THE ALL MOUNTAINEERS
Two weeks ago there appeared on the High School Page of
The Post an editorial written by a Lehman High School student.
in subject matter and style the editorial was one of the best that
“has appeared in The Post this year. At the time of its appear-
ance the editor refrained from comment feeling that such an
“editorial would surely bring forth a generous number of letters
for The Contributors’ Column. To date no letters have been
forthcoming. The editor, therefore, takes this opportunity to
personally congratulate the youthful writer and commend the
enthusiasm and the idealism that appeared in that brief editorial
on an “All Mountaineer Football Team” for this section of the
county. tic
if The idea of picking a football team from among the best
players on the school teams of this region is a good one. Such a
team would be able to meet the best teams of Wyoming Valley
on an equal basis and would be able to bring recognition to this
locality in an athletic way which none of the present high school
teams are now strong enough to do. By the very nature of the
case “The All-Mountaineer” team would have only one game to
play and that a post-season game. It would rally back of it an
“enthusiastic group of supporters from every community in this
district and even if the team were defeated its purpose would
have been accomplished in bringing the citizens of all of the com-
munities in this section together backing one common project.
~ Let’s hear something from our readers on this subject of pick-
ing an “All-Mountaineer” football team to represent this section
in a post-season game?
WHERE’S THE REFORMER?
AN The question now seems to be, “Who was back of the recent
punch board raids in Dallas?’ Whoever it was he certainly has
jelly fish. If the person back of the raids really had the welfare
of Dallas at heart he would come forward now and carry the
fight to a finish. If he were really interested in this community
and its well- being he would have accomplished the cleaning out
of punch boards without all the nasty publicity connected with
He, then would have won a place in the admiration of decent
: citi zens of this community. Some day sixth-rate politicians will
Use their heads and realize that Dallas has some civic pride and
that there are some of us who like to call it home and are not just
~ existing here to further our political ambitions.

EARL MONK
This fellow Earl Monk who now. re-
sides at Shavertown who has made
large improvements and extensions in
his plumbing business, can now boust
of the finest hardware store this side
of Luzerne. Earl has now taken over
the agency of the Bemer-Tully radio,
a radio that is known for its per-
formance, quietness and selectivity.
GEORGE GAERTNER
When the boys that take interest
in borough affairs were active before
the primary, why did they not take
into consideration George Gaertner
for a position as school director or
council. Mr. Gaertner would be an
ideal person for either of these posi-
tions, is a home-owner, takes greot
interest in the affairs of the town,
and is a citizen Dallas can feel proud
of. Perhaps in the future, he will
allow the use of his name for some
borough office.
HUNTING SEASON
Many of the boys that follow the
paths through the fields and woods in
search of game are anxiously await-
ing November 1st. Dallas seers to
have plenty of persons who are fol-
lowers of hunting and fishing, and
after all, what is nicer or more satis-
fying than for a couple of men to en-
joy mother nature by tramping over
hill and dale with the fellowship of
his friends and to have a good faith-
ful dog, help him in the hunting of
his game.
HUNTING LODGES
Several groups of men of Dallag
and surrounding ‘communities can
boast of fine hunting lodges and pri-
vate hunting grounds in and around
the various counties.
HUNTERS
Wardan Kunkle, Jim Oliver, Clyde
Veitch, A. L. Turner, Ralph Hallock,
Harry Garrahan, F. F. Morris, John
Wilson, Joe Wallow and a score of
others are all waiting for hunting
season to open. The scribe is sup-
posed to be a hunter but we usuaily
from invitations or a few rabbits with
the compliments of the real hunters.
SO don’t forget boys, we like rabbits.
A SURE BET
Jim Besecker looks like a sure bet
as our next school director At this
writing Stanley Doll has not stated
whether or not he intends to make an
active canvass of votes.

Bears, Wolves and Foxes Also
Become Scarce So Daddy Em-
mons Takes Up Fishing at
Harvey Lake
As the forests were cleared away
and the country became more thickly
settled the pigeons grew timid and
gradually ceased to return in such
large flocks. In later years Daddy
Emmons turned his attention to fish-
ing, at which he was as successful as
in trapping pigeons. His home was at
Dallas, but early in each returning
spring he went to Harvey's Lake and
took possession of his cabin, which
stood at the edge of a little grove near
the eastern end of the old bridge at
the southeastern inlet, and there lived
alone, spending his whole time at fish-
ing. He 'made a business of it, and for
many years, until his strength failed
on account of his age, he succeeded in
getting a living out of it. His honest
old face was for many years asso-
ciated with the memory of Harvey's
Lake, and with many of us it will
never be forgotten. Harvey's Lake at
one time abounded in speckled trout.
but the artificial introduction of other
fish has exterminated the trout. Game
of every kind was also very abundant
about there. It was a famous hunting
and fishing ground. Ephraim King
once informed me that he had killed
over a hundred deer in and about Har:
vey’s Lake. Hunting dogs were sel-
dom needed in his best hunting days,
fifty to seventy years ago. The deer
were oftenest killed by rowing quietly
up to them with a light in the boat
while they were feeding in the shore
grass or drinking just’ at the edge of
the water. The torch dazed them, and
its reflection in their bright eyes
made a sure mark for the hunter
Bears and wolves ceased to be a terror |
‘before the first half of the century
ended, but they were seen occasionally
in and about Dallas and I.ake town-
ship at a later date. Watch dogs were
employed at one time to protect the
sheep from attacks by wolves, but the
dogs had to be of such a ferocious
kind that it sometimes became a ques-
structive in the sheepfold, and many
good watch dogs had to be killed for
