Then everyone could say, “I wonder who's Kissinger now?” And I see where former Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz has just cut a record extolling the virtues of the American farmer. If his singing is as bad as his joke telling he’ll probably fall on his name again. Of course he has a fighting chance with this one. He didn’t record it on an airplane. I understand actor Fred McMurray has a terrible problem these days. He’s unhappy about a group of nude bathers on the beach in front of his California home. It seems that if he goes up to the third floor, stands on a chair and looks out the window he can see them cavorting in the buff. His problem? He's getting too old to lug that chair up all those stairs. Mohammed Ali has a candy bar named after him now. Chocolate covered tongue? And how about the recent ‘Sex for Favors’ scandal in PennDOT? Puts a new twist on the old riddle: “Why does a PennDOT official cross the road?”’ “To get what’s on the other ‘side.”’ When those fellows play chicken, they ain’t foolin. Or-when those fellows play chicken-they play CHICKEN! And all this time you thought they were leaning on their shovels because they were tired from working too hard. Speaking of which-Why is it that a married man lives longer than a bachelor, but an unmarried woman outlives her married sister? Or does it just seem that way? And I saw a startling statistic the other day. There are more men in mental institutions in this country than women. Just goes to show who’s by Howard J. Grossman In a short two years, a new census will be taken in the United States. Within two years after that, the de- tailed information will be made avail- able as to the extent of population changes and other characteristics throughout the country. What will these results be in Northeastern Pennsylvania? Will the Back Mountain in Luzerne County show the positive growth rates which many characterize for this area? Will Mountaintop in Luzerne County continue to be a residential community sharing in the growth rate of the County? Will the Abingtons in Lackawanna County demonstrate the growth which is attributed to this area? And more importantly, will the urban centers of Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, Pottsville, and other cities reveal the decreases in population which many experts predict has happened already? Additionally, will the .four county Pocono Mountain area consisting of Wayne, Pike, Monroe and Carbon show the growth rates which have been attributed to them as the fastest growing area of Pennsylvania? There isa need te=analyze the statistics which will be generated as a result of the 1980 Census of Popula- tion, Housing, and related charac- teristics. For example, will the 1980 census reveal the continuing growth of our senior citizen age group which already is an extremely high percent- age of the total population, 13.2 per- cent with indications that this trend’ is. continuing?

Dallas Schools announce bus routes for elementary pupils. sylvania are growing and parts con- tinue to stagnate. Communties vary as to their ability to respond to citizen needs, and tax rates become more important as the family structure in Northeastern Pennsylvania turns more toward fixed incomes and transfer payments for income sup- port rather than job development and job security. The 1980 census will be crucial in establishing new bench mark data to carry out economic strategies which hopefully will enable the region to im- prove its standing in the ranking of economic areas and regions. The Census carries with it temend- ous impact on the financial resources available for communities. Revenue sharing dollars and many other federal programs are geared to population data as well as age group information which will become avail- able in 1980 to replace the 1970 in- formation. Just as important is the new dimension of population fact gather- ing. For thefirst time, i in 1985, we will have a mid-decade census to at least give us important population in- formation of an official status. Thus, in a brief three to four years, in the allocation “oft dellars> at the federal and state levels to com- munities throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. There may well be some new facts which will change the course of history throughout North- eastern Pennsylvania. This may be true for both our urban centers as well as the newer growth areas. Every citizen and official should be alert to these pending changes in the region’s data base and use the information accordingly.

And while we’re on the subject-It doesn’t pay to argue with a woman- and besides, the hours are too long. The last time I had an argument with my wife I had her on her knees yelling, “C'mon out from under that bed, you coward.” Actually I always have the last word in every argument. Usually, it’s “I'm sorry, dear.” You have to learn early in every marriage that you get along better if you bring home a little applesauce along with the bacon. Moving to a safer subject, I see where an accused murderer is being transferred from Farview this week. | V%\ It strikes me that there will never be any real progress in prison reform until we start sending a better class of people to jail. Come to think of it we tried that after Watergate didn’t we? Then a couple of legislators from the hallowed halls of Harrisburg; a dozen or so school directors; a few Agnes § Flood (Flood) officials and a few other assorted specimens. Well, at least we're trying. Kinda makes you see the sense to the bumper sticker I saw on a teen- ager’s car the other day, ‘Help stop pollution-stamp out politicians.” And on that cheery note I bid thee farewell til next week-maybe. by The Rev. Charles H. Gilbert Rummaging among some papers that have been lying around among some old and musty smelling books, I found a page of typing that had the word ALPHA at the top. It might even be some highly important writing, sort of a document kind of thing. But that is no place to leave valuable papers that might be needed some time. It was the word ALPHA that caught my eye. Not much of a word to get excited about, for there is no action in it or it would never have a chance to gather mould. From the first Greek I ever studied as a young fellow I know that it is the name of the first letter of the Greek alphabet. Anyway, it strikes me that it could be something mightly important to have as a label. Catherine called, ‘Interested in having a piece of pie?” And I said, “Could be.” Then she said, “Might be a good idea to have some bread and cheese and a glass of milk to start with.” I suppose that is the necessary order of things when it is supper you are talking about. But why does something as special as a piece of pie made from freshly picked huckleberries have to take its place in line as the end of a meal? Sure is a funny idea of importance. WWell, who am I to complain about where in the order of things a piece of pie comes, as long as it comes. But the interesting thing about this word ALPHA. Its the starting point from which you can proceed to list all we know or can know about the world and the people, animals, plants, universe, and constituents of all we know and don’t know. What a brave word! It means well, for in the realization that in itself it has no action, it insists at least in making a start. We had another delightful visitor this weekend. Early in the week came one of those telephone calls which Chase. Dallas Fire Company and Dallas Community Ambulance Association coin card drive will end on Sept. 7.

Seventeen are added to professional Catherine took while I tried to figure out who and what she was planning for. When the arrangements were made, she said happily, “That was Ron; he’s coming Saturday afternoon and will be here Sunday morning, too.” A few weeks ago we enjoyed seeing our neighbor Ron who was home from Texas, so this must be a different Ron. Of course; it’s my niece Ruth’s son Ron, coming down from Schenectady, N.Y. We don’t see him very often, so it’s always a special event. Something else was happening Saturday morning which also required some special preparation. Cathy has a large collection of hymnals and song books which oc- cupy two shelves on top of the piano. So when the piano is to be tuned, all those books have to find some other place to be stacked so the tuner can find his way in to the piano strings. I used to do a little piano tuning as a hobby, but now we leave it so the professional and are happy when he can find his way here even if it turns out to be the same dav as a favorite nephew’s visit. The job didn’t take very long, partly because I stayed out of the living room while he was working. And when Ron sat down and played something beautiful, we were’ glad it had been done just then. Kynarion and Cathy had walked all the way around the pond. Friday evening and discovered that the huckleberries were ripe. So later Saturday morning Cathy went out and picked a sand-pail full and made that beautiful pie. When I was a boy, the proper thing for picking berries was lard pail, but I dont think lard comes in pails anymore. Whatever they are picked in, I hope there are more before the birds eat them up. And Sunday in church. what a joy it was to hear Ron’s strong tenor on the hymns, right next door to my good electronic ear. staff in Dallas School District.
