West Schuylkill Herald from Tower City, Pennsylvania • 1

Around town 1i Htoine Week-June 25-30 hear them and you'll see what we mean. Art Hoffman, the man who bills the entertainment for the bandstand, states that this year the shows should be some of the best produced in years. We're hoping that you'll be reserving the last week in June just for the homecoming so that you may enjoy all these attractions. On Monday "The Vagabonds," a colorful stage entertainment group, will perform. Junior Shade, who heads the group, promises a brand new presentation of "rock 'n roll" and country music combined with a comedy act that is sure to delight you.

"The Legends" will bring a combination of rock, polka and some beautifully arranged slow music Tuesday evening. This combo also features a beautiful and talented girl vocalist and trumpet player, er. "The Jordan Brothers," one of the area's best rock 'n roll groups, will be presented Wednesday. They are well-known throughout this area not only for their stage appearances but their recordings as well. On Thursday night Shorty Long, who starred in the New York musical hit, "The Most Happy Fella," will present his show with the "Santa Fe Rangers." Last year a girl stopped his show from going on a girl named Agnes and I'm sure we need no further introduction.

If you enjoy country and western music, then you'll want to hear this group which is considered one of the best in the east and you won't want to miss the featured attraction the crazy Elmer and Clyde. A comparatively new group, "The Sounds of Music," will be presented Friday night. Although the group and the sounds are new, the musical talents that comprise it are not. We consider it one of the best local groups to come out of our valley in quite some time. Come out and The new paved area for dancing will really be getting a workout Saturday when the "Nickle Plate Road" presents its show.

Rock, pop and psyche will be the musical theme and there will be enough of it to satisfy every musical taste. The entertainment will not stop here, because in addition to the "Nickle Plate Road," a group known as "Rothermel's Accordian Band'" so watch out Lawrence Welk, they may just outdo your show. If you don't plan to dance, then get yourself a treat before you wander down to the entertainment area to hear these groups. The music can really be enjoyed if you accomany it with a cup of Williams French fries, or how about some of Nonweiler's treats such as cotton candy, candied apples, pop corn or taffy. Mary's homemade ice cream will be available again in the old standbys as well as a few other exotic flavors.

We guarantee that none of these items will interfere with your enjoyment of the show; they'll just add to it. With all the entertainment and all the good things to eat, you just can't afford to miss the Old Home Week celebration this year. Come and enjoy it. The 50-50 chance tickets are now being sold and can be purchased from committee members. Three prizes will be given on Saturday evening, the last night of the celebration; you do not have to be present to win.

Next meeting of the Old Home Week committee will be held Tuesday, at the Legion at 8 p.m. The News Team Schuylkill Herald By MARY CHARLESWORTH SHADLE So many things we can think about when we enter the month of June. Every month has its history of world events as well as happenings in our own lives. Hastily, we can enumerate the following. Rome was liberated by allies in 1944; was a great historical and never to be forgotten day in 1944; Franklin drew lightning from the clouds in 1752; Flag Day is currently celebrated June 14; Father's Day is June 17; the Battle of Waterloo in 1815; the Longest Day of the year is June 21, and the first American troops arrived in France in 1917.

Nothing today, don't we often say? Just "brushing up" on one or two of these events would get the cobwebs moving out of our heads, wouldn't it? And yet, what is more beautiful and thought-provoking about the sixth month than graduation and weddings and roses? To say nothing about opening of swimming pools, vacation planning and our own annual homecoming which is the result of interested citizens and much planning. "What is so rare as a day in June?" and "Blessings on thee, little man, barefoot boy with cheek of tan" are nicer thoughts than the threatened gas shortage, the devaluating of the American dollar and the world crises. It's sort of nice to remember the days when it was considered brilliant to recognize the different makes of cars. Some folks can recall the Reos, Maxwells, Wintons, Stanley Steamers, Stutz Bear Cats, and how youngsters used to chant these silly words, "Cadillac, Cadillac, cheep-cheep-cheep" when an occasional one of these conveyances passed by. Wouldn't it be nice to sit on a running board again? Now that "terrible May" has passed, the rain did give us a "lush" spring of green lawns and beautiful foliage.

Around town, too, so much uplifting of homes, with new paint jobs is in evidence. The new barn of John and son Jim Rodichok is just about completed. What a modern piece of architecture and improvement in supplying customers of an essential product it is. When children visit our town, it's always been quite a treat to have them visit the Rodichok Farm or Barn. Fond parents, grandparents and other relatives or friends can be seen proudly escorting their little guests down to Wiconisco Ave.

This usually becomes a daily excursion and older children take off by themselves and can be located watching the cows, the calves, the pretty dogs, kittens and sometimes rabbits, and usually some chickens, ducks and geese. The owners are always so courteous and amiable that these added characteristics make the visits delightful. Whole groups of school children have always been welcomed. One six-year-old boy visiting grandparents recently, and thoroughly thrilled with his first visits to Johnnie's Barn, said "Tower City has everything." Isn't that just what most natives think? Sometimes we by-pass the nice things, though. THE DAY WILL BRING SOME LOVELY THING "The day will bring some lovely thing," I say it over each new dawn.

"Some gay, adventurous thing to hold Against my heart when It is gone." And so I rise and go to meet The day with wings upon my feet. I come upon it unaware Some sudden beauty without name; A snatch of song a breath of pine A poem lit with golden flame; High tangled bird notes keenly thinned Like flying color on the wind. No day has ever failed me quite Before the grayest day is done, I came upon some misty bloom Or a late line of crimson sun. Each night I pause remembering -Some gay, adventurous, lovely thing.
