Editorially Speaking
We Say It's Hideous
We say it’s hideous, those scorched earth patches
where green foliage by the roadsides is sprayed by chem-
icals.
So, maybe it's efficient.
So would a food capsule be efficient, eliminating a
lot of cooking, and a lot of pleasant living revolving
around the kitchen stove.
Swallow a capsule, and there you are, no muss, no
fuss, no pans to clea, no dishes to wash. And in times
to come, no young husband saying wistfully, “Mom used
to make the best pancakes.” Nice br eak for the new -
bride. Push him a pink capsule for breakfast, a green
one for lunch, and a hearty brown one for dinner.
Plenty of things are highly efficient, but they lack
soul.
% Like those burnt brown bushes where the birds used
to build their nests, and feed their brood.
Where the cottontails found refuge.
Where the busy life of a small and seldom noticed
world burgeoned in the spring, where all the tiny sounds
of nature joined in a summer chorus.
Where the first frost of autumn turned the sumacs
red and slashed a blazing yellow across the saplings.
The hideous shrivelled corpses of the leaves hang
from the withered branches, a sacrilege to a green coun-
tryside.
Here in the.Back Mountain we have beautiful wind-
ing roads. We have a heritage that we should preserve.
We cry out against billboards.
We cry out against litter. :
We think that a man with a scythe and a pair of
hedge clippers could keep the saplings and the berry-bear-
ing bushes under reasonable control.
Birds need those wayside bushes for their winter
food.
Birds don’t pav the phone bill or the light bill. but
they give an unestimated amount of pleasure to those
who write the checks.
Felks On Farms Eat
The Dallas Post is watching with concern the disap-
pearance of the dairy herds from this county.
It would like to know how many young men realize
what a fantastic investment there is in a modern farm, its
heavy equipment and its herds.
It would like to know how many sons are going into
business with their fathers, keeping up the herds, spray-
ing the orchards, turning the soil, harvesting the crops
upon which our nation depends for its very life.
It would like to know how many new herds have been
started in this area.
There is one thing which a good many people who
are on unemployment hand-outs forget: Farm labor is
scarce. . and folks on farms eat.
That's What Libraries Are For

check-out desk of Back Mountain Memorial Library for a time, sent on

From—
Pillar To Post...
by HIX
“I did NOT bite the dog. The dog bit ME,” I explained over
the telephone. “It isn’t cricket to sympathize with the dog.”
“Well, if you did bite it, it will probably die. Was it frothing
at the mouth 2”
“No, I'm the one who is frothing at the mouth. And I ask you,
is that any bedside manner, when I call you up to see if I need to
be cauterized.”
“The only thing that is important is the dog. He'll have to be
tied up for a week.”
“And then?”
“If he gets sick, he can be shot and his head sent to Harrisburg,
and then we can see if he's got rabies.”
“And then?”
“Well, after we get a diagnosis, we usually have time to start
treatments.”
“Aw, come OFF it. I tell you I've been dog-bit.”
“Better you than the dog. I hate to think what would happen
to a dog if you ever sunk your teeth into him.”
“When I bite a dog,” I responded tartly, “it is invariably fatal.
To the dog. Shall I, or shall I not, come around and get cauterized ?”’
“If you want to get cauterized, I'll cauterize you. I can also
use three kinds of acid on you, which is just what you deserve after
that postscript t6 my last bill. Illegible writing indeed!”
“It was illegible. I couldn’t make out whetherr it was for fifty
dollars or five dollars. If it was for fifty, friendship ceases, as of
this moment. Also any professional connection. ARE YOU GOING
TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT DOG BITE?”
“Come around and get cauterized ‘if you want to. You can't
be bad off, considering your frame of mind. Much of a wound?”
“Well, judging by what I can see in the full length mirror, it's
two places, about seven inches apart.”
“Must have been some dog,” my favorite doctor admired.
“It was some dog. A police dog.”
“You're old enough to know better than to go around annoying
police dogs. What are our senior citizens coming to?”
“Lookit. This dog was chained up with something that could
have moored the Queen Mary. He was guarding the alley.”
“And what were you doing prowling up an alley?”
“I was going to deliver a cane-job, and it was in my car, and
the workshop was locked, being Saturday afternoon and all, so I
left the chair in the car and started walking up the alley.”
“You should have taken it aloong for protection. Don't you
know that all wild animal trainers carry chairs?”
“How did I know it was a wild animal? Anyhow, there was this
creature, barking like crazy at one end and wagging at the other,
and how was I to know he had a business assignment? I'm not
afraid of dogs. I just told him to shut up, he was disturbing the
Saturday afternoon calm, and walked on past him.
“His chain was long enough so he could leap from one side of
the alley to the other. I took him a little while to make up his
mind. T was almost out of reach when he decided. Lucky he didn’t
jump sooner, he'd have had my arm off to the elbow. As it was,
he had to take what was handy. on i
“Well, where DID he bite you?”
“What do you care? All you're interested in is the dratted
dog, and he is intact. I did not stick around to bite back.”
“Come on, give. WHERE did he bite you?”
“You want me to start blushing over the phone?”
“Oh-oh.”
“Where do you think he got me? Right in 7 stern. He couldn't
miss it, all things considered.”
“It would be hard to miss.”
“Now I ask you, is that any ‘comforting beside manner ?
Next time I see him, I'm going to bite HIM. My favorite doctor,
not the police dog.
We have an understanding. We exchange insults, but when
there's an emergency, he’s right there on the job, in there pitching.
