We in this area are sitting pretty, with a power plant at Hunlock Creek, one powered by that industrial step-child anthracite, the fuel that has shrunk from its status as the giant of the Valley to its present position as an alternate fuel, not highly regarded, but dependable. Dependable is the operative word. Electric systems, like government, can get too big. They can become so enmeshed in tremendous complexes that they fail to do their job. There is nothing which will ever take the place of individuals and individual effort. : It is dangerous to become too dependent upon a bene- ficent power, one which promises material advantages but ignores the basic facts of life. It is dangerous to surrender liberties for the sake of convenience. The question which has not yet been voiced is this: HOW did the power come back on again, when the cause of the blackout in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, major cities, and of rural and urban areas far up into Maine, has not yet been determined? Was this a rehearsal? The easiest possible way to bring a nation to heel is by depriving its major [cities of power. Easier and more practical than by atomic bombs, no expense to the producer, buildings and facilities intact instead of laid waste, all ripe for the plucking. It is a spige- ~chilling thought. Teaching Versus Research The allegation has been Tevelled at universities in the United States that teachers are too busy writing books about their subjects, and doing research on Govern- ment grants, to be bothered teaching. That the student body is taught by underlings, not permitted to come in direct contact with the great minds of the day. If this is true, and swe hope that it is greatly exag- gerated, our college students are being short-changed in the universities which are synonymous with status. “Publish or Perish” is the cry. Add to the status of a university, or get the hook. This is exemplified in a bitter cartoon cited by, of all people, a featured speaker at the Surgical Convention in May of this year, stating his views before an audi- torium filled with ranking surgeons of the country. The cartoon shows four figures, one seated pompous- ly behind a desk. He is addressing a man in a business suit, and two men who wear draperies now seen only in statuary. ; His words are these: “You, Mr. Socrates, and you, Mr. Christ, since you have never published . . . while YOU, Mr. Marx ... .” The contention of the speaker was that research can never take the place of teaching, that the two should go hand in hand, and that young minds need professors who can spark them. We are fortunate indeed that secondary schools do not insist upon the same rigid taboos, and that the teach- ers in the first grade can still open the minds of children to the world about them, treating them as individuals instead of bothersome little paths to be bypassed on the road to scientific thinking. But what about our college students? Are their keen minds being lulled to sleep by in- structors who are waiting only their own chance to re- treat into an ivory tower and produce volumes which will increase their own prestige and that of their Uni- versity — on Government handouts? What has happened to pure teaching? The joy of setting a goal and helping an eager student to attain it? : The young man or woman of extreme ability will get there in any event, but what about the students of lesser ability, who still ddserve the best education that they can get? Are they fumbling through four years of mediocre instruction when their minds should be fired by men of great ability, dedicated to the proposition that the human mind has never produced all that it could produce? Too often the printed word lies fallow. It is the spoken word, and the face to face confrontation of teacher and student which lights the flame. Veterans Day Today they march and their step is light, Their heads are high and their eyes are bright, And some bear the scars of battle still; (Normandy and Porkchop Hill.) Marching, marching with measured tread, Marching to honor the gallant dead; Marching proudly, they show indeed — These are men of a different breed. Here are the men who fought and bled, Here are the men who never said “I think my country’s course is wrong Don’t count on me to go along.” For the men who proudly march today Have kept their faith in a finer way, And prayed in their country’s hour of need— They were en of a different breed.

And homes in that area carry comparatively large assess-' ments (although the point is well taken that property values could suffer if the district becomes com- mercial.) The larger point of all this is that the citizens of the borough know that lack of inhabitable area lays the problem of municipal ec-' onomics right in their laps, and | they are now in process of trying to weigh the hows and whys of it. The fact remains that the growth of the borough in building and tax- potential will not keep up with the rest of the Back Mountain unless somebody comes up with some new ideas, something along the lines of getting twenty students Volkswagen, or else the unpopular alternative of commercializing resi- dential zones. .

