To some they are merely a colored numeral on a calendar, to others an excuse for a long week-end—when cliff-dwellers take to accident-cluttered highways to get away from the city streets, when subur- banites come to the city to celebrate. On Labor Day we should reflect on significant social and economic changes—the better standards of living we enjoy, the shorter work week, the improved working con- ditions. Today, American families have more leisure time than ever before. During this holiday pause, we should consider how we might invest some of this leisure time toward helping our fellowman. There is a great personal satisfaction in participating in organizations like the Boy Scouts, the YMCA-YMHA, women’s clubs, parent-teacher groups, 4- H clubs and other similar groups. Let us show our appreciation to those who have made Labor Day possible by volunteering to assist our community in making it a better place to live and to work. x ¥ ¥ No Stampede For Medicare There was an uneasy feeling in medical and govern- ment circles that the elderly now eligible for Medicare, would inevitably storm the doors of the hospitals and de- mand admission, waving their Medicare cards, the in- stant service became available. The supposition was that senior citizens would seize upon the opportunitp to get a good rest, with hot and cold running nurses in attendance, shaded lights, and other senior citizens in the semi-private rooms to insure com- panionship and endles gabfests. The ambition of the elderly to become bedridden was apparently over-estimated. The entire trend of hospitals these days is to get the patient out as quickly as possible, after getting him on his feet as soon as possible. Gone are the days when a maternity patient spent three luxurious weeks lounging around in bed. Doctors have found that they do much better if they get out of bed practically at once. Time was when only the “charity” patients were ushered out - in wheelchairs - at the end of ten days. The fact of the matter is that now the early discharge of patients is an absolute necessity. Space is at a pre- mium. Emergencies are still provided for, but if you want just a spot of fancy carpentering, you wait until your doctor can get you a bed. As for obtaining a rest cure on Medicare, forget it. Most elderly people don’t really want a rest cure any- how. Unless they are really sick, they prefer to remain in familiar surronudings. And as for rest - well, what rest do you get in a hos- pital? We couldn’t get along without hospitals, but we see no stampede to take advantage of the Medicare bill on grounds of rating a vacation after rinsing out the diapers for the greatgrandchildren. Who wants to be sick unless it is inevitable? Only Yesterday It Happened 30 Years Ago More babies at the top of the page: Eugene Brobst and Tréva Traver.

IN MANY DESIGNS Tabloids ~ Circulars The Dallas Post and remember so many, from my. DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA From— Pillar To Post... by HIX The cool spell came right on schedule, just as always, on Aug- ust 25, ready to warm up to a brisk sizzle over the Labor Day wek- end. Seemed pretty nice to get out an extra blanket for a change, after those torrid days and nights. Pretty nice, too, to se lawnmowers buzzing their way across new grass, after another summer of drought. The Back Mountain is green again after two months of baked earth, breathless nights, and days hot enought to fell a strong man. The only consolation has been that in Texas it was a lot hotter. By contrast, whe nyou looked at the projected temperatures on T-V TO- DAY SHOW, you could feel almost chilly by comparison. The thermometer is an old thing anyhow. Sometimes the 70 de- gree reading in the living room inspires you to turn up the therm- ostat, sometimes to open the door to let a little more cool air before the sun gets too high and the region starts baking. Seventy degrees is comfortable in the summer, far too cool in the winter when the snow starts piling up on the window sills, Probably it is the power of suggestion. Like putting one hand in cool water on a hot day. Suddenly, you are cool all over. In: August, if your porch thermometer read a sixty degrees in the early morning, you -are perfectly comfortable standing out there in a sun dress, caning a chair. ‘You, open the kitchen door, and the kitten frisks in ‘and out, extending a small paw at the dangling cane as he races past. ? If it were sixty degrees inside, in ho winter, you'd be calling the furnace man, and you'd be ‘muffled in sweaters and ski pants. It must be all ‘a matter of proportion, or maybe self-hypnotism. Within two weeks, we could have a frost. The first sight of a whitened roof is enough to send everybody tearing for the service station to get anti-freeze in the car, though we know there is no __ earthly sense in it until at least mid-October. It has been smelling like' Indian Summer, not late August, and not Fall. All except for the one notable scent that is completely. ab- sent, that of burning leaves. There is even a slight haze in the air. ‘Fall is on the way, summer is over, there is one more big picnic weekend coming up, and that is it. Finish to a long hot summer. Within less than a month the first fall coloring wil appear. For : a time there, it looked as if the leaves would be too dry to turn, but the rains came, and the éarth has been refreshed. We can look for- ward to some beautiful fall coloring this year, and to the hope that it will last longer than it did last year. Air Force. In| There is even hope that the drought cycle which had plauged the region for the past five years, has been broken. It was touch and go with the hunting season last year. The woods were so dry that everybody expected hunting to be banned. There is no such expectation ‘this year. That full moon is prevue of the Harvest Moon and the Hunters Moon, As the season of shorter days and longer nights approaches, the full moon dominates the night. By October, the end of it will be shining through leafless branches. By Thanksgiving, it wil be adisc of stainless steel, remote and cold as the outer reaches of the universe. The thermostat in the living room will be registering seventy- five. and guests wil shiver. They will surreptitiously push up the needle just a trifle higher. The fireplace logs will blaze, and send out radiant heat. The thermometer will register eighty, and it will still not be quite warm enough, away from the glow of the firelight. Eighty, during the summer, is something you shun, diving grate- fully into the cool living room, out of the August heat. : | “Everyone’s life is a story; nobody | a lives without troubles.” That is the wav Mrs. Boris Jen- | kins greets the idea that her own life has been a bit unusual. | way, because there have been so many wonderful things to see and read about, and people to meet. The beauty of the changing sea- | sons at Harveys Lake is stored in| her memory along with the elabo- rate decorations Palace. Her eyes now can only dis- tinguish light from dark. As a child in White Russia, es, Jenkins experienced discrimination and persecution by the government, which denied education to Jewish children and tried to" prevent re- ligious services. “The Czar,” savs Mrs. Jenkins, “made a very unhapoy life.” She still has a scar on her hand re- ceived at the age of twelve from a policeman’s club. Believing strongly that freedom and liberty were everyone's right, she joined the thousands of immi- grants who entered America in the early years of the twentieth century. Arriving in New York City at the age of eighteen, she went to work, attending night school to learn Eng- lish. Two years later she married Mr, Jenkins, a barber and hair dresser. After ten years in New York, Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. with their four small children, moved to Wilkes- Barre. where he established a suc- cessful beauty parlr. They chose this area because there were friends i and relatives in nearby towns. Thirty-four years ago they bought property at Harveys Lake, renting cottages as well as operating a beauty shop. Mrs. Jenkins herself of the Czar's: From Persecution In Czarist Russia To Quiet Backwaters Of The Lake by Catherine Gilbert | became a skilled hair dresser. 2 A tour of Europe in 1932 remains high spot in Mrs. Jenkins’ mem- | ory.

The beauty shon was closed. and her days of avid reading and voluminous writ- ing were at an end. But Mrs. Jenkins has little pa- tience. with those who waste time feeling sorry for themselves. She iw able to walk around the house and yard, and does the laundry and cooking. She is proud of her chil- dren and grandchildren. Each dav that comes is welcomed as a gift of God, and she looks back with pleasure at all the wonderful things she has seen. The property at Harveys lake is for sale now. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins expect to do auite a bit of travelling; there are stiill a lot of places she wants to see.
