MOUNTAIN DEWTact is the ability of making a

point without also making an enemy.

Every human being has a price­less possession which when not shared dr used, is utterly without value. That is the spirit of com­passion and understanding.

Conservation officials in Michi­gan desire to populate a large is- .land with rabbits. But they have had little success because the rab­bits had no burrows. The offi­cials have imported 11 wood­chucks. They hope the chucks will dig holes which the bunnies can use.

Haywood Buerge caught 15 eels in the Delaware a t the for­m er Jacksonburgh bridge a re­cent evening. The eels weighed a total of 30 pounds. Laid on the ground end to end, they measured 33 fe e t They were caught on angleworm bait. The eels were cleaned and frozen for winter snacks.

The morning salutation, “H ot ain’t it? " has changed to, “Was there a frost last n ight?” Fortun­ately for com fields and gardens there has been no killing frost, nothing bu t a. few white patdies on the fields—^heralds of w hat is to COTie soon— t̂wo days or two weeks. We do no t know.

• • •Flocks of swallows grow larger

day by day, will om tinue u n ^ .w e realize no more are seen, i i e y have begun a long trip to South America, following routes In the air, guided by an instinct man cannot fathom.

• • •B ats continue evening flights

guided by some kind of radar which, again, man w rites about bu t has little specific information. W hatever sense guides them is so accurate they can fly between the blades of a fast-tum ing fan and not be injured.

• • •I saw a flock of them a recent

evening chasing insects 50 to 100 feet above a meadow. They were operating individually. TTiey would dodge in the air, drop quick­ly nearly to the ground, go up suddenly, make a level flight, do many stunts. They are fascinating to w atdi.

• • •Like woodchucks, they are fa t­

tening. When comes the cold and no it^ re insects fly, the bats will hibernate, maybe in your attic, in bam s, caves, hollow trees. While their fly-catdiing neighbors,, the swallows, take long trips south, the bats take it easy hibernating in your attic. Take a look.

A picture window.* • *

I have a window with a picture —a moving picture. Against a background of deep green moun­tains, blue sky, fleecy clouds, framed by the school tower_ half­hidden behind the curved 1»p of an old elm on one side, the up­right branches of a balm of gilead the other. - A piece of tri-colored wool floats and ripples in the wind. The colors? Well, maybe they are rath er commonplace, just some red and white, a bit of blue.

• . • •Mr. Mountaineer, you can have

the above for what it is worth. Like millions of others I take the flag and the freedom for granted. When I ’ve had such a iricture be­fore me on the screen or on a calendar I ’m afraid my reaction has been to think “corny.” But when I see the same picture from my window and can sit and look a t i t see the beauty of it, think about it, I don’t say "comy.”

• * «I remember the first time T ever

saw another flag flying from a sdiool house flagpole. We had crossed the border into Canada bu t I didn’t think of it as being any different than crossing into another state. A few miles from the border we passed a little one- room s<^ool, and I recall w hat a shock it was when I saw the Canadian flag on th a t schoolhouse flagpole. I realized then th a t we had crossed the border into a “foreign country.”

• • *.W hen I look a t my picture I

wonder how many on the street Ibok up during the day a t the same

sig jit I know I ’ve never th o u ^ t to when I ’m on the street—not even whfen I ’m walking by the 8Cho(d. I t would do us all good to lift up our eyes <rften. ’Try it. ’There are many beautiful things to be seen.—Contributed.

FaU colors and a drive around the Pepacton reservoir!

* • •I know no better combination.

The glory of the Catskills and a sky line drive. The new high­ways were traveled last Sunday. They are open except a short de- to u r a t D u nraven .

. ♦ ♦ *The roadbed is excellent, new,

smooth, graceful curves. The Pe­pacton take lies shimmering in the valley.

♦ 4> *Much of the road has b ^ n dug

and cut into the side of the two mountains on either side of the vsdley. Giant ledges are oh the upside. The total distance is about 60 miles. One may make the entire trip by starting W Duri- raven or Downsville airf going aU the way around. Or he can c ro a the ta ll bridge (never named) near the former Shavertown and Eo half way ’round.

♦Folks who know the valley will

scarce be able to point out former communities. Strangers will find a denuded valley which appears as though never inhabited. One exception is a few houses in Arena.

There are convenient parking places, there are turns which will take one’s breath away, there are little valleys to crpss, there are roaring spring brooks which run down a mountain, dive underneath the road and continue a singing way to the reservoir which is to stop the th irst of a world metrop­olis.

• » »In the upper regions of the

reservoir the Delaware has not yet been stilled. I t continues to hurry on through singing ripples and naim trout-inhabited pools as though on a m erry way to the sea. I t has not yet heard of the great Ham which will confine its w aters in a 22-mile-long lake, then let them out through a concrete aqueduct £Uid compel a lot of work before the ocean is reached.

I • • *The bridge a t Arena was re­

moved Tuesday. The new highways are today the only means of travel, up and down the valley. If there is a more delightful ride in this state, I have never heard of it.

Yours truly.The Mountaineer

Out of the Mailbag

Answering questions asked by The News, Theodore R. Harring­ton, formerly of Pine HOI, now of Bradford, Conn., says:

We left Pine Hill in December, 1940. I started tp work for High Standard Manufacturing Co., mak­ing 50 cal. machine guns for the governm ent After working there one year I was promoted to fore­man.

A fter the war, we are manufac­turing the famous High Standard pistol 22 cal, also guns of all types for a mail order house.

We have two sons, Alfred, 20. He is going to New Britain Teach­ers coUege, second year. Robert is 10 years old.

I own my home on the shore and consider myself a lucky guy, after spending many years in Pine Hill and now on the sea shore.

I spend a couple of weeks every year hunting and fishing and look forward for the Catskill Moim- tain News every week. I like to read the Mounteiin Dew.

County Dairymen Will Harvest 7,000 Acres of Com

The Delaware Coimty Exten­sion Service estanmtes th a t dur­ing September about 1,000 county dairymen will harvest 7,000 acres of silage com.

Five years ago a third of the acresige of sUage com was planted to W est Branch Sweep­stakes, while now less i than four per cent of this type is planted. Adapted hybrids, which m ature earlier, are now being used.

The reason for the change is that research has shown th at com which will m ature to the hard dough stage provides much great­er feeding value than com cut when the ears are in the milk stage.

When com is a t full height but not m ature, it has been found to be 80 per cent w ater and 20 per cgnt dry m atter. If permit­ted to reach the hard dough stage, it is found to be 72 per cent watei' and 28 per cent dry m atter.

Pine Hill Residents In and Out of Hospital

Edward Bowerhan was taken to M argaretville hospiteil Monday afternoon. He is quite ill.

Sixty Seek to Find Reason For Milk Drop

A sixty-member task force started work Monday on a state- sponsored survey of the milk- drinking. habits of residents of New York d ty . Long Island and W estchester county in an attem pt to gather data on why consump­tion has sloughed off in four years.

Twenty of the team speak Spanish and will concentrate on the Puerto Rican areEts of New York d ty while others will be assigned to Negro communities in an attem pt to determine whether one racial group or another is neglecting milk in their diets.

The survey would be an “honest' to goodness fact-finding study” and th at there has been no pre­vious concCTtrated study of milb consumption by ra d a l groups.

Mr. Simmons said th a t ^ i c a l questions will seek the answers to amount of milk used with emphasis on consumption during the precseding wieek; whether milk u used for cooking pu rpo i^; the type of milk used—powdered, con­densed or liquid; how milk is stored and spoilage. Questions concerning the eost of milk as a deterrent toward greater use a ^ will be asked.
