Editorially Speaking
That Old Sand-Lot
We'd be the last people in the world to decry the
value of Little League Baseball, but it was pretty nice
the other day to see a family baseball game going on in a
roadside rest, Junior slugging it out with Dad, and cousins
coming up to bat.
All ages, boys and girls, fathers and mothers, aunts
and uncles, having the time of their lives.
No frantic
. | freely.
| Shavertown Sea Scouts spent the |
parents lining the bleachers, admonishing their young to
get that ball, you dope, whadda ya think you're doing out
there?
Sandlot baseball from time immemorial in this coun-
try, has been a common meeting ground, something like
the old English pub.
The sandlot is disappearing, and with it, part of
the fun of baseball.
Tall boys, small boys, little boys, big boys, with no
regard for age, used to get together after school or on
Saturday morning, to bat a ball around.
Whether a side lost or won, made very little differ-
ence, as players frequently switched to even things up.
Everybody that wanted to, got into the game.
The sand-lot could not turn out a Little League prod-
uct. The Back Mountain drove up to Massachustts by
the carload a few years back to see our Little League com-
peting, after winning the Pennsylvania championship
in Williamsport.
It was a tremendous thrill, to see Nothadtown boys in
action, to listen to the game over the radio if attendance
were not possible.
Very restful.
Nobody but those few boys had to stir a muscle.
We are becoming a nation of armchair athletes, or
if we are feeling extra enthusiastic, bleacher athletes.
It’s the modern trend.

Step Toward Nationalization
Just as we thought the airline strike would end, com-
plications developed, and the President got himself pushed
in the face.
A lot of us who have faced the overpowering heat
on Interstate Highways, driving to and from our destina-
tions instead of flying in comfort, would like to know
what it is all about.
Suppose the postal employees went on strike, and
mail stacked up by the mountain load?
The police force?
The military?
The water companies?
It could get pretty grim.
Are the airlines and the labor unions really that far
apart in their demands?
We've had bus strikes and railway s
fed up.

There is such a thing as responsibility to the public.
The instant there is a breakdown in public service,
one more step has been taken toward nationalization.
Is this what we want?

Dot Gilbert Hits Congo Roadblock
Rs New Nation Has Growing Pains
Each time there is a disturbance in the Congo, people inquire
about the safety of Dottie Gilbert, whose letters appear regularly
in' the Post. The most recent unrest was in Stanleyville, about 800
miles northeast of Leopoldville. Dottie is stationed at LM.E. in
Kimpese, 153 miles southwest of Leopoldville, on the road from the
capital to Matadi, the main seaport 94 miles further west.
A letter received on Monday tells of her encounter with the
repercussions of this disturbance. (Note that the Congolese govern-
ment has changed European-named cities to African names; Leopold-
ville is now Kinshasa, Stanleyville is Kisangani.)
It was written
from Sona Bata, a mission station between Kimpese and Kinshasa.

acted unon by the people in charge. |
In this case the order went out
| that no Europeans (white people)
were to leave Kinshasa. We heard
about it when some pevle came
back after being turned back at a
road block on the edge of the city.
We decided to see for ourselves.
I. Neal Testerman and Dr.
Evans. Sure enough we were stop-
[ped and told to go back to get a
pass. We went to the local com-
| mander’s office and he gave us a
note and they let us through but
(kept the note because it was ad-
dressed onlv to that one block.
They assured us this was the only
blockade.

Tuttle and some foreign consul got
through then, and when they came
back and reprted we went again.
They still said No, didn't know
So back
we went! The Scna Bata people
kept beds and meals ready for us
just in case.
At noon we reported on the radio
where we were, but IME couldnt
get on the air. The director went
to Thvsville again, hoping to bring
the officer back in person and we
went to meet him at the bridge,
but the officer was away, so we
came back again.
By now this is just Neal and Jim
and me: Frazers went back to Kin-
shasa, They will try to get a pase
from headquarters. But the people
who were the first to be turned
back Monday must have gotten the
pass from the top and they were
still turned back at Nkisi because
we passed them coming back to-
wad Kinshasa.
Last night a Conglese from here
went to Kimpese where he is going
to teach, so we gave him letters.
Also last evening another Congolese
came through from IME bringing a
note saving they heard us on the
| radio. He knows lots of peple in the

[let us pass. We went to the local
government office and he gave us
a pass, but they wouldn't honor
that, and the onlv Army head-
auarters was at Thvsville, on the’
other side of the bridge.
Dr. Tuttle from Sona Bata had |
| gone to IME for dental work and
government and was going to use
his influence and this morning he
would telephone his results.
The Sona Bata people had a
birthday cake for me and we played
Scrabble in the evening.

Dear Editor:
I do not feel that I can let a
certain statement in the Beaumont
news section of your paper go un-
corrected. Despite - all the stories
to the opposite, my Ming was not
a ‘“‘domesticated cat gone wild.”
He had sleek black fur, round, yel-
low =zyes, and eight toes on each
foot, but he was neither panther
nor wild cat.
Ming was different, and for some
inexplicable reason, when an animal
or a person is different from the
rest of society he becomes some
weird object to fear.
The most contemptible word in
the English language is fear be-
cause it makes people destroy in
a blind madness, Compassion is the
most beautiful for it brings under-
standing, and with that the ability
to ‘accept and even enjoy that
which is different.
This is an epitaph for a cat who
paraded,

BROKEN HEART MENDED
Dear Mrs. Risley
I think that we are all aware
of the deep sense of responsibility
and service that a newspaper is
serves.
Yesterday, the editors and staff
of the Dallas Post went far beyond
that charge in the thoughtful and
efficient repair job they performed
on the broken heart of a nine year
old boy who had just lost his dog
as the result of an auto accident..
It is reassuring to know that we
adults can still be moved to acts
of kindness without selfish motiva-
tion.
I would like to thank you, Mrs.
Risley and also Mrs. Dewitt Smith
for caring and finding a replace-
ment for my son’s dog so quickly.
By the way, you did a pretty
good job of mending some cracks
in a mother’s and father’s heart too.
With deep appreciation, I am

It has always seemed a kindly thing, to let the parks, supported

Now, who can say who is the outsider?
