he izes PE EE EE EE EE A A A AAR A et did ddd PAGE TEN Our neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Harris, took a bus trip to New York, leaving Monday and arriving back home Wednesday afternoon. They saw a couple of plays and some other points of interest. They tell me that Malcolm has gone to Norfolk, Va., with a friend and is expecting to get work there for the summer. Norman Lewis is haying. And how sweet that hay smells when Tuffy and I walk along past! I always liked the perfume of new mown hay. Excepting when I used to have to pitch it in a hot mow with the sun beating down on the slate roof! And I did not like pitching hay when it contained a lot of Devil's Paint Brush gone to seed! How I did sneeze! For a few years after the beginning of my min- istry I often helped my parish- oners with their hay and with the milking. But mostly my studies to prepare for the Con- ference examinations came first and I tended close to the books. The guilty feeling I had at 6:30 in the morning when I "used to hear the farmers drive by the house with their milk cans jangling, and I was still in bed! So out of sheer shame I began to get up early enough to get some studying done while the dew was still on the grass. Sometimes when I have read the story of Abraham when he was ninety nine years old I have felt sorry for him. He had lived what we now would call a long life. It was time he could relax and coast along om his reputation the rest of the way. But God wouldn’t let him. He stirred Abraham and said ‘‘Walk thou before me and be thou perfect.” When I think of my friends at Valley Crest I wonder if God has any such command in his mind for them. They are a rugged lot. To visitors they may appear feeble, frail as china, liable to be blown away with the next breeze. But these are they who have come through great tribulation. They have es- caped automobile fatality, they have skipped the heart attacks that take so many in their 40’s and 50's. They have survived blood clots, falls, tumors, germs and viruses. Some have lost all but a piece of lung but get along with the help of a tank of oxygen. Some have had strokes and have lost much of their feeling and power of motion. Some have lost their sight, their hearing, their power of speech, of control of arms or legs. Many have outlived children, grandchildren, friends of their youth. Some have no one to send for in case of i! inti dining | MOLY 2 < TECHN omr>0n [] AUTO cy & A REFRIGERATION [] INDUSTRIAL [1] COMMERCIAL [ |] RESIDENTIAL Service Contracts PREVENTIVE MAINTAINENCE INSTALLATIONS SERVICING ALL MAKES AND MODELS 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE 24 HOUR SERVICE CALL 639-5667 HARVEYS TTT Eh FERNEN MOUNT ZION disaster. Some still remember songs of their youth and are glad to hear them sung. Some sing along with me when I hap- pen to select the song they best remember. In spite of saying, “I can’t sing any more!" They can and they do. But they are still a rugged lot. Many are finding that the God they need is available at Valley Crest. That Christ is at . hand. Often in pain and lonli- ness they turn to Him in prayer. Perhaps God talks to them as he did to Abraham. When we come to visit Valley Crest—and visitors are very welcome—, we can well come and go with humility and re- spect toward these who have come through so much, and still live to be interested in other people. Don’t let these be entirely forgotten. Remember, these are people, too! Two of the patients told me with ecstasy the other day that two Mt. Zion people had been to visit them! Catherine had a wonderful time last Sunday (June 29) when she took a bus trip to Philadelphia and back the same day. On some previous visits to the Zoar Methodist Church we had formed some friend- ships with the minister, organ- ist and some of the choir. This time she made new friends there. One lady invited Catherine to sit with her. Come to find out this lady has a friend in Wilkes-Barre who turned out to be a friend of Mrs. Atterbury, wife of the minister of Mt. Zion Baptist Church to whom Cath- erine brought her friend's greeting. Catherine also con- veyed the greetings of our Mt. Zion church to the Zoar Metho- dist church in Philadelphia which, by the way is celebrat- ing its 175th anniversary! Many of the buildings around Zoar church have been torn down. And Zoar church itself is due to be torn down on ac- count of an underground stream which has been damaging its foundation; a new one is planned. She heard a powerful sermon by the Rev. Joshua Licorish of Zoar who apparently knows his people well and is geared to meeting their challenges and their needs. Some years ago Catherine brought home from under one of the great sycamore trees in front of Independence Hall a seed ball and tucked it in the ground by our pond’s edge. Now there is a sizeable tree growing from that Liberty seed. IONING 1 ICIANS mo—<aam® 5 csssSssasssssss PN EE EE EEE RE ER A edd dinddindin didi didi dining ; THE DALLAS POST, JULY 10, 1969" MT.

There are no set rules or easy-to-learn guides. The shopper needs to ask herself, ‘Is this the best buy for the way I want to use the food?’’ If it isn’t then the produce is not a good buy no matter how low it is in cost.

