Anderson Mi. Zion “I had a brief visit the other eve- ning from Brainerd Daniels of Kitchen Road, Mt. Zion. He is the “chairman of solicitations for the ‘Mt. Zion Auction coming up for Saturday, Sept. 7. He suggests that I mention the Auction every chance 1 get and to everyone I meet, so people will be calling him up to tell “him they have something to give for sale at the Auction. Antiques, "odds and ends, house plants, books. Well, I expect to be con- . tacting 98 people twice each week “up at Valley Crest. I might begin there. I know some who would like to get rid of arthritis; others wish they could give some of their too-many birthdays.’ Maybe those ~ things would mot sell too well, but people at an auction could sure use some of the smiles those folks give i me!

ADVERTISED IN LESH went from Valley Crest to live in a foster home with Mrs. Hawley over at Lehman (R. D. 4, Dallas). Her name is Mrs. Ida Askew and she’s a fine Christian woman. Any of you folks over that way might drop in and visit her. She's good to talk with. We lost a patient by death, from the Back Mountain area last week, Mrs. Emma ‘Gensel, One time when I was visiting her she asked me to sing, I think it was “The Old Rugged Cross,” one verse of which I sang. Then she said, “Sing that verse over again!” And I did. I like to think that mow she knows the whole gospel story amd what it does for people. She must know, for she is on the other side of that story now. Now I don’t want.-people writing in to The Dallas Post and saying, “Doesn’t Gilbert know anything else ‘than what Valley Crest is doing ?” But there's a 92 year old lady up there who is bright as a dollar and always writing letters who reads the Dallas Post which seems to get around those halls. She said to me the other day, “Well, I see the Ralph Hazeltines were visiting you. They are rela- tives of mine.” She told me she cut out the article to send to some: cousin of hers and theirs. This is Mrs. Elizabeth Tompkins, member of Wilkes-Barre’s First Methodist Church. We had a couple of pleasant visitors from Carverton last week. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Prynn. Naomi had talked with Catherine about flowers and brought her over a big bunch of different roots. One of them was a coral bell, a tiny little stalk of red bells growing up from a low spreading plant. So Catherine took Dick and Naomi on a tour of the grounds, amd then back to the front porch for a visit. Naomi tells me that the people involved in the Slocum Park project are now out of their homes and building new ones, some of them nearby to the project. Also she tells me that the pipe line builders are hard at work laying pipes to avoid the Park grounds. This involves the cutting of a number of trees and the port- able power saws begin their buzz- wuzzes early in the morning. She said her mephew’s family, Mr. and Mrs. William Mann and son Bill (the same age as Prynn’s Dale) have been visiting them a few days. They are from Hartford, Conn. While Dick and Naomi swung gent- ly in our porch swing they told about how Dick gets great relaxa- tion through music. They have an electric chord organ and Dick plays by the hour. It's a great thing to be able to play one’s own music. There’s therapeutic value in it for the merves, I have a pfiffle-flute (recorder) but Tuffy says it’s the worst thing for a dog’s nerves that was ever invented! When the Prynns left they had a box of roots from Catherine’s garden and Cathy had a bunch from Naomi’s. Mr. and Mrs. Roger Whitley and daughters, Sarah and Alison from Boston have been spending a week with Mrs. Whitley’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Lewis. When I got home from Mrs. Gen- sel’s funeral last Saturday my folks had had word that B. E. Smith had died in his sleep that morning. How clearly the service of B. E. Smith |- stands out in the history of Mt. Zion Church! In my day he was one of the dependables of the com- munity. His presence was always to be relied on, his counsel was sought for its value. B. E. Smith had a sense of humor accompanied by a merry twinkle in his eye. You couldn’t help liking him. I never did know—and don’t now—what his initials: stood for, he was al- ways known simply as B. E. Smith. But we knew the righteousness, the sturdy character that B. E. Smith stood for. His late wife was also Idetown Rev. and Mrs. David Haimes and children Barbara and Virginia and David Jr. and Linda of Emerson, N. J. are spending their vacatiom at ‘the home of the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hoover. On Sunday the Hoovers gave a birthday | dinner in honor of David Jr's third birthday.

Rev. and Mrs. David Haines with Virginia and Barbara visited some friends in Philadelphia, Phoenix- ville, and Lancaster. They also visited Mr. and Mrs. Alden Wagner and sons, Paul, Mark and Mrs. Harry Ide. Glad to report that Mrs. Ide is much improved.

It was called, “Make room for me”. She sang it in a sweet clear voice. Mrs. A. J. McColloch has re- turned to her home in Scranton Methodist. Home after spending a week with Mr. and Mrs. William Drabick. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Lamoreaux and daughter, Carolann and friend, Marylou Hunt traveled to Virginia to many historical places, and en- joyed it very much. Many folks in Lehman remember Mrs, Abbott, Rev. Abbott's wife and will be glad to kmow that she is improving, and well enough to ‘attend some of their church serv- ices, and work a bit in their garden. The rose bud this morning im the Methodist church is in honor of the new arrival of the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Traver born August 17th, Her mame is Lisa Marie. W.C.T.U. ENTERTAIN The W.CT.U. was entertained recently in the Methodist church. Mrs. Russell Hoover presided. Mrs. Edith Hoover gave the program, Herbert and Mrs. one of the dependables in my day. How the church and other worth- while orgamizations learn to value people they can rely on. Now there are many descendants of B. E. Smith and his wife who are carry- ing on a notable tradition of citizemship for which our com- munity and the world beyond our hills are richer.
