Mr. and Mrs. Jack Husband of Cen- termoreland, were among area folk, who attended the swearing in ceremonies at Harrisburg when Senator by the Rev. Charles H. Gilbert Last week, about the time I should normally have been writing my Ming and her son Ron were driving down from Albany, N.Y. for a visit. I'm sure I have written before about the little baby daughter of my new boss when I went to work on the farm as a teen-ager. She was named for her mother’s youngest sister who eventually became my wife, and that’s how I became that baby’s ‘‘Uncle Charlie” instead of simply ‘‘Charlie the hired man.’”’ (Later on somebody decided that lacked the proper dignity for my Anyway, it's always a delightful occasion when such special folks can make such a long trip in the dead of was busy doing some cleaning and furniture re-arranging and some other odd jobs, so she couldn’t get at retyping my column until Monday. And then the weather was so bad that we even cancelled my appointment with Dr. Gelb, which meant that Tuesday morning I had two ap- pointments, one for my feet and one for the rest of me. Saturday morning we had two phone calls from Albany regarding were coming, with the decision to try it in spite of the forecast for freezing ha 4 They arrived earlier than we ex- pected and we had a wonderful visit. For supper we decided they should try the beautiful new restaurant in Dallas (which is a famous town to them because of the Dallas Post!) instead of the one at the motel over on the highway where they were staying. We knew Ron was especially fond of salads, and we all had something called an ‘“Un-quiche”’, which was so filling nobody had room for dessert. Sunday afternoon about one we had a phone call that they had reached home about 11 a.m. They had left the motel at 6 and missed most of the bad weather. «People who haven’t seen me for a while sometimes exclaim; not growing a beard, are you!’ My reply is, that I’m not doing a thing about it, just letting it happen, I've often wondered if I would look like my grandfather Hiram Gilbert in a photo taken when he was 80, if I should let mine grow, and of course there’s only one way to find out. It should eventually help to keep my throat warm. It has reached the point now, after about four weeks, where it really shows that I'm letting my beard grow, instead of just forgetting to shave. Grandpa’s face looks much rounder than mine so far, but his beard was much fuller. The cold weather does bother me now much more than when I was younger. But I have nice warm clothes and scarves and turtlenecks to keep me warm, and have had my monthly shot from the doctor. He says .I’'m in pretty good shape, provided I don’t step out in front of a car, One problem I do suffer from every winter is getting cracks in the ends of wondered how these pretty ladies with long handsome fingernails ever manage with typewriter keys. The problem with me about typing is a matter of the necessity for communication, not only across the world in general, but from me to you. Speech is not always practical, especially at a distance. Sometimes my ‘tin ear” doesn’t always hear words as they are said, particularly on the telephone. But one must try to communicate. And if you should come mother’s rocking chair which is now in the living room. Part of our furniture shifting in- cludes putting more straight chairs in the living room because the Allelujahs practice here now during the cold better -- also have room for more -- with straight chairs. Kynarion is so delighted when they arrive, and some of them know how to escort her up to the bedroom or behind the desk in my study and close the ‘gate’ so she won’t interrupt rehearsal. The cats, of course, can take it or leave it without any excitement at all. Twink and Goldenrod generally retreat with dignity, but Snow spent the entire hour last week on the sofa among the ‘sopranos; he wasn’t permitted to join them on Sunday, however. Boy injured A 14-year-old boy was treated at and released from Nesbitt Hospital Saturday after he was struck by a car ‘along Lower Demunds Rd. while walking a horse. Dallas Township Police say that Ronald Morgan, RD 6, Dallas, was walking when he was hit by a car operated by Elizabeth Spencer, RD 3, Dallas.

According to Dallas Borough Police, a borough employee parked the municipal 1977 Ford truck on borough property near the cinder pile close to the borough building when suddenly he noticed that it was running away downhill into the United Penn lot.

The Kocher vehicle was towed from the scene. Investigating was Chief Edward Lyons. (Continued from p. 12) Superbowl --Qur Super Bowl prediction is the Cowboys on a hunch, but they've got to first contain Franco Harris and put pressure on Terry Bradshaw. That’s easier said than done. When Steelers beat Cowboys three years ago most of the guys playing today were only rookies and could be all she wrote. Roger Staubach must be on target. We're curious to see if Steelers blocking corps can handle Cowboys defensive front which isn’t an easy task. Our prediction is Cowboys, 27-24? 836-2971 Family Buffet Served Daily From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. ALL YOU CAN EAT!