The Horse Show and Parade at Lehman started off the flow of events and the weather cast a favorable eye upon partici- pants. It was gratifying to ride down the streets and see Old Glory displayed from a number of homes for most of us continue to believe in the principles which she represents. As we saluted the red, white and blue banner, we envisioned the many heroic acts and sac- rifices of our predecessors who tried to set up a standard of laws and rules to make this the greatest country on earth. We could see in the background those men who had served in other wars and our thoughts were once again with the boys in that rotten mess in Vietnam. We believe that peace is on the way and it cannot come too soon. In the meantime we must pray for the continued safety of those abroad. Within the folds as Old Glory proudly waved in the gentle breeze we again glimpsed the great exploits of the men who fought to free this land and open it up to the greatest civili- zation on earth and it seems rather pathetic that with the astounding progress made in so many fields that we still have those who are hungry, casti- gated and without hope. The only answer lies within the home where parents must take the time to build a proud awareness of country, con- scientiousness of others and the will to strive for a better world for everyone. We cannot afford to lower the principles which have proven so well based nor tolerate the mad intent of those who seek to destroy us. If we are to continue in ex- istence we must put up a “ desperate, battle, turning-ence again to a more God fearing populace and bringing true Christian doctrines to an all time high. Only then can we relax our guard and it is our progeny who will take up the riens of ‘liberty and justice for all.” Many of our local firemen helped out in the Harding disaster and the sights they witnessed will remain in their memories a long time. There is always concern for the aged and the helpless. Here And There Mrs. Howard Harri, Brook- ville, Kans., and Mrs. A. Adamson, Lincoln, Kans., vis- ited Mrs. Emanuel Mendelsohn last week. Mrs. Harri is the sister of Mrs. Mendelsohn and Mrs. Adamson a cousin. Both ladies were in the East to at- tend the N.E.A. Convention in Philadelphia. Mrs. Robert Domnick and daugliters, Joan and Jane spent Saturday in New York City, where they attended the his- toric musical 1776 and visited points of interest. Dr. Jim Borthwick left last week to begin an internship to the equines at Yonkers Race- way, N.Y. I suppose you would call it that and the thorough- breds are in good hands for Jim has always loved animals. He will be at the track a year before he decides where to set Daring’s up practice. It was nice to see him home again if only for a short visit. ; Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of the late George Wolfe. George was a man who valued his friendships and was true blue. We. shall miss him as many others will. We were so hoping he would rally again as he had done so many times in the past but it was not to be. Mrs. Sallie Ell spent the holi- day weekend in Reading where she visited her daughter, Mrs. Thomas Newman and family, much to the delight of four lovely grandsons. The Rev. and Mrs. William Bispels left Sunday on a camp- ing vacation which will take them to Philadelphia, the Shore, Cumberland, Md., and Gettys- burg Battlefield. Sounds real interesting and the children will enjoy the historic Civil War site just as much as their par- ents. The entire family is look- ing forward to the relaxing interlude for today’s pastors dead very busy lives. Fred Anderson Jr., will preach dur- ing his absence. Sgt. Frank Marchlinski came in for a surprise 30 day fur- lough with his family and will return shortly to that war torn country. Mr. and Mrs. William Broad, West Palm Beach, Fla., were our guests over the weekend as were Susie and Bill. Our best wishes go to Jack McGee who was hospitalized last week. We trust he will soon return home again. ; If you would like to see some gorgeous lilies, they are bloom- ing in gorgeous array in the yard of Thomas Amos. How we wished we possessed the green thumb of some of our neigh- bors. We were happy to hear that Andrew Fischer is home again from General Hospital and staying with his daughter, ‘Mrs. Joseph Regan in Dallas. il Bruce "afd" Brian -Battleson who have been’ visiting their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Hinkle, returned home to Langhorne = Sunday. Their mother and dad, Ross and Jacke | Bartleson came up Thursday night to spend the . holiday here. Joseph Adametz is a patient in General Hospital. To Host Auxiliary Mrs. William Pugh will be hostess to the Shavertown Fire Company Auxiliary at a Picnic at her home July 14. All those wishing to swim are advised to bring along their bathing suits as this is the weather to cool off in the pool. Flossie reminds her guests that reservations must be in by tomorrow. Time is 6:15 p.m. Place, 99 Ridge St., Shavertown. Mr. and Mrs. Luther Rozelle and family, have returned home after spending a ten day visit with her sisters, Mrs. Trudy Ashmore, Roseville, Mich., and Mrs. Jo Haydu, Mt. Clements, Mich. in Vietnam Army Spec. 4 James L. Carey, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Melbourne L.

