The harvest moon, rising majestically’ above the hill, is described variously as the size of a washtub or the size of a dime. Actually, if you hold a pea at arm’s length between your eye and the moon, it will be completely blotted out. : So it is not too astonishing to folks in the Back Mountain to discover that the ball of fire which they con- sidered their own individual property Monday night, turns out to have been seen along the entire coast. “#lhe reason folks had time to rush out and have a look after being alerted by their neighbors, was that the mammoth meteorite was so high that it seemed to move vith deliberation. Camera fans had a chance to train their apparatus, and on the TODAY SHOW Tuesday morning, there was the ball of light, apparently snagged on a telephone wire within easy reach. ; Meteorites used to scare the living daylights out of primitive peoples, before astronomers passed the world that there was seldom anything to fear, as showers of sparks were so far away that they had no effect on the planet. Unidentified Flying Objects have taken so much space in the press recently, that when anything unusual is seen, it is translated in terms of UFO. To a world on edge because of the possibility that the planet itself could be the seat of a holocaust if the wrong finger touched a button, celestial phenomena are viewed with more than ordinary interest. . It might be a good idea tosreflect that any ball of fire avhich apparently moves slowly enough to ‘menace the high school or set fire to a woods, simply has to be | suede jacket, and an overcoat. | . . | While he was seeing the sights, thieves broke a car window and | went off with the loot. far enough away to do no damage.. It is all a matter of perspective. * * * ENSWER TO PRAYER They d to call it the Lonely Hearts, but now it ation Match.” Or is it “Mix and Match?” Feed your statistics, along with your choices in en- tertainment, reading matter, favorite colors, into an IBM machine; and out comes a date. If you don’t like the date, you can feed him back into the IBM machine, punch another button, and get another date.. This has several distinct advantages, as no person- alice are involved.. None of this pursuti and capture stuff. No waiting on the sidelines until some callow youth comes to the rescue. ~ Clearly, an answer to prayer. : The drawback to it is that the date can feed YOU back into the machine with equal ease. But then, there are drawbacks to everything. * * * | Bi-County Loop.

Sincerely, Ethel N. Smith Corresponding Secretary Theme Song, Water JOHN N. SHOEMAKER He isn't a native son, but John | N. Shoemaker of Wyoming has something powerful going for him | in the Back Mountain. John is a nephew of Jane Schooley, who is now out campaign- ing for him, supporting him in his bid for Representative of the newly | organized Fifth District. Aunt Jane, Cousin David are solid- ly behind John Shoemaker. Running as an Independent Re- | publican, he is without obligations | to a party organization. Asked in an interview at the Dallas Post, if he expected to go | on television, his answer was forth- | right and down to earth: “Can't; afford it. This way, I'm a free agent. No strings.” ! His theme song is water and more water. Clean water, purified streams, sanitary disposal. He has seen what happened to | the streams since his boyhood days of fishing and camping. In the last thirty years, he says, the build- | up of pollution is unbelievable. He hopes to be the man in Harris- burg who will take pure water as his mission, so that the Susque- hanna and its tributaries will once | more be clean enodgh to offer wholesome recreation. “How did you happen to become interested in politics?” brought forth the answer that it was a natural outgrowth of his work as Vice President of the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority and serv- ice on the Wyoming Planning Com- mission.. With a degree in Economics from Wilkes College, a graduate degree in | accounting, plus much experience in business, he has a background | of ‘practical financial understand- | ing of what can and cannot be DALLAS, PENNSYLVANI From— Pillar To Post... by HIX It doesn’t take too long to get used to it, but that second day of Daylight Saving is usually rugged. It is hard to remind yourself, as you plunge around.groggily in the dawn’s early light, that this afternoon, by gum, you can get out and dig up the flowerbeds. Who cares about digging up the flowerbeds, while all you can think about is that one more hour of shut-eye? The whole thing is complicated by a grey day which looks earlier than it is. The clock says it’s time to rise, but th~ shine is missing. After you get over the first blow, it looks pretty nice to see puddles in the driveway, and rows of drops glistening along the twigs of the forsythia. It's about time we had some rain, otherwise the happy grub- bing in the garden after work would be entirely fruitless. It is digg couraging to see those big fat robins gobbling the grass-seed whic had failed to sprout ‘on the baked surface of the newly spread top- soil. , That Daylight-Saving pitch . . . looks as if it might be har- nessed at long last. Too many times has one small and stubborn community, intent upon preserving its individuality, thrown a monkey wrench into calculations of the driving public.. Draw up to a gas station at 8:30, and lo, the gas station is not manned. A woman in curlers in the apartment overhead sticks her head out of the window: “Doesn’t open until eight o'clock,” she in- forms the driver. The gauge points to two degrees below zero, but you have to get to the next town before you can make connections with any high-test gas. : : This is frustrating. ; Coming up through the South, one village is humming with activity, with school children boiling across the highways. : In the next town, everybody is still in the sack. There used to be some rugged individualists along the road to Wilkes-Barre from the Back Mountain, who kept their clocks firmly set on what they called “God’s Time.” Which is about as stupid as you can get, considering the time belts, and the fact that going around the world you either gain lose a day, depending on which way you are travelling. When you live right smack on the edge of a time belt, where clocks are set forward or set back, there is endless confusion, a cir- cumstance which is made even more harrowing by the fact that a time belt does not necessarily run in a straight line. There are jogs in it, goodness knows why, but could be it has something to do Ey centers of population. It would be pretty difficult to slice a city right down the middle; eight a.m. on one side, seven on the other. At sea, it's easier, or in a plane flying high over the Atlantic or the Continent. You lose or gain a few hours, set your watch for- ward or back, and eat at what seem like odd hours. I know, you never catch up onyour sleep. Which is one advantage of Daylight Saving. That hour that you lose in April, you gain again the last Sun- day in October, when you have one blissful dividend of bootleg sleep, and rise at what seems like a sinfully luxurious hour, no matter what the clock says. : The best time to get used to Daylight Saving is on the road. If you are sleeping in a strange place, you can wake up much more easily than when surrounded by the familiar. Six o'clock, whether the clock says five or seven, seems like a good time to be up and away, always supposing that it is full day- light. . . x By the time you get. to where you are going, you are adjusted to the time, ready to'fall into bed, ‘and be up and at it the next morning. { And so far as A rr | service, he was a clerk at Acme. | He was at this time an- extension lature.
