AUGUST 16-22, 2018

Looking by Back Ed Pany Christmas 1941 I found a 1941 copy of the Cement News, a weekly newspaper serving Northampton, Coplay, Catasauqua, Cementon and the Cement Belt.

On Christmas of 1941 we were a nation at war. The Cement News edition was a mixture of both Christmas news and alarm. We had traditional greetings from our local businessman, Northampton Lumber, Roth Brothers, Northampton and Howertown Dairies, Lentz Motors, Lahovski the tailor, and many others. They are all gone, just local memories.

The Roxy Theater had a Christmas Eve midnight show at 12:01 a.m. All tickets were 30 cents plus tax. Shows on Christmas Day were at 1:15 p.m., 6:30

p.m. and 9 p.m. The features were “Never Give a Sucker an Even Break” with W.C. Fields and Leon Errol and “Tanks a Million” with James Gleason and William Tracy.

In Coplay, the Ritz featured Ronald Reagan in “International Squadron” at a special price of 22 cents. The Northampton Senior High School Christmas play was “Chimes Ring.”

In 1941, holidays set a record at the local post office. The post office was open from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday for the sale of postage stamps and defense bonds. More than 8,000 pieces of mail were handled during that time. On Saturday, 24,000 pieces of mail were processed.

The Georgian Restaurant on

50 cents

Main Street featured a full chicken dinner for 50 cents and a deviled crab platter for 35 cents.

Coplay Fire Company formed a committee to arrange parties for draftees before they left for camp. The Cement News stressed the emergency the country was facing. Editor Roger stated, “There are few if any of us who cannot do something for the defense of our country. Civil defense is being organized and registration for those who want to do what they can or are fitted to do.”

President Franklin Roosevelt gave his annual Christmas message to the Boy Scouts of America, stressing the virtues of loyalty, courage and truthfulness.

Zion Lutheran Church in Northampton was adopting a Chinese girl who was a war refugee. All this proves “freely given, freely ye shall receive.”

In 1941, families could only hope and pray the war would be won and their sons and daughters could safely return home.

Let us always remember the veterans who served and preserved our security, so we can celebrate all our holidays as free men.

Breaking Natural Laws

When I was younger I watched a close friend jump off his grandmother’s shed. To this day I am not sure why he jumped, nor why we didn’t stop him. I think you may already suspect the end result, that being, pain.

During those few minutes of watching Mike scramble up the back side of that worn out shed I don’t recall specifically contemplating gravity. However, I didn’t have to as we all were aware that whatever was going to happen next wasn’t going to end well.

The universe has set laws that when broken lead to problems.

While each of us may disagree with these laws or perhaps “do not believe” in them, please know that your disbelief will not change the validity. It may take time. You

Helping for 20 years may skirt the system. Yet at some point you will pay the piper when the consequences come bearing down. For Mike, it was an immediate broken leg and a summer full of hobbling around.

In humility, I put forth these other natural laws: Law of Lik-

ing, Law of Reciprocation, Law of Tithing and Generosity, Law of Saving, Law of Eating Well, Law of Forgiving, Law of Loving, Law of Body Motion, Law of Moderation in All Things, Law of Rest, Law of Work, and on and on.

There are certain “harmonics,” if you will, to abiding by the natural order of things. A flow, a calmness, a certainty exists when you are obedient in this way. For some, such talk of discipline and residing within this way is hogwash. It isn’t. Again, your disbelief does not change the reality of the universe.

Broken laws invariably lead to pain. Financial ruin, divorce, and disease typically have a footing in a deviation from the natural path.

Do exceptions exist? I would suspect they do but why hang your hat on the 1 percent possibility? I don’t gamble but if I did I’d beat against the lesser possibility every time.

About the Celtic Cultural Alliance On Columbus Day weekend in 1988, the first Celtic Classic was presented by a small group of individuals. The goal of this dedicated group was to create an event that symbolized the Celtic spirit and history, and to provide the impetus for an organization that focused on promoting the Celtic culture. This group has now evolved into Celtic Cultural Alliance to better communicate the overall goals of the organization.

