oy
By The Oldtimer
The following notes on the Civil
War are selected from actual sol-
diers letters, which give on the
spot accounts. The Battle of Spot-
sylvania was fought just 100 years
ago, May 8-19, 1864.
Nov. 13, 1862 Camp near Deals
Station, 8 miles south of Catletts
Station. We have been on the
march nearly every day and some
nights. We crossed the Potomac

Dec. 6, 1862. I am sitting in our
little tent size 5X6 and have got

all the time for ague and I have
a touch of the rheumatics. Our or-
ders ' for marching were counter-
manded perhaps on account of the
snow storm. We are about 6 miles
from Fredericksburg, Va.
Jan. 16, 1863. Army of the Po-
tomac, General Burnsides Hq. I got
the letter and the reseit - (receipt)
but the box I haven't got yet. I
need tobacco. There is none here
and if there was I have no money.
We think there will be another big
fight in a few days. We are all
ready for a fight if it is needed. I
don’t know how soon we will get
our pay. I am writing in John's

Rambling Around
— D. A. Waters
| month before his death, wrote down
and sent home the following song
in use on the southern side, tune
“Bonnie Blue Flag:” (Chorus omit-
ted.)
‘Oh yes, I am a Southern girl,
I glory in the name;
And boast it with far greater pride,
Than glittering wealth or fame.
I envy not the Northern girl
Her robe of beauty rare
Though diamonds grace her sunny
neck
And pearls bedeck her hair.
The homespun dress is plain, I know,
My hat’s palmetto, too,
But then it shows what Southern
girls
For Southern rights will do.
We've sent the bravest of our lads
To battle with the foe;
And we would lend a helping
hand—
We love the South you know.
Now Northern goods are out of
date.
And since Old Abe's blockade
We Southern girls will be content
With goods that’s Southern made.
We scorn to wear a bit of lace,
A bit of Northern silk,
But make our homespun dresses up
And wear them with much grace.
. We've sent our sweethearts to the
war,
But dear girl never mind,
Your soldier love will not forget
The girls he left behind.
A soldier lad is the lad for me,
A brave heart I adore.
And when the sunny South is free
And fighting is no more—
I'll choose one then, a lover brave
From out that glorious band,
The soldier lad I love the best
Shall have. my heart and hand.
And now young men, a word to
you,
If you would win the fair.
Go to the field where honor calls
And win your lady there.
Remember that our brightest smiles
‘Are for the true and brave,
And that our tears fall for the one
Who fills a soldier's grave.

their morning paper, a Wilkes-Barre

Pete Ambrose is incensed, to say
the least, after losing his German
Shepherd when it was run over by
Sunset, Harveys Lake, restaurant,
last week. According to Pete, the
bus driver never bothered to stop.
I saw something wild on my way

emergency brake apparently let
loose. The driver was down below

after parking it half on the road,
half off with a flat tire or some-

hill and caught it before it finished
its jackknife. You should've seen
his face.

Mobile Chest X-Ray Unit will be

House Restaurant, Dallas Acme
parking lot, Monday from 10 a.m.
te 4 p.m.
Wyoming Valley Tuberculosis and
Health Society's modern unit offers
annually an epportunity ta all resi-
dents of the area to get a chest
X-Ray for an extremely modest sum,
and with no delay, no time-con-
suming trip to town, no parking
problems.
Physicians agree that a chest
X-Ray once a year is a safe-guard,
and advise their patients to have it
done. At a hospital or private lab-
oratory, the procedure is expensive.
The T-B unit charges only for the
film.
On the board are a number of
Dallas area people. They include J.
F. Sallada, newly elected president;
Dr. Robert A. Mellman, superinten-
dent of Dallas schools; Rev. Robert.

search that extended over two
months. ]

Pillar To Pest...
By Hix
After publication of that tabloid last week, there is only one
thing left for Hix to do, and that is to paint the fence.
And ‘if there is any time left over, weed the garden.
Appearing in green ink, high on an extension ladder, is testi-
mony to the fact that some years ago she was able to get up there
and wield a dripping paint brush; but times have changed, and Hix,
at this point, stays off ladders.
It used to stop traffic.
The bus drivers changed their point for fare collection slightly,
in order to give the travelling public a good view of that old biddy
up under the eaves. The .0ld biddy should have known better.
It was a lot of fun. Perfect strangers leaned over-the fence
and made inquiry.
It took forever, especially around the window frames.
of the panes needed puttying, and that was a mess.
There was a willow tree alongside the back porch, and the willow
tree had those wretched little bugs on it that turn purple when
squashed. They kept brushing off into the paint, along with willow
twigs.
The willow tree is gone, praises be. The small bugs exuded a
sticky sort of a glop which attracted swarms of yellowjackets, and
the yellowjackets were always in a harried state of mind.
Taking down the willow tree left the kitchen porch naked to
the public, and a hasty planting of shrubbery was necessary.
The pink dogwood tree which looked so small when it was
first planted, has been moved twice, and the curving flagstone
moved to accommodate. It now looks as if it were espaliered on
the porch screen, and is reaching its branches up past the sleeping
porch, on its way to the moon.
The’ riot of blossoms from spring to fall in Pillar to Post's yard,
lives, regrettably, only in the imagination of Mrs. Anderson.
Now lookit, Dorothy: You've let me in for weeding that side
flowerbed, the one that got the well rotted manure spread on it
last weekend.
Never let it be said that Hix did not at least get A for effort
in living up to what is expected of her.
But Hix does not stand on her head as gracefully as she did
at the time when she was mounting ladders with aplomb (and
also with a bucket of paint), and weeding is one of those things
which requires deep bends.
There's also that mental crisis, ‘Ts that a weed, or a budding
bleeding heart ?
Some
‘Advise from somebody who can distinguish a weed from a
flower would be helpful at this point, and assistance from somebody
who can lean over to do a spot of weeding without getting dizzy.
Anyhow, the grass has been cut.
Jacobs was also responsible for the |
supervision of five counselors and
programming.
An active participant in many
campus organizations, Maggie is a
member of the Crimson Key Honor
Society - a service organization
working with the Administration.
She is also hall advisor and a mem-
ber of the women’s residence ex-
ecutive council and an orientation
leader for freshmen women. In this
capacity, Maggie is responsible for
both the academic and personal
welfare of the new students.
In athletics, Miss Jacobs has not
been on the sidelines. She is a mem-
ber of the intercollegiate basket-
ball team, volleyball and ski teams
and the university Badminton Team.
Not content just to participate in
university sports, Maggie also writes
about them, in her job as women’s
sports editor and columnist for the
university newspaper. Maggie has
maintained a B average throughout
her college career.
