DALLAS POST IS

“Tampa, Florida,

“Editor of The Post:
“We all enjoy the weekly visits
of The Dallas Post. It is pleasant
to read the names of the friends
we know in Beaumont, Alderson,
Kunkle and Dallas.
“Some of our winter visitors
have returned to Pennsylvania.
They write us that it is cold up
there. It’s hot and dry here with
the temperature standing between
96 and 98 degrees.
“Enclosed is $2.00 for The
Post for two years.
“C. A. LOOMIS.”
To Subscriber Loomis:
Many thanks for those kind
words. We're glad you like The
Post. Pennsylvania’s weather too,
has hovered around the ninety
mark on occasional days this

Second Alarm Sounded for Lo-
cal Fire Company In One Day
—Boys On the Alert...
— 2:02 —
The building along the peffans
Corners road, used during the sum-
mer as a residence by J. M. Broody,
of 155 Blackman Street, Wilkes-Barre,
and in which he conducted a small
store, was completely destroyed by
fire Monday night soon after 3
o’clock. Mr. Broody expected to
have the place stocked with groceries
and produce and move into the place
next week.
Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire Company
responded to the alarm, but it could
do little as the flames were beyond
control and chemicals alone could be
used and no water was near at hand.
The loss is estimated at $5,000.
It was the second alarm of the day
for the local fire-eaters.. The first
time the company was called out was
in the afternoon when a brush fire
spread over the lots on both sides
of The Dallas Post building. The
fire was extinguished without any
damage, however, before the engine
arrived.

Met Tuesday Nite

Local Problems Disposed of At
Special Meeting—Twp. Super-
visors Attend Meeting.
—:0:—
On Tuesday evening, the Dallas
Borough Council held a special meet-
ing which was called mainly to de-
cide the method of working the Cen-
ter Hill Road. Nelson Whipp, of
Dallas Township represented the su-
pervisors.
The meeting was called to order by
President Kunkle. All members be-
ing present except Councilman Stev-
ens who was out of town. !
Officer Avery was given authority
to notify the State Highway Depart-
ment to place traffic lines on Main
Street as soon as possible.
Attorney A. L. Turner was instruct-
ed to proceed with the filing of liens
against all those property owners who
having failed to lay sidewalks are
liable to the borough for the laying
of same. Council is determined to
collect immediately for laying these
| side walks.
Notices were also ordered to be
| sent to all the property owners on
| Lake Street who have not already
complied with the sidewalk ordinance.
No further delay will be allowed.
Center Hill Discussed
Quite considerable time was taken
up with the discussion of the ‘Center
Hill Road. It seems that ever since
the order of the court in fixing the
boundary line, that the township of-
ficials have not been able to agree
with the borough fathers on the
method of working.
The supervisors were insistent upon
working a certain portion of the road
in their own way and the councilmen
thought that they should both work
the road together, each defraying half
of the expense.
After over an hour of discussion
the matter was referred to the road
committee of the borough with power
to act, although all of the council-
men agree that if the supervisors
were not in favor of working the road
together that each would work their
side of the road.
This question should be decided and
it seems that the attitude taken by
the parties should be a compromise.
As long as each municipality is re-
sponsible for one-half the width of
the road, the entire length in ques-
tion, that joint working of the road,
either under the supervision of one
side or the other is the logical solu-
tion to the problem.

EAST DALLAS-IDETOWN
COMBINATION LOOKS
LIKE REAL THREAT
—0i—
Little: has been said of the East
Dallas-Idetown base ball club, but of
late the fans have got back of the
summer sport and see a possibility
for the boys coming through with a
real crack at the pennant. From a
survey of the various clubs it is wise
to give this Idetown aggregation a
place near the top of the list.
The back-bone of the club will con-
sist of such stars as Dodd, Durland,
Scouten, Cummings, Volinger and
Abe Winters. All mentioned are
rated as first-class timber, especially
in the hitting department and should
give the opposing pitchers plenty to
worry about. And the club has other
talent, probably with less experience,
but capable of holding its own
against the majority. These include:
Rogers, Spencer, Williams, Bryden,
Ide, Wright, Wilson and Pinky
Swingle.
On the pitching staff they have
some good prospects. The best bet
being young Swingle who shows
promise of going high in base ball,
while Abe Winters, with his fast ball,
may come in for a surprise. Vol-
linger, a veteran, is sure to get a
turn on the mound, while Art Mon-
tross, who can be well remembered
with the Dallas club a few years ago,
will try for a come-back. If Art
fails to work a full game it is almost
certain he will get plenty of relief
work. |
Managers Wilson and Renshaw are
worthy of much comment on the
showing they have made in rounding
such a club together and they have
our best wishes for a successful
season.

en. He also described the various
emblems and superstitions which are
woven into these rugs by the native
workers. His speech was very in-
structive and enjoyed by all.
District Governor Ned Glenn and
Mrs. Glenn, of Berwick, were the hon-
ored guests.
Miss Betty Seiple, of Wilkes-Barre,
gave several readings and Jack Mor-
ris, of the same place, sang. As

wick; Mr. Mitchel Miehlan, Williams-
port; Mrs. and Miss Seiple, Mr. and

ner. Music was furnished by the
