Looking by Back Ed Pany Weaversville to War, Part 1 of 5
Herbert J. Ruch served in the U.S. Army from 1941 to 1945. Photo courtesy of Beatrice Christoff. Today, Mr. Larry Oberly and this writer are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Christoff. Stanley’s wife, Beatrice, was an excellent student in my Northampton High School classroom. She takes us back to World
War II, when her father, Herbert J. Ruch, served in the U.S. Army from 1941 to 1945. She has discovered a 34-page diary and 268 letters. He never talked about war Continued on page 4

Sights and sounds of a winter Wonderland on display in Northampton By KERI LINDENMUTH If you spend a winter evening walking past 1220 Main St. in Northampton, make sure you take a moment to pause and listen. You may hear the songs of carolers. The engine of a train. The echo of a silversmith. Follow the sounds up 1220’s front steps (a sign on the front porch invites you to take a peek). One glance through the front windows and you’ll be transported to a miniature winter wonderland. There’s a snow-covered school with children playing outside. A Salvation Army marching band performing. A crackling fire that villagers gather around to keep warm. Warmly lit mansions decorated in garland. A farm with the animals out to graze. A ski lodge and ranger station. A 5&10, a barber, a bank, a cafe, and a newsstand. A nativity scene. Look closely and you’ll see kittens playing in the snow, a woman selling wreaths, and a horse pulling an ice cart. The handpainted Christmas putz on display is the work of Nancy Kumernitsky, 91. She has been painting and displaying ornate Christmas putzes since the 1980s. Children walking down Main Street to get a snack from the nearby convenience store often stop by, eyes wide, as they watch the moving skiers, the twinkling trees, and the dancing skaters. Kumernitsky’s Christmas putz rivals the holiday window display of any department store. “I love watching the kids,” Kumernitsky says when asked why she continues to put the putz on display every year. “Their eyes sparkle,” she adds
with a smile. She watches from her living room, waving people up who may be too shy to approach from the street. Her daughter, Jean, says the joy of other people is her mother’s greatest joy. The putz truly is a labor of love. It takes anywhere from one to three weeks to construct the eight-and-a-half-foot-long display. Meanwhile, painting a single building can take hours (this year’s putz has two dozen stores, churches, and school buildings on display). Some of the villag-
ers Kumernitsky painted had their eyes painted on with a cat whisker, as that was the only tool small enough to capture the details. Kumernitsky’s father started Continued on page 3

but said, “Freedom is priceless.” Mr. Ruch was born in East Allen Township. In his youth, he walked a short distance to the Knauss School on the Nor-Bath Highway. Today, the building is the East Allen Township municipal office. They moved to Weaversville, and he graduated from Northampton High School in 1940. In high school, he took courses in electricity taught by Lester Yeager. Herbert used this training when he was hired by E.M. Rehrig’s electric winding shop. This experience would serve Herbert in the Army, as he would be assigned to the engineering unit. Dr. George A. Eichler was the Northampton superintendent and a World War I veteran. The principal was Mr. Ira Schaeffer. The future of the Class of 1940 was uncertain. War clouds were on the horizon. Mr. Ruch said, “On July 1, 1941, I registered for the draft. It was the second draft call for World War II. I went to the draft board on the way home from Rehrig Electric.” The draft board was located in the old Allen Trust bank on Main Street, which, after the war, became Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4714. In November, he boarded a train in Allentown for a physical in Wilkes-Barre. He recalled, “On Dec. 12, I left home for the Army. Our destination - Fort George Meade, Maryland. Our train was an hour late due to fog.” There, the Army again checked for physical fitness, gave men clothing and assigned bunks. He recalled, “I was assigned to guard duty and must stand guard for three hours. We must be in bed by 11 p.m. Lights go out 9 p.m.” On Dec. 17, Herbert and 35 men boarded a train and a long truck ride to Fort Belvoir, Va. “I am sending my application for insurance home for you to keep - $6.60 goes out of my monthly pay for a $10,000 life insurance policy. “I met a fellow from York, Pa. He is a barracks guard at night. We must stand guard three hours each, 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. All the guys are buying Army pillowcases for

