(Continued From Page One) Pulitzer Prize winner is what Cox is. Cox is a Chambersburg boy. He has spent ell his life here, except for a three-year hitch in the U.

S. Army from 1945 to 1947. He graduated from the local high school in 1945. After he joined the Public Cpinion staff he served first as sports editor before assuming general assignment reporting. Last July he was advanced to the city editorship in a realignment of staff positions following the death of Joseph A.

Crist, then managing editor. Asked what brought him into the newspaper field, Cox replied: "This is my life; I like it. I like to write. I'd rather write than eat!" Cox won the award in the local reporting category for his "vivid deadline reporting" of the manhunt for deranged "Mountain Man" William D. Hollenbaugh, who terrorized the highlands of Shade Gap with his sniping for two years.

During the two years, which were climaxed with Peggy Bradnick's abduction, Cox stayed doggedly on the story as the mysterious mountain man preyed on residents of the Shade Gap area, following his inclinations to shoot at anyone at any time. His curiosity over Shade Gap was aroused by the failure to find the mystery sniper when the shootings first began.

NEW YORK (AP) Ever since the apostle Paul declared that "now we see through a glass darkly," Christianity has recognized that its defined doctrines were imperfect reflections of what basically remains mystery. Yet efforts to express and illuminate its truths have continued through the centuries, in councils, creeds and articles of faith.

Today, many church thinkers are wrestling anew with the problem to slate beliefs better. Amid the reappraisals, and the sometimes disturbed reactions to them, a controversial Canadian priest has urged that the churches quit prescribing specific interpretations. "The church should stop presuming to be the Answer said the Rev. Ernest Harrison, an Anglican Church of England clergyman of Toronto. "Its proper function is to be a community of searchers, welcoming all serious viewpoints." The Rev.

Mr. Harrison, a graying, bespectacled man of 50, whose ideas have resulted in his being barred from ministerial functions in the Toronto diocese, said Christianity's "big challenge now is to live with uncertainty." He added: "To live with uncertainty is a sign of maturity." Here in connection with the issuance of his new book, "A Church Without God." published by Lippincott, he said in an interview that the church "can no longer absolutize about doc trines." "It can't say that one view is right and another wrong, that there is only one true view," he said. "Life has shown us that nobody has the final answers for all time, that we learn from experience and each other. "Instead of force-feeding answers, the church ought to offer a choice. It should open its gates and recognize the legitimacy of many more rooms of differing understanding." In his book, he discounts many standard doctrinal formulations, including Christ's divinity.

"Almost every point raised in the creeds is doubted by vast numbers of Christians," he maintains. "Some are strongly denied. Some, like the Virgin birth, are received in lukewarm fashion. Yet they are still announced as doctrines of the church. "If the church were seriously accepted as the "people of BARTON'S COOKIE JAR J.

But this has not happened. Consequently," he adds, "many Christians are trapped." "For, in spite of the loud cries of heresy, they do not feel like heretics. They feel like Christians. They feel that they are as much entitled to membership in their church as those who condemn them." Such feelings are shared by the Rev. Mr.

Harrison, who himself was forced to resign his post as general secretary of his church's powerful board of reli gious education last fall after 10 fellow theologians called him heretic. He questions such classical Christian teachings as the resurrection, life after death and maintains "there is no God" in the traditional sense of a "grand being" apart from men, judging, punishing and helping them. "God is not something other than mankind," he said. Shafer Orders Liquor Probe HARRISBURG (AP)-Keeping a campaign promise, Gov. Shafer ordered Monday a year-long review of the code governing the state's multimillion dollar liquor monopoly.

Shafer, by executive order, created the Governor's Liquor Code Advisory Committee and charged it with conducting an "immediate, broad and complete review" of the code. Atty. Gen. William C. Sennett was appointed chairman of the nine-member panel.

Shafer will appoint the others later. Members of the committee will serve without compensation. In his executive order, the governor noted that the state liquor trade amounts to a "multimillion dollar business." The State Liquor Control Board was created in 1934 and since then, Shafer said, the state has undergone great physical, economic, and social change. "The basic provisions of the Liquor Code are in need of thorough review, study and revision," the governor said. The special panel is to make reports and recommendations for necessary legislation to the governor "from time to time" and is to present a final report a year from now.

spoke at a recent meeting of the Kittochtinny Historical Society at Hitching Post Inn. Park told the 75 members and guests of the old post office known as "Libonia." which was in existence from 1890 to 1903. Located on old Route 75 in Path Valley, the office was extablished largely for the purpose of serving the thriving seed and floral business established by George Park in 1871. "Park's Floral Gazette" was a widely circulated publication of the firm, which maintained a publishing house on its premises. Employes at one time numbered 150 and their salaries amounted to SI.

50 per week or were figured on the basis of 10 cents per hour. An issue of "Fortune" magazine, published in the 1930 gave an account of the business and noted that the founder, George Park, was known in the business as the "bete noir," because of his practice of selling seed packets for five cents, a sum considered too sharp a business practice by his competitors. The work week for employes of the firm was 60 hours but relaxation was provided in the form of a baseball team. There is no indication today of the company's former operations but the Kittochtinny Historical Society several years ago posted a plaque indicating the site of the old post office. Descendents of the founder of the company carry on the business today in South Carolina.

Vice President Lee B. Hoover presided at the meeting. New members accepted into the society were Eugene Etter, Lemasters: Mr. and Mrs. Charles J.

(AP If you saw a poem crossing a field with a story, you would recognize the poem right off he story would be traveling straight along, but not the po em. More likely it would be spurting to and fro, hopping, skipping, twirling a bit. It might even jump right at you. I In such a way were children introduced to the living, breath-j ing poems of their classmates at special assemblies in three State College Area Elementary schools. They squealed and jiggled and aah-ed and applauded as flowers and raindrops, pine trees and strawberries danced up and down the stage.

The idea was Betty Jane Dit-tmar's. The result: a new looki at poetry by teachers and chil-j dren alike. The mininutive authors are mostly first graders, with a smattering of selections from second, third and fifth graders as well. Some of their poems were written in school, some during summer camping ses-! sions at Strawberry Hill, oper-j ated bv the Dittmars near Centre Hall. Impressed with the poets' imagination and wit, Mrs.

Dittmar turned her dancing students loose on a project to interpret the poetry in motion dance, pantominei to the sole; accompaniment of their own recitations. The program was a tmash at Strawberry Hill and wa? well received at a national dar.ce teachers' conference in New York City where Mrs. Dittmar used it for lecture demonstra-! tions. Viewers there thought it would be great for public school use. Why? It's a splended wav to show the relationship and harmony of two arts.

It makes the poetry come alive. It could spur interest in creative writing among young children and their teachers. Children's poetry is Tan but there isn't enough of it, was Mrs. Dittmar 's summation. Wiggling like bugs, flying like kites, floating like clouds and buzzing like bees were the danc-trj Carol Manscll, an art edu I I cation major at the Pennsylva-I nia State University, who also I teaches dance Ann Risheberg- er, Leslie Brubaker and Nancy i Condee, State College High.

School studnts. Their young audiences gave; especially loud approval to the dancers' interpretations of the poems of spring all, by the way, written by first-grade boys. The poems were in three cate-j gories things that talk, funny I things and spring. One of the best was first-grader Michael Hegman's "Plant Talk," an example of haiku, the Japanese poetic form characterized by its 17 syllables. The six-year-old's poem: "The wind talks to the mountains.

Bushes and trees talk. Plants talk to the earth." The assembly programs were so enthusiastically received that several classes went back to their rooms and began at once to turn out poems of their own.
