Pastors To Attend
 Church Conference

Pastors and lay delegates of Wa terbury Congregational Churches will attend the Eastern Regional Conference on "Our Churches and Living Race Relations" in New Haven, Oct. 29-31.
 The conference will celebrate the founding in New Haven in 1846 of the American Missionary Asso- citation, an organization devoted to aiding the American Negro.

Reputed to be of the finest in the state the Wa terbury City Court the second floor west wing of the City Ha is pleasant and imposing, practical and rooy bit of architectural design-but the acoustics ap parently captured from medieval castle. Arch- tec Cass Gilbert noted especially for designing the Wool worth Building in New York City, responsible for the Marble Palace Grand Street, but somehow, it seems he missed the boat when to the science of sound
 may be standard joke that acoustics are bad in all courtrooms, but joke joke it is also refec- ton the that be when considers that the human voice is allimportant factor in courtroom.
 Perhaps, appear to think the matter was de- berate designed that the spectator sitting but few yards away from the witness stand and the bench should hear but little of the rumbngs of justice How ever we doubt it-especially when considers the shameful fact that judge prosecutor and clerk in action but few feet and sometimes inches from the witness fail to hear what it's all about. The Waterbury City Court with it's leather upholstered furniture it's high ceiinged beauty, it's long, draped windows and its daily justice is something for which local taxpayer may well display prde-unt he is caught in the crossre of not guilty that reverberates from every painted surface
 It is hardly fair that this taxpayer should sit some day in City Court to 'sten to traland be forced to await the. evening paper to learn what testimony was locked in the thousand echoes of the morning.

True, this is nothing far as broadcasting is concernedbut is far big time, top dial listening is concerned Predictions are that trend will develop from Bings transcribed half hour trend that has the advantages of the star being able to select his guest artist and present him her the air said guest star is out of the country that night Cut long before the show goes the air, the transcribed program be checked for soothness, respect the radio listener is assured of hearing show that presents the artist at his her bes and precudes the possibility of situation such after the recent uis-Maurielo fight and such sometimes arises in the of not too wary comedian.

Cinderella Town

he could toddle Stanley took much
more interest in the things which
grew on the earth's surface than in
the coal under it. After school he
would wander for hours over the
SCARED hills, exploring the green
world beyond.
When Stanley was IL years old,
a local lawyer, impressed by his
curiosity about trees. loaned him
some books on forestry. Those books
reshaped the boys life. AS he de-
voured their contents, he visualized
his home town, not as it was, but as
it might be. He borrowed more
books, wrote far and wide for addi-
tional information about trees, made
test paintings in his back yard.
When he had to quit high school to
Evening star., 1946-05-26

90 to work in the mines, he sub
scribed to correspondence-school
course in forestry.
In 1882, after he had learned all
that he felt he needed to know,
Stanley took the first big step to-
ward making his dream come true.
He boldly went to the biggest man
in town, William E. Weineck, Super
intendent of the Susquehanna COL
lieries Company, and made him a
proposition. If Stanley provided the
trees and labor, would MIR. Wemeck
let him start community forest on
the company's land? Mr.. Weineck

Forget Race Rivalries

Mosr remarkable of all, a new
spirit has come to Glen Lyon. With
more attractive scenery around
them, the toWnsfolk have made their
homes more attractive. Their new
community pride has been accom-
panied, moreover, by greater friend
Illness. The old race rivalries have
been forgotten and the town has only
one policeman instead of three.
The story of Glen Lyons dra-
matte metamorphosis soon spread
over all of northeastern Pennsyl-
vania. In 1941 the Wyoming Valley
Chamber of Commerce at Wilkes
Barre employed Stanley Mesavage
to repeat his magic in dozens of
other communities in the region.
With that program we'll launched,
he has now moved on to an even
bigger job - supervising forests on
large tracts of submarginal land in
New England.
Stanley Mesavage cannot, unfor-
tunately, apply his green touch to
every community in this country.
But there is no reason why many
towns could not follow the simple
steps he took in performing his mir
acle at Glen Lyon. Literally hun
dreds of places, large and small, are
crying for trees. BY planting COM
munity forests they could make
themselves, and America, health
ier, happier place to live.
Evening star., 1946-05-26