MARKE Dallas CUFF STUFF continued from PAGE 2 ment, so I asked her if she could tell us exactly what an oceanographer was, benefit of those who didn’t know. Besides, I wasn't sure myself. Then there was Jeffery, an- other fourth grader who ex- plained his goal in life as fol- ‘lows: “In view of what the others are saying, I would have to say that the thing I most desire to become when I reach adulthood is a lawyer. This is a family tradition dating back to my great-grandfather and com- ing down through my father who is also in this field. ‘For rather obvious reasons, the other stu- dents refer to Jeff affection- POLICY continued from PAGE 2 principle holds. Furthermore, one upstart great power is likely to be ganged up on by the others. The upstart is less likely to start war. Such a bal- ance kept peace in Europe through much of the nineteenth century. A strong China will give the present bi-polar balance a new, and safer character. We should also promote a unified Europe and a strengthened India. The more great powers, the better. A strong China will also be a more conservative China. Pek- ing will have more to lose in war; she will be less likely to risk what she has worked so hard to get. What should Washington's policy be when all these factors are considered? For a decade, many foreign policy experts have urged entente with the Soviets. This is good—peaceful relations are far better than the threat of vaporization by mush- room cloud. But China has to be con- sidered. It is there; it will not go away. If war occurs between China and Russia, Russia will probably win. This is not to our advantage. Without a strong China in Asia blocking Soviet power there, Moscow offers small threat to us and our allies in Asia. With a strong China, Rus- sia is that much less strong. We cannot afford to permit a sig- nificant increase in Soviet power because it would prob- for the ately as ‘Mr, Vocabulary I'm sure he will become an excel lent lawyer. In speaking of His pets, one of my students re marked that he had a dog and a cat. The cat had just-had two kittens—one died and the dog ate the other one! I asked Doug, another stu dent, what it was he most hated. ‘Well, you see,” he replied, ‘I have these three * girlfriends—Connie, Mary Jane, and Judy. I hate Connie.” I asked him why Connie was a girlfriend if he hated her. “Well I don’t know.’’ he told me, “I guess its because she kisses me all the time.” It's tenigble to be so popular. \ In describing sounds of the night the students came up with such things as someone falling out of bed, a baby sister crying, and rather sadly, parents yel- ling at each other. One day we were trying to select a cast for the acting out of the story of Sleeping Beauty. Everyone was begging to be the Prince or Sleeping Beauty or the Queen. Then little Arthur raised his hand and informed me. that he wanted to be the guy that kills the dragon and marries Cinderella. I looked at him in Bewilderment. ‘“‘That’s the way the story goes,’ he in- sisted. “‘I know, I just read it.” Well, those are some #¢ the stories about the world of kids. I imagine my fondest memory will come from the day when we talked about things we loved. After naming pets and parents and best friends, one little girl raised her h{&d. When I asked her what it ‘was she really loved, she smiled, blushed, and replied, ‘‘You.” The other students nodded in agreement, ‘Yeah,’ they said, “You're what we love the most.” I left that day feeling all warm inside. I was very happy I had taken the job. SEE YA’! picnic planned by Harmony Club July 17 Harmony Club will hold a covered dish picnic July 17 at the home of . Mrs. Hoover at 1 p.m, Mrs. dent.

This event would intensify the bi-polar unstable nature of in- ternational affairs. And, in that unstable situation, we would be the lesser power. In the ideological struggle— which is more important if war does not occur—China has the advantage. One answer is for Washington to promote revolu- tionary democracy; to actively upset right-wing dictators like Spain’s Franco and Brazil's Costa Silva. It would appear the basic change in our policy would be to develop close relations with Peking—perhaps even informal alliance. At the least we would steal some of their ideological thunder. We could help build up China’s economy, making her less likely to risk war. We would strengthen China’s role in the ‘balance of power. We would make Russia less likely to challenge China. We may not like Chinese Communism, but if we are wil- ling to support Fascist dicta- tors to-achieve certain goals in foreign policy; there is no rea- son not to ally with communists to maintain our own power and to lessen the chance of nuclear war. © Mrs. Emma Hoover, Mrs. Besteader, Mrs. Nora Dymojd, Mrs. Myrtle Berlew, Miss nie Berlew, Mrs. Rose Llewel- lyn, Mrs. Gertrude Pefpry, Betty Sweppenheiser, Mrs. Kathy Sweppenhieser and Donna and Brenda and Mrs. Margret Vanloon. i — ————— = cm An ans nS wf SELINGO SIGNS SIGNS OF ALL KIND BUILT - PAINTED ® TRUCKS ® WINDOWS. ® PLASTIC ® SHO-CARDS ® PAPER SIGNSY ® SIGN CLOTH ® SCOTCHLITE ° ART WORK | ' HUNTSVILLE 674-8126 9.95 HOLIDAY TIRE SALE 4 PLY NYLON CORD RENOWNS 650x13 Blackwalls plus $1.79 fet full 4 PLY |, BLACKWALLS | WHITEWALLS | fet moxie 1 ws 1 ass 1 22 sad | aes] wey 1 28 Route 309-415 Dallas, Pa.
