Our place is buzzing with life.
Not that this life makes much
noise—although there doubtless
is a great deal of sound in the air
of buzzing insects, of high-fre-
quency bird song and no telling
what other sounds. What kind of
noise do the growing plants
make? The pond itself is always
astir with creature movement
beneath the surface. And at the
pond edge there are sounds in
the low-frequency range such as
the bullfrog’s deep ker-tunk!
We enjoy this activity, this life
all around us.
Some of these signs of abund-
ant life are due to my tempor-
ary muscular pains that have
made the simple act of putting
on socks and tying shoes out of
the question. And so the lawn
has gone unmowed, weeds un-
sickled, unpulled. Our trees
which we so delighted to set out
when they were little are now
making us like a small forest.

school bus
inspection
due August
The annual inspection of ve-
hicles to be used for the trans-
portation of school pupils during
the 1970-71 term will take place
in August. The Pennsylvania
State Police have requested the
Luzerne County Schools office
to notify contractors of the time,
place and dates designated for
the annual inspection.
The Motor Vehicle Code pro-
vides that the owner of every
vehicle which is to be used for
the transportation of school
children shall submit such
vehicle to the State Police to de-
termine whether such vehicle
conforms with the provision en-
acted. P.L. 588, 1963, states that
no school bus shall be equipped
with a radio, or have one instal-
led, except for Civil Defense
purposes.
Two places have been listed in
the Back Mountain Area. The
police will be at Dallas Junior-
Senior High School, Aug. 18,
from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and at
Leon Emanuel’s Garage,
Orange, Aug. 24 and 25, from 8
a.m. until 4 p.m.
Buses are to be taken to the
nearest inspection area. All
equipment should be inspected
according to schedule. School
bus signs should be covered
while enroute for inspections.
Administrators are urged to
review the Revised Minimum
Standards for School Buses with
contractors.

My Typewriter Talks
by The Rev. Charles H. Gilbert
But they are beautiful as nature
is beautiful.
The surface of our pond has
been fascinating to watch as the
changing air currents keep the
green mass moving, swirling,
shifting front to back, side to
side and then again leaving it
unbroken all over with bright
green.
The other day I said to Cath-
erine, ‘‘You know, I would like
to see what that green stuff
looks like under a magnifying
glass.” And she replied, “That
would not be hard to arrange.”
And she took a paper cup to the
pond edge and brought me back
a sample of the surface. Under
the glass I was amazed to see
that it was not a slimy scum but
a garden of life such as I had not
imagined.
There are two different kinds -
of Duck Weed, one with floating
leaves and dangling roots as de-
licate as a fairy plantation. And
joining with these well-formed
plants were tiny bulblets with
out roots or leaves but with the
same chlorophyl-packed green
floating idly about, clean as
could be in water clear as a
spring. I would not say that the
water would stand state health
inspection as drinking water. It
may be loaded with germs! But
the little people of the pond
must enjoy the superabundance
of fresh vegetables provided for
them. When ducks descend for a
swim, they find ready at hand
enough greenery to scoop up in
their ample bills and they turn it
into wholesome duckmeat—I
guess. Never ate any of the
lovely creatures!
But when I took out at this
quarter of an acre or so of rich
emerald loveliness; I try to im-
agine how many millions or bil-
lions of such little plantlets
there are. Life, life!
HUMAN LIFE AND
ELECTRIC LIGHT
Some company is erecting
steel towers along the skyline
down the hill from us. The steel
work looks artistic and strong.
It had better be! They are being
called on to carry the weight of
wires which soon will be hum-
ming with high voltages of
power linking many companies
and communities together.
But recently it came to me
that some men have to go to
dizzy heights to make this possi-
ble. And because I am a sheer
coward at the very thought of
high places I was almost horri-
fied to see hanging from one of
those high crossarms on a tower
a cable ladder, the bottom end
of it swinging free. Question:
How does anybody ever get to
climb such a ladder? How can
his stomach stand the swinging
back and forth?
Probably some truck squirms
up the rough ground to the foot
of this tower. Perhaps they
erect an extension ladder up to
meet the bottom of that one
swinging in space. Who under
the sun has nerve enough to
climb up the extension, catch
hold of that one hanging from
the stars, and do any kind of
work up there? Such, for in-
stance as fastening the wire in
place to the insulators?
Good gracious! What a lot of
trouble somebody has to go to in
order that I may have light for
my typewriting, hot water for
my showerbath, hotter water
for my coffee, sparks to ignite
the oil in my furnace, turn the
blower that circulates the heat,
etc. and etc.! Human life out
there, up there!
BIG NEWS AT OUR HOUSE
I am in the process of mimeo-
graphing my regular bi-month-
ly news letter called Jots from
Dot. This issue is telling of the
new furlough plans the mission
board is putting into operation,
that of making furloughs of its
missionaires shorter and more
often. Our daughter Dorothy
has been having one furlough
year and four years to a term of
service. This new plan will
bring her home this fall and she
will return to Africa after
Christmas. She has been a mis-
sionary nurse in Africa since
1952. Soon she will be packing
up for her trip home.
Part of the treatment for this
muscular pain has been the
taking of some medicine during
which time I am forbidden to
drive. By the time this gets
printed, however, that medicine
will be all gone and I will be
driving again. This emergency
has made Catherine the only
one at the wheel wherever I
needed to go.
On July 21, 1873, Jesse James
and his gang held up the Rock
Island Express at Adair, Iowa,
and escaped with $3000.