The CCA has expanded with year-round programming to support the mission of promoting and preserving Celtic Culture through arts, music, literature, dance, and history programs. In keeping with the spirit of “Next Generation”, the CCA also offers scholarships to promising young students of the Celtic Arts. These yearly scholarships are offered to students of the arts, including Irish Step Dance, Highland Dance, Fiddle, and Bagpipes.

The Celtic Classic has blossomed into one of the largest Highland Games and Festival in North America. Annually, over 250,000 visitors come to Historic Bethlehem to join in this celebration of all things Celtic.

The organization has expanded into year-round programs.

Our educational programming has expanded to include community outreach events in area school districts, religious institutions, local theaters and colleges throughout the Lehigh Valley. A series of scholarships are awarded each year in varied areas of Celtic culture.

GUEST COLUMN

A Veterinarian Might Save Your Life

By Neil C. Olson Veterinarians at Cornell University just developed a 24-hour test that can detect salmonella infections in farm animals. Previously, it took days to get such test results.

The breakthrough will prevent diseased animals from entering the food supply—and thereby reduce the incidence of food poisoning and save lives. Currently, salmonella sickens 1 million Americans each year and kills hundreds.

This discovery underscores the critical role veterinarians play in safeguarding our food. Veterinarians are known as the people who treat our beloved pets, but that's far from their only job. They also keep livestock healthy, shape public policy, and conduct groundbreaking research.

Yet the U.S. faces a severe shortage of veterinarians—especially specialists in livestock. That shortage has severe consequences not just for animals but for the health of the public.

Every time Americans eat a cheeseburger without falling ill, they have veterinarians to thank.

Private-sector veterinarians regularly monitor the health of farm animals, administer vaccines, and treat illnesses. Veterinarians at the Agriculture Department inspect meat to ensure it meets federal safety standards. And they research and develop policies to improve food safety.

Consider how veterinarians have kept people safe from mad cow disease, a fatal illness that eats away at human brains. Throughout the 1990s, the disease ravaged the United Kingdom and killed over 200 people. Ever since, U.S. veterinarians have diligently monitored for the condition to prevent outbreaks.

In 2017, vets affiliated with the USDA identified an infected cow in Alabama before it could make its way into the food supply. A year earlier, University of

Florida experts developed a new technique to prevent cows from contracting uterine diseases, which can spread dangerous bacteria to humans. Meanwhile, at Michigan State University, veterinarians have identified ways to slow the spread of E. coli between dairy cows. The bacteria results in 100,000 illnesses, 3,000 hospitalizations, and 90 deaths in the U.S. every year.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough veterinarians to guarantee the safety of our food supply. More than 80 percent of states experienced a shortage of veterinarians last year, according to the USDA. A 2015 report prepared by the Government Accountability Office revealed that the USDA would be short thousands of veterinarians if there were a major animal disease outbreak.

Federal officials are taking steps to close this gap. They recently awarded $2.35 million in grants to support rural veterinary practices and help them recruit more large animal veterinarians.

But the federal government can't solve the problem by itself.

Veterinary schools must help steer

more students into public health and food safety roles.

For example, Cornell's School of Veterinary Medicine runs a Summer Dairy Institute to teach students about the dairy industry and connect them with leading professionals in the field. My own school, St. George's University in Grenada, trains many American veterinarians. We teach our students to acknowledge the myriad connections among animals, humans, and the environment. Many veterinary schools also offer dual programs where students can earn degrees as both a doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) and master of public health.

Outside companies and organizations can also help. In 2010, the biopharmaceutical company Pfizer doled out $2 million in scholarship funds to U.S. veterinary students, two-thirds of whom committed to studying animals used for food.

Veterinarians play a significant role in minimizing foodborne illness in the U.S. The continued safety of our food supply depends on training more of them.

