The Luzerne-Lackawanna Environmental Council is a division of the Tuberculosis and Health Societies of Northeast Pennsylvania and Wyoming Valley. by the Rev. Charles H. Gilbert That time again to listen to what this mere machine has to say. Before I turn with a snort of disgust at my own seeming assumption that there: is any- Saeed a Spr plastic, ribbon and letters I should recognize most grate- fully the almost limitless possi- bilities: of what this machine might say if only I made highly intelligent and selective choice of the keys I could tap, how many combinations could be made with these letters. A thick letter lies on my desk and I try to keep it on top of other matters as I will not neg- lect it. But I did that same pro- cedure last week and found that I had kept my light bill covered until the last due date and about ready for penalizing. I wrote appropriate letters and figures on that in a hurry and also on a page from my check-book and mailed them in just in time—I hope! Must be careful about that. But this thick letter humps up in the middle and I am not likely to overlook it in the shuffle too many days. But it calls for more than a brush-off, for I had written an inquiry earlier to which this is the reply. Twice I have read it over and it I decide NOW is the time to answer. This fat letter tells of the volunteer activities of a man only three years younger than I am who has no car but gets up at 5:30 on a Sunday morning, walks the five miles to a hospi- tal, and there does all sorts of v v rele mmm oy re cn oe wr wheeling patients to church ser- vices, feeding an invalid man his lunch, arranging the dining area for two kinds of church services, hauling out the por- table altar and other furniture for each service, testing the electric organ, and so on. He Crest. I look forward to the task of writing comments and com- some details about mine. But I must wait until another It is a pleasurable time of year, for the rhubarb is pushing up from the ground its rich red stalks. It used to be my delight in P.D. days (meaning very first stalks and prepare them and cook up as sauce, loaded with sugar and most delicious. But now I am not sup- posed to tuck all those fibers down into my system. So my in- ventive and creative daughter got the idea of making rhubarb juice to drink. So she tried it out last summer with great suc- cess. She has me cut the stalks into thin slices, and then she adds sugar and water, cooks it up, strains it and puts it in cans. We have begun the process this year and she has down on paper the proportions of sugar Kunkle WSCS Meets At Dorothy Dodson’s The Kunkle United Methodist Church WSCS met at the home of Dorothy Dodson May 10. Mrs. Dodson presided. at the business meeting and Arline Updyke was in charge of devotions. After the meeting, lunch was served to Naomi Ashburner, Ann Weaver, Ella Brace, Ruby Brace, Jennie Miers, Arline Updyke, Anna Maude Landon, Dorothy Henney, and Winifred Stompler. Next month’s hostesses will be Agnes Elston and Elva and water, to boil up and then strain out the pulp and can the juice. How beautiful the deli- cate pink color looks in a jar! And how good it tastes already this year! For it was some weeks ago that she served up the last glass of rhubarb juice from last season. Now we have a beginning on this season’s harvest! Last Sunday was almost like a day at Annual Conference, for out Wilkes-Barre District mini- sters, wives and friends were giving a reception and testi- monial dinner in honor of our retiring district superintendent and his wife, the Rev. and Mrs. Alfred Crayton of Kingston. It was held in the church of which Dr. Crayton had been pastor a few years ago. They are people who have made many friends through the years and many of them were there for this honor- ing occasion. It was good to meet with so many people I had known. Some had changed so much that at first I did not re- cognize them and had to be told! At the supper table we sat across from some people with whom we got acquainted, for they were lay people from country round about. One couple turned out to be people who have friends or relatives on my list of patients at Valley Crest and who inquired about them. - The next day Catherine ‘and‘I drove over some country roads and neighborhoods where we haven’t been for some years. We were to attend a district meeting of ministers and wives at Rush, at a little church but a working church. It has been so long since we have seen so many silos and barns—many of the silos very new and substan- tial looking. I think a silo has a hard time standing up straight year after year with the pres- sure of moisture and fermenta- tion within and strong winds without, and their timbers often get creaky! Large herds of cattle were busy over the green pasture lands and there was more appearance of doing well than I've seen in some other rural areas. Tractors were evidentally busy with ploughing and other activities. Several years ago I presented programs on the work of our daughter Dorothy who is in Africa. And I remember how actively the people always seemed to be as shown by their questions and interest in what we . were showing. In recent years it is Catherine who gives these programs and I try to be- come expert in knowing how to pack and unpack the odd- shaped boxes and bundles and bags of African curios. Catherine tastily arranges these exhibits on tables and screens for people to see while she gives a lecture, so well-pre- sented that she is often asked if she was ever in Africa! Catherine has prepared a painting each year recently to submit in the art exhibit down town. She has never won a prize but has enjoyed planning her painting and that in itself is a worthy reward. This year I liked her subject immensely and have in mind a place on our walls where it can be hung. She saw and heard 10 flocks of geese come north this spring. I did not happen to hear or see any. But she chose wild geese as the sub- ject of her painting. When I first saw it I was highly delighted. Only she had not yet painted the wings. But those geese stayed right patiently high in the sky until she got around to give them wings, which she finally did! It isn’t everyone who would put wings on three flocks of wild geese while they were still in the sky! But those wings were worth waiting for. I think a great deal of that finished painting.