Christmas gifts. On Thursday, I was on KP (Kitchen Police) and helped get Christmas dinner for everyone. I received a box of cookies and two pieces of cake from home - crushed, but it tasted good.” At Belvoir, Private Ruch was assigned to help maintain the rifle range. The range was constantly busy. He also took an eight-week course and joined the 25th service unit engineering section. One week, he had a cold and purchased a box of tissues (cost, 9 cents). His first movie, 15 cents; monthly paycheck, $25.17. The movie was “Star Spangled Rhythm” (1942), with Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Betty Hutton. It entertained the draftees. In March 1943, Pvt. Ruch moved up the pay scale - $43.50 for the month. “Another guy was supposed to work the mess hall job, but he came in drunk from a three-day pass, so I got the job. I worked a dance and had to wear an allwhite uniform. “Our training continued. I went through an infiltration course. They needed to fire three machine guns over your head while crawling 75 yards on your
stomach.” The Thanksgiving meal included turkey, mashed potatoes, peas, corn, cranberry sauce, oranges, peaches, nuts, pumpkin pie, coffee, two bottles of interesting beer, one pack of cigarettes and the movie “Thousands Cheer” with Kathryn Grayson, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly - a musical comedy - and “Riding High,” a Dorothy Lamour and Dick Powell comedy. At a USO show, he saw the famous boxer Joe Louis, longtime heavyweight champion of the world. In two weeks, we’ll go coast to coast.

Letter to The Editor
Several times each year I drive up to Bath to tend the graves of my parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. I walk through the cemeteries and pay my respects to
all the townsfolk who passed that were part of my youth. I usually take a long stroll through the borough to reacquaint myself with my own days gone by- especially my old paper route. I repeated this ritual just before Christmas. Wunderler’s Market is one constant that seems not to have changed, except there are no longer any wooden soda crates on which to sit and drink a Coke.
I walk past the playground where we all would gather and play basketball every day no matter the weather. Now, nobody’s there. The former American Hotel has been a strip bar for a long time. Bill’s Barber Shop is now a photo studio advertising boudoir portraits in the window. The Bath Republican Club has a sign out front proudly pro-

claiming Adult Toy Bingo. I can’t help but wonder what long-time Republican Mayor Archie Leigh would think. The house where kindly Mrs. Rabenold once lived now sports a large banner with a profanity about the president and his voters next to Lewis Harry’s old Esso station. Thomas Wolfe’s cliché is unfortunately true: You can’t go home again.

BATH AREA Scam calls Reported in Northampton County
Submitted by BECKY BARTLETT The Northampton County Sheriff’s Department has received reports about an individual contacting residents and claiming to be Lieutenant Rich Johnson. Said individual then states there is a warrant out for the resident’s arrest and that they need to pay via a bank check or a money order otherwise they will be immediately arrested. This is a scam intended to defraud our residents. The Sheriff’s Department does not call residents and solicit money in lieu of arrest. Please report any suspicious solicitations to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office at 800-441-2555 or email them at scams@attorneygeneral.gov.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Pay Attention to Your Life
ingful in life. Interesting take on things. You get one chance this go round. Let’s show up. Let’s wake up. Being mindful of such matters does not necessarily mean hiring a guru to take you through guided meditation… it takes intention. Just this morning as I was heading to my vehicle, I was
increasingly barren trees. Such beauty. Why I was brought to a halt this morning out of all the beautiful mornings I cannot tell you why, yet I was struck with the notion I have missed many of these lately. Walking out a life well lived does not appear to be filled with champagne and caviar experiences. The best life has to offer can, of course, be amazing vacations, moments, and events, yet being an active participant in my own ordinary, wonderful life is what fills me with joy instead.
If this discussion strikes your heart, I want to encourage you to once again pay attention to your life-do not simply drift. Take stock of who you are, be mindful of the moments that make up days, be intentional once again and you will be surprised at the momentum you regain. My best to you.