Neil C. Olson, DVM, PhD, is the dean of St. George's University School of Veterinary Medicine (www.sgu.edu/).

Dr. Clearie Continued from page 3

we should consider some actionable advice. For one, I would keep it simple. I’d love more, calm down, save a little, give a little, eat vegetables, exercise, don’t lie, cheat or steal. I gather these are pretty simple natural laws to live by. There are many more I am sure.

In your gut you know when you are stepping outside law and order. You just do. But in case you don’t, I can give you practical, bona fide advice that is sure to make a difference in your life, and that is, don’t jump off your grandma’s shed.

My best to you.

4 ideas to Improve your Company Culture I was traveling a few weeks ago and was forced to eat at a breakfast buffet. Forced may be a harsh word but I’m not a fan of buffets and there were no other options.

They were beginning to prepare for lunch when I arrived. I filled my plate with the typical breakfast food and walked over to the salad bar. There was a woman setting it up and I said, “Excuse me, are these salads ready to serve and can I have one?”

She mumbled something to me and while walking away, I repeated my question, she answered the same way again and walked away.

I stood there perplexed and decided to try one more time. This time I leaned over the counter so she had to look at me and said, “Excuse me, if you would be so kind to come over here and look at me I might hear what you said.” She came over and said that I could have a salad. I hope I described how rude she was, no smile, no greeting, no attempt to be courteous. So the question is, who’s to blame? Is it her or her boss or the culture that the restaurant has created?

I believe it’s the company culture created by the owner and implemented by the manager.

Here are some ideas for creating a successful company culture.

1. Employees first; train and treat your employees like gold.

The best managers make an in-

vestment in their employees, they get to know them, they build trust and they let them know they have their backs when things go wrong.

2. Make sure each employee is treated fairly. Don’t play favorites; it’s natural to like employees on many different levels but keep that in check and don’t let anyone see favoritism.

3. Give your employees feedback. Meet with them one on one and state your expectations, listen to their issues and help them to be a productive, loyal, trustworthy employee.

4. And, offer ideas for consistent employee improvement.

Keeping them motivated to bring their “A” game to work every day and to create an upbeat company culture where everyone works to not only serve customers but to help each other.

My guess is if I ever go back there again, this employee will be gone. Sadly, she might have turned into a productive part of the team if someone with expert coaching skills took the time to understand her and provide her with the expectations for extreme customer service.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Bath Borough can really be proud of their new municipal building located downtown on South Walnut Street. The volunteers put so much time and attention into making it a place of beauty as well as a place of historical significance in our 275 years as a community. It’s no wonder Council had such a large crowd at their grand opening. Every one of those volunteers deserves credit for doing such a fine job inside and outside of the building. Together, it was their creation, a true team effort. Their names inscribed on a plaque will give them this proper credit. Congratulations ! ! ! . . . . It was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal couple weeks, weather-wise. On the final night of Musikfest, it rained again, and all of those events I talked about last week have had to do the best they could as summer is starting its decline and leaves begin to fall. Maybe the sun will shine again for things that are scheduled outdoors for this weekend, even though the Legion’s clambake and Garry Hunsicker’s ham and string bean supper at Christ Church are indoors on Saturday. And hopefully for Moore Township’s Community Days on August 24 and 25 and Bath’s Spuds & Suds on the 25th, and whatever else is going on . . . . It’s wonderful in this day and age that folks are living a lot longer with all the medi-

cines we’re taking. Betty Gehring recently celebrated her 100th birthday (hope to see her at the church breakfast in September); Pearl Eberts’ 99th birthday was celebrated last week at the senior center. Margaret Halbfoerster from the former Margie’s Cake Shop is 96, I hear. Wow! Keep it up, gals! . . . . Wherever you drive these days, there’s road or bridge construction, and that means detours, so it takes longer to go from Point A to Point B. Take your time, that’s the best advice. . . .Phillies are out of first place now, and deserved to lose on Sunday with that sloppy defensive game. Now they face the Red Sox, then the reviving Mets. . . . Ron subbed as scorekeeper for hearts the other day when Tom was down in Georgia. . . .Time for a drink, don’t know what, but I’m thirsty. Have a good week and stay cool wherever you are.

