Editorially Speaking A Significant Step Lake-Lehman School District now joins the Greater Wyoming Valley American Red Cross Bloodmobile pro- gram. September 22 will prove whether the widely scat- tered Lake-Lehman area will take a significant step for- ward, realizing the vital importance of supporting the blood program. > Any family which has been faced with thé of buying blood commercially for transfUsioss after an accident on the highway, ‘will see the value of having the ‘mind set at.reston at least this one point. As long as the community lives up to its responsibili- ties in giving blood, its families are protected. The blood will be there when needed. To assure a constant supply, people who are in good health must donate blood. It is a privilege to be accepted as a donor. Some who would like to give, are denied the satis- faction because of age or illness. These people, too, are protected under the Blood Assurance Program. Shedding your blood on a stretcher in a Bloodmobile center may not be as dramatic as plucking a child from a burning honse but it-is equally a saving of human life, Blood is life. Bn Adult For The School Bus It is the oon of the Dallas Post that every school bus, wherevér + ly .possible; should ‘include among its passengers an adult with recognized authority. We feel that a/driver, faced with icy roads or heavy traffic, should ‘be entitled to give his sole attention to safety in loading’ and unloadinig, and to grappling with ever-increasing highway /dangers. Matters of discipline should be delegated. There wss a great to-do a few years ago, about a cafeteria worker riding a school bus. The sere] board should have given her a rising vote of thanks for being willing to ride a school bus. Most/of us would shudder at the thought, but here she was,/an answer to prayer, an adult who could keep an eye ¢n the children, who asked for no remuneration for such services. There must be teachers or cafeteria workers or non- professional employees who could be coerced into riding a school bus in the interests of law and order. Some good husky male, for instance, who could quell trouble before it got started. An alternative would be this: let the student council appoint authoritative seniors to act as monitors. It has been our observation that students themselves are able to exert an astonishing amount of pressure on other stu- dents who are making things tough for passengers. The bus driver has a tremendous job keeping that bus moving along its route, alert for every icy patch in the road, bringing his heavy vehicle to a safe stop, seeing that all his passengers are aboard, and that they get off at the right place on the return trip.. : Safety Valve PAINLESS INTERVIEW WP i / | parent that there were few unsold | newsstand copies of the Post left - | I helpe cause the shortage.

From— Pillar To Post... By Hix A Bar Mitzvah, traditional among Jewish people from time im- memorial, is one of the most impressive religious ceremonies in the world. . Few members of other faiths are acquainted with the under- lying symbolism. To be invited to a Bar Mitzvah is a distinct honor, and to be considered as such. a The thirteen-year-old boy stands before his congregation in J Temple, letter perfect in his part. He has. studied for two years tn attain this goal, up to this point the most important day of his life. L He has studied, not sporadically, and when convenient, but every day of every week, after his regular school sessions are finished and his classmates are at play. : He has learned the ancient Hebrew language, the language which his forefathers spoke when they were in bondage in Egypt. The language that Jesus spoke when he was on this earth. The ceremony is the same, hallowed by tradition, the embarking of a young lad on the sea of maturity, instructed in his responsi- bilities to his family, his community, and his God. It is a solemn moment when the sacred scrolls are lifted rev- erently, placed in the hands of the father, and from the father passed to the son. The congregation holds its breath as the boy carries the scrolls to the reading desk. He is assisted by his father and his spiritual leader, as the covering is removed, and the writ laid bare. It is in Hebrew. The boy must read the passages first in Hebrew, then translate it into English. - . To The hair rises as he does so, and there is a deathly hush. For here is a young man who has gone back in time to the earliest of recorded history, and beyond. The living exponent of . the Old Testament, when the altar to The Unknown God was first kindled, and men took on responsibility for their actions, bringing law out of chaos. . ; The piping voice in its childish treble continues, a finger follow- the words. ; The Scroll is returned, the veil drawn, and the boy kisses his his father. : The ceremony is at an end. From father to son, the ancient word is given. Parents have a right to bejustly proud of a perfect execution of a traditional rite. The boy is now a man, eligible to form one of a minyin, the smallest group of men who must be present in order to constitute a congregation for a religious service. He takes his place among the elders. I felt highly honored at being invited by the Harold Saffians to attend the Bar Mitzvah of their son last Friday night. ; Teachers from the Dallas Borough School were there, those who had followed the boy's progress through the grades. In ancient times, the mother would have been denied any share in the ceremony. On Friday night, Mrs. Saffian spoke, taking a brief preliminary part. g ! Boys who study for two years in order to be adjudged worthy of entering manhood, do not lightly abandon their responsibilities.
