Editorially Speaking Back Mountani Or Back Woods? There is still time to get your ballot signed, and returned to the Commonwealth Telephone Company, if you want remission of toll charges in Noxen “and Lake Townships, with toll-free calling to the Valley. If it couldn’t mean less to you, to take this step to- ward progress of the area, don’t bother to send in a vote. Non-voters will be counted as voting against the proposal. Save your stamp. If you honestly believe that the Back Mountain is not a part of the Greater Wyoming Valley, sit tight, and do nothing. Many residents of your townships were highly in- censed two years ago when Dallas, Trucksville, and Shavertown obtained toll-free telephoning to Wilkes- Barre. They asked, and with due cause, why their area was not included. : The reasons were many. Commonwealth was faced with heavy installation of facilities, to connect Back Mountain residents with so many more telephones. The expansion has to be done in steps. If you have no friends in the Valley, never have need of telephoning the stores in the Valley, never need to send a telegram or make a bus reservation, you have a valid point in not voting for the change-over. Your basic rate will rise a little if the measure goes through. Folks who had become accustomed to cranking a handle for the operator, or later to lifting the receiver and asking the operator for a number, were very leary second-class matter at the post office at Dallas, from home $3.00 a term; Out-of- J of the new dial system.

The Library Auction Every once in awhile, somebody asks, “What do you need all that money for?” when the proceeds of the Li- brary Auction are announced. The somebody goes on to ask, “You surely can’t spend it all on books?’ It is reminiscent of the time a woman said she en- ‘vied Miriam Lathrop her job as librarian, because you have to do is sit hehind “All a desk and hand out books.” Two library buildings have to be heated and cared for. It is no longer one paid librarian, with volunteer help, as it was in the beginning. The Library needs every cent it can amass at the an- nual auction. Our Library is unique. It belongs to the community, is run by the community, and serves the community, with no outside help. The instant a Library funds, funds. accepts State aid or Federal it is subject to dictation from the donor of the We like to keep our Library our very own. That is why the Library Auction is such an important part of the Library program, crossing all boundaries of politics and religion and social status, bringing all parts of the community together in a common effort.

I remember it opined more than sonce by people who do business on that corner that there ought to be some adjustment made such as a | traffic light, because of the volume of traffic there. I have also ridden the bus, when the driver, because his vehicle had less than jack-rabbit acceleration, | was afraid to start across, as home- bound commuters wound out down | the last mile of their daily journey like Jimmy Clark pulling. blood out of fifth gear ‘in the Gran Prix de. France. - i Perhaps the volume of traffic is not. enough to warrant a regular red- -green light. (It will be ‘in time, | in any case, as Dallas Township | builds up.) Still a red blinker might | help to hold down the pace of traffic | on the highway at this. point. | © 'This corner is right on the bordbr- | | line of Dallag Borough and Dallas | Township, and they could probably | i split ‘the cost of the light 50-50.

Several Back Mountain farmers | have said this to me, after seeing | their fields ruined by ever-increas- ing wildlife populations. | Now, nobody’s against wildlife. | | But on the other hand you can’t | help wondering what we're going | | to eat if there aren’t any farmers | | to grow things. It takes a short- | sighted government to think: Well, | [I've got fifty thousand problems, | and I sure hate to throw aside any | of them, but if I've got to give one | it might as well be the farmers, because they vote less than | | anybody. (Excluding, of course, the | subsidy program on grains, | | which pretty well wraps up the big | ) | last instant unless you expect the ete., | farm states in the mid-west.) When fruit crops start to count: as 100 per cent losses, it may be | | time to think about action.

Maybe you know you've been born, but unless you have a birth certificate to prove it, the State Department is apt to look upon you\with a wary eye, and consider you in the light of a security risk. Maybe you've voted ever since Woman's Suffrage’ went into effect, have been a reasonably model citizen, have a raft of identifi- cation cards, boast a flock of tall grandsons, but in the eyes of the United States Government you do not exist. You are a wraith. And for one with excess poundage, this is upsetting. However, the visit to the State Department building in Washj ton last Tuesday turned out to be a chained lion. don’t know what a chained lion is, look up your Pilgrim’s Progress.)

That is, he was bored until his pet Persian cat walked into the room and was greeted with enthusiasm. Show me a beauti- ful white Persian with six inch whiskers, and I can emote to order, Especially if she has sea-green eyes and is obviously in the family way. “What are you going to do with the kittens?” was the obvious 7 Sestion. “You ought to get a good price for them. She's a beauti- ful cat.” The photographer beamed, while adjusting the lights. “Can't afford to part with any of them, I've got a big family, and they all want a kitten.” He fiddled with the lights again. camera,” he directed. It was impossible to refrain from asking, “You want a side view, too, with stripes ?” “Now look straight into the Passport photographs are not noted for beauty. They leave nothing to the imagination. A set of fingerprints doubtless should accompany them, plus a serial number. “Wanna come back in an hour and a half?” ° “Nope, T'll sit right here until you deliver the goods.” This was to prevent the photographer from dropping out for a coffee, break. Sitting right there puts him on his mettle, and is high recommended to all would-be passport seekers. In fifteen minutes, with interruptions for six other passport all of whom agreed to come back in an hour and a hz the prints were ready, limp and damp. 3 clients, The interview with the clerk at the passport desk was negotiated completely without pain. “You've had a passport before ?” “Yes, in 1922.

You need some more identification ?”’ ‘The clerk touched a button, and somebody down in the base- ment fed a flock of cards into an IBM machine.
