What do you do with the left-over medicines in your cabinet, the pills and syrups and ointments that you weed out each spring? Do you dispose of them in the trash barrel, or do you take time to pour liquids down the drain and flush away the pills your dentist gave you for pain after an ex- traction, the pills you found you did not need? There they are, lethal to children in any quantity. Nos ' Put them in the wastebasket or the trash barrel, and what happens? Children will rummage among the delightful bits of jetsam, and they will find the pills. Not only will they find them, they will swallow them. They won’t eat them because they don’t taste good? Let’s don’t be silly. Children will eat anything that suggests contraband. Aspirin in quantity can be very dangerous. The daily paper crawls with accounts of _ children who have died because they found a bottle of sleeping pills. The only safe place for pills is in solution, down the ~ drain, where no child can eat them. And while you are cleaning out the closet, burn those thin plastic bags that your freshly cleaned suit came home “in. Thin plastic sacks can smother a child, pasting them- selves snugly over nose and mouth with the slightest in- halation, resisting flailing hands and futile struggles for -. breath. Have a thought for the elderly folks in your house- hold, too, and don’t wax that floor to a slippery polish - that Wi result | in a broken hip. Be sensible about your housecleaning. * * * GIVE THE AMBULANCE CREWS A BREAK It might be easier to round up ambulance crews dur- ing the daytime in the Back Mountain, if hospitals would cooperate in releasing stretcher and crew as soon as the patient is delivered to the emergency room or the private floor. All too frequently volunteers who have left their own business at the cost of lost hours and even at times cur- tailed pay envelopes, are held at the hospital while pa- tients are X-rayed or examined, and the family arranges for admission, while a transfer could have handily been made to a hospital stretcher, and the ambulance crew permitted to return to home base. Volunteers state that it frequently takes an hour to make delivery of a patient to the hospital, in addition to the time spent in picking him up at his home or at the scene of an accident, and the running time to and from the hospital. It is just as time-consuming to get him dis-~ charged as it is to get him admitted. These are not men on salary. They are men who from a sense of community welfare are contributing their services. They ask nothing except cooperation, a chance to do their job acceptably, and as speedy a release as possible so that they may return to their jobs. Twenty years ago, fifteen years ago, twelve years ago, if a resident of this area needed ambulance service, a commercial ambulance had to be obtained at an astro- nomical fee. A donation to the aribulatics fund is like insurance, Maybe you will never have to use the ambulance, but it is there. It is not fair to these hard-working members of the erew to expect miracles from them: not fair to call for an ambulance when a private car would do as well; and certainly not fair to tie up the ambulance and the stretcher and the men at the hospital while other ambu- lance units must remain on call to cover the area during And if the trip is out of town, Invol mileage as well as time, express your gratitude ‘with a check for extra service if you ean afford te do so. | Only Yesterday Ten, Twenty and Thirty Years Ago In The Dallas Post It Happened 30 Years Ago H.

W. Wallace, were fond of music, especially singing. They had "| good voices and a good ear, using at least four musical scales, in compass from one to three octaves. There were songs for all public ceremonies, with speical songs for prayer, the dance, hunting, games, battle, court- ship, and death. Prayer songs were guarded with extreme care against error. If the words were not “straight”, they might fail to reach the right powers and harm might result. Their instruments were the deerskin drum and the turtle rattle, a dried turtle shell containing a few pebbles or grains of corn. The flute was probably borrowed from the white man. Ever since, music has been popular in Pennsylvania, Many natives have become well known at home and elseware, and others born in other sectors have become well known while residing here. There were two early music cen- ters in the Province, where the in- fluence was chiefly (German and re- ligious. At Ephrata, where the Seventh-day Baptist had a semi- monastic society, hymn-writing and the composition of religious music was actively pursued. The music was printed on their own presses and sung by their own choirs. At Beth- lehem, the Moravians wrote and sang good music, much of which is still popular there. Annually, for generations, they have held a festi- val devoted to church and chamber music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The Philadelphia Orchestra is old and going strong, being one of the top orchestras in the nation, with a budget of about two million dollars a year, of which over three-quarters is earned. Leopold Stokowski was conductor twenty-two years and Eugene Ormandy is still there after twenty-seven years. The Pittsburgh Symphony was conducted for a while by Victor Herbert (born in Ireland) one of the nations top composers. Colleges and high schools through- out the state feature bands, orches- tras, and choral groups, some of which continue for decades after college is finished, for example Fred Waring’s Pennsylvanians. Some com munities support excellent choruses. There are several in this county. Symphonies were composed by Samuel Barber, Peter Mennin, and Charles Wakefield Cadmon. Some Safety Golden eagles being our National Symbol, now have the same exemp- tion from shooting as the bald eagle does. Congress found that the pro- tection, was necessary for these two reasons. First, golden eagles, like the bald eagles, are apparently becoming less and less, Secondly young bald eagles are difficult to distinguish from golden eagles up to about three years of age. Persons shooting what they thought to be golden eagles could have been relatively scarce bald eagles, JIM HOPPLE There’s A Reason For every burden, every care, For every pain that we must bear, Rambling ‘Around — D. A. Waters SN SR HH EE A EE EN SX EE RE HHH RRR RRNER composers have been more noted for songs, such as Septimus Winner. Best known of the numerious works of Ethelbert Nevin, bérn in Allege- eny ‘County, were ‘Narcissus” and “The Rosary”. The last named was sung all over Europe and America by Madam Schumann-Heink, who called it the “perfect song”. Stephen C. Foster of Pittsburgh wrote many well known songs and ballads such as “Oh Suzanna’, ‘My Old Kentucky Home”, “Old Folks at Home”, “Old Black Joe”, ‘Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair”, and a host of others. He lived in Towanda with his brother in 1840-41 and at- tended Towanda Academy. The “Tioga Waltz” his first composition, was written there. From nearby Camptown, he probably drew the title ‘only for his “Camptown Races”. Harry T. Burleigh of Erie was a well-known = baritone, composed much original music, and arranged many negro spirituals. Other well known Pennsylvania singers include | Louise Homer, Paul Althouse, Dus- olina Giannini, Helen Jepson, Nelson Eddy, John Charles Thomas, and Marian Anderson of Philadelphia. She has been a concert singer of all kinds of songs for about thirty years, has received numerous degrees and medals for singing all over the world. She was a member of the U.S. dele- gation to the U.N. In the days of the great religious revivals, neighborhood group and family singing, no song had more popular and lasting reputation than hymns, many written by Pennsyl- vanians. Most of the composers were themselves singing evangelists, and some also wrote words to their tunes. | Their songs appeared in song books and church hymnals in the latter part of the last century and some still are used and sung. Philip. Bliss of Bradford County wrote ‘Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy” and “I am so glad that Jesus loves me”. Ira D. Sankey, who ac- companied the famed evangelist Dwight L. Moody, is best remem- bered for “The Ninety and Nine” and “I Am Praying for You’. His home was in Lawrence County. John Wal- ter of Lebanon County published the first hymnal for the Evangelical Church. Robert Lowry of Lewisburg wrote many hymns which were sung in foreign lands, one of the best known being, “Shall we gather at the River”. Valve . . . There's a reason. For every grief that bows the head, For every tear drop that is shed, There’s a reason. For every hurt, for every plight, For every lonely, pain racked night, There's a reason. But if we trust God as we should, All must work out for our good. God knows the reason. Dear Mrs. Hicks, This was sent to me by my bro- ther-in-law, Rev. Anthony Stredny to help me through the hard times following my husband’s death. It may be of some comfort to you or others, also experiencing heart- ache. MRS.

