The guest of his aunt and nie and son Billy, took off early see DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA Shavertown FEW FLAGS The death of President Kennedy by the hind of a disgruntled indi- vidual stunned each and everyone of us, irrespective of political af- filiation. It would have been interesting to watch how much could have been accomplished by an inteilectual such as he. It was most certainly a great waste of a useful life. One could not help but admire hs devotion to family, his fidelity to Nis Mzker and his dauntless cour- age. I keep remembering thz last picture I saw of him seated along- side his little son and gazing with fatherly pride upon the little one who had become his shadow. This is perhaps the greatest loss and it is his children who have been deprived of his companionship and his gui- dance, I have seldom seen the streets of the town so empty as they were the day of his funeral, yet agree wholeheartedly with George Wolle, Shaver Avenue, himself a veteran of World War II. who was shocked that so few residents displayed their flags on that day. We could have paid more respect indeed to the AT PRESIDENTS GRAVE Thomas Edwards, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Edwards, Perrin Aver- ue, had a memorable Thanksgiving uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Wil- liams, Annandale, Va., he visited the grave of martyred president John F. Kennedy and viewed the panor- ama of Arlington Cemetery from the porch of the Custis-Lee home. ‘Washington was thronged by thousands, Tom reports, but he mAdaged to include a visit to the Capitol, the White House, Smith- sonian Institute and Lincoln Mem- orial into the few days he spent there, MISSES AMERICA Ross Walker, former Rotary Ex- change Student from Australia, was one who really missed the Thanks- giving celebration ‘this year. He had his first taste of American tradi- tion last year and found it much to his liking, Ross plans to return to this couns try in the summer and is anxiously awaiting the time of departure for Shavertown and a certain nice young lady who awaits him.
