Editorially Speaking
Two Summer Events In The Bag
The Back Mountain is drawing a long breath after
the two main bouts pf the summer, the Library Auction
and the Lehman Horse-Show.
Frequently, the marchers get sprinkled with a light
shower on the Fourth of July, but this year they played
in luck, providing their own moisture in the sizzling tem-
perature, but with no assist from the clouds.
The Auction grounds got a much needed bath
Wednesday night, a rainfall that did nothing to lower the
humidity, but smelled heavenly on the parched grass.
Ten years ago, at the Tenth Library Auction, it rain-
ed all day Thursday, letting up for the evening bidding.
And on several other occasions, the Auction has been
rained out, to start again the following Monday or the
following Saturday.
Catherine Gilbert, tabloid editor, caught the spirit
of the successive Auctions in last week’s issue, using
pictures from each of the nineteen preceding Auctions,
with just enough explanation to bring out the character
of each.
There are extra tabloids on hand, if anybody wishes
a pictured version of the twenty years. i
James Kozemchak is responsible for the major part
of the pictures used. The picture of the library on the
front of the tabloid, is the same that was this year for
the Auction posters. ) :
Graphic Arts has for years been donating the ‘‘cuts”
to the Dallas Post for the Auction pictures, a donation
which mounts up into the hundreds of dollars.
It’s tempting providence to schedule two main events
for two successive weekends. One or the other can get
drowned out.
Out in Franklin Township some years ago, an annual
fund raising dinner on July 4 got thunder-stormed out
so consistently that it gave up.
Freakish heat, such as the Back Mountain experi-
enced for two weeks running, usually is terminated by a
cold spell that causes the area to build fires in the fire-
places, or turn on the central heating.
Auction visitors have frequently appeared on the
~ final night in winter coats, or muffled in sweaters. On
those occasions, the refreshment stand did a hot coffee

Watch That Fire
Local as well as State fire services, join in warning
picnickers and campers that the woods are extremely dry
after the driest June on record.
Camp fires should be carefully guarded, doused
thoroughly with water, stirred, and doused again,
State forests and camping grounds offer welcome re-
lief from the summer heat, but the welcome is coupled
with responsibility.
A person who tosses away a burning cigarette stub’
may not see a blaze. Such a stub smoldersin pine needles,
feeding itself until it can get enough oxygen to burst in-
to flame.
The camper or picnicker may be long’ gone by the
time a flicker of flame reaches a pocket of tinder -dry
leaves or needles. He feels no responsibility, because he is
too ignorant to realize it.
Fire-fighters drop their work to battle the blaze, and
unless they conquer it speedily, there goes another tract
of timber.
‘Watch that trash fire, too.
Papers are funneled aloft by the air from an incin-
erator, to fall, still blazing, far from their origin. If they
fall in a patch of dry woodland or brushy area, they have
all the power of a demon to regenerate.
Never burn trash out of doors unless you have by
your side a bucket of water and a dampened broom. A
broom is the official fire-fighting weapon, far superior
i a rake, which spreads rather than smothers a grass
ire.

We Have A Law Against Fireworks
We have a law against fireworks in Pennsylvania.
So why is it that a small boy can be killed by a fire-
cracker exploding in a tin can and blowing it to bits?
Where did he and his small friends get the fire-’
cracker? It/was obviously a large cracker, or its force
would not have been sufficient to do the damage.
Did his parents know that he had firecrackers? Or
i Joey close their eyes to a “minor infraction” of the
aw’
Is there a bootleg traffic in fireworks?
In our community, many packs of firecrackers were
set off, completely against the law. They popped the night
before the Fourth of July, and they popped until long
past midnight on Monday. :
There are many people who think that the ban on
on fireworks is ridiculous. They point out the tragic traf-
fic toll on the holiday highways.
There is no ban on driving. Semi-annual inspections
render the cars reasonably safe. Drivers continue to go
out and get themselves killed, taking a chance on passing
a car on a hill, or not stopping frequently enough to keep
mentally alert. It is easy to be careless if you are tired.
There is no ban on driving. But there IS ban on

DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA
From—
Pillar To Post...
When I wrote about the 250 pound anvil in last week’s Dallas
Post, and mentioned that a smaller model had stepped on my finger
in my extreme youth, I had no idea that history would repeat itself.
Truth to tell, I had no idea that the anvil would ever hit the
Auction block at all, and I will confess to a feeling of horror and pre-
monition when it was hoisted into the air.
Dropped on a foot, from any kind of a height, it would. inevit-
ably reduce that foot to a bloody pulp.
I held my breath as the Explorer stalwarts raised it to auction
block level, and started to exhale thankfully just before the anvil
| © got Mr. McCoog’s finger. :
And an accolade for the assistant Scout leader. He never made
a sound, though the pain must have been terrific.
First Aid is OK for superficial cuts, but a mashed finger rates
a trip to the hospital.
Having mashed my own finger in a car door at one time, and
being reduced to helpless, though silent, tears, I know exactly how
it felt.
The anvil was supposed to have been a gag.
It was a gag that back-fired.
Whoever bought it, bought herself a white elephant.
A white elephant that at last reports was still sitting on the
auction block, as it called for a block and tackle to remove it, or a
wrecker with equipment.
We will miss the anvil. It has been crouching in the corner
of the auction barn for months. Nobody ever offered to make away
with it. It needed no nailing down for safety. Who could lift it?
It belonged to Levi Updyke, who was once a blacksmith of con-
siderable note in this area. He went out of business awhile back,
and advertised his forge and other equipment in the Dallas Post.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, to take the anvil off his
hands.
The way we feel about it now, we'd like to see it go into the
melting pot in a steel foundry, where it would quickly become
anonymous.
I asked the woman who was writing out a check for its pur-
chase, “What do you plan to do with it?”
She said she was going to put it in her garden.
I can see it now, 100 years from now, sitting under a lilac bush,
lying in wait for the unwary. :
I can hear the amazed comments:

There's a family that had to shoe its own
