They Have A
Right To Run
There are so many appeals for help, all of them
worthy, all of them hard to resist. ?
Nobody can give heed to all of them.
But the appeal for Crippled Children is one which it
is impossible to ignore.
Children have a right to run and skip and jump in
the spring sunshine.
They have a right to go splashing
through puddles in red rubber boots. They have a right
to climb trees.
their
It wrings the heart to see children who must drag
feet; children who cannot coordinate their muscles;
children to whom every step is a deliberate challenge in
balance.
The strides that have been made even in the past
few years, in training sufferers from cerebral palsy to
walk without staggering, to take their place among nor-
mal children without suffering embarrassment, have been
phenomenal.
. Much of the progress has been due to efforts of the
Crippled Children’s Association. E
It all costs money.
But who wouldn't contribute to a fund which helps
a handicapped child to stand erect, to play with other
children on their own terms,

Lawn - A - Mat
Comes To Area
Excellent care and maintenance
of a lovely lawn will be yours this
summer with the introduction of
Lawn-A-Mat to this community.
The franchise for the above serv-
ice, which rids your yards of un-
sightly crab grass and other fungi,
has been purchased by Michael
Kravitsky, Jr., 227 Jackson Street,
Edwardsville.
In a few weeks, the unique Lawn-
A-Mat mechanical gardener towed
by a small tractor, will be a familiar
sight ‘rolling across the lawhs in
this area.
As it slowly cruises along) a
myrriad of gears, finely calibrated
rollers, cams and shafts, automati-
cally dispense precise amounts of
fertilization, seeds, crabgrass killers,
fungicides and insecticides. At the
same time the turf is rolled and
pampered by other arms.
Mr. Kravitsky, who recently
underwent a training and instruc-
tion period at the company’s head-
quarters, believes that the amazing
popularity of Lawn-A-Mat in other
areas is due to a trend away from
do-it-yourselfism.
Dr. Vitale Pleases

kes-Barre, and medical advisor of
the Children’s Psychological Center,
Lackawanna County, urged that
children should be praised for the
good things they ‘do and receive
more understanding from their
parents to ease emotional problems.

Better Leighton Never
Like Farm Stuff?
If you're interested in farm ma-
chinery pertaining to farming, the
place to go this weekend is Charles
Long’s annual auction in Sweet Val-
ley. His yards are loaded with an
amazing assortment of used ma-
chinery, as well as new, all of which
must go Saturday, because Mr. Long
has maintained a famous policy of
refusing to sell on the Sabbath. If
the air is nippy and snowy, as it
was last year, you can retreat in-
side for lan interval of hot soup,
coffee, homemade pie and what-
have-you. A highly recommended
event.
Incidentally, Wayne Weaver Jr.
is running a similar auction in Cen-
termoreland in ia couple weeks.
Seen and Heard
Overheard: a judge has informed
state police that the “no passing’
rule on Memorial Highway should
be enforced strictly only below Duke
Isaacs’.
The Coal Ped:Hars
Every year, a strange phenome-
non occurs in this area: Transient
coal-peddlars from Shamokin wheel
and deal in the Back Mountain area.
Apparently the demand in this coun-
ty, the coal capital of the state, is
larger than the supply, because they
sell their loads. ”
If they don’t sell them, they leave
their big semi-rigs in Wilkes-Barre,
took a bus back to Shamokin, and
come up again the next day.
Prices vary, according to the wea-
ther. The ones I met last week at
the Lake were having a tough time
getting rid of their coal, which was
stove-size and not much needed any-
way, what with 60 degree tempera-
tures outside. To add to the prob-
lem, the ground was so muddy from
the quick thaw,that they couldn't
get their truck into many driveways.
To make a quick profit, the coal-
peddlars must know a likely pro-
spect in advance, and should be able
to sell off in large lots, so they don’t
spend valuable time cruising around
with a ton or two to get rid of.
One would have to be an unusual
breed of man to try to make a liv-
ing that way, I would think. My
friends were sort of basic and care-
free (one sported a goatee) and
were still casting an eagle eye a-
round at 10 in the evening for a
buyer. “It won't hurt to try”, seem-
ed the prevailing attitude.
I understand that quite a few
of these peddlars sell in this area
successfully and also around Wilkes-
Barre, where you'd think there
would be enough coal already. In
buying from them, it would seem
to be a good idea to have a healthy
regard for the laissez-faire spirit on
which America grew great: ie.,
know what a ton of coal looks like.
On the other hand, I don’t know
that our civilization has progressed
to such an advanced state that it's
unnecessary to know a ton of coal
when you lay money out for it.