Brown, Overbrook Road, has retired as president and chief executive officer of Eberhard Faber, Inc., it was announced last week: He was employed by the com- pany for forty years, and will con- tinue as a director. Mr. Brown is succeeded by Eric Q. Bohlin, Bear Creek, who has been executive vice president since Sep- tember, 1961. The Dallas man joined Eberhard Faber in -1923 as first resident Canadian sales representative and rose through managerial posts of advertising and sales until he be- came vice-president in charge of sales in 1945. He then became ex- ecutive vice-president and a direc- tor in 1949 and was elected presi- dent in 1952. A native of Atlanta, Ga., who spent most of his life in New York, Mr. Brown and wife Lorena have been residents of Dallas since 1956, when his company relocated from Brooklyn, N. Y. to its world head- quarters plant in Mountaintop. He is a member of the Westmore- land Club, Irem Temple AAONMS, the Newcomen Society of North America, and is a director of Hos- pital Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

State reimbusements for Luzerne County schools total $26,157.43, ac- cording to County Superintendent Bugene 8S. Teter. For Letter Prom Try The Dallas Pest Better Leighton Never by Leighton Scott LONESOME ROAD Tomorrow bids open, hopefully or not, on the new highway. Energy expected to _be poured into the state project is supposed to sur- pass that put out by Pharaoh’s slave hordes dragging their wearies up some stony slopé with a boulder in each pocket. More than one local person, with knowledge of the building trade, has glanced over the list of contractors who bought the road-plans, and said that those companies would as soon bid to build on the bottom of the Sargasso Sea, once they envision all the obstacles. “How are they gonna keep the thing open to rush-hour traffic, with one lane for digging, one for trucking dirt, and one for people?” “7 talked to the foreman of (blank) Company, and he said they wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.” “They gotta buy a railroad first.” All this will come out in the wash in the next few days. Personally’ I've never heard of a highway that nobody wanted, but if there is such a thing, it’s bound to make the Huntley-Brinkley Show. One knowledgable construction man felt this way about it: The original unopposed Hazleton bidder should have been given the contract outright by the highway depart- ment. They should have counted themselves lucky to get anybody interested at the stated cost. It's going to cost any builder about a million dollars more than present | estimates, and the department ought to recognize a good thing when they see it. That, of course, is the cynic's viewpoint, and so it is extreme. But I haven't heard too many opti- mists talking up lately. WATCH WHERE YOURE GOING Traveling on back roads recently I have run into some potholes that made me want to get out and walk.’ But I dn’t get nearly so mad on the subject as some people, who have recently lost a new retread or broken a shock, many of whom, I might add, haven't even bothered to watch the road when they drive. I think its ridiculous to blame the road departments or supervisors every time some cowboy burning pure alcohol decides to pretend it hasn’t been a rough winter, ignores the inevitable road damage, and breaks an axle. There is such a thing as driving too fast for conditions. Conditions are such that there are now potholes, and worse, sinkholes, | in most local roads. The driver must compensfate for them. “Old Glory” at Pole 68, or as it is sometimes known, the Harveys Lake cha-cha-cha, is perhaps the worst one going, but it has reached such proportions that everyone knows dts there, and many bring a picnic lunch along when they come to see it. It is rumored that the government is going to build a state park around it. But driving around this weekend, I got a chance to look over condi- tions on other roads. They're al- most as bad. My suggestion is: Allow time to travel a chewed-up road. Why wait until your car is out of commission before you give thought to pot- holes? “| Mrs. Hosler Honored Mrs. Charles Hosler, Parrish Street, Dallas, was guest of honor '| at a birthday party, given by her neighbors, Monday afternoon.
