Editorially Speaking
THERE ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER
There are people in the world who are hungry. People
who go to bed each night, millions of them throughout
the world, knowing that the brief surcease of sleep will
free them from the pangs of hunger only momentarily.
People who will wake up in the middle of the night,
still hungry, still hopeless that tomorrow will bring any-
thing better.
This seems incredible to the people in these United
States.
We do not know what hunger is. :
We do not know what the desolation of war can
bring to a suffering people.
We have riches beyond the dreams of avarice of
some of these people who nightly shelter themselvs in
what poor coverings they can find, watching their children
slowly starve to death.
a The poorest of our people are richer than these suf-
fering waifs, hopelessly and helplessly battling against
overwhelming odds.
The three great major faiths are struggling to allevi-
ate the misery of the world, small voices crying in the
wilderness, but nonetheless crying, and in great need of
being heard. :
Do not close your ears to the appeal.
If you are a Catholic, make your contribution, and
make it thankfully, through the Bishop’s Thanksgiving
Clothing Collection—many people are never warm enough.
If you are a Protestant, make it through the Share
Our Substance Program. And again, share with the
thankfulness that you are warm, and that you have
enough to eat.
If you are Jewish, you have a marvelous organiza-
tion, The United Jewish Appeal. Be generous. You live
in a country where you are not crushed under the heel
of a cruel dictator. Help others to live.
Thanksgiving should be a living thing, not just a day
on the calendar.
WHEEL-CHAIRS STILL ROLLING
The Dallas Post cannot permit the passing of Mrs.
Paul Bedford to go unmarked, for though Mrs. Bedford
did not belong to the Back Mountain in person, in a
larger sense she belonged to all of Pennsylvania.
It was Mrs. Bedford who set in motion the Wheel-
Chair Club, an organization which has spread not only
to all of Pennsylvania, but to all over the country, and
in more recent years, has penetrated even behind the
Iron Curtain. :
At the time of her death, 600 chairs were in use,
some in Iran, sonie in the Philippines.
Many a bedfast invalid took a new lease on life when
provided with wheels, and the burden of caring for the
sick was lightened in many a household.
Seldom was a wheelchair left idle. The minute it
was returned as no longer needed, it was repaired and
sent forth again.
: Mrs. Bedford had the means to further her own
charities. To her, it was, an engrossing work, making
life more bearable for the Shut-Ins.
Many people start a favorite project, then drop it
when it becomes burdensome, but not Mrs. Bedford.
It was not until fatal illness was upon her that she
dropped the reins, placing them securely in good hands,
that of the Kiwanis Club.
Wheel-chairs will
keep on rolling, in memory of
Mrs. Bedford. : inh ay
OVERLOADED DOCTORS
: Most doctors around the Back Mountain agree that
if the Medicare Bill passes, the volume of paperwork will
be so great that they will have no time to attend their
patients.
The required paper work in insurance cases already
takes up what small spare time they have.
Heaven help the general practitioner. He is already
overloaded. oe %
And in spite of shrieks from the metropolitan press,
he is far from disappearing. He's doing fine out here
in the Back Mountain.

FIRST ANNIVERSARY
OF ASSASSINATION
OF THE PRESIDENT
Sunday was the first anni-
versary of the assassination of
the President of the United
States.
It was observed in a day-
long program in television, in a
succession of ceremonials con-
ducted at the grave-site in Ar-
lington Cemetery, in the news
media . . . and in the heart of
every citizen of the United J
States.
Because a part of every citi-
zen died a year ago when the
solemn words were intoned
over the air waves.
Citizens who had clung to the
radio as if their lives, as well
as that of the President de-
pended upon it, knew instantly
that it was indeed a matter of
history, when the measured
words of the announcer began:
John . Fitzgerald . . .
Kennedy.

THE LEAF

| of leaves on either side of Page

All of a sudden a leaf vacuum truck
| appeared up on the hill and I warn-
ed the other leaves. I was hoping |
a gust of wind would blow us all |
| out of the street and into the near-
est yard, but it did not happen. |
Then the truck turned into the |
next street down the road, what a |
break! I thought for a moment, |
but it just came back down Page |
Road and it would be frightening, |
| for all the leaves, including me, |
| would be sucked ‘into the vacuum |
| truck to be ‘burned, and I would |

| but it was no use. {

could.

A roast turkey, crisply browned and flanked by cranberry sauce,
isn’t quite the treat it used to be, when turkey was synonymous
with Thanksgiving and seldom seen at other seasons of the year.
These days, the chain stores offer turkey at almost any season,
and the Thanksgiving turkey, though it forms the focal point of the
Feast of the Year, has had a little of its gloss removed by turkey
at Christmas, turkey at Easter, Turkey on the Fourth of July, and
for wedding anniversaries.
But it would still be a sacrilege to serve anything else on the
last Thursday in November.
With stuffing of course, and hot biscuits and gravy, and cole-
slaw, and mashed potatoes, and crisp stuffed celery. Topped off,
naturally, with pumpkin pie.
The pumpkin pie goes in our family until later on in the after-
noon, when the overstuffed sensation accompanying a Thanksgiving
dinner has somewhat dissipated, and it is possible to take aboard
more groceries.
One may be forgiven for being a glutton one day out of the year.
This year, for the first time in almost fifty years, somebody else
is going to roast the turkey, and it will seem very odd not to have
tall grandchildren prowling the kitchen, waiting for a sight of the
browning bird, and a bootleg hot biscuit, drenched with butter.
But is is far easier for one person to transport herself to Vir-
ginia, than for a carload to transport itself to Dallas.
Add to that, the fact that one half of the twin.combination is
singing Thanksgiving morning at the service in the Cathedral choir
in’ Washington, and rehearsing for Sunday services Friday evening,
and you can see how limited the time would be for a family get-
together.
Better far to abandon tradition and catch a bus for Virginia.
Friends and well-wishers have been so adamant at my driving
the 235 miles so soon after getting out of the hospital, that it has
seemed best to accede to their wishes, and let the Greyhound driver
do his stuff while I go into a comfortable coma.
It is a nuisance not to have a car at instant service. And it
will mean that somebody will have to drive me to Wilkes-Barre,
and somebody meet me in Washington, but that is the price for
the trip this Thanksgiving. :
For one who feels absolutely naked without a car, this is a
serious matter.
Could be it would be easier just to stay home and open a can
of soup.
But on the other hand . . .
The best way to do is just play the cards as they are dealt.
And something tells me that I will be on a bus for Washington,
well in advance of roast turkey.
