She didn’t want to leave him lying there, for surely the next car would run over him. But neither did she want to risk a bite from that curved beak. Then she remembered that since it was a cool day she was wearing a coat for the first time this fall. She threw it over him, wrapped him up in a bundle carefully and brought him back to the car. In a situation like that, who is the best person to think of first? For us the answer was simple: Joan Dymond. So we turned around and took the bundle to Joan and the girls unwrapped it partially on the kitchen table. It was conscious, but woozy and they weren’t about to give it its freedom in the house. They were sure it was badly injured so Joan called the Game Protector in Dallas and Cathy arranged to meet him at the office. Meanwhile young Clay and his friend were trying to find the bird in the encyclopedia and thought it would be a nice pet! The Siamese cats tried to investigate the visitor but were kept a safe distance away. While we were on our way to Dallas, the bird did some wriggling in his wrappings so Cathy was sure he was sitting up so she kept patting the hump under the coat and talking gently (I’m sure he understood!). In the parking lot of the Game Commission office, the man took over and unwrapped the bird, examined his wings and pronounced him all in one piece but still stunned. Just as he was saying that he would put the bird in a box until he was recovered, the bird shook himself, took a few steps, spread his wings and flew up into the trees behind the building. The Game Protector told us it was a Broad-winged Hawk, so Cathy looked it up in the book when we got home. That kind lives mainly in the woods, eating shrews, mice, grasshoppers, snakes, and occasionally small birds. Some stay up north for the winter, but most of them fly to South America. Cathy has been wanting to go to Hawk Mountain to watch the migrations, but we haven’t been able to manage it, so this one migrated right into our path! (Continued from P. 1) of the case it was decided by Solicitor Townend that all could remain until the final decision was made. Following the presentation of sworn witnesses and the instruction on the board by Solicitor Townend the board EDITORIAL She’s still talking about the thrill of seeing such a big bird at such close range. 5 After all that excitement she left me at home and went down to Plymouth to sing with the Lehman Church Choir. Then came dashing in to go over to our church te prepare for the evening hymn festival, assuring me that she would come back to get me in time for the service. I did enjoy that “Great Day for Singing’’ evening. There were about thirty singers, men, women and young people, up on the platform, and the same number in the congregation. It was nice to have people from several churches singing together, especially to have Ross Santos lend his strong tenor after the busy day he had had, and to hear the fine things Rev. Bob Harris told us about our young folks on last week’s CROP walk. : There was one hymn: I had never heard before, but liked very much. Cathy claims the composer as a distant relative of ours, Lucius Chapin; seems he joined the Revolution at 16 as a fife player and was from the area and era that he could have been a brother or cousin of my Grandmother Catherine’s Grandfather Chapin. The way we sang it, you could almost see the boy with the fife leading the march down a dusty road. Dallas Twp. discussed the case in depth.

ONLY YESTERDAY GROSSMAN by Howard J. Grossman i In his book The People Shapers, Vance Packard outlines a radically different future as science continues its march toward giving birth and extending life much beyond the current standards. The many dif- ferent ways by which people are this excellent review of the techniques and means for shaping people’s minds In much the same way, the attitudes and thoughts of the people of Nor- theastern Pennsylvania are shaped by history, current events, and the persistent and illogical forces which personalized much of the decision making which takes place in the region, If the psychological profile could be drawn for Northeastern Pennsylvania it might reveal that fragmentation at the government or non-governmental level is a strong foundation of the region. It stems from the days when independence was king and in- dividualism was a strong virtue and isolation was a“dominant force in the The opening up of the frontiers of the region through major tran- sportation improvements and the interdependence between this region and other sections of the Staté and nearby states has not as yet allowed freedom of choice and decision making which are in the best interests of Northeastern Pennsylvanians. Some change has been noted in the decision making process, however, certain projects and a balancing and negotiating within and between the Northeastern Pennsylvania com- munities and organizations concerned with the region’s future. Such is the case, for example, in the establish- ment of priorities for funding of projects under the Appalachian Regional Development program and the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, As Amen- involving the seven counties of Northeastern Pennsylvania through a process which has as its theme what is best for the region as a whole rather than its individual parts. The cornerstone of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s future is the con- tinuing ability to fashion and shape a regional consensus rather than a regional fragmentation. It means, perhaps, inventing some new techniques and taking some courses of action which may be threatening to some and misunderstood by others. Shaping a new region, however, is part and parcel, shaping people’s minds in the region to accommodate modern issues and problems rather than the lingering factors which have region’s potential. Changing the attitudes of people toward their own community, area, or region is probably the most difficult assignment possible. On the other hand, unless this occurs, Nor- theastern Pennsylvania cannot hope to achieve its full promise as the greatest opportunity along the Atlantic Seaboard for achieving a strong economic base along with an environmentally sound landscape.
