ERECTION A — PACT 2 \ DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA our own world, is a very beautiful place in which to live. That the grass is green again after the burned brown banks of August. That there are small children tumbling about in play, looking up into the blue that was all about us when we were children ourselves. That the trees are just as tall in their sight as they were to us. The meadows just as vast, the goldenrod just as yellow, the stones in the little brook just as smooth and cool to the touch. The puppies just as warm and wriggling, the kittens just as wide-eyed, the chickadees just as friendly. the squirrels just as saucy. It is well not to lose the feel for the world around us, the small world which is our own. A neighbor trundling out his lawn mower to cut the grass. A neighbor bringing a prize tomato, getting out his tape to measure its girth. It was a famous naturalist who said that he had been on a voyage of exploration during the summer, and that he had progressed half way across his back yard during those months. By looking at the small insect wor 1d, Louis Aggasiz had made discoveries of a hidden universe. “A scientist at a microscope is on a voyage of dis- . covery. He may not move from his laboratory stool for hours at a time, intent upon the slide as a different world unfolds before his eves. It is not necessary to circle the globe in search of adventure. We have it here at home if we have eyes to see. Close your eyes and explore the world of the blind. That smooth surface. Is it wood, or metal? Wood, because it is not cold to the touch? There are famous journalist who holds that nothing is worth writing about except the tortured world which we see constantly on television We say that our own small microcosm is of vital importance. We have to start somewhere, to rebuild our faith and our ideals. The easiest place to start is with our own environment, our own personal place in the scheme of things. Have we been negligent? Have we been kind to every- body, not just to those who happen to share our faith? Have we kept our own home fires burning? Have we become discouraged? Have we said to ourselves, “Nobody really cares what happens to anybody else, it is a selfish world, and I will get my share.” On every side you find human kindness if you open - 4 your eyes. oF The same blue sky is above, the same frosty stars i look down, the same harvest moon rises above the far hills, and floats free of the trees, a golden promise. The water still gushes from the little springs, as it has in ages past. The wild geese still go over, a wavering wedge, as they have done since the world was young. A whole new generation of children is enteri ing the first grade, and there is a new litter of kittens. This is a beautiful world. x Xx ¥ Litter-Bugs Bnonymous They're at it again . . . if they've ever stopped. Boxes of garbage, beer cans, strung along the roads in Dallas, the desecrating tribute of the Litter Bugs. The fine for littering is high. Perhaps it is too high. If it were lower, more outraged residents might feel free to pin the blame on the people who dump their garbage. Seldom does a case of littering come before a magistrate, unless the offense is flagrant, and often repeated. Dumping the garbage is one way of outwitting the trash man. It speaks plainly. The kind of a person who wilfully makes a shambles of a beautiful road side, we hope comes from some of the outer fringes of the city. It’s easy to say, “Ah forget it, it's the country, see, and who cares what happens in the country. It’s for free, ain't it?” We would hate to think that any resident would be guilty. We can understand the beer cans, though we do not like them. Give it a toss, and go careening down the high- way, en rout to an accident. What outrages us is the festering garbage in paste- . board cartons or a split paper sack, strewing its contents - alongside the road. With the non-returnable bottles and cans now on the market, we're going to have a ton of stuff. But at least the cans don’t smell to high heaven as the decaying refuse does. Our proposed remedy is to reduce the fine to a sensi- ble amount, and put teeth in the law. It takes cooperation of residents. If you see a car pausing by the roadside and throwing out a sack, take the license number. And report it. Nothing is ever ehh without community effort. : f | passersby had been dropping in to | patronize the situation was odorous.

And here's Chuck; he wants to say hello.” “When did you get in from England, tall dark and redhead?” “Well, we almost didn’t. The engine dropped out or something, and it was touch and go if we'd ever get off the ground.” “I'll be seeing you sometime late this afternoon. Maybe even early this afternoon,” with one eye on the clock. It was nice to re- that while the clock pointed to nine, it was really only half past seven by radio time. It could be managed, but it would take some doing. The sack of apples and tomatoes which Zel had donated to the cause in return for a spot of instruction on caning, was still in the car. Joined by a few oddments in the back seat, the apples were ready to go. There were probably plenty of apples in Virginia, but these were for free, and already in the sack. The tomatoes could be lifted out and saved in the kitchen, all except the very ripest ones. “Let me encourage you.” member It was a very simple getaway. All that was forgotten was the pillow, the clock, and that: little matter of snapping off the furnace. The apple sauce turned out fine, a whole kettleful. Viewingathe ; mound of thin parings and the cores on the porcelain topped ble, I remembered what my mother used to do. Never did she malgge an apple pie without making a glass of jelly. She covered the i. with water, ‘boiled vigorously for a few minutes, then strained. The juice, boiled down, and transferred into a large pot, was ready for the next step. Cup for cup of sugar, and don’t bother with pectin because apple skins are loaded with the stuff. The jelly practically sprang out ‘of the pot, it was so thick. But it lacked color, sort of a pale straw. “Mind if I put in a couple tablespoons of grape juice? You've got some left over from the square dance.” The . grapejuice turned the whole seething mass a delightful color, and it was high time to turn off the heatsand scald some jars. It’s been scme little time since I've made any kind of jelly, though I'm a past master of the art. Those were the days when I had a raft of hungry kids to feed, before everybody started ‘counting calories and using two drops of Sucaryl in the breakfast coffee. Ask me about the square dancing sometime. The square dancing, as done by Folk Dancers of America, is not the romp which is com- mon in so-called country dances. Folk dancing is an art, done with precision, every move cal- culated, the essence of grace. These: folk. dancers give exhibitions in South America and arcund the globe. It is beautiful to watch. * * * Alcoholics Anonymous To Meet ¢ | The first anniversary meeting of | County Center undergo a four-week the Back Mountain Group, Alco- | program toward recovery, In the holics Anonymous, will take place at | words of the group's adminisfiietor. 9 pm.
