COINS & JEWELRY 18 Church Street Dallas, Pennsylvania 675-5872 © Free Layaway All Major Credit Cards Accepted Century (continued from page 1) Scientilicadvancements which have led to medical breakthroughs and technological innovations which have inade work less physi- cally demanding and less time consuming, were popular subjects among the young people who sub- mitted essays. Discoveries in the field of human genetics, the de- velopment ol antibiotics and the invention of computers were some of the topics selected. Equality, between genders and among races, was an issue which received much attention from area students. Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King and Eleanor Roosevelt were some of the figures named most influential in the last 100 years. “My idea of a very signifi- cant person would have to be someone who can stand up for - themselves and what they believe isright,” wrote Ashley Basar, who attends the Lake-Lehman Middle Level Building. “That is why I chose Rosa Parks. She thou ghtall people are equal, white or black.” The ratification of the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote, the launch of the Russian space satellite, Sputnik 1, and the assassination of Presi- dent Kennedy were a few of the events students identified as hav- ing shaped modern American cul- ture. Other students focused on more current events, choosing to re- flect on the tragedy at Columbine High School or the proliferation of digital communication and e-com- merce. “The Internet possibilities are infinite,” wrote Steven Cardillo, who attends the Lake-Lehman Middle Level Building. Senior citizens from the Back Mountain, also identified com- puter technology as a major inno- vation of this century. “There is no doubt the computer and all that .com stuff has been the big- gest change,” said Ruth Jurish. “I don't have a computer myself; I don’t really have room for it, but I know it has changed everyone's lives - even mine. That's how people communicate and shop and everything today.” Some seniors were less in- trigued with opportunities avail- able to those with access to com- puters and more concerned about the ramifications of relying on the Internet tocommunicate, to gather information and to conduct busi- ness. “I think the computer and the children getting involved with computers so early on has been one of the biggest things,” said Jean Levi, who manages the Back Mountain Senior Center. “I mean, who knows, the computer may be a good thing but a lot of kids just sit in front of the screen for hours on end without any parental su- pervision. I think they can get into trouble that way.” Many of the people who lived through a large part of the 20th century were able to recall an era in which more basic needs were at the forefront of American's minds. “Inside toilets in every house were the most important advance- ment,” said Marguerite Dubil. Beatrice Polinski agreed indoor plumbing was a major break- through which made life easier. “Now you don’t have to go outside in the snow and use the Sears and Roebuck catalog,” she said. “Let me tell you, that is no fun.” Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose social programs brought modern conveniences like elec- tricity to rural parts of the coun- try was heralded as a pioneer by many seniors. “He started Social Security and got us through some rough times, the depression and the war,” don’t think there's ever been a man like him.” Like Erma Evans, who credits her longevity to alife of hard work, America has grown and prospered despite facing innumerable chal- lenges in the last 100 years. The enthusiasm that accompanies youth and the wisdom that comes with age are the qualities which offer hope to those looking ahead to the 21st century. “Inside toilets in every house were the most important advancement.” Marguerite Dubil “The polio vaccine was a sbi hing because that disease was so prevalent. It caused a ot & of deaths and others were ii Jo iw” Ruth Foley. “I think television was important. Now you can get news the same day. It could have happened 10 minutes ago and you can see it on television. That's a lot different than in the old days.” Beatrice Polinski Serving you for over 50 years as BACK MOUNTAIN LUMBER & COAL CO., INC.
