A
IF I TOLD YOU I was still
“stuffed” from the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner I ate this past
Sunday, you probably wouldn’t
believe me. Funn thing is,
though, I’m not kidding!
Since a few members of my
family are employed in the
medical profession and will be
working on Thursday, we had
out Thanksgiving dinner on
Sunday. And, thanks to my step-
mother who cooks a mean holi-
day meal, my clothes are still
too darn tight for me.
I wonder how many of us can
really sit down at a table filled
with all kinds of food and stop
for a moment to think of those
who are less fortunate. Is it
possible for us to refreain from
gorging ourselves for one
minute to pay tribute (or at
least a moment of silent prayer)
to those people who do not have
the opportunity to enjoy food as
Dotty
MARTIN
plentiful as most of us do?
I am ashamed to say that I
did not give these people a
second though until the day I
sat down to write this column -
which was long after I had
eaten more than my share at
the Thanksgiving table.
It isn’t fair! It isn’t fair that
all the people on this earth
cannot partake in a meal as
festive as the one most of us
enjoy on Thanksgiving. But, no
one promised us life itself would
be fair and we all know it isn’t.
What is even less fair, though,
is that those of us who want for
nothing usually don’t have the
decency to stop for a moment
and thank God for what we
have.
If only we could remember
those who are less fortunate
than ourselves during the holi-
day season, all of us might be
just a tad bit more thankful for
what we do have.

AT THE RISK of sounding
like I have just stepped off a
soap box with that lecture, I
would like to take this opportun-
ity to wish all of my readers a
very happy Thanskgiving.
I do, however, encourage each
and every one of you to pause
for a moment this Thanksgiving
day to remember and pray for
all those who will not have the
opportunity to partake in a fes-
tive meal with families, friends
and loved ones. If you do this, I
guarantee you will not only feel
better about your Thanksgiving
celebration, but about yourself
as well.

A GREAT BIG HAPPY
BIRTHDAY to Mrs. Helen
Honeywell who will celebrate
her birthday on November 26.
Mrs. Honeywell, whose hus-
band was a former chief of
police in the Back Mountaint
area, recently moved to Leola,
Pa. Her family, however, has
purchased a subscription to The
Dallas Post as a gift for her so
she can keep up on all the Back
Mountain happenings.
Happy birthday to you, Mrs.
Honeywell - and many happy
returns.

CHEERS to Cindy Lefko of
Dallas who recently spent
countless hours of volunteer
time coordianting Great Ameri-
can Smokeout events with the
Dallas School District.
Cindy, an employee of the
Child Development Council in
Wilkes-Barre, is a member of
the board of directors of the
Wyoming Valley Unit of the
American Cancer Society and
chairman of the Public Educa-
tion Committee.
With the Great American
Smokeout being one of the
American Cancer Society’s big-
gest events of the year, Cindy
was kept rather busy planning
health fairs, baloon releases and
visits by Huffless Puffless
Dragon throughout the county.
Concentrating her efforts in
the Dallas School District,
Cindy coordinated several pro-
grams for the students of that
district. And, rumor has it,
Cindy was so dedicated to the
projects, she even spent a day
as Huffless Puffless Dragon.
Great job, Cindy. Your tire-
less efforts are to be com-
mended - and for such a good
cause yet.
