ERR by Sylvia S. Cutler Poet Kahlil Gibran was, is and continues to be one of the world among our young, and his Poetry seem to be a forgotten The average man on the street thinks June, moon, spoon is poetry, and becomes self-conscious if someone asks him to read some. He can’t understand its relevance. In America poets have always had it hard, and there have been, in every era, a prolif- eration of young poets, avante garde, outspoken, many of them working underground, to translate the feelings and emotions running rampant among the young. It is for Rod McKuen, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Dylan Thomas, Randall Jarrell, John Ciardi, William Auden, Allen Ginsberg, and the many others, who must speak for their generation, just as E.E. Cummings spoke for his, as Carl Sandburg spoke, as Robert Frost spoke, as even Walt Whitman spoke. In our midst are numbers of young poets, many unpublished, some being published privately, Yamrus, just 22, who has already published, under his own imprint, Mitchell Books, three books entitled ‘‘heart- songs”, ‘love’, and ‘‘Lovely Youth’’. Sader the same im- print, he has published poetry by Ronald Turinski and Richard McHugh. His verse is reminiscent of some of the poets of yesteryear, yet he has his own way of ex- pressing his feelings. Quoting from ‘‘heartsongs’’, he says “‘at the end of the small hours i sit alone with a candle and a book trying to bring back the tender moments, but neither of us were made for them, neither of us were destined to keep the small rain of kind thoughts we had for each other.” Sinple words, these, but who of us can say as simply as this: ‘‘when i go for walks at night i buckle my coat against the cold; but i can’t buckle aggnst ‘the: eold of ‘not having yd’ & ORS FORM 3231 JULY 1973 What is the function of poets? To speak for those who cannot speak; to turn music into words. John also publishes a small magazine called ‘Canto’ in which are poems by Anne Graham, Michael McCarthy and others. While we don’t claim to understand everything written, we appreciate the fact that they try to interpret for us the feelings of the young men Thank you, John. In Hazleton, a newly formed theatre group is in existence— “Nine Muses’, run by Charles Stumpf, who will direct the plays. He reviews also for Lakewood Playhouse and his articles appear in the Hazleton Standard Speaker. On Sept. 4 and 6 he will do an original children’s show, ‘‘Solly Saves the Circus”. He has scheduled “Catch Me If You Can” for Oct. 24, 25 and 26. More about this later. Andy Pavlick advises that his agency, latse, will book some great live entertainment into the area. We will be awaiting further announcements. Have you ever eaten German chocolateice cream? There is a tiny place called The Ice Store, right across from the public library on Main Street, Conyngham, where in a store no bigger than a phone booth, this kindly old gentleman serves it. Stop there. Ed Gardner of Gardner Rubber Stamp Company has published Volume 2 of “Lehigh Valley Railroad, a Pictorial Review.’ He really ‘‘digs’’ trains, does Ed, and has thousands of pictures, railroad schedules, and all kinds of mementoes of old-time railroading. Did you know that there was an ‘‘Asa Packer” train? He was the builder of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Oh, wow, there’s a replica of a pocket timetable of the Southern Central Railroad, dated January 1,1879! Why does anything old turn me on? And here’s a photo of tracks at Plainsville, Pa., and Tunkhan- nock, Pa, during the 1936 flood. So''if ‘you're ‘a railroad’ buff, please call ‘Ed.

The rally will consist of a dance with all area college students invited to at- tend. Music will be supplied by ‘Carnival’, a new group from Phillipsburg, N.J. Jospeh J. Martinkovic, director of admissions at Misericordia, attributes the large enrollment this year to two factors—the attractiveness of several exclusive academic programs the college offers, and the college’s ability to hold down tuition. In programs, College Miseri- cordia offers a wide range of concentrations, Mr. Martin- kovic said, including the only four-year baccalaureate nur- (continued from PAGE ONE) “means below average intelli- gence’ and is ‘‘characterized by restricted mental growth, limited learning ability and slow development of social and vocation skills.” Most mentally retarded persons are trainable, however, and, as the publica- tion notes, ‘‘about 89 percent of all retarded persons are usually able to become self-sufficient as adults. Many are employed and live in the community more or less on their own.” Mr. Wolf appears most en- thusiastic about the advocacy aspect of the program and about the rights of the mentally retarded. He says that he does not mind ‘‘being called an ac- tivist or a community organi- zer’’ and in that connection is concerned that the mentally retarded be accorded all of their legal rights, including suffrage and the right to marry--both of which have often been denied them in the past. ; The fellows, he points out, are not paid. ‘In the advocacy aspect,” he said, ‘‘no one can Priscilla Circle To Begin Season The Priscilla Circle of the Shavertown United Methodist Church will meet Sept. 10 at 8 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Donald Rome.

The fellow- friend relationship has thera- peutic value in both directions; we have observed this in the relationships which we have already established. You are doing something not so much for someone as with someone.” The Fellowship Plan calls, perhaps most of all, in the language of the brochure, for one ‘‘essential component’’-- friendship. Through a unique one-to-one relationship and the commitment that makes it work, the fellow does his or her part to curb that tragic disease of the human condition, lonelin- €ss. Class sing program in the area ac- credited by the National League for Nursing. The college also has the only associate degree in applied science, radiologic technology program in Penn- sylvania that is approved by the state Department of Education. In regard to tuition costs, Mr. Martinkovic noted that the college has held the line at $50 per credit, adding that ‘18 credits would cost the student $900 in tuition.” That figure is extremely competitive with other area comparable in- stitutions, he noted. : Costs for room and board have gone up at Misericordia, Mr. Martinkovic said, but only from $550 per semester to $600, an increase necessitated primarily by the rising costs of food. An admissions report also indicates that enrollment has gone up with the addition of male students. This semester, the college will admit five males as full time, day students in the freshman class. Others are coming in as transfers from neighboring colleges. The admission of men is not really a new concept at Misericordia as male students have been at- tending the college for years under the auspices of a co- operative program with King’s College, a college spokesman added.
