A RTT TF Established 1889 Published by THE DALLAS POST, INC. : Publication Office l.ehiaan Avenue, Dallas, Pennsylvania VE. A. McHenry... 000i, President G. Harold Wagner. .... Sobel nly Secretary ~ H. W. Risley..Mng. Editor and Treas. An independent newspaper devoted - to the great suburban and agricultural district of the Greater West Side, comprising Dallas and twenty-seven surrounding communities. Subscription, $1.00 Per: Year (Payable in Advance) ~ REGARDING SUBSCRIPTIONS In order to meet the circulation re- quirements of the Circulation Audit Bureau of the Pennsylvania Pub- lishers’ Association, the Post is noti- fying all subscribers who are in ar- rears more than one year that their subscription to The Dallas Post has expired. The price of the Post is $1.00 a year in advance. All sub- ~ scribers who are more than a year in arrears and who do not renew their ~ subscriptions will be cut’ from the mailing list automatically. j ~The purpose of this step on the part of the Dallas Post publishers is: two fold. First, advertisers and the Pub- lishers’ Association must have certi- fied statements of The Post’s paid-up circulation. Second, many people ‘think the Post is being forced upon them if it is sent to them after their subscription has expired. Advertisers buy space in the Post according to the number of paid-up subscribers on the mailing lists. If ~ subscriptions are unpaid the advertiser assumes that the Post is being sent to people who do not read it and who “do not want it. It is simply a matter ‘The Dallas Post | of business with the advertisers. He wants to know that his message is be- ing read and that he is getting full ~ value for the money he spends in ad- “vertising. The newspaper gains its greatest revenue from the advertiser. Only "through carrying an abundance of ad- vertising can the Post hope to put out a better paper and keep it up to the standard required by its readers. Won't you help the Post to become a better paper and to give its adver tisers honest circulation by sending in ‘your past due subscriptions now? you think there is an error in yon subscription account, the Post will be glad to correct it according to your records only so mailing list is brought “up to date for the circulation auditors. Unless all subscriptions are paid up to 1929 they will have to be taken from the mailing lists. This ‘allows sub- scribers one year in arrears to still get their paper. The date back of the name on the address sticker attached to each copy of the Post tells when the subscription expired or will expire. Er A ZIBA HOWELL By Rev. G. Elson Ruff The tribute to Ziba Howell which any of his close friends might pay would be the record of good cheer, of . integrity, and of inspiration which it was his ability to pass on to others. His life was marked by little charities, the best kind of charities, simply be- stowed on persons in need. It was marked by genuine attainments along the lines of his-life work, making of character, and enlightened minds ‘among the boys and girls he dealt with in the schools. It was marked by something else which is especially dear to all his frends, cordiality, good spirit, courage, the infection of the smile and of true gladness and hearty , living. He was always able to be an exceptionally good man without ever being uncomfortably strait-laced or] Furitanic. His well-developed moral personality and his well-endowed mentality bubbled over with a radiance and hap- piness of soul which everyone enjoyed, and which is lost to us now when we will meet day by day and yet never lost to us, since they will live In our memory and translate them- selves into our own living. ‘ AI MORE ABOUT COASTING Through its editorial columns, the Dallas Post has frequently called at- tention to the dangerous chances chil dren take when coasting on the main highways or on hills which intersect with the main highways. Certain hills in the borough sould be closed to should be closed to automobile traffic and opened as coasting places for the enjoyment of the youngsters. The Burgess of Shickshinny has met the problem in the following manner. The item is from the Wilkes-Barre Record: “Chief Burgess Ritter of: Shick- shinny has issued an edict banning children from coasting on ‘streets and alleys’ in Shickshinny on the Sabbath day. The edict is aimed not so much as simply a Sabbath observance measure as it is for safety. Burgess Ritter reasons that more children have coasting at all times. Other stresis| been coasting on Sunday than on any other day, when there is greater traf- A THE WEEK'S DOINGS An airplane was recently used by the State Game Commission to drop food to wild turkeys and deer in the mountainous sections of Cumberland county. Three hundred pounds of corn and apples were dropped in sacks over various parts of the area by one of the State gamé& protectors. { Commander Bruce G. Leighton, United States Navy, formerly of Tunk- hannock, is cited in a recent issue of the Aero Digest as being largely re- sponsible for the development and adoption of air-cooled engines for gen- eral service use against vigorous op- position in the Navy. The Digest says: “Commander Leighton is a keen stu- .dent of naval affairs with the ability to put on paper his views and con- clusions, which are sound and also some years ahead of the views of the majority of his fellow officers.” - Within the next few weeks intensive work will be started on the highway department's 1930 road building pro- gram. Despite the severity of the winter the department has 132 con- tracts being worked at present. This is a. new record for winter work. Never in the history of the department have so ‘many contractors kept men busy during the winter months on road projects. The work consists of rough grading, work on bridge construction and clearing ground of brush and trees where roads are to be built. Laying of concrete starts about April 1. Coasting out on the State hig-way, Renzy Trivelpiece, ten-year-old son of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Howard Trivelpiece, who live near Shickshinny, was instantly killed last week when he was struck by an automobile. Mrs. Gifford Pinchot recently gave an illustrated lecture on her trip to the South Seas at Montrose high school auditorium. She will also give a lecture before the Parent-Teacher in the giving charge before in this Association at Tunkhannock near future.

