Charles Gilbert It might be called the “End of An Era,” or perhaps the beginning of a new one. It is whatever one feels significant ‘about Easter, or the passing of the cold of winter (awfully slow - about this passing business!) and the coming of the purple and yellows of crocus and ‘daffodils, the ‘time when mowing of lawn and plowing of gardens is at hand. It is nearing the time when days will be warm enough to work on the front porch, getting the: wood “panels cut to size for each panel section of our study walls. Each panel place inside will have to be cleared. Much moving of furniture or whatever is oc- “cupying wall space. Place for the first panel has already been partially cleared. Just inside the front door is a cabinet that has a strong resemblance to a portable juke box that used to pour out jiggelly stuff during play spells at the high school in Maine, N.Y. The instrument, or machine, or piece of furniture was about to be discarded and I had a chance to acquire it for with the mechanism, and coverting the cabinet. All three! days it was merely across the - backyard of the school and the parsonage.) Removing the mechanics was another source of a medley of screws and bolts which always come in handy for other uses. Then I began to see with the vision of a furniture maker or evangelist, some form and shape of a useful cabinet. I and decided I wanted just one half of the thickness and depth of that vacated and converted cabinet. Oh for a ripsaw table - to lay that cabinet on its edge and head it into a power cir- cular rip saw! But I don’t monkey with power circular saws nohow for nuthin! So I marked it all around with a heavy black pencil, sand began the long patient process of bisecting that cabinet with a hand ripsaw. All this was back in the old days when I never knew enough to know what could and what could not be done to jukebox cabinets until I had tried it. So we’ll pass by the realms of impossibles! I cut ‘it in two. Then I put shelves in and at- tached (or hung two sets of doors) and all that time I was thinking of an increasing number of 35 millimeter slides that had been accumulating since Dottie had gone across the sea to be a missionary and was fact that Cathy was discovering how much beauty could be captured with a camera. So-- slides crying for a space where they could sleep in peace, and a bisected juke box cabinet wanting to be useful even in its retirement from the music world! Funny, how big that seemed for housing little pic- ture slides, and yet eventually inadequate it became. Well, we escaped injury. - God be with us all the time, don’t take so many pictures as we used to, and so the cabinet is more or less sufficient for its purpose. What has all this to do with paneling a room! That con- verted cabinet leans against this first part of the study to get a panel. We have moved that around back against my desk and so that first wall is prac- tically ready - come a warm day to measure and cut one panel and put it in place. So much for this end of beginning of an era - or something. When the time arrives to place the next panel, I'll have to get my corner re- arranged. I have written before now that my case of loose-leaf diaries has become rickety and inadequate for the 40 diaries, mostly 9% X 6 inches fillers. Down in my cellar workshop (would it sound more beautiful to call it my lower level workshop?) I have completed a sound; stable, cabinet-like case for my next era or half century of diaries. When the weather permits I hope the case cin be carried out the back cellar entry into open air for the clear finish which brings out the pretty plywood grain. After which it can be brought around and into the front door and placed in position from which the old tottering case will have been removed and the 42 or 43 diary books re-arranged, re- labelled on the backs, and the newcomer book, which can be said to represent the real new era, for it began with date of my birthday which this year was Easter. (By the way, I have just looked on the calendar and find that the next time my birthday comes on ‘Easter will be 1984 when I will be 93 years old!) Never thought I'd make it! So I bought me a new looseleaf book, better than any I have had in a number of years. Imitation leather, and one with the kind of lever that helps in opening the ring binding when you want to add a page or remove one. So the process goes on around: the room. More cabinets must be moved. More re-adjustments must be made. And by the time my birthday comes on Easter again---??72? one?

A Peasslvania plan that holds the promise of having model programs for other states to follow when facing drug and alcohol problems is the theme of a 60-minute documentary film on six Pennsylvania Public TV Net- work stations May 6. Titled “Someone to Point the Way,” the program looks at some of the scenes and faces of the drug and alcohol problem in the state and outlines a state plan compiled by the Gover- nor’s Council ‘on Drug and Alcohol Abuse to ease this dilemma. Included in the documentary is an in-depth explanation of the state plan by Dr. Richard E. Horman, executive director of the Governor’s Council on Drug and Alcohol Abuse. This is the agency charged by the State Legislature with developing the . plan to untangle the duplication of services and overlapping of functions that have fragmented and diffused the delivery of drug and alcohol services in the state to this time. Dr, Horman said the Governor's Council believes’ this documentary film is an important way to give the citizens of Pennsylvania some idea of what is going on in the prisons, in the methadone treat- ment programs, in hospital detoxification units, in deten- tion centers, and inside the offices of the Governor’s Council. ‘““‘Most importantly,” Dr. Horman says, ‘‘it brings to the viewer a look at the progress that has been made during the past year and how the state plan will provide the way for cont- The state plan is only a plan. Although many aspects of the document have already been, or are being implemented, there is still a long way to go. Successful implementation will be made possible only through com- munity understanding and support,” Dr. Horman said. - “Thousands of pages of material have been fed into the Robert Disque, chairman of Luzerne County Conservation District announces that three scholarships will be awarded by Luzerne County Conservation Mr. Disque states that any teacher, public or parochial, in Luzerne County ‘is eligible to apply for the scholarships.
