Wayne Smyth, a Troy at- torney.) i The nation which brought the “Heath Hen and the Passenger Pigeon to extinction and re- “duced the buffalo by slaughter “from a vast horde of 60 mil- <lon to a herd of 15 thousand (thereby making starving pau- “pers of 100,000 Indians and ’ taintaining them that way to the present day) may not be ..ready to listen to anything ex- ‘cept threats to its very life. But respect for the environ- ment is a whole attitude sum- med up in the American Indian philosophy of the renunciation of greed and the inviolability of thie Earth Mother. Ife can commit the des- ecration of damming the Grand Canyon as proposed (once a- gain) by the Army Emgineers; if we can rape Alaska, Killing its fishing and wildlife and pau- perizing its natives as we sure- ly will do if we either permit. the taking out of oil by any of the known methods of transpor- tation or permit the building Rampart Dam (another Arm Engineer dam project); i we fail to protect the Redwoods by acquiring a large enough tract to prevent nearby cutting in the same ecosystem from eroding the small public hold- ings; if we do not adopt a plan for gur Public Lands which takdfi§)ecology fully into account if w&€ permit mining in legally declared wilderness areas un-, suas sr der an existing loop-hole in the law; if we fail to protect Blue Lake and Pyramid Lake for their rightful Indian owners to mention only a few of our minor ecological crisis, then our attitude toward the balance of nature will be so wrong that that we will be inherently in- capable of the understanding necessary to saving ourselves from the major serious threats to our very existence and we will not be worth saving. Without a fundamental rever- ence toward nature which pre- cludes greed, we will be unable to steel ourselves to the radical and extemely difficult but ab- solutely ‘essential deprivations we face. They will shock even those who are convinced of the pres- ence of environmental deteri- oration but think wishfully that we can get by with less than an all-out effort. We cannot. ‘It’s now or nev- er.” The urgency is here, our very breath of life must not be left to chance and a fond hope that we can have our cake and eat it too. Bradford County residents will be hard to convince. It is not that our people are any less responsible than other citi- zens. On the contrary, Brad- ford Countians are usually more patriotic, civic-minded, and public spirited than the av- erage of other Americans. The difficulty is that we live in an area where the impact of former ecological madness has already been absorbed and the effects of the newer dangers Serving Northeastern Pennsylvania On A Clear Channel have not yet become obvious. Ours is a pleasant, still beau- tiful, relatively unlittered and apparently undespoiled rural county. We still have a few cold clear trout streams, plen- ty of deer, large areas of wood- lands small game including turkey and grouse, no major food problems, and apparently clean air. How can environ- mental decay assume much importance in our thinking? The way we live, surrounded by the results of former as- saults upon our ‘quality of life,” we tend to assume that these results are naturally the way things are; we do not miss what we personally never had. But if one of our Bradford County ancestors were today to return to his old haunts, while he might be impressed by modernity, he would be ap- palled at many of the changes in environment. The majority of our streams, all of which were originally cold water trout streams, now run with warm water, and mud ‘after every rain. Careless imports from abroad brought disease to two of our important trees, wiping out the chestnuts and threat- ening to kill all the elms. The mere presence of people has made grouse relatively scarce. Hedgerows have been clean cut, the birds are not only fewer but entirely differ- ent—exotic imports have filled our woods, towns, and fields with starlings, European pig- eons, and English sparrows. How long has it been since P.O. Box 859 Wilkes-Barre, Pa. ASA 730 ON YOUR DIAL Now we aren’t about to say that WNAK plays some of. the nicest: music around, but a lot of folks will say so! JERS Phones: (AC 717) 18701 822-6108 735-0730 you have seen a Bluebird or heard the call ‘‘bobwhite, bob- white?’ No one seems to know why Quail will no longer survive here but undoubtedly the an- swer has some connection with man’s disruption of the balance of nature. Fortunately, there are not many areas in the county scar- red by coal mining, but such areas do exist. Old timers probably could add further examples of change in the environment, much of it classifiable as decay. The loss of the Chestnut tree was a staggering blow but our young- er people, having never known chestnuts, do not miss them. Even old timers do not miss a benefit of which we were de- prived many years ago—the shad run in the Susquehanna River. Conowingo Dam was built a long time ago. Ever since, the Commonwealth of Pennsylva- nia has wrangled about fish ladders and means to restore the run to a river better suited by relative purity to a run of anadromous fish than the still undamed Delaware, yet noth- ing has been done. The presentdangers, although more subtle in appearance in Bradford County than in our cities can be discerned by the observant eye. Fly in an airplane on the clearest day you can find, a day apparently without haze— “clear as a bell.” When you get above three thousand feet, look around, and you will see a thin line of haze over the entire countryside. It was not here six years ago. Fish in Sugar Creek between Troy and Burlington: the bass have worms in their flesh. Ob- serve the vegetation along high- ways maintained by the state and some townships,—it and the wildlife in it have been Kkil- led by herbicides. Note the vast increase in the number of bird-egg eating skunks and opossums. Before 1930 opossums were unknown in Northern Pennsylvania; some upset in the balance of nature has increased their range and numbers. Do you remember several days in the fall about ten years ago when the sky took on an eerie greenish appearance and the air smelled like smoke? That was a thermal inversion and the stench in your nostrils was smog. Such an inversion killed 4,000 Londoners in 1952, inducing London to adopt a ‘‘green Belt” THE 8-TRACK STEREO TAPE CARTRIDGE PLAYER OF YOUR CHOICE YOURS AS A GIFT JUST ELLER Stereo Tape Club of America \ With built-in amplifier and 2 deluxe stereo speaker units in handsome walnut cabinets.

JENE MILLER A recent religious writer pointed out that too many churchmen are worried about being ‘‘un-American’’ than ‘“‘un-Christian.” The trouble is that the di- © vine nature which man was given as the ‘‘image of God” included the tendency to create others in its own image. Even as man was made ‘‘in the image of God’’, as the Bib- lical witness says, so man also tends to reduce men to his own image of them. The Black Panthers tend to create all white men as ready to rape a black woman, and willing to lunch a black man. They see their own fears and hates in those people who have caused those fears and hates. But, they have real dif- ficulty seeing white people as individuals, some good, some bad, some rotten, some noble. The KKK and other bigots, likewise tend to see every black man as ready to rape or kill any white person. The fear and hatred in the bigots cause them to interpret any- one who is different, as being the cause of their fear and hatred. They do not see in- dividuals, either. The communists see the capitalists as possessed only of greed, lust and hate. They interpret any action by a capitalists as a war-like gesture. They project their own sense of inadequacy into a feeling of omnipotence for their enemy. The fascists see the com- munists as utterly possessed by greed, lust and hate. Any- thing a communist does is interpreted as a gesture of war and take-over. They pro- . ject all their sense of inade- quacy into a feeling that eventually the communists will win. (This is why both the extreme right and the ex- treme left believe the com- munists will inevitably win!) PRE - AUCTION MON THURS. The Empty Pew The leader of the Protestant .violence in North Ireland ad- mitted that he intended to suppress the ‘‘equal rights” of the Catholics. He read into them all of the fears and “hang-ups of his own psyche, and came out with a hatful of .hate. He could foresee only the most terrible consequences of having ‘‘one law for both”. This he expounded in his pul- ‘pit and his politics. Of course, Catholics do the same for PAGE FIVE Protestant minorities in Spain. Whether political or religious or nationalistic, the same prob- lem builds the bastions of war between men: the tendency to create others according to one’s own concept of them. And the hope of peace is still dependent upon the one absolute Law: Remember that men are created in God's image, not in each other’s. Make the world safe for differences!
