Funny thing about this snow, it just doesn’t make news. The other day I got an invitation to ‘preach up at Dimock Camp Ground the 21st of July in the eve- ning. Catherine laughed and said, “That minister must be an optimist; he ‘thinks the snow will be gone by then!’ I called up my friend Ralph | Weatherly. He tells me he is preaching somewhere every Sunday until Easter — if he can get there! | Last Sunday it was Trinity in Scran- ton and the church in Dunmore. It isn’t necessary any more to go ‘way back to 1888 for snow storms. Some ‘‘old timers” recall the Billy Sunday Snow storm of March 1914. So do I, for.I was out in it all night. Trying to get back to Wyoming Seminary after preaching at the Mt. Top Presbyterian church. My train which was supposed. to leave at 9 o'clock that evening, didn’t get in until 1 in the morning. I remember how beat that engine looked when it puffed into the depot all tired out. the morning. From there I walked to Wyoming Seminary. Makes me tired to think of it. I must have been tough inv those days. Couldn't find the night watchman to let me in to the Seminary and so I began shoveling snow around Dr. Sprague’s corner lot. It was 5 before I could get into the Seminary, ‘there to sleep till 7. Many students were compelled to stay at the Billy Sunday taber- It got me to Wilkes-Barre at 2 in’ nacle in Scranton all night. Hence it is remembered as the Billy Sun- day snow storm. Well, I didn’t in- tend to get going on ‘the weather! SHERWOOD FOREST BABY Sherwood and Priscilla Krum live across the road in what I like to call Sherwood Forest. A baby boy weighing 6 pounds was born to Pris- cilla at 6 Tuesday morning Feb. 26 at Nesbitt Hospital. Priscilla is a daughter of Mrs. Irene Moore of East Dallas. Sherwood’s parents Mr. and Mrs. Howard Krum live next door at the corner. They have named the boy Howard Neison. Oh! I just saw them bringing the baby home, Sat. P.M. CRUSADERS CLASS PARTY Kings Crusaders met last Wednes- day evening at Mt. Zion church. Emma Miles conducted devotions. One suggestion as to what we might give up during Lent was sleeping late on Sunday mornings! The Bakeless Bake Sale was held to which members brought money they would have spent in baking some- thing. The outcome was considered highly successful. Plans were dis- cussed for a Fish Supper on March 16. Madge Smith is in charge of the kitchen, Mildred Krum is dining room chairman. ‘A tea and a read- ing by Jean Emmanuel is to be held near Mothers Day. Catherine Gil- bert will be in charge of the musical part of the program. Games and refreshments as planned by the committee were enjoyed. Present were: Madge Smith, Alice Daniels, Mae Lewis, Marjorie Lewis, Mildred Krum, Jean Earl, Marlene | Joan Dymond (these last three con- stituted the committee), Marjorie Seiple, Thelma George, Jane Lloyd, and Ca'herine Gilbert. William Gelb, son of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Gelb of Carverton He'ghts, is on furlough from the Navy. Sun- day he left for San Francisco and will take passage on the U.S.S, Yorktown, aircraft carrier, for a destinat’on supposedly in Japan. The carrier Long Beach California, port sometime in June or July. His mother, Mrs. Ge!b, has been having a bad time with laryngitis. George and Gloria Parrish’s little boy Dana is sick abed with some “bug.” Tom and Dorothy Gay's daughter, will make Deanna, was operated on for ap- pendicitis at Pittston Hospital re- cently. Tom Wright Jr. is reported to be in Nesbitt Hospital with a heart attack. Mrs. Barbara Falcone, Brown Manor, was a hospital patient re- cently. Harry Smith, Bodle Road Carver- ton was taken to General Hospital last Wednesday, for observation. Flu recently invaded the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Atkinson, Bodle Road Carverton and put the two boys, Donald and Dale aged 10 and 5 years old, in bed. They are normally healthy boys. But to be confined to the house during such lovely snow weather was quite a trial to them. A dog, cat, bird, and two restless boys kept the inside of the Atkinson house lively — and happy. Government Gives In Local post office employees have received approval of Wilkes-Barre office to deliver motor 1egistration | applications for 1963, even if in- correctly addressed. An attached sticker informs the patron that to | receive sticker, he or she must send in the correct address. This is cer- tainly a changeabout from license application non-delivery. Are postal regulations being followed ‘now ? With more and more snow streaming from the skies, residents are looking for non-existent vacan- cies in which to pile the surplus. It appears that many cellars will be wet come springtime. INTRODUCING THE BOYS Last week the list of volunteers who man our community ambulance should have appeared in this column.
