Editorially Speaking It Will Never Be The Same It was characteristic of Mrs. Antoinette Mason that she should wait until the close of the school year to an- nounce her resignation. Mrs. Mason did not want a fan- fare of trumpets to herald her leaving the second grade room at Dallas Borough School. Instead of waiting for next June, when she would ‘have normally retired under school department mandated regulations, she chose to retire now. The second grade at Dallas will not be the same. So few teachers, no matter how dedicated, have the know-how to make of the small happenings in the animal world, a living, breathing, drama of everyday life. She lured birds to her feeders. She took her pupils on wintry walks, pointing out to them the triangular foot- tracks of a pheasant, the characteristic marks of a hop- ping rabbit. Here, he sat. And here, something had frightened him, and the prints showed a burst of speed, heading for a brushpile in which he could laugh at the pursuing dog. She assigned small compositions. “Think of your- self as a worm. Think of yourself as a skunk. Think of yourself as a cardinal. Think of yourself as a chickadee, cracking a sunflower seed, holding it between your claws.” Not soon will somebody at the Dallas Post forget a composition which began, “I am a worm.” Parents knew that with Mrs. Mason a child would develop a sense of the world around him, and that the world would be beautiful. This sort of teaching is something which grows over the years, developing, broadening, becoming richer with every season, as it transmits to the children an under- standing of small and helpless things, and instills in them a sense of protection.. Mrs. Mason is one of the nicest things that has ever happened to Dallas. This Is The Month For Late] : The laurel has never been more beautiful than dur- ing this month of June. Enjoy it while it lasts. Most of it is in full flower, but there are still bushes which are merely in bud, in some of the higher locations. Along tke roadsides, where there is more sunshine, it starts to flower earlier then it does in the denser shade of the woodlands. : Rhododendrons are lovelier than usual this year, with many yards showing startlingly colorful bushes. Perhaps a fine lilac year means also a good rhododendron and laure] year. Laurel is a protected flower in Pennsylvania, as dog- wood is in Virginia. Transplant a bush from a rocky pasture land to your front yard, and you have broken a law. But there is nothing to prevent a landowner from grubbing out all the laurel and burning the roots, if he wishes to do so. This is one of those anomolies which people find it hard to understand. There was once a perfectly beautiful stand of the deepest pink laurel out beyond Alderson, more deeply hued than any other laurel, a stand which drew people from miles around to view. It is gone, and the area is ‘the poorer for its going. That sort of beauty should be preserved for posterity, a heritage for coming generations. With the encroachment of housing developments and junk car lots, the felling of stately trees to widen highways, and the carelessness of the average smoker in starting forest fires, we stand to lose one of our richest possessions, the beauty of the unspoiled countryside. : Enjoy the laurel while it is here to enjoy. Don’t pick it. It is not at home, wilting in a vase in the living room. It belongs among its rocks on its native hillside, where its branches will put forth blossoms again next year.

So far, while the Executive Asso- | ciation, spearheaded by the Pro- tective Association, local builders and real estate men, and other in- vanced their cause, even with an unannounced membership campaign, to help boost the “borough,” the opposition has been feeble. Township ~ governments, Lake and Lehman, border on the Lake, have been ac- cused of lack of interest in the sewage problem, which of course is ridiculous. Nobody could sit around the Lake and watch thousands of dollars of potential tourist money namely in one way or another. ‘Rather, it might be said that the year-rounders are interested in seeing problem cleared up through individual disposal units.