Services Friday For ‘Elmer Coolbaugh, 76 { Services for Elmer Coolbaugh will be held Friday afternoon at 2 from the Bronson Funeral Home. Friends may call Thursday after- nocn 3 to 5, or in the evening 7 to 10. Rev. Charles Gommer, pastor of Mr. Coolbaugh attended, will offi- ciate. Burial will be in Lehman Cem- etery. i Mr. Coolbaugh, 76, died early Wednesday morning at Nesbitt Hos- pital where he had been admitted on Saturday with a lung congestion. He had appeared to be doing well. His son Russell, of Lehman, was] admitted at the same time. Born in Locksville, son of Rob- ert and Bertha Swartwood Cool- baugh, he moved to Lehman as a young man. For the past 45 years he lived in Trucksville, retiring eleven years ago from a thirty-eight year employment with Wilkes- Barre Transit. He belonged to the Transit Union, Div. 164, and was a trustee of | Trucksville Fire Company. His wife, the former Bessie John- | | son of Jackson Township, died five | years ago. | Surviving are: his son Russell, of | | Lehman; a daughter, Mrs. Ogden | | Palmer of Trucksville; five grand- | | sons, two greatgrandchildren; a | | brother Walter, Huntsville; two oe | ters; Mrs .Gladys Coolbaugh, Sum- | Blanche | merville ,N.

The wreck of the small rocking chair had been sitting on the x back porch for over a year. A solid seat, two good rockers, and a bundle of sticks marked the spot where an incurable optimist weighing 200 pounds had wedged herself happily into a small rocker) chanting with glee, “See, I can sit in it.” : k At about that moment the arms popped off, the arrow splats at the back let g0, and the remains had to be removed from the rear end with a chisel, the culprit leaning over with her hands braced on a kitchen chair. From that time forward, opinions varied. Could the wreck be put together again, or could it not? The verdict was that the situation was hopeless, but nobody could bear to chop the ex-rocker up for kindling, or heave it in the trash can. It was one of the first thingsto be brought to the Pump-House from the Library Auction. In tip-top condition at that time, it had set the bidder back two bucks. For the rest of the Auction days, it travelled back and forth, providing a seat during the auction, and a conversation piece at home. Eventually, it was installed in the nursery in a bleak barracks building at the Raleigh-Durham Airport. The next port of call was Herndon, Virginia, where it again did duty in the nursery in the reign of Bill the Bold. From its snug confines, night after night issued the story of The Little Red Wagon. Time passed, and the small rocker was graduated into the Nursery School, where it took a colossal beating, but still stood staunchly upon its sturdy rockers, accommodating generations of kindergartners happily rocking kittens to sleep. : Disaster struck, as in paragraph two. The kindergartners viewed the remains with sadness, but with resignations. The rocker came up to Dallas in the back of the station wagon. Could be something could be done about it, but the case looked hopeless. Came the surgeon, champing at the bit for something to do. #8 He had turned down the thought of reconstruction a year earlier, when invited to have a look. His diagnosis had been ‘Hopeless. The patient died some years ago.” But on this recent visit, with time hanging heavy, he began assembling the bits and pieces. He wrought a miracle with dowels and glue and saw and chisel, and finished off with a complete job of sandpapering. One thing leading to another, he then demanded and emory cloth. The final touch was varnish stain in light oak, again and revarnished. We step out on the back porch every once in awhile, to take a look at the finished product, touch it gently, and marvel. That little rocker, which will return to Virginia right after Thanksgiving, is in for another extended period of rocking kittens in the kindergarten room. We thought some of advising Barbara to hang it on the wall. Was it the Shakers who used to hang up their chairs, not only for preservation, but to discourage idleness ? But the rocker is now so strong that probably a baby elephant could sit in it without disaster. Nothing like having a surgeon in residence, one who needs only an occasional stoking with bacon and eggs, hot dogs, and pump- kin pie, flanked by a glass of what he refers to as ‘“mere-milk.” (Translated, dry milk cut with an equal quantity of the real stuff from a cow.) steel wool sanded down Irresistible Charm The Mayor-elect of New York has the same irre- sistible charm with which John Fitzgerald Kennedy was blessed, a youthful ebullience which has the power of a magnet. Nobody who saw him on television, or later in pic- tures in post-election newspapers, could fail to respond to that love of life, that clear-eyed eagerness to be up and at it. ; One special picture stands out, the one snapped while he was exuberantly clasping his hands over his head in the sign of victory, shouting his joy at winning the elec- tion, his face matched by another wide-open face, that of a Negro in Harlem. Too long has New York been ruled by politicians who measure their smiles of approval in direct ratio to 4 favors received. ir Let us have more people who can laugh or cry, who #4 not ashamed to register honest emotion.
