PAGE FOURTEEN American Legion plans Memorial Day Parade Final plans are now being made by Daddow-Isaacs Post 672 of the American Legion for the 35th annual Memorial Day Parade in Dallas, it was an- nounced by Thomas R. Sapser, commander. Gus S. Shuleski, parade mar- shall, will lead the procession from the American Legion Home on Memorial Highway at 9:30 a.m. May 30 and proceed to the honor roll in Dallas Borough for memorial services. Prayer will be offered by the Rt. Rev. Monsigner Francis A. Kane of ' Gate of Heaven Church and a representative from the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Little League will place a wreath at the honor roll. The parade will continue to Warden Cemetery at Lake Street and Center Hill Road where services will be held. Dallas Borough Mayor Stephen Hartman Jr. will be the main speaker. The American Legion firing squad under the leader- ship of Leonard Harvey will fire the salute in honor of the ‘heroes’ of all wars. Lake Silkworth By Mrs. John E. Wildoner 477-5348 If nominations are open for an official song for Boy Scout Troop 440 of this area, mine will be ‘Singing in the Rain.” We don’t know how much singing they did after the ceremonies campfire where proud parents witnessed their sons in action and younger brothers (and sisters?) envied their big broth- ers; but they had the rain for it! A nice, soft drizzle, inter- spersed with heavy downpours, started early in the evening and continued all night to thorough- ly dampen the dust. The air was washed clean for an even more pungent aroma of tear-produc- ing mingled with the musty, mildewy odor of stored tents. 1 hope all mothers thoroughly checked their brave Scouts (and their gear) for ticks—just in case the spray missed some in the one tick-infested tent the boys slept(?) in. Ugh! Lest one very concerned grandmother become too vociferous with remarks about her grandson’s welfare, may she be reminded of the ‘‘walking sticks” that dropped like rain on the tent, and had to be swept and shook out of everything in the timber camp back of Shickshinny Mountain, just a few short years ago! The World Book Encycloped- ia does not mention that these ugly-looking insects are poison- ous, but there have been enough round the Saturday night - insurmountable stone wall at the garden’s lower border. Not that they couldn’t have buried the boulder, but young Sam and Harry Lamoreaux need a bar- rier so that all the pumpkins they’re growing won’t roll away down the hill. Mrs. Phoebe Traher (“Granny Grunt’ if you say it with a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eye), who lives on top of Sentee Hill with her daughter and son-in-law, the Bill Wildoners, was visiting this past weekend in West Nanti- coke. Oh my! Granny, you missed the camp out! One of Mrs. Traher’s grandsons, Lloyd Wildoner, will graduate from Great Lakes Naval Training ~ Center school and be home for a ten-day furlough beginning next weekend. Another of Mrs. Traher’s, you might say ‘“‘adopted’”’ grandsons, Duane Freeman, was sent to Da Nang, Vietnam, after having been sta- tioned in Washington, D.C. where he worked in the Penta- gon. : Wouldn't it be nice if we all " forgot politics long enough to _ pray together for guidance and wisdom for the leaders of our country so they could get us out of hot spots like Vietnam and * boys like Lloyd and Duane and old wives’ tales about them that - - I'll not give them a chance to prove it on me or mine if I can help it. The encyclopedia fur- ther states that: ‘“The female walking stick usually drops her . eggs on the ground,” and that ‘the young are neglected and ° few survive.” Well, there were so many female walking sticks ' with uncharacteristically strong traits of motherhood in the neck o’ the woods that summer that I'd dispute those statements, too! I wonder what is causing the rash of throat infections and in- flammations so prevalent in recent weeks. Dennis Cogper’s dad said Dennis was unable to attend Troop 440’s campfire ceremonies because he had a “strep throat.” Our Sally, who is prone to the same ailment, is missing her first full day of school this school term because of it, and there have been num- erous reports of respiratory ail- ments all spring. It really is time we try to curb air and water pollution. Den and Nora Lamoreaux have piled the boulders and rocks they've gathered from their garden plot into an almost TT TT ETA AT ATLANTIC Service Station for lease In Back Mountain Area Inspection, High gasoline volume, Pa.

I think too much has been said, already, about sex educa- tion for our children—but I'm going to add my two cents’ worth! \ I think we humans should begin practicing what we preach and take our lessons from the birds and bees and other ‘lesser than human” animals. A mother animal (and, sometimes, both parent ani- mals) forages and feeds its young and teaches them to hunt and defend themselves. Some- times, it’s as much of a joy to behold the concern of parent an- imals as it is to watch the playful antics of their mischie- vous offspring! But where re- production is concerned, the aprong strings are cut and the young are allowed to do what comes naturally, and if we humans kept our noses out of her classroom, old Mother Nature teaches a pretty good lesson and could do a better job of balancing her ecological scale. Too many of us ‘human animals’ take our lessons from the cow-bird who lays her eggs in someone else’s nest and leaves the responsibility of rearing her young to someone else.

A request from the newly formed Harveys Lake Municipal Authority for a loan of $4,400 was once again side- stepped by Harveys Lake Coun- cil at its regular monthly meet- ing May 7. As explained by Donald McFadden, Council solicitor and acting solicitor for the municipal authority, the funds are needed for a variety of items ranging from imprinted stationery to salaries for the services of a secretary and solicitor. “The sooner we can obtain funds,” Mr. McFadden ex- plained, ‘‘the sooner Authority can get to the critical stages to determine everyone wants to know—what sewers will cost.” To date, Mr. McFadden re- : ported, the municipal authority has filed an application for government funds and has met with members of the Back Mountain Municipal Authority . to determine the feasibility of ‘going in with them.” Expressing a desire to under- stand more fully the Municipal . Authority’s plans was Council- man Thomas Cadwalader, who suggested that ‘it would" be proper for the Authority to meet with Council in order to go over the needed funds and to come to a better understanding of the over all job.” Council agreed, then, to meet with Mr. McFadden and other ° members of the authority May 12. Councilman Carl Swanson in- troduced a contract which had + been prepared to provide resi- dents of Harveys Lake Borough with long sought after garbage collection.

Borough resident William Vincent appeared before Coun- cil to complain that his property was still being damaged by flooding as a result of con- struction of a Borough-owned road behind his home.
