I BY PHILLIPS It occurs to me after watching the Bert Lance hearings last week that trying to solve the country’s problems with Congressional oratory is like try- ing to untangle a traffic jam by honking your horn. One is no more productive, or easier on the ears, than the other. But enough about Lance, that over- draftee in the service of his country. I’m calling it ‘“Things you would never have known if you didn’t read this column.” Sub-titled, “And Who Cares?” : short paragraphs; what you don’T KNOW won’t hurt ‘you-but it can make you act pretty stupid. WORK is something that the harder you step on the more impression you make. ~ FOR EVERY WOMAN who takes \ lay it down. ALL MOST WOMEN WANT IN man under her thumb. THE BEST THING to put aside for your old age is the thought of it. SOME OF THE FILMS they're showing on television these days are MANY A MAN has lost the roof over his head by paying too much attention to the Eves. A PHILOSOPHER is a fellow who can enjoy a blonde’s lovely curls, while knowing they have black roots. REGRET is to human beings what wallowing in. WITH TODAY'S COST OF LIVING many a young couple find themselves at the end of their rope as soon as the knots tied. MANY A YOUNG COUPLE who get married hoping their ship will come in wind up with a raft full of kids. WE WORRY about the Russians, then get run over by the neighbor’s car. WE WORRY about crashing in an airplane then fall off a ladder painting the house. WE WORRY about getting enough exercise, then drive two blocks for a pack of cigarettes. TO A YOUNGSTER there are three tastes: Sweet, Sour and Spinach. SOME PEOPLE are like blotters. wards. WHEN ALL IS SAID and done, more is said than done. AND FINALLY not so short but: When those who insist so loudly upon their rights become equally in- sistant upon their obligations, this will be a much better world in which to live. Let them first be obedient to those laws which most people accept as reasonable and just. Let them first recognize that other’s have rights, too, and so conduct them- selves so that anyone can fee safe and his own rights secure in his presence. Let them realize that obligations are an essential part of rights, and the first step toward securing one’s rights is to fulfill one’s obligations. ‘Til next week - Keep Happy. by the Rev. Charles H. Gilbert The 15th of September almost passed by without thinking of it as any particularly important day in my life. But it was a greater day than I realized at the time when in 1916 I packed my suitcase full enough to My trunk, the traditional old trunk, 1 had packed with bedclothing and other needs for living away from home in a strange place under fall and winter climates. It was my day to go to college. I had been graduated, conditionally, but permitting my entrance into Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn. Whatever money I had to have for the journey and my entrance fees did not take much room, for there was not much of it! I was about to enter college without much money. I wonder now that I ever dared to try. With luggage enough to pull me down, but without enough money or points, I hoped to get some kind of work to keep me going, and hoped to spend little enough to get by. I would also have to “work off’’ those points of condition so as to keep going. How much faith I had to try all that I am not sure. Or perhaps I just simply didn’t know any better than to try. It was a long train ride from Binghamton, N.Y., to Middletown. I stopped over night at Tenafly, N.J., wife lived. The next day I continued my journey, getting off the train in mid-afternoon. Ahead of me stretched a long, long and wide main street through the town. I walked and walked and perspired and puffed and shifted that suitcase, and I probably sat down on it sometime or other. I did not know where the city kept its university, but I had heard it was on a hill. In the distance away from everything else I saw an institutional- looking cluster of buildings which might be the college. It was dist, ressingly far away. But that was not what I was looking for; it was an insane asylum for women...no place’ for me! I turned off to the right, I guess it was north, and went on. Finally the land began to rise hill-like, and up and up I puffed a while longer, and there was the university. It took some time to find the right office and begin asking questions. It was not opening: day, but I could enter. They directed me to East Hall, a small dormitory. Nobody home yet but me. Bare room, no furniture. So I set down my suitcase and went out to find a second-hand-everything store where I could buy a cot bed with a pad on it. I don’t remember how I got it up to East Hall. I also knew I had to have a chair and stand, and I must have bought a chest of drawers, too. By that time it was time to eat and set up housekeeping. I was tired, and hotter than Africa. I sat on my bed to rest. I wouldn’t bother to go to the railroad station, although my trunk had all the things needed for the night. By and by there came a knocking at my door and I had my first ‘‘com- pany’, consisting of four or six boys about the same size as I was, making me welcome to town and school. I made them welcome to my room. I sat in my one chair and they all sat on my iron cot bed. I hadn’t realized how frail an iron cot could be. It gently settled down to the floor under its weight of boys, and so they all sat on the cot on the floor. I never succeeded in straightening those angle iron legs to make it hold up the cot again without aid. I managed somehow to prop it up on a bureau drawer and my chair. That is the way it remained the rest of my life there! I had nothing by way of bedclothes