We can give no assurance that announcements of plays, parties, rummage sales or any affair for raising money will appear in a Editorially Speaking You Can't Win It is a long haul until income tax time comes around again, and the mid-April date in thankfully forgotten in between the filling out of those awesome looking blanks, : Well ahead of time, there are some things we would like to inquire into, in the belief that other people may be equally puzzled. One of them is the matter of contributions, You can deduct to your heart's content for donations to the Cancer Drive, the Fund for the Blind, the Navajo Indians, any church, an drive, any organization for send- ing of red flannel underwear to the Hottentots or elec- tric refrigerators for the inhabitants of igloos in Arctic, anv project for saving the wilderness, for clearing the wilderness, for damming the streams, for undamming the streams, for saving the starlings, for getting rid of the starlings. You name it, you can deduct from your income tax for contributing to any organization whatsoever, just so it bears as its title a string of imposing looking capital letters. You can even contribute to Communist-inspired or- ganizations, and deduct, because this is a free country and your opinions are your own. But you can't deduct for any personal charity. Try it and see. If you know somebody who needs a ton of coal or a box of groceries, you can contribute it through an acency which then takes its cut for handling the transaction. You can’t send it anonymously, just becauss vou know it is needed. The government does not hold with any such ideas. Send it if you want to but don’t hother to mak¢ a note of it on your expense sheet. It will not be allowed as a deduction. 2 You can’t win. So. send the coal or the groceries ust because vou enjoy doing a little something for folks. Forget the deduction. Not As Easy As It Looks According to the moon-shooters, the state of weight- lessness is a heavy burden. This seems to cancel, out all those wonderful pix of folks on the moon leaping over obstacles, soaring up mountains by their fingertips, and otherwise acting as if mounted on automatic pogo-sticks, Judging from the manner in which the Gemini astro- nauts perspire while space-walking, all is not what it had seemed. / ; From the days of Jules Verne. who first fancied the nrojectile to the moon and the submarine. up until the first astronaut stepped out into space and made heavy weather of returning to his capsule, we have been delud- ing ourselves about this business of presure and coun- ter-pressure. We do know that atmospheric pressure has a direct effect upon our bodies. We experience it every time a high pressure mass moves into the area or a low pressure mass flows in from the ocean on the wings of a hurricane. That's what we used to call a Northeaster before we were instructed by the weatherman. Ever wonder why your feet swell or your joints feel too large for their capsules in wet or hvmid weather? It's the lack of pressure outside. Lack of pressure permits all your body fluids to swell, including the fluids in your joints. When the weather clears, and a hioh pressure airmass moves into the area. with bright sunshine and a bracing breeze, vour body fluids resvond, and the swelline goes down. There's enouch atmospheric pressure to balance off the inside pressure, Everybody familiar with what happens to deepsea divers knows what happens when » diver comes up too rapidlv from the heavv denths of the seas, Haw could vou miss it? The T-V screens are filled with divers un- dergoine decompression in specially built chambers, Any time you change your environment drastically, you are going tn pay for it. Like the folks who fly halfwav around the world in a plane, eat at odd times, lose their proper sleep, upset their built-in mechanisms of behavior patterns, Jt takes awhila to get hack ta normal living, re-set the clncks, and make up for lest sleen. If you are accustomed to eating nothine hefora noon, and are suddenly confronted with a five conrse dinner at 3 a.m. you are out of whack without realizine it. Those astronauts whizzine round the elobe, sunset and sunrise collidine with each other in mid-space, are up acainst something which is just as exhausting as weightlessness. Train yourself to wake up at 6 a.m. without an alarm clock in one section of the country, and see what happens when you move two time zones to the west. SAVE ON PRINTING COSTS.

