It is time to protect those trees against the cankerworm, that little green worm that spins down from the tree in early spring. According to County Agent E. V. Chadwick, the spring of 1969 may be the last year for the worm. While infestations will be light, protection should be started now. i By mid-November, the few remaining adults will hatch and the gray, wingless females will move up the tree to lay her eggs. These eggs will overwin- ter to hatch in early spring as the leaves begin to unfold.

Init, Dr. Farley conveyed the impression that the year 1970 ‘“‘will be a propitious time . . . by that time the college should be reaccredited and other ques- tions be resolved.” Dr. Farley, who has been as- sociated with Wilkes College for 34 years, expressed deep gratitude for the ‘‘friendship, encouragement and support that has been offered” him dur- ing that time. “When I came to Wilkes- Barre, I was advised that there was no hope for the future of the community and that I was making a mistake coming to the area. “There were times when I agreed . . . However, after a few years, I was obsessed with: the idea that, while building a sound college, it might be pos- sible to use the college as an instrument to assist in the re- habilitation of our community. This double challenge captured and held me. “The dream that I had would have been a nightmare but for the support of faculty, trustees, and friends. I am eternally grateful for their loyal support and for the encouragement that they offered me. ‘““‘As I end my services as president, my great concern is that the impetus of the past be continued into the future. High- er education will be confronted with many difficulties during the next two decades and it will be imperative that the work of the college be continued with a renewed sense of dedication. Only by continuing the mom- entum of the past and by direct- ing it into new and constructive maintain that which has al- ready been created.” Born in Phoenxiville, Pa., September 29, 1899, Dr. Farley was one of four children of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Farley. He was raised as a member of the Society of Friends with mem- bership in the Swarthmore Meeting. A graduate of Swarthmore High School, he matriculated at Pennsylvania State College.
