PAGE FOUR Well it seems that the dreams of Tom and Philomena Drake of gone up in smoke. The young Washington Co., Pa., | couple had some months ago decided | to hock everything they owned and | invest it all in the Pennsylvania Instant Bingo Lottery in anticipation | of having a shot at the millionaire | finalist drawing. | Three months and $14,000 later it all | went a-glimmering when the finalist | drawings were held in Harrisburg this | past Monday. Alas and alack the Drakes missed the gold ring and fell | off ‘the merry-go-round. None of their tickets qualified. | All is not lost however, I'd just like | the Drakes to know that I have a very | good bridge for sale. Admittedly a | little out of their territory, but what | the heck. It’s in a little hamlet called Brooklyn, just outside of New York City. What an opportunity. Or how’s about investing in a great | little magazine I'm working on. | Strictly for gardners, it'll be called, | now how’s this for a terrific title, The | Weeders Digest? I have some other equally fine | ideas. For example...Fragrances are | big right now, and with a little capital, who nose? Isn’t that terrible? This mens cologne is guaranteed to drive the gals right up the wall, or wherever-It smells just like newly | minted money. Or for the woman who really wants | to get to her man, a perfume that | smells like a new car. That oughta do its ~ Can’t neglect the teen group. After all that’s where the money is. For the female types, if you can tell, |a perfume that will have her boyfriend (old fashioned term) talking to himself. It smells just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Or if her Lothario is a ‘greaser’, we used to call them ‘hot-rodders’, a cologne that smells like burnt tire rubber. Or perhaps the Drakes could forget @ all that and just sue someone for $40 million. ; I do sympathize with them however. They must feel like the guy who invented 6 Up or wrote the song entitled 15 Tons. Too little, too late. Of course everybody would like to make a million, preferably the easy way. Actually I’m working on my SECOND million. I didn’t make the first so I figured I might as well start on the second. The first million went down the chute a few years ago when the government stopped paying people to stop raising things. Crops and pigs and stuff like that there. Well as it happens I have 17 acres at my place in Falls. I had big plans to use it all in not raising corn and soy beans to not feed the pigs I wasn’t going to raise and get rich. Unfortunately Washington stopped the whole plan before I could even not buy a plow. So I came up with an even better idea. I'm going to build a wall around the whole place and declare myself an independent nation. Then I'm going to declare war on the United States and when I lose make them pay reparations. I have to give that some more thought though. With my luck, I'd probably win. : But my ace in the hole is this idea. Everybody’s weight conscious these days, right? And I figure on making a pound or two on that desire to lose weight. It’s a new diet I’ve developed. I'm trying it out now and if it’s successful I'll get it on the market. It’s a banana diet You eat nothing but bananas five times a day. I haven’t lost any weight yet but---I'll tell you more about it some other time. You'll have to excuse me-right now I seem to have an irresistable impulse to go outside and climb a tree and swing by my tail.

Charles H. Gilbert The first of October bringing with it the first concert of the season at College Misericordia was a welcome time for us. We have enjoyed these happy ‘room’ orchestra concerts. That is the meaning of the word from the Latin “camera”, and back of that the Greek ‘kamera’. The music is fitted especially for small orchestra and other types of intimate music. That does not mean that this time is never loud enough to be heard. It is more like a group gathers intimately in what might be called the large drawing room or parlor of a spirits drawn together at a friend’s large home for good music. ‘““Camera’’ means a room. And that is what a photographic instrument is; a small room in which pictures can be foused on film and then processed so they canbe preserved and seen again. One thing I have looked forward to is the seeing of a number of people who like the same kind of music I like and enjoy with them this lovely music. And of course we did this time. Then there were others we didn’t know who obviously had a special reason for enjoying the concert because someone in their family was playing a solo part. : I am not expert in recognizing music by a particular composer unless it is a composition I already know. But I have learned to sense a certain type of music which makes me say, “I think that’s by Vivaldi.” I was delighted to think I could recognize that the opening number on the program was by Vivaldi. Usually I am likely to recognize Beethoven by his own marks of identification. (They didn’t play any Saturday night.) Perhaps this is because Miss Fiske, my teacher at Wyoming Seminary 60 years ago, told me that some have compared the There is that depth of feeling. I am not certain that I would always recognize a piece by Beethoven unless it was something I have always: associated. with him, such as the Waldstein Sonata which for me has always had a deeply religious meaning. Have I already written about a musical friend’s comment about my picture? “You look like my idea of the prophet Isaiah.” I liked hearing that, for I like Isaiah, whose book contains many of my favorite verses and chapters that I like a great deal. The 53rd is one which some scholars say was surely a part of the scriptures that Jesus himself patterned his life upon. And there are also passages which the Christian world associates Tunkhannock celebrated her 101 birthday today. The sophomores of Noxen High School held a party at the school recently.

(Cathy says it’s hard just to read some of those verses because they have been sung so many times it seems as if they were meant to be sung.) Jesus’ first sermon was based on the part of Isaiah known as the ‘Suffering Servant” passage. When I have read some of Jesus’ teachings where he applied them to his hearers in specific ways, I read and then ask myself this question with much doubt in my mind, “Do I in any way come close?”’ I do not think so.
