It is a civic duty for those who can give, to do so. Vote No matter which candidates you support, stand up and be counted on election day. The important thing is to register your opinion by casting your ballot. Elections have been won or lost on a single vote. If your candidate loses, it will not be by any fault of yours, if you have gone to the polls. * * The Gift Of Sight A few days ago, a man stood at the crest of a steep hill, looking down at a beautiful view. He turned, and slipped coins into the box which was labelled: “Give for the benefit of the blind, who cannot enjoy what you have just seen.” Last year, this man could not have seen the view. With one eye gone and the other fast going, he faced a life of blindness. He had a choice: He could submit to surgery, with a. slim_ chance of getting his vision back, and a much Aree Thane: of being completely blinded. Or he could continue groping in a haze, with the darkness steadily drawing nearer, a darkness which deepened imperceptibly * * ~ day by day. He said, philosophically, “What have I to lose?” Implemented by the best in modern surgery, the miracle came to pass. Each year the Lions Club issues an appeal. - It asks that people who are blessed with good vision, sign a card saying that when they need them no longer, their eyes may be used to give the miracle of sight to people who now go in darkness. . Many of us carry such cards. More of us should carry them. * Dance of the Cornshocks Large fields of corn, neatly stacked in shocks with pumpkins at their that one can’t remember its happening and only realizes their ab- The following poem was written by a teenager when cornshocks Modern sence when an occasional small field of shocked corn calls them to mind. | of St. Paul's Lutheran, helped pastor had | Eidam break ground for church ad- not been reduced to the status of mere Halloween party decorations, but she felt a witchery in them none the less.

To prevent further misconception, it should be said that this idea was given voice in certain Dallas circles, but was strictly a joke—repeat, JOKE, over which everybody laugh- ed and which no one took seriously. Clearly what happened was that the idea was exchanged in mock seriousness between one of the many mutual friendships that exist between members of Shavertown and Dallas companies. SEEN AND HEARD The Democratic front in Dallas Township reeled under force of a decision in court handing the Dem- ceratic nomination for school di- rector to the Republican nominee; alignments and alleged alignments’ looked to be in a last minute re- shuffle; and people were wondering whether the defeated contender, a veteran of political disappointment by this time, would have any last- ditch hopes—such as a write-in campaign.

The nicest thing about the whole three weeks trip to England and Ireland, was the array of signs on the door, the windows and fences, not to mention a giant economy size yellow sheet pinned to the desk at the Dallas Post when I walked in on Monday morning. I recognize Velma's hand in this welcome on the mat. It was a fitting wind-up to a trip that started September 30, with cake and ice cream and a bon voyage corsage the day before at the Dallas Post. Plus a personally conducted drive to the airport, with Velma | at the wheel and Sandy riding shotgun. All this on top’of a home- grown permanent a few nights earlier, and a totally unexpected but very welcome assist with the dusting. It’s the personal touch that counts. It’s nice to be missed. ~ Little by little, the details of a perfectly marvelous trip will emerge from scattered notes, picture postcards, brochures, and what- not, but at this point, the Pennsylvania hills never looked more beautiful to me, bare though they are becoming, and barer with each passing day and stormy gust of wind. There is that pungent aroma of burning leaves, and a sure promise of frost in the air. It would be a pity to miss all of October in the Back Mountain. 3 It's a shame to have to admit it, put nothing out thisaway can hold a candle to the English gardens down in Sussex. Perfectly gorgeous blossoms, entirely untouched by frost. Mrs. Joseph Schooley would rave about them. All England gets out and gardens, working until sunset and beyond, but of course taking a breather at tea-time. Things keep popping up, things that cry to be written: the chimney-sweep who was responsible for my getting a tiny piece of cranberry glass, for instance; the mammoth Irish wolfhound loung- ing contentedly on his bed in Bunratty Castle, a small black and white kitten curled at his feet; a view of the White Cliffs of Dover from the English Channel, and Kentishmen wondering audibly, “Those bluebirds? What ARE bluebirds?” i Honestly, Bing Crosby’s best efforts are wasted. They think bluebirds must be swallows.
