We are in the habit of thinking of
Columbus Day as the time when
foliage in this vicinity is at its most
glorious best. Itwas on that date (Oct.
12, not merely the second Monday of
the month) in 1930 when we first went
over the hills from Binghamton to
Forest City.
We had heard all kinds of ill reports
about the place, and I was the fourth
pastor to be appointed that year. One
said it wasn’t a fit place to bring up his
children. As time goes on'I don’t think
it was the worst thing that ever
happened to ours, and we all think it
- was a valuable experience for us.
And the autumn leaves were at their
most brilliant, setting off the culm
piles as we drove down the last long
hill into the town.
This morning we made an early trip
to Kingston for my 9:30 a.m.
appointment with the doctor. The sun
was shining at home, but the Valley
was nearly blotted out with fog. It was
fast clearing as we returned home,
and the colors on the mountains we
live back of were bright in the
sunshine.
There is a fall kind of chill in the air
that makes us anxious to get the rest
of the precious house plants inside.

Monday morning we drove up to
Meshoppen for the district ministers’
meeting in that church, which I
served for three ‘years. We had a
delicious dinner of chicken and
biscuits and other good things. Then
for supper we attended a covered dish

Barre; Cathy had made some
delicious noodle pudding, and
everyone else had made something
special to eat. =

* One of the hymns ‘Sunday morning

feet, and“let them “be swift “and
beautiful for Thee.” I've sung it many
times, but don’t think I ever saw it
before. All summer the Allelujah
Choir has been practicing Bach’s
“Jesu, joy of man’s desiring” with
Cathy playing the running triplets on
her recorder.
This was the Sunday they finally
sang and played it in the service, and
as they sang, and that joyful music
went up and down, our young ballet
student Barbie used her swift and
beautiful feet to express the joy of the
song.
My own feet never could have done
that kind of thing at all, and now that
I'm carrying two canes most of the
time, I marvel at it even more.

an opportunity to be in the vanguard
of this futuristic way of doing
business. Whether or not the region

The opportunity is there; whether
or not the will exists to move toward

Historically, the most successful
and most honest form of government
is our Democracy under a two party
system. Almost every municipality
known to us in Northeastern
Pennsylvania, whether it be county,
city, borough, or township, has
enjoyed this check and balance of a
two party system.
One exception to the two party
system is Dallas Township. Here a
single party has dominated the power
for more than 30 years. The minority
correct this situation, but has been
defeated over these many years by an
overwhelming number of votes who
have always voted just one way.
The encumbent power has now
prohibited the two party system long
enough! Evidence of this occurred in
the last primary election, their
encumbant supervisor was defeated
by the popular vote, but now will run
What this means is that the party
now in power has shown a complete
disregard of the preference of the
voters. This autonomy of power
thereby disenfranchises the basic
principle of one person one vote and
attempts to usurp the principles of a
free election.
Now, more than ever before, there
is a glaring need for a two party
system and we sincerely believe that
the voters of Dallas Township are
aware of this. Therefore, we
encourage all the voters in Dallas
township, Democrat and Republican
alike, to remove the monopoly of
single party power by voting for Jack
Dodson and Nelson Wilson and bring
honest two party government to
Dallas Township.
