Few organizations cross municipal boundaries, al- though their volunteers would willingly render help any- where in the Back Mountain at the drop of a word. Such an outstanding citizen is Russel] Coolbaugh of Lehman, who must have logged a thousand miles and “hours in service of his community, as well as assisting in others, with the Lehman fire company and ambulance. The only thing that would stop Russ from helping others would be an illness of his own, and this has hap- pened, necessitating a long hospitalization at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville. Whether you are from Lehman or not, we think Russ might appreciate getting a card from you if you appreciate, as we do, his continuing work for the com- munity. THIS IS EDUCATION?

They always know when a change in the weather is imminent. j Last Saturday morning, while it was still mild and pleasant after a day of drizzle, there was frenzied activity at the bird feeders of the community; chickadees stuffing themselves with suet, tufted titmice coming again and again for small grain and breadcérumbs. () Starlings were zeroing in, squirrels going nuts. | When the cold wave hit, and the mercury shrank, minute by & minute, down toward the bulb in the thermometer, the birds were § ready for a cold night, their feathers fluffed, their gizzards grinding ! nappily away on extra rations of sunflower seeds. 4 The stores cooperated.

We have recently had called to our attention about the filthiest piece of college campus muck that could have been conceived in some dark basement of a mind. How it ever got past the authorities is a mystery. Yellow is the fitting color for the cover. Vulgarity is occasionally funny. But vulgarity, page after page, in a magazine published under the aégis of a recognized institution of higher learning, where young men and women presumably go to obtain an education at great expense to their parents, instead of an illicit toss in thehay . ..

The February blitz was hard to take after all that kind temperature. Lack of snow has been tough on the skiiers, but most big ski places these days have snow machines which grind up ice and powder the runs. The system: may lack atmosphere, but it is functional, after a fashion. : ? ? Nobody could complain that it was too mild Saturday night. It was too cold to snow. : ES : a » “Too bad,” said one youth at ‘a filling station, “can’t get the key turned in the lock.” * ‘ ; That boy maybe doesn’t know it, but he lost a customer at that point. . : x The next filling station gave the lock a squirt of anti-freeze, waited a .moment, and turned the key without difficulty, filling the tank with high test gas and adding a can of the dry-gas glunk that is supposed to gentle your motor into starting off like a shot on sub-zero morning. 1 Got your inspection sticker ? Wait until January 31, and there will be a line-up at your in- spection station. Pays to get the car inspected along toward the end of December, thereby avoiding the rush. Dannie is waiting until the time is ripe before submitting hiS% bill. “Had to reline your brakes,” he announced, as he delivered the car. Several of the local folks, with complete trust in Hix, have been holding their bills until a convenient time. How do they know I won't start for Mexico ? Willis installed a new oil burner some months ago. The bill didn’t come and didn’t come. ‘‘Saving it for a Christmas present?” I finally accosted him. 7 Donnie is hatching out a new supply of apple-wood logs — 1 hope T hope. The last truckload is beginning to scrape bottom in the basement. Er Nobody ever believes me when I say how small a log I require. Not only does. the stick have to be not over ten inches long, but it has to comply with the up and down measurement of the opening in the front of the Franklin stove. Anything large has to be split. There's a trick to the Franklin stove in really cold weather, If you pour a bucket of coal into the bottom of the grate, and build a wood fire on top, you've got the foundation for an overnight fire which keeps the kitchen toasty until morning. & pg Sen i It isn’t everybody who is smart enough to have kept the coal- burning range. Kitchens are pretty cold spots these days, consider- ing the insulated models of cookstoves which are guaranteed to keep the kitchen cool. ; Marvelous for summer.