Safety Valve LEST WE MISUNDERSTAND Dear Editor: For several weeks I have been trying to get the story across to Chief Alexander McCullough resign- ed his position in Dallas Borough to accept employment at Glen Mills Industrial School, the type of work that “Sandy” was formerly engaged in. It is regrettable that a misunder- standing may have caused that de- cision. Several weeks ago Mr. Mc- Cullough was quoted in an article connection nor did he make a state- ment on the same. ~ Many were sorry to hear that he had resigned. It has been my ex- ful and on the job. If this letter will help to rectify matters then it has served its purpose.

Anderson | TO OUR VETERANS { Dear Pellows: | | | On September 1 President John- son signed Bill No. HR-17419, This | is one of the most important bills | — DALLAS, PENNBYLVANIA From— ill P Pillar To Post... by HIX So, caught you napping! Fall doesn’t start until tomorrow, in spite of what you learned in school. Ralph Rood used to straighten us out on these things. “Fall can start as late as September 23,” he pontificated, ‘and spring can start as late as March 23. The Arbitrary dates of Sep- tember 21 and March 21 are approximate only.” So, the Autumnal Equinox this year is on Friday, instead of in the past tense. ’ . Officials at the Dallas Rotary Club Fall Fair were chewing their fingernails on Saturday. ‘What can you expect?” they mourned, “It’s an equinoctial storm coming up.” “Nonsense,” we encouraged, “it's going to be a beautiful day and so is tomorrow. We have a direct pipeline to the weatherman.” “But what about the Equinox?” “That Equinox is not due until Friday, and we won't get any rain out of it until at least Tuesday. And then, let it pour.” Each day, it is just a bit darker in the morning, and night comes a bit sooner, Over the period of a week, there is a perceptible difference in the shadow cast at noonday by the big maple at the entrance of the driveway. Little by little, it has crept up the drive, so that now the car stands in the shade at lunch time instead of in the glare of the sun. B % There is a bluer cast to the far hills, a nip in the air, and a feel- ing that summer is really over. ) : g / It has been the hottest summer for years. Doors which have usually been closed at night against the early morning chill, have been permitted to stand gratefully open, to collect all the, coolness possible ‘as a bulwark against the scorching heat. A mere whisper of breeze through the house during the daytime has kept the interior delightfully cool. There’s something about a double-planked house that withstands the heat and the cold. An Equinoctial storm may be roaring outside, but unless you look out the window, you'd never know that the branches were lashing and the gutters flooding. 4 Unless you go up into the attic, you can’t hear the rain on the roof. On the tin roofs in Old Baltimore, during a sudden summer shower, the rain drummed deafeningly. It was a lovely soothing sound, bringing promise of relief from heat that settled like a blanket over the brick pavements and the bricked yards and the bricked red rows of houses and the cobbled streets. There was no escape from the heat except for those sudden reprieves when the rain washed the roofs and the storm drains car- ried the heat down to the Great Bay for a brief interval. Here in our green hills there is no such heat. Maybe we get a little hot under the collar when the temperatures soars into the nineties, but there is never such a thing as not being able to sleep at night, 2 And now, summer is over, and fall is already here, no matter what the calendar says. : 3 We almost had frost a couple of nights ago. Folks were out cutting their flowers when they saw that clear green band of light close to the horizon at sunset. Places in the high Poconos got a little. Frost has a way of skipping some places, settling on others. Around the Lake, with warm air rising during’ the night from the water, the frost holds off, while in fields a mile distant, the ground ig white. That first frost, when smoke rises from the roofs, lapped up by the early morning sun . . . that's a milestone in the year. A preamble to rushing out at midnight after a warning over the T-V, to search for an all-night service station, = And that, brother, is where an air-cooled engine lets you sleep’ nights. Tt can't freeze up and crack the engine block. At this point, the sun is rising and setting in the same spots it selected for its rising and its settings away back at the time of the Vernal Equinox in March. And it would be a nice idea if we could get rid of Daylight Say- ing at the end of this month instead of the end of October. It's that morning gloom that gets everybody. Fine all summer, but summer’s gone. Or will be tomorrow. : # i > v.— » ever signed, as all Veterans who Wesley Robert Jackson 2 Forrest H.