Creative Corner Captain Firefly

by Charles McIlhaney Jr. Fireflies (or lightning bugs) are seen summer nights, some on wing and some on the ground, signaling to each other with their entrancing tail beacons.

And then, there’s the long stray firefly that somehow gets into the house unnoticed, until nightfall when its subtle

Chewing Gum We Knew

Chicle Co. acquired Dr. Beeman’s recipe but they ceased production in 1978 due to low sales. In 1985 they brought back Clove and Black Jack gums.

Sen-Sen: This was originally produced as a breath freshener with a licorice flavor. In the late 1800s T.B. Dunn & Co., a perfume dealer from Rochester, NY took over the manufacturer of Sen-Sen. An employee by the name of Kerschner developed it into the shape of small hard squares with a licorice flavor.

It has now been discontinued.

(Mother always carried a pack or two of Sen-Sen in her purse.)

Juicy Fruit: This gum was introduced in 1893 by the Wrigley Gum Company, a subsidiary of Mars. It was taken off the market during WWII due to rationing of sugar and provided only to soldiers.

Chiclets: The word Chiclets comes from the Spanish word Chicle, the milky latex of the sapodilla tree. It was originally introduced in 1900 as a peppermint gum. Fruit flavors were added later. Some are still available in

www.HomeNewsPA.com

South America, UK, Canada, etc.

Robert and Frank Fleer and Louis Mahle are taking credit for developing Chiclets gum.

Dubble Bubble: DB gum is a brand of pink colored bubblegum invented by Walter Diener, an accountant at Philadelphia based Fleer Chewing Gum Co. in 1928. Founder Frank Fleer had come up with a bubblegum recipe in 1906 but it was shelved because it was too sticky and broke apart. Twenty years later, Diener picked up the recipe again. After a year of trials, he made the first successful batch of bubble gum.

Four months later Diener used pink food coloring to produce the gum. Using a salt water taffy wrapping machine, he individually wrapped 100 pieces and put it in stock at a local candy store.

It was a huge success. The original gum featured a color comic strip known as the Fleer Funnies, included in the gum. Characters were Dub and Bub, introduced in 1930 and later Pud and Pals was introduced in 1950.

By Kathleen Unger Black Jack: Black Jack gum was made by American Chicle Company. In 1869 Mexican President Gen. Anloneo Lopeg who was exiled to New Jersey, brought with him a bag of chicles. He experimented with the black sticky stuff and there he met Thomas Adams of New York. In 1871, Lopeg and Adams received a patent for a black gum made with sarsaparilla flavor. In 1884 they added licorice flavor to the gum. In 1914, Thomas Adams developed Clove gum, but it was not appealing to many people and now is only manufactured every few years. In the 1970s, production ceased because of slow sales and the company was purchased by American Chicle. In 1962, Warner Lambert bought the company from American Chicle and began making Black Jack again. In 2000, Pfizer purchased the company and later was taken over by Cadbury. In 2010 it was purchased by Kraft Foods and in 2012 changed the name to Mondelez.

Teaberry: Teaberry was my father’s favorite. This gum was introduced in the early 1900s by D.L. Clark Co, later the Clark Gum Company. The name refers to an Eastern Teaberry Shrub native to northeastern U.S., with flavors like wintergreen.

Beemans: In Ohio, Dr. Edward Beeman, in the late 1800s made a gum of pepsin and chicle to aid digestion. In 1898, the American

By Melinda Myers Fall is a great time to start a garden or renovate an existing planting bed. The soil is warm while the air is cool - a perfect combination for establishing new plantings. It is also a great time to prepare gardens for the next planting season.

Investing time up front to create a healthy foundation for your plants will pay off with years of beautiful, healthy and productive gardens.

