| Editorially Speaking:
RED LIGHT FOR DANGER
House-cleaning time again . .. and with house-
cleaning time, comes danger to children.
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.

THE DALLAS rer THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1963
By The Oldtimer
The Delaware Indians, according
to Paul A. 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

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,

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”.

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.

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?
