Louise ‘MARKS Editoriuly Speaking UNITED FUND ANNUAL APPEAL \ unt THE DALLAS POST Established 1889 oie, { - « ° (D; “a ° \ The United Fund is making its annual appeal. This is one of those obligations which we meet year- ly. We support other organizations according to our interests, but the United Fund is the backbone of sharing, and its needs must be met by everybody in the area. It may seem impersonal because of its very size, and because it covers so many projects. It may not have the appeal that accompanies a gift to a special charity, pointed up by personal knowledge, such as a gift to the blind by one who knows at first hand what it means to have a blind mother or father, or a gift to some specialized research project which affects only a very small percentage of the population. Tt is because of its all-inclusiveness that it must be supported. The United Fund supports those things which the community could ill afford to lose. Take pride in the realization that you are among the lucky ones who are privileged to give. ' Be generous. You cannot afford NOT to give. El ——— A ER Can YOU Afford ft? The usual complaints have been registered with both school districts: “Why does Johnny have to walk to school when Billy takes the bus?” There has to be a dividing line somewhere. The State sets the limits. If the school boards do not follow the dictates of the State, the appropriation for bus transportation is cut. It is as simple as that. The school board does not say your child has to walk. It says he will not be picked up. There is nothing to prevent your covering those big fat curlers with a bandana and driving him to school. We would like, personally, to see all small children transported. You are the tax-payers. You elect legislators. If you feel that the laws are causing undue hardship, attack the laws at the source: Harrisburg. Your school boards are bound by existing regulations. And remember that funds for bus service come out of YOU, as the4ax-pdyer.i Can YOWatford it? 1 SC RC ait. The Essence Is Timing The very essence of a strike is timing. Unless a union has a plant up a tree, with a great deal to be lost if there is a work stoppage, strikes are of no avail." A plant can fold. In the case of the narrowly averted NBC strike, the broadcasting company had already advertised its fall program, and it was a sitting duck. The union waited until the network could not afford to suspend news coverage, and then it presented its de- mands. It was excellent timing, and only to be expected. There is never any sense in making a threat unless carrying out the threat will result in damage to the pocketbook. The Ford strike was well timed, just as the 1968 cars were starting to come off the assembly line. Like a stone flung into a pond, the ripples spread. A strike affects not only the people who work in a plant, it affects the allied industries. Truck drivers are laid off, maintenance men lose their jobs, steel mills curtail production. Public transportation suffers. People who are on strike, or are affected by a strike, cannot afford to go on long trips. No matter how favorable the final bargain, nobody ever regains the lost income. During a prolonged work stoppage, life saving can dribble away, homes can be lost to the holder of the mortgage, gifted children denied the opportunity to further their education. X There are certain concerns which have a policy of shared ownership, where each worker has some small piece of the stock. In those concerns, strikes do not occur, for anybody who has an interest in the plant where he works, is not about to cut his own throat. He is at once a worker and an owner, and he can see both sides of the coin. Each time pay envelopes are fattened, the price of living rises, the worth of carefully hoarded savings dimin. ishes. and money becomes less valuable. ~ This is an economic law, like the law of supply and demand, and is as impossible to repeal as the law of gravity. ? The only thing that halts the spiral is a full fledged depression, where prices must tumble, because nobody is buying. People then go bankrupt, concerns are pushed to the wall, and desperation causes people to leap from twentieth story windows. No concern in its right mind can afford to sign a contract which guarantees a minimum income, year round for its workers. What happens in an automobile factory if a strike closes the steel mills on which production depends? What happens to a managemen that has obligated itself to keep on paying out, when income has stopped? If vou haven’t the goods to sell, you are out of busi- It is ds simple as that. A golden goose can be pushed just so far. tered, it is of very little use to anybody. SAFETY PRECAUTION ~ “Today’s Health”, a publication of the American Medical Association, advises homeowners to “make certain that a glass panel cannot be mistaken for an open door. Apply decals or pressure tape, or place a fairly tall (about three feet) potted planter in front of the panel.” ness.

There were several King families in early days, perhaps related. One Henry was assessed in 1818 with 185 acres. He, or another Henry. later bought land back of the new Bank. For him King Street was named. One of the Henry H. Kings and wife gave the land for the Hall. John, William, Abram, and Ephraim were all owners of large parcels of land in early days.

In addition to the big list of the Ide family, Mrs. Martin Ide Cook of Tunkhannock, has furnished 51 descendants of Jesse Brown and 47 of Jefferson Miers. Mrs. Russell Steele has sent in 63 names of descendants of Andrew Steele. Many lists may also be credited to other families. As of now it is desired to have all lists sent in by October 1. There are ho plans for publication, the lists being intended for reference purposes.

It’s the half rabbit that gives you a turn. That, and the stray tufts of fur on the floor, the strange apathy for the food dish displayed by the two cats, and the unpleasant roughage discovered behind the chest dedicated to caning materials. “Do your cats ever bring the remains up onto the porch?” a query voiced to Myra one morning, brought forth the enthusiastic reply, “Sometimes they reward me with a rat.” ; I do not wish to be rewarded with a rat. A mouse, I can tak in my stride. A starry-nosed shrew, I can view with reasonable aplomb. A half rabbit, I need just the way I need another hole in the head.

Interdependence Of Wildlife, Trees Stressed By Foresters and wildlife live together and to wisely manage one is to the direct benefit of the other. A forest is not static. - in ‘time, young trees grow tall and as: they compete for sunlight the forest can- opy slowly closes. Low shrubs ® intolerant species of tree grows are shaded out and die. When this happens food for wildlife becomy more and more scarce ahd gave species move on to areas of more abundant food supply. However. when a forest harvest- ing operation opens the canopy once again, the esun’s rays warm the rich moist soil -- trees sprout and shrubs begin to grow. Food again becomes sbundant and the wildlife return.