Many are set near barns and homes and are without the required name tags, giving the nam® of the trapper. Ollie Jones has returned to Austin’s home. Addn] O——— Birds Named Themselves The peewee named itself by its call. and bob white wrote its name into his greeting. By his call. the cuckoo has made himself an international character, while the chickadee has individualized itself im its utterance. When asked what's in a name. the birds might reply: “We have put most of ourselves into them, and they have been most excellent advertising.” fic. : “The majority of the coasting ac- cidents have occurred on the Sabbath. Renzy Trivelpiece, Wapwallopen boy, was killed in a coasting accident and another Wapwallopen boy was slightly hurt. “Chief of Police Jones yesterday posted signs bearing notice of the coasting ban. oP m 3 i WYOMING COUNTY VOTERS 2 - 2 | FOR REPRESENTATIVE: | | I will be a candidate for the office | #,f Representative in the ‘General | 1 Assembly at the Primary Election Jof 1930, and would respectfully] f solicit the support of the voters.

A Battleship, Havdly. If Russia Got Really Mad. Ogden I. Mills’ Figures. ETRY FORD may spend 100 mil- lion dollars establishing schools that will enable students to “fit into life” ‘when they some out at eighteen years of age. He says: “The reason we have so much crime and racketeering is because scheols do not teach our youn men how fo fit in the world. Racketeering is nothing but a revolt against the present improper ineffectual system of teaching.” Schools at present are better than they were fifty years ago before rack- steering became a science. Students should all learn to use their hands, particularly those not well adapted to using their heads. It would be waste of time for men of the type of Voltaire, Milton, Moliere, Beethoven, to learn a trade, but they are scarce. Mr. Ford should medify his resolu- tion to “devote the rest of his life to educational undertaking.” Part of his effort should produce tractors of the caterpillar type. Plenty of power with the traction “track.” Fully enclosea. Protected from dust. He ought especially to push ahead the aviation work in which he has al- ready rendered great service. Until he has built his plane to carry 500 pas- sengers, and his pursuit plane to go 500 miles an hour, Mr. Ford’s most im- portant work will remain undone. Many can teach trades, few can build machinery for hundreds of millions of people. The British possess the greatest fighting ship in the world, the Rodney, built and paid for. Innocent Senator Borah and Repre- sentative Britten suggested that the British should scrap that ship in the interest of lovely world peace. At that British statesmen smile politely and say they really can’t quite do it. This guileless nation, after the Washington Conference, de stroyed and threw on the junk pile splendid new battleships, including some not completed. And the British destroyed pretty blueprints. They probably would oblige us by preparing and destroying some more blueprints. But when it comes to de- stroying a finished battleship ‘:osting millions of pounds—that-is something else. fome Failure to reach an agreement con- cerning the Boulder Dam improve- ment shows the need of a ghange. in sesses national importance. The va- rious States interested in the Colorado River.act in gcod faith, as do their Congressmen, each seeking to protect its citizens’ interest. Meanwhile the water and power go to waste, unused. It is as though a family of children, inheriting a great estate, should let it lie idle indefinitely through failure to agree oun a division. The nation is interested, and unselfishly. And the nation should settle all power and water disputes when States fail to agree after a reasonable time. The settlement might not be perfect, but it would put an end to foolish waste. Mexico, imitates Britain, raiding pri vate offices of the Russian Govern: ment in Mexico City, seizing papers, etc. As in the case of British raiding, Russia protests violently against the “unspeakable violation of diplomatic rights.” > At present Russia’s protest is not important. But. later flying machine I development might make it impor- “tant. Russia could resent such inci- dents by sending raiding parties through the air striking at great pop- ulation centres of other nations. Re- taliation by the other nations would be difficult. Russia is made up chief ly of two hundred thousand villages. Bombing ter th- =? nf them" would duce no decisive effect. Moscow an. ..ziingirad amount to little as cities, and attacking them would not mean much to Russia. But if “you destroyed Paris or London. you would subdue France or En
