charges was called off last Friday
night on account of everybody-
knows-what, the snow! 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,

day he left for San Francisco and

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.