When you read plant tags and seed packets you’ll find that the majority of plants prefer moist well-drained soil.

Unfortunately, most gardeners aren’t growing in plantfriendly soils. Heavy clay, sandy and droughty soils are much more common.

Understanding what you have is the best place to start when creating a healthy soil foundation for new and existing gardens.

Start with a soil test. Contact the local office of your Extension Service or state certified soil testing lab for details. They can direct you on how to take a soil test and where to send the sample. The test results will tell you how much, if any, fertilizer, lime, or sulfur is needed. Following soil test recommendations can save you money spent on and time applying unnecessary soil additives. Plus, following the results will increase your gardening success.

While waiting for the results you can do a bit of analysis yourself. Soils are made of clay, sand, and silt particles.

The feel and cohesive nature of this sample will tell you a bit about your soil. Take a handfulof soil and create a ribbon by rubbing it through your thumb and index finger to get a feel for your soil type.

If the soil easily forms a ball or rolls into a sausage shape, feels slippery when wet and smoother when dry, you have a high percent of clay in your soil.

Soils with a high percent of the very small clay particles are often called heavy soils.

They stay wet longer and hold onto soil nutrients. Clay soils are slow to dry out and warm up in the spring. Avoid working them when wet. This leads to compaction and clods you will be contending with all season long.

Soils with a larger percent of sand particles don’t form a ball when moist and feel gritty to the touch. The much larger sand particles create bigger pores in the soil for water and nutrients to move through quickly. They tend to be nutrient deficient, fast draining and dry. But they warm up and dry quickly in the spring.

Silt feels smooth like flour when dry and soapy slick when wet. They are the middle-sized particles that hold water and nutrients longer than sand, but not as much as

clay particles. Silty soils drain slower and stay colder longer than sandy soils in the spring.

Overworking soils with a high percent of silt leads to crusting and compaction, decreasing drainage and water infiltration.

Consult your soil test report when preparing your new garden beds. Prior to planting is the easiest time to add organic matter to any of these soil types. It increases the water-holding ability, the infiltration rate so less water runs off the soil surface and builds plant-friendly soil structure. Incorporate several inches of compost, aged manure or other organic matter into the top eight to twelve inches of soil.

Further improve your soil by using a slow release fertilizer with a high percent of organic matter like Milorganite (milorganite.com). The 85% organic matter feeds the soil microorganisms and your plants as it improves all soil types. You get multiple benefits with this type of fertilizer.

So, as you plan your new landscape additions this fall, include testing and amending the existing soil into your plans. Understanding your soil can help you create a strong foundation important to the health, longevity and beauty of your gardens and landscapes.

Steel beams for Coplay Bridge May pass through Howertown Park

By KERI LINDENMUTH Project managers for the Coplay Bridge construction project appeared before the Allen Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, June 12 to request access to Howertown Park and Short Lane for the project’s steel beam transportation. Construction on Route 329 has threatened to put the project, on schedule since December 2016, in a delay that could cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Ten steel beams, between 130 and 180 feet long, are scheduled to pass through the township around July 16. However, the recent Route 329 construction project, which detours drivers onto Atlas and Savage Roads, has project managers worried. The

trucks transporting the beams will not be able to fit on either road. Simply attempting to navigate these roads will create a traffic standstill and a dangerous driver-safety issue, project managers say.

“No other route [besides 329] can handle the beams,” said Larry Franco, project manager.

As a result, Franco and his team, on behalf of Lehigh and Northampton Counties, are requesting access to Howertown Park and Short Lane. They believe that their drivers can turn off 329 onto Short Lane and cut across a short parcel of the park, avoiding the detour, before entering back onto Route 329. They propose to construct Continued on page 3

Edelman School I am over in Upper Nazareth speaking to Raymond and Bill Smith, whose relative, Charles Smith, a quarry foreman, was killed in the 1942 Sandt’s Eddy Cement quarry explosion. Raymond’s father Stewart also lost his life in the explosion at the old Sunny Slope Dehydrating plant in East Allen Township a number of years ago.

