A time set apart from the regular pattern of out life to help us prepare for that which is to come. . Once there was a great fair in a large city. The exhibition included all the great advances of technology and industry as well as the midway of entertainment that ac- companies such promotions. In the midst of building to display the great art of the world. The building could only be entered by a long colon- nade which led through a garden separating the building the way he did, the architect responded, “In the building are the great treasures of art. Outside the building is the roar and rush of the midway. In order that we might have time to prepare ourselves to appreciate the masters and their work, I designed a walk to calm the spirit so one would be ready to look and ap- preciate what they will see.” The spirit needs time to prepare. We enter Lent and walk toward the work of the Master. We observe Lent to prepare out spirits; to receive that which we that which is given; to know and understand the truth that is “shown. Without preparation of mind and soul the world * closes in upon us and the business of the world preoccupies our lives. Should we try to take short cuts in our preparation for Easter we decrease ap- preciably out un- derstanding of the event that speaks to us of God’s love. A little girl twirled to the music of the record in imitation of the ballet. Her free-syle form spoke of her spirit rather than her training and her father asked ‘“Why do you move that way?’ Without stopping the child responded‘‘Because the music tells me to.” The child had immersed herself into the music and the music gave her direction. The architect sought to immerse the visitors in a different music than the sound of the midway for he knew that what music you hear dictates how you dance. The Church seeks to call wus through the colonnade which is Lent, through the period of preparation, by an im- mersion of our souls and minds to a clear un- derstanding of the treasure in store for us. If out lives are not in some way different than they have been before; if we do not observe Lent with increased sacrifice and devotion that does not ordinarily mark our lives, we will not be prepared to experience fully the truth God reveals to us. Come and let us walk together that we might see the mighty work of God! by Rev.

Roberts Volunteer Fire and Am- bulance Company at Harveys Lake this week announced that the com- pany’s ambulance service membership drive is drawing to a close. Chief James Faerber said 1978 ambulance memberships will become delinquent if not paid in the next few days. Cost is $5 for individual memberships and $10 for a family membership. Members are entitled to . unlimited emergency access to the ambulance service to hospitals in Wilkes-Barre and Tunkhannock . and reduced rates for out-of- town ambulance tran- sportation. = Faerber said the base fee for non-members is $25 for the Wilkes Barre and Tunkhannock hospitals and $25 plus mileage and crew expenses for out-of-town hospitals. The volunteers handled more than 250 calls last year. Faerber said persons wishing to obtain mem- berships who have mislaid the company’s mailing, may contact Secretary- Treasurer Floyd Whitebread at 639-1879. Faerber also noted that the fire company still has smoke detectors on sale for $24.95 (price includes in- stallation). Schools will be open for pupils Friday, Feb 17, Thursday, Feb. 23; Friday, Feb. 24, 1978. These changes in the present calendar come as a result of the need to close school due to hazardous road conditions on Friday, Jan. 20; Friday, Jan. 27; and Monday, Jan. 30. As you realize, the Dallas School District’s calendar must comply with the state requirements and that days missed due to emergency conditions must be made up. With these changes in the present school calendar, it may not be necessary to extend school beyond June 14. This plan is based on the premise that no ad- ditional days will be missed for snow or other emergency conditions and that the Pennsylvania Department of Education approves the recom- mended calendar changes. As was indicated on the present school calendar, the week of Feb. 20 through Feb. 24 has been scheduled as the ‘‘winter energy recess.”” Unless there should be additional school closing due to hazardous road conditions between now and Feb. 20, an ab- breviated ‘‘winter energy recess’ will be maintained as part of our calendar on Feb. 20, 21 and 22. In ad- dition to the above, it will be necessary to reshcedule the pupil instructional day of Tuesday, Jan. 31 when schools were closed due to the icing conditions throughout the district. The decision regarding the calendar change, which will reflect the in- structional day, will be made after the most severe part of the winter is over. It is unfortunate that these changes are necessary, but both the weather and hazardous road conditions were not predictable. . Please feel free to discuss with your building principal or, the superin- tendent, any specific problems that these changes cause you and your family, as well as any questions of a general nature that you might have.