was dubious about the idea, but told
him to go to it,
Stanley began by spending every
minute above ground trying to sell
his dream to other people. Some
figured coal town had to be ugly,
just as miners face had to be
black when he came home from
work. But Stanley's zeal was un-
quenchable. The Catholic and Prot
estant pastors endorsed his idea IN
their sermons. The Superintend-
ent of Schools gave him permis-
sion to ask the school children
to contribute three cents each to
buy seedlings. The depression was
then at its worst, but most of the
kids produced the pennies.
Then one bright spring afternoon,
with a brass band leading the pro-
cession, the 1000 school children of
the town marched to a barren hill
side and set out 10000 small ever
green trees. Most of the kids had
never planted anything in their lives
before, and they were almost patheti-
cally eager to have a town forest.
Grew Trees ON Refuse
That was just the beginning of
Stanley Mesavage's miracle. I'M
pressed by his work, Mr. Weineck
gave him a job as colliery forester.
Year after year, aided by the school
children, he launched new assaults
upon the towns ugliness. He plant
ed 100000 seedlings in all, and even
got black locust trees to thrive on
the mountains of mine refuse where
nothing had ever grown before.
Gradually the whole popula-
ton began to realize that STAN
ley's trees were doing something
wonderful for their community.
With every passing year they have
come to appreciate that fact more
and more. Glen Lyon is now a town
reborn.
1t still remains coal-mlnlng
town, of course, but compared to
most mining towns, it is today
green paradise. Trees Is to 20 feet
in height clothe the once naked
hills. Leaves and pine needles from
the trees are forming new earth for
grass and flowers, and with the new
ground growth many forms of Wild
life have returned. The air is cleaner
now that trees form windbreaks and
vegetation carpets the soil.

This man transformed
an ugly coal town into
a fine place to live. A
story for Memorial Day

THIs is a story about d little Penn
sylvania coal town, and one
miners inspired determination to
improve the surroundings in which
he grew up.
For Ia years Stanley Mesavage
has devoted himself to his boyhood
dream of making his home town a
better place in which to live. In
Glen Lyon, a hard-coal community
of 4,5OO people IL miles southwest
of Wilkes Barre, he has accom-
plished miracle which promises to
beautify the appearance of the whole
anthracite region.
Before he began his work, Glen
Lyon was as hideOus a town as
you could find any here. Sixty
five years of mining had devastated
the valley in which it lies. The sur
rounding hillsides had been cut clear
of trees or burned bare of all vegeta-
ton. A towering, black coal breaker
dominated the town like an evil
castle. Around it nestled the grimy.
unpainted homes of the miners.
Hardly blade of grass grew in Glen
Lyon no birds sang there.
Turned Laundry Cray
lHE very air was befouled by coal
dust, which penetrated closed doors,
windows and turned the housewives
laundry gray on the line
1t was place Of ugly dlscords,
too. Poles, Russians, Italians and
Slovaks huddled together in little
neighborhoods called patches" and
were slow to make friends with one
another Brawls were frequent, and
three policemen were required to
maintain order.
Into this environment, in 1912,
was born a brown-eyed boy named
Stanley Mesavage. Because his
father was a Polish miner who had
worked in the Glen Lyon pits since
he was eight years old, it was taken
for granted that Stanley would be-
come p miner, too. But from the time

Four Camden Men Lose
Lives At Filling Station
South Oh Charlotte

CAMDEN S. c., Nov. 11-(P-
Four men were killed and two
others seriously injured in an, ex-
plosion Monday in a filling station
10 miles north of Camden of the
Charlotte-Camden highway.
Sheriff j. H. Mcleod, Jr., and
Coroner Purdy Lee identified the
bodies Monday night at those of
Stacey Griffon, Landon Faile, Ray
mond Barfield and Charles William
Cornell. The officers also said that
Jack Outen and Jesse Chiffon, a
brother Of Stacey were seriously
injured.
Sheriff Mcleod said the filling
station earlier in the day had re-
tceived a large shipment of ex-
plosives, including ammunition and
firecrackers, and the explosion was
probably caused by their becoming
ignited. All the dead men are
World War II veterans, the sheriff
said.
A coroner's inquest is scheduled
for Tuesday.