Raymond lived in Upper Edelman’s, which is north on Route 191 east of Belfast. The family resided on a 27-acre farm containing the Edelman Hard Vein Slate quarry. The quarry slate was mined by a crew of 12 employees.

The slate was hoisted from the quarry with two old automobile engines and was moved by both truck and rail to out of state markets. I asked Bill if the family re-

ceived any royalty. He thought they may have received $100 annually.

Raymond attended the Upper Edelman one-room schoolhouse. The building has been restored and is open to the public annually. Mr. Smith said, ‘The school consisted of grades one to eight. There were 30 students and one teacher.

“Some of the former teachers were Naaman Peil, Mildred Arndt and Stanley Kressler, who later became principal at Easton High School.

“Just As I Am”

Charlotte Elliot, a beautiful girl, was preparing herself for a great ball.

Full of anticipation, she started out to her dressmaker. On the way, she met her pastor, an earnest, faithful man. He reasoned and pled with her to stay away from the ball and its degrading influences. Greatly vexed, she finally answered, “I wish you would mind your own business!”

Charlotte, cheerful and vivacious, attended the ball—but her gaiety was forced, for thoughts of the pastor’s earnest entreaties kept passing through her mind. When she returned to her room her conscience made her wretched. After three days of misery she went to the minister. “For three days I have been the most wretched girl in the world,” she cried. “Now I want to be a Christian. What must I do?”

“Just give yourself to the Lamb of God,” the pastor replied. “Come to Him just as you are!” “What! Just as I am?” Miss Elliot asked. “Do you know that I am one of the worst sinners in the world? How can God accept me just as I am?”

Charlotte went to her room, knelt down and offered God her heart, guilty and vile as it was, to be cleansed. While she prayed, an overflowing peace filled her soul. As she pondered the miracle which had transpired within her by the grace of the Lord Jesus, she had a keen desire to write down the feelings of her heart. She penned: “Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me, and that Thou bidd’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come.” Other stanzas followed. For over one hundred years this immortal hymn has helped repentant sinners find Christ.

Jesus invites, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Come just as you are for He promises, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37).

Come singing the stanza, “Just as I am, Thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; Because Thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.”

Auditor General DePasquale fastTracks Lehigh Twp. VFRA review Amid Allegations of missing funds

August 16-22, 2018 15

Visit our website at www.homenewspa.com

CIHYLIK FARMS & GREENHOUSES

Audit team will assist law enforcement in alleged theft Investigation in Northampton County Submitted by BARRY CICCOCIOPPO Concerned about alarming allegations, Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said his audit team will assist in the investigation of missing funds at the Lehigh Township Volunteer Fireman’s Relief Association in Northampton County.

“I am making this audit an immediate priority after hearing from a VFRA leader about allegations of theft,” DePasquale said, noting that the allegations were turned over to law enforcement and are now part of a criminal

investigation.

“My team spoke with law enforcement officials today to coordinate efforts to examine VFRA documents,” DePasquale said.

This is a matter of public confidence that must be addressed quickly and swiftly. I want to do anything possible to assist in this investigation.

There must be an accounting of tax dollars.

Eugene DePasquale

FRESH SWEET CORN IS HERE!

“This is a matter of public confidence that must be addressed quickly and swiftly. I want to do anything possible to assist in this investigation. There must be an accounting of tax dollars,” DePasquale said.

“I have heard from the leadership at the VFRA. I share their desire to be upfront with the public and be vigilant in vetting these allegations.”

The VFRA received $72,681 in state funds in 2016. The money is to be used to maintain and purchase fire equipment, training, insurance and public safety. The last audit was released in February 2018 and examined the years of 2014 to 2016. As of Dec. 31, 2016, the VFRA had a cash balance of $87,283.

“We must account for every penny of these funds which are used to help volunteer firefighters save lives and protect communities,” DePasquale said.
