The “Indians” arrived at the restaurant prepared to en- tertain at the Blue and Gold banquet of Cub Scout Pack 132 of Dallas. But someone got their dates mixed; the cubs’ banquet is not until Friday. As long as the boys were there, Mike Kozick, proprietor of the Brothers 4, told the dancers they might as well hold a dress rehearsal.

Charles Gilbert It would have been well if through the past years from January 1913 (Good gracious 59 years) to the present I had written a cumulative index of interests recorded in my 42 diaries. If I had, it would have been simple now to find any particular event or trend that I want to refer to. It could easily be found from the index of pages and themes. At least I should have made an index of pastoral items such as marriages, baptisms, funerals. These then would be a matter of official record for my own use. As it is I should find a suitable congratulation card to send to Eva and George whose golden wedding day is in my diary of June 15 1920. I had already married two other couples earlier, both of whom I think have gone to glory sometime ago. Eva and George are still living in the town where they have always lived since I married them. It is like looking up a word in the dictionary to look for something in my diaries. You know how it goes, sometimes you can’t even recall what word it was you were looking for! But fascinating lot of words you never knew existed! Recently I ran across a bit of writing which was done just to give vent to my esthetic delight in the beauty of wood grains. In fact I recorded my wish that I could write poetry so I could express something about the veins and curls that come out when you saw a slice off a great tree. I gave up on writing a poem but what I did write, as I recall finding it, was more beautiful prose than many a poem I have read or written. Now I would like to incorporate it in a column about beautiful woods. I could drag it in under the cover of my title as a typewriter at work whereas it would have been rejected if submitted as a poem. For I have long known that papers and magazines have stacks of poetry unsolicited and unused. It is the policy of many simply to reject.a sample as soon as it is discovered to be a poetry manuscript.

But to mention wood grains of beauty. The most beautiful piece of wood I think I have, was given to me long ago by a man who taught shop practice in the high school of my boyhood. As a teacher of so-called manual training I could not stand him (nor he, me!), because after I had wrestled with a turning lathe and finally got turned out a messy piece of spindle, this professor held it up before the class with contemptible ridicule for its poor work- manship. (I knew how the chisel jumped around on that spinning piece of wood, and the wood itself squirmed and jumped whenever I tried to touch it with the tool. And the tool didn’t know anything about how it ought to go!) Nevertheless in later years, because he was a long-time friend of my family, he hunted me up where I was living as a pastor of a church and offered me a slab of wood for anything I might make with it. I accepted it, not for what it was, but for what I hoped to make it. For the slab was two inches thick and perhaps 2!» feet square. It had stood leaning against the wall of a garage and had warped and was stained. There was no beauty that it should be desired! That slab had been sawn through the heart of a burl from a maple tree, and needed to be run through a planer to make it thinner and smoother. The first lumber mill I took it to said his planer did not run fast enough to handle it. For of course the machine would have to cut across the end of the grain. Later I found a shop that would try it. This time the speedy knives took hold and on one side the wood was smooothed enough to reveal something of the richness of the grain. The other side did not comé so smooth, for the knives of the machine bit chunks out of the hard maple leaving that side pitted and rough. Yet there were distinct possibilities and I took it next to a shop that had a cylinder sander large enough to make a beginning at the smoothing was thinner and now was showing color. I didn’t like the grooving effect of the drum sander. Perhaps it should have run more rapidly through the feed rollers so the drum did not have time to pause in the least as it went through. But I took the piece home and managed to get it sawed into a shape such as might be used for a small table top. There in the center of this golden hard maple board was a design showing a large head of a red Indian. How I worked by hand to make that a thing of real beauty! On my way home I stopped at the big house on the corner where the local Catholic priest lived. I wanted to show it to him. Father Reilly was as Irish as they make them and an adorable man. Some of the townspeople told me he and I resembled each other. I took it as a compliment to me! 1 showed it to him and said I was about to make a table top of it and he gave me some sound advice, but you must judge whether it would be always easy to follow! He said, ‘‘It is very, very beautiful, but don’t let them cover it up with a dilely!”’ (spelled doily but pronounced by an Irishman under emotional sincerity as I have indicated.) Sometime I can show you in our house which is the small table where underneath, not doilies, but things that have to be set somewhere, there is a table with the red Indian center of ORGAN or PIANO LESSONS at your home MARY ANN WOZNIAK BM &MA 654-3988 Tel great beauty. How anybody could put all that into poetry I do not know. But I have enjoyed polishing and sanding and finishing pieces of wood to bring out the poetic lines in them, the poem would not have rhyming lines, for the grain of wood is not that easily squeezed into sounds. When I see, as I sometimes do, on an old and gnarled sugar maple, a burl protruding like a giant wart from the trunk I wonder if a cross-section of that “wart’’ would have a pattern hidden from human eyes, or whether it might just be a rotted and wormy piece of disease! The writing in my diaries was never copy-book script, and often hardly legible, and it has not improved by page after page, under dates with year after year added. Somehow I never feel quite the same when I slip one of the looseleaf pages into my typewriter (as I do occasionally) and give the word of command: ‘Now, Typewriter] start talking!” So I take my pen in hand and begin scrawling! » Bowman’s Creek, Luzerne County areas Real Estate Opportunity CAN YOU SELL? 2 ?
