Doris MALLIN CATHERINE GILBERT Louise MARKS It's A Community Affair Once in awhile we wonder if anybody realizes the contribution which Howard Risley family has made over the years to the cause of the Library Auction. This is private property which is being used for the annual affair, a private barn which is being used for stor- age. Cars sit out in the rain as the barn fills. Each summer, the Dallas Post gives valuable space to publicity for the Auction. We would not have it other- wise. The Dallas Post lives up to its motto, ‘More than a newspaper, a community institution.” It feels that any- thing which affects the community, affects its own wel- fare. Occasionally we get a letter, unsigned of course, which complains about the whole thing. One such card was recently received, bearing a Wilkes-Barre postmark. It read, “I, for one, find parking outrageous, seating capacity too limited. Overcrowded conditions, pushing, pulling, kids out of hand, etc. ete.” It was signed, “Once a patron.” As no name was given, we can let ourselves go. We can well get along without patrons such as this, people who are too tight to park their cars in the school yard for the benefit of the PTA, and who therefore have to walk a couple of blocks to reach the grounds on Lehman Ave. : Folks who are in the market for something for noth- ing. Sure, the kids whoop and yell. They are future pa- trons of the library. It is a community party, and it brings the commu- nity together, crossing all lines of politics and religion, the only activity during the year which is able to accom- plish this. If you are an advocate of ecumenism, you have it here. Holy Rollers and Episcopalians bidding against Catholics and Presbyterians, and everybody having a whale of a good time. : All service clubs cooperating, all strata of the social structure meeting on a common ground, with two com- mon goals in mind: support of the Library and a chance to get together with all barriers down. The more a community can find common ground without straining to attain it, the better the community will be. An earthquake ora flood, a plague or a fire, can + wipe out differences without a trace. People really want to get together, they really want to help other folks, but they are tangled in their own self-made webs of prejudice, or webs inherited from their forebears. The Library Auction provides a common meeting ground. So, the kids push and shove, and fall over your feet as you bid up a two-bit item to a dollar, and nose out your neighbor’s bid. And so, who cares? Pull in your feet. You're part of a community. Be proud of it, and the fact that you have a place in it. It's YOUR library, YOU are a part of it. Extra Room for A College Boy? Hayfield House campus will be opening shortly, and by September there will be need for sleeping space for students. Building plans at present do not include dormi- tories. Dallas, Lehman, and Shavertown are close enough to the Hayfield campus to be convenient for students, who must drive back and forth on each school day or pool transportation. Lehman itself is within walking distance. Property owners who have extra rooms which they might wish to rent to students are asked to get in touch ‘with Ronald E. Hosler at 824-3075, the official representa- tive for housing. All arrangements will be the problem of the students and the home-owners. It sounds like the answer to prayer for a widow who prefers to have somebody in the house, one who might even shovel snow off the front steps in case of emergency. Accommodations will be necessary for about fifty students. Delusions Of Grandeur It is a strange quirk of history that Charles deGaulle should be offering aid and paternal advice to the opposing emissaries of Vietnam peace talks, in the face of a par- alyzing general strike in his own nation. Plus world knowledge that is was France who was responsible for the mess in Indo-China in the first place. ~ When she walked out on the situation not too long after wy the end of World War II, she left a legacy of broken promises, and a ferment which has endured. Le Grand Charles looks imposing; he sounds imposing when he takes the platform; he pats other nations on the head if they agree with him, and frowns upon them grandiloquently when they do not; but we are beginning to wonder if he isn’t just a little too good to be true. He suffers, we believe, from delusions of grandeur. His own nation is seething with unrest. It must be difficult for Charles to shrug this off while eyes are fo- cused on Paris and the progress or non-progress of the so-called peace talks. France has not been so completely in the spotlight of the world since the invasion of Normandy, when the Americans and the British, recent targets of his majestic disapproval, bailed France out of Second World War and turned back her foes after she was licked to her very boot- straps. Or since DeGaulle pulled that classic boner last year, when he invited Montreal back into the fold with the promise that France always had a place for good little boys and girls, and it would be fine with him if the Prov- ince of Quebec should secede from Canada, and form a government of its own , . . subject, of course, to France, ne proved 21 names for home on Claude | zerne, | pass, dents for | abouts | from the Back | Jr. Frances Decker to Edward Cun- | Mooretown. | Ceastown, fourth brother to die of | anthrasilicosis.

If you still’ would | Tike to re-dedicate your eyes we | would certainly appreciate your do- ing just that. | The principal reason behind the new issuing of cards on a local level is to insure the Regional Eye Bank ! an up-to-date file on all the won- | derful people who see fit to donate | their eyes.

The Eye Bank is growing so fast that we are trying to ease the bur- den on our good chairman, Walter Hicks. Heaven knows he has his | hands full with this most wonder- | ful of Lions Projects. In regard to an Editorial in the | | Dallas. Post I have read several ol | these in the past few years and in | fact you just recently gave the Eye | Bank a wonderful plug. If ever | | you need information pertaining to | | the Eye Bank or its function in our own community I would consider it | an honor to respect your wishes.