for two weeks for the trunk had been and it was that long before I had it and its contents. But it was so hot I didn’t need any bedclothes nor night clothes. I guess that is a good time to Stop. The rest of my story of Wesleyan was a struggle, but I loved the teacher with a pointed beard. His name was Heidel, and he was a good German scholar. But he taught me Greek. THE DALLAS POST, SEPTEMBER 22, 3377 O’CONNELL Teacher strikes by Rep. Frank J. O'Connell, 120th Legislative District Here is a summary of important events that occurred on Capitol Hill, Harrisburg, and legislative action taken by the House of Representatives and Senate in the recent week: --GOVERNOR SHAPP PLEDGED TO PRESS FOR HIGHER TAXES after meeting with the presidents of the five major State-related colleges and universities. The Governor said that Republican votes would be needed when the General Assembly returns September 26 to now, pay later” budget passed by the Legislature last month. At that time, no Republican House member and only one GOP Senator voted for Shapp’s spending plan, which excluded Republican participation in its formulation. Meanwhile, the 102 State-related ‘‘non- preferred’’ institutions--colleges, universitiesand hospitals--have been forced to borrow money in order to continue day-to-day operations. --A SPECIAL EIGHT-MEMBER SENATE PANEL of four Democrats and four Republicans will meet next week to begin a review of Senate rules as they pertain to the power of committee chairmen to spend public funds. The select committee was established as an outgrowth of a Democratic leadership meeting earlier in the week, which acknowledged that the Caucus was ‘‘troubled’’ over the disclosure that Sen. Henry J. Cianfrani, D-Philadelphia, had paid his personal attorney $10,000 out of Senate funds and intends to bill the Senate for an additional $17,000 in personal legal fees. Cianfrani is chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. --IN A RELATED MATTER, Laura Foreman, former political reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer who accepted gifts from Cianfrani, has resigned from The New York Times. --TEACHER STRIKES CONTINUED IN 13 DISTRICTS throughout the State leaving 80,000 students outside the classroom. In Philadelphia, a strike by 5,000 school district maintenance and transportation employes forced the cancellation of school bus service and lunch programs. Meanwhile State Education Secretary Caryl Kline suggested that Act 195, giving public employes the right to strike, be toughened so as to make a strike by teachers absolutely the ‘last resort.” -OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST ON CAPITOL HILL INCLUDED: 1) The Senate Local Government Committee heard testimony in support of a proposal to. replace local nuisance taxes with a local income tax. * 2) The House Finance Committee released SB 305, for consideration by the entire House, which provides tax incentives for business and industry to locate in Pennsylvania. 3) The Bureau of State Lotteries released a report for the fiscal year ending June 30th showing a net revenue of $58,797,449. Tne net revenue was only 38.6 per cent of the $152 million the Lottery Bureau took in. --LEGISLATION INTRODUCED INCLUDED: 1) A House Bill which would prohibit the sale or disclosure of registration and licensing lists. 2) A House Bill which would amend the Municipal Police Education and Training Law to provide courses of study and training for part-time police officers. 3) A measure providing for standards and labeling of insulation material. About posters Letter to the Editor: On my way to work this morning from the Back Mountain area to center city Wilkes-Barre I counted no less than 25 posters tacked on telephone poles all along the Luzerne County Memorial Highway advertising the recent Luzerne County Fall Fair. It will be interesting to note just how long these posters will remain tacked to these poles, in all likelihood until the rain and snow disintegrate them. Wouldn’t it be nice if all those concerned people with their little hammers who put these ungodly signs up before the fair, would now show a little concern for their community by taking their little hammers and taking them down. Or even better yet, if possible those in authority who gave these people the permission to put them up, would now do their duty and impose the necessary fines for not taking them down. This is what makes this area known for its third rate classification in the Northeast--tackiness!!! Mrs. Virginia White Sutton Road Shavertown, Pa. Ray Carlsen, Editor and Publisher Mrs. T.M.B.

I am concerned about the growing number of cults and wayout religions such as Hare Krishna, Moon’s Unification Church and similar organizations. However I do question the legality of many deprogramming procedures. If permitted and en- couraged, the same forces may someday be used against true believers in Jesus Christ. Deprogramming is the process by which a person is seized forcibly and held against his will in order to induce him to abandon his religious convictions. Verbal abuse,’ emotional stress, and deprivation of sleep, food and privacy are often part of it. Our founding fathers believed that freedom of worship and a right to choose our religious beliefs should be the right of every citizens. Even when we believe a religion is false, the first amendment gives each citizen the right to exercise his religious belief. There must be a better way to help those in error other than the harsh methods of deprogramming. ~ 40 years ago-September 24, 1937 Frosts nip damage of spread of infantile paralysis in the Back Mountain area and school officials announce school will open Monday.