You can lead a horse to water
but you can’t make him drink.
This old saying is brought to.mind
by the relatively new movement to
relieve unemployment by sending
boys and girls to school longer at
public expense. Secretary Wirtz in
a recent speech said that 3,500,000
teenagers holding or hunting jobs
should not be in the labor force at
all: He thinks about two million
should still be in school, on an ad-
vanced basis, the secretary apparent-
ly has fallen in with the recommen-
dations of the Educational Policies
Commission of the Nationa] Educa-
tion and the American Association
of School ‘Administrators.
Present child labor laws were or-
iginally passed to correct abuses in
industries, where children, even very
young ones, worked excessive hours
in unhealtful conditions. But the
worst times were over a hundred
and twenty-five years ago. Do good-
ers keep bringing them up over and
over as if they were recent. Now
we have such excessive regulation
that working at all for anyone un-
der twenty-one is the exception ra-
ther than the rule. In some indup-
tries and trades, unions frown wup-
on taking on' youngsters in order
to keep their crafts selective and
working longer hours.
We seem to have arrived at the
point where every child entering
high school is immediately consid-
ered a problem child in one of three
categories: first, he may drop out;
secondly, he may slide along on the
dine of least resistance with easy
courses and much fun; and third,
he may really study and plan to at-
tend college.
The dropouts furnish many, but
not all of the juvenile delinquents.
With the second group of easy go-
ing they make up a lot of the un-
employed. The last group form a
different problem as they are in-
creasing even faster than the pop-
ulation increase and threaten to
flood the colleges. The rapidly
changing times make increased edu-
cation almost mandatory and pro-
fessionals estimate that a major-
ity of all high school graduates will
require additional training within
a few years. ?
The Educational Policies Commis-
sion has come out with a proposal
that public school training be made
two years longer, without selectiv-
ity, and without charge, as a mat-
ter of right. They assume that re-
movai of all barriers to two years
of college training will immediately
create in youngsters, many of whom
never had it before, an intense de-
sire to learn. But the present day
colleges promptly throw out loafers
and drones after a year or even a
semester. A guaranteed two year
course would not even permit this.
Perhaps the pupils would have to be

spoon-fed to keep them in school.
Two year colleges, even public
ones, are not new. New York City
has about four, but their students
are chosen selectively, not whole-
sale. California takes almost any
high school graduate in a junior
college near his home. They have
seventy-one such junior colleges.
Many of the courses are ‘described
as bread-and-butter courses, voca-
tional and otherwise. These are not
time-killing busy work, but strong
technical training for automation.
According to a recent release by
the County Superintendent 24 per-
cent of the 1963 graduates of public
high schools went, to college. An ad-
ditional 22 percent entered other
schools such as vocational, technical,
business, nursing, etc., some of
which may not have been for long
terms. About 33 per cent went to
work or in apprentice training. The
armed service took about 11 ‘per
cent. These categories account for
all but about 10 percent, most of
whom were shown at home. Our
own district showed a very high |
rate of graduates in college, 38 per
cent. 3
It takes something besides a free
ticket to put a student through
college. Many children of the weal-
thy turn out to be failures. ‘At pre-
sent many student aids such ap
scholarships are available.
Of course, there is no question
that present colleges are hard put
to keep up with expanding enroll-
ment. They could not accomodate
anywhere near all the high school
graduates. This would require a lot
of additional two-year colleges in
most areas, which in the end might
relieve some of the excessive en-
rollment in existing colleges.
There might be an effort in some
areas to simply add two more years
to existing schools, making a kind
of junior college in doing so. This
might simplify transportation and
dormitory problems. What it would
do to local taxes is something else.
At present there is supposed to
be an acute shortage of trained
teachers at all levels, especially in
colleges where enrollment is in-
creasing by leaps and bounds. Pro-
ponents of the new plan are con-
spicuously silent as to where they
intend to get enough teachers to
add two mare years of effective col-
lege grade work. But the profes-
sional associations are not blind to
the fact that increasing the teach-
ing force in public schools by maybe
fifteen to twenty percent is pure to
make a lot of very good jobs for
someone, and therefore all for it.
But making free college education
for everyone at public expense still
looks like the wrong approach. “You
can lead a horse to water but you
can’t make him drink.”

Most of our beaver dams are lo-
cated on game land No. 57. There
are so many beaver dams that
Pennsylvania State Game Commis-
sion officers could not give any
estimate of the total number of
dams around the. region.
Beaver season began February 15,
1964 at 7:00 AM. and will close on
March 16, 1964 at 12:00 noon.
Trappers may take as many as
six beavers in the counties of Brad-
ford, Lackawanna, Monroe, Pike,
Sullivan, Susquehanna, Tioga,
Wayne and Wyoming. The season
limit in all other counties in the
state is three. A trapper may take
three beaver in a county where the
limit is three and then take an
additional three beaver in a county
where the limit is six.. Under no
conditions may a trapper take more
than a total of six beaver.
The pelts are sold to fur buyers
at a fur auctjon held up at Sullivan
county. Pelts are sold for as much
as $10.00 or $20.00 apiece. They
are used for clothing.
Beaver population is high in this
division. During the 1963 season,
beaver trappers in the northeast
trapped 964 animals. Luzerne coun-
ty ‘trapped 73. State-wide total
was 1,881. This year’s totals will

For some time, area trappers

Beaver trapping is a difficult and
hazardous pastime. Since many of
the dams are in remote areas on
State Game Lands, it is often neces-
sary for the trapper to walk con-
siderable distance to tend his trap
line. When deep snow is present,
snowshoes are a must. At times,
