlasting gratitude for the fact that He had come to us in the First Christmas in order that He might redeem us. The four weeks of preparation are called the Season of Advent. people awaited the coming of It reminds us of the 4,000 years that the Israelitic their Saviour. And so mow it is the time of joyous anticipation as well as penitential sacri- fice. Nature itself has set aside her verdure and only the ever- green, symbol as they are of the eternal, remain in striking con- trast to the naked branches of the trees which are a reminder of the passing of all thing mortal and of the reality that we too stripped of all things earthly will face some day the winter chill of death. But death is farthest from our thoughts as we prepare in Advent. Advent is a preparation for life. Abundant life. During this penitential Advent Season life becomes all the more endearing because it is the reason for our mortification and sacrifice. The Infant Christ is the essence of life and, as | He is so often pictured, holds His extended arm in an embrace of love so we may share His life. The four weeks of Advent are a time of great opportunity to manifest our love for this Infant by a solid spiritual preparation through prayer rather than forgetting in our material cares the true spirit of the Advent Season. Christ came to us because He loved us. We must prepare ourselves if we are going to share that love. In the words of the Epistle that is set for the First Sunday of Advent we read, “Knowing the season, it is now the hour for us to arise from sleep. For mow our salvation is nearer than when we believed. The night is passed and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunken- ness, mot in debauchery and wantonness, mot in strife and jealousy. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh and its concupiscence.’ | Youth For Christ Youth For Christ bus will leave Shavertown Shopping Center for Wilkes-Barre Little Theatre Satur- day at 7 p.m., return at around 11 after a snack stop at Kingston Corn- ers.
