Editorially Speaking
Chickens Come Home To Roost
Every once in awhile a telephone subscriber refuses
to release a line so that an emergency call can go through.
Perhaps this leads to nightmares in the days after
a fire, but nightmares do not undo the damage.
: We recall one incident many years ago, when a
house burned to the ground because the woman who was
trying to reach the fire department was brushed off with
a, “You can just wait until I'm through talking, and I
don’t believe you've got a fire anyhow. GET OFF THE
LINE.”
Printed clearly in the front of the telephone book
is this message:
“Any person who wilfully refuses to relinquish im-
mediately a party line when informed that it is needed
for an emergency call to a fire department, a police de-
partment, or for medical aid or ambulance service, is
guilty of an offense, and is subject to a fine or imprison-
ment or both. It is also an offense, subject to the same
penalties, to obtain the use of a party line by falsely stat-
ing that it is needed for such an emergency call.”
The penalty should have more teeth in it. A fine of
$50 is small retribution for actions leading to the loss
of a human life or the destruction of a home by fire.
You will have to trust your neighbors not to break
in on a phone call unless the need is urgent. There are
those who will do exactly that.
But far better to hang up in the middle of a conver-
sation than to have it on your conscience that five ad-
ditional minutes MIGHT have rushed oxygen to a man
gasping with a heart attack.
' HANG UP IMMEDIATELY.
And if your neighbor is playing you for a sucker,
that’s just too bad... for him.
Because chickens have a nasty way of coming home
to roost.

| Sidler Regrets Passing
Of Blue Ridge Chapter
With elimination of the Vocat-
ional Agricultural program at Lake-
Lehman, John Sidler is now enabled
to spend the entire four weeks of
the workshop at Wisconsin State
University, instead of the expect-
ed three weeks.
He and his wife left Wednesday
for River Falls, expecting to return
after the institute’ by way of Can-
ada, taking in Niagara Falls.
Last year Mr. Sidler was not el-
igible for the Institute. This year,
having taught classes in Science and
mathematics, he could get a grant
from the National Science Foun-
dation of enough to live on dur-
ing the four weeks, with tuition
thrown in.
Mr. Sidler regrets the passing of
the Blue Ridge FFA, which he set
in motion in 1939. No agricultural
program, spells no Future Farmers
of America in this area.
He remembers with pleasure that

DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA
From—
Pillar To Post... |
The up and coming generation that goes in for contact lenses
probably is accustomed to the hazards, and willing to make adjust-
ments.
Almost everybody, at some time recently, has seen a frantically
groping figure, down on its hands and knees, in the midst of a shop-
ping crowd, trying to locate a lens.
And there's that girl who called up in great distress one day,
to report that she had swallowed her contact lenses. What to do,
what to do? 4
“Let nature take its course,” was the obvious reply, but it seeme
a bit unsympathetic, considering the length and breadth of the
modern tragedy.
“How d you happen to do it?” seemed a safe substitute for
sage advice. : :
“Well, I had them in a glass of water on my night table, and
I got thirsty in the night.”
So, it's OK, as said before, for the rising generation. If the
tribal rites include such ceremonies as. exchanging of contact lenses
to sign and seal a lasting friendship, it's just a sign of the times.
But what I want to know is this: What do you do, if you are
firmly wedded to glasses of a utilitarian character, remove them to
rub your eyes, and all of a sudden find you have a lens in your hand ?
There’s that tiny perfect circle of transparency looking up. at
you. It is exactly the size of the pupil of your eye. You transfer it
with caution to a bit of paper, and view, it. with ‘a magnifying glass.
Unblemished. - Not a trace of anything except. crystal.
So, you go off and look fearfully, in the mirror. Could it be,
could it be ? 7 0 is pk
The mirror is reassuring. You look exactly as usual, a bit frayed
around the edges, but ‘still holding out nobly after your fashion.
No holes in the eyes. They gleam back at you with that quiz-
zical expression which has become alstock. in trade.
So, where did that lens come from?" ° :
“Dummy,” you say to yourself, “what did you eat for supper,
and where did you eat it?” ;
That's what you get for enjoying your annual binge of pickled
herring (in cream sauce) on a tray in front of a favorite T-V show.
The transparent circle, viewed now from a different angle, ig
obviously a scale from a pickled herring.
Or is it?
