A GENIAL SERVICE MAN DIES
Oscar Searfoss of West Pittston
has shovelled a lot of coal into Mt.
Zion bins from trucks bearing the
name of John Dickinson. He worked
for and with Dickinson for 37 years.
The community was shocked to
learn that last Friday Oscar had
died after but a few hours in the:
hospital. He was a faithful worker
in the West Pittston Congregational
church and last Wednesday had |
done his part at the occasion honor-
ing the incoming and outgoing min- |
isters of that church. Next day he
was taken sick and died on Friday.
He will be greatly missed by his
two daughters, his church, the John |
Dickinson family and the whole
community.
DALLAS POST GETS AROUND!
Last Sunday morning I preached
at the Dorranceton Methodist
Church. After service a lady told |
me, “I always read your column in
The Dallas Post”. And at night I
was guest preacher at the vesper
service on the Wyoming Camp
Ground. A Mr. Morris of Kingston ,
introduced me as “Chaplain of Val-|
ley Crest, and a writer for The Dal- |
las Post.” Well, well!

all. When I went over to Joe and |
Freda Perry’s for some honey id

few days.
VALLEY CREST
The former editor of Valley Crest
News, the monthly paper gotten out
by and for the Valley Crest guests,
Mr. Larry Hummel is now living in
a foster home over at Arnold
Wright's on R. D. 2 Tunkhannock.
Larry was formerly from the Dallas
area until his automobile accident
which left him pretty much a crip-
ple -- excepting his head, which
works all right. I've missed Larry
from his ever-present wheel chair
but the other day he called me up
for a chat by phone. I don’t know
what Larry will do for pastime
without his research for poems,
prayers, funny lines, personal in-
terest write-ups, birthdays et cetera.
sitting on my stomach. I think I'll
never hear the last of that one!
And one day while walking along
the hall Larry and I suddenly fell
into. a duet together, purely acci-
dental but in harmony. Guess it
was “In the Garden”. One of his
favorite jokes was, “Why does the
Chaplain walk on his heels?” “To
save soles (souls)!”
‘OUR COUNTY HAS SOMETHING
Some of you tax-payers ought to |
make a visit to Valley Crest some- |
time to see what people from other |
parts of Pennsylvania are coming
miles to inspect as an uptodate in-
stitution to pattern after. Mr. Stauf-
fer, the administrator, tells me that
Mr. Raymond J. Groller, superin-
endent of Riverview, Philadelphia
County’s Hame, and Mr. Don Boet-
tger, administrator of Lycock View,
the Lycoming County Home, have
been recent interested visitors. Peo-
ple from the Lancaster County
Home who visited recently were
the chairman of the county com-
missioners, the superintendent of
the Home, and an architect with a
view to evaluating Valley Crest’s
plant and facilities for future plan-
ning references.
Valley Crest is facing up to the
problem of the ageing, with a back-
ground of knowledge of the science
called geriatrics. They are doing a
whale of a job of rehabilitation with
younger people who have various
types of injuries. I think there
should be a lot of study by younger
people on how to get ready for the
ageing process. Or something. We
get used to being children and know
something about it; we are young
for quite awhile; long enough to
! know better, but then by little and
little, we are ‘senior citizens”
“golden agers’, or plain old folks
and find we aren't ready for it.
Want me to write a thick book?
When I have driven by the new
| Free Methodist church it at first
seemed too bad that unsightly
should be right there almost in the
new
church. Right by "the driveway.
Then I was shocked at myself for
seeing the cluster of poles as some-
thing ugly. In truth it is a part
of a power and light system quite

indispensable to the community.
More than that it is a symbol of
the church itself which ig a distri-
buting center of spiritual light and
power in a community which
greatly needs it. For the Church is
of God, and human, as it certainly
is, there is still an emphasis on the
unseen, the enduring, the everlast-
ing. Worldly things, beautiful, ar-
tistic, colorful, attractive and neces-
sary are battering on. our senses
all the time and we need the aware-
ness of the unseen realities. We
get that from the Church. The
power line in whatever form it
takes can symbolize — if we will
see it — the power which God
makes available for us.
BACK TO CHURCH
Last Sunday I had no preaching
date. So Ruth and I sat together
in Mt. Zion church. Cathy had to
sit further front where her chil-
dren’s choir could see her, for they
were singing the special music last
Sunday. They did beautifully too.
The choir consisted of Laurie Spen-
cer, Annie Dwyer, Linda Lewis and
Janice King. It was also a service
of baptism for Letha Ann Morris.
It seemed good to meet so many
of Mt. Zion friends at church again.
CALLERS
Our friend Rev. Ralph Weatherly
was over for a few minutes while
he brought us some more literature.
He and hig wife had the pleasure
of a visit from their son Rev. Theo-
dore ‘Weatherly and wife and chil-
dren. - Such a visit is always a
bright spot for them.
From West Pittston last Saturday
came a friend of ours, Miss Chris-
tine Banks. She went with Cath-
erine .to her first experience at the
| Library Auction and had a wonder-
ful time. From the auction tele-
phone (which occupies a quiet (!)
corner of the auction grounds)
Cathy. called us up to say she had
bought a book case and wouldn't
I like to come over before dark to
get it. I would and did. Larry
Earl and Sam Davenport carried the
purchase from the back yard to the

On. Sunday we had some more
visitol's from West Pittston, Mrs.
Richard - Howell and little daugh-
ter Renee (one of the little friends
of my former Twinkling, Twinsies |
story . characters) ~ and also Miss
Edna Barnhart’ the present organist
of the West Pittston Congregational
church. Edna came to arrange
with : Catherine about being guest
soloist at the Mt. Zion church next
Sunday at our 9 o'clock service
