Rotary’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt
Planned For This Year At Fernbook
( Park On Saturday Before Easter Day
Earl H. Monk, of Shavertown, Ap-
pointed General Chairman of Af-
fair—Plans Larger Event Than
Ever
A TREAT FOR THE KIDDIES
Local Treops of Girl Scouts to Lend
Cooperation in Preparing and Hid-
ing Eggs
Dallas Rotary’s annual Easter egg
hunt for all children of all communi-
from Luzerne to Noxen, and
which was started two years ago and
is made an annual feature of Rotary
community service work, will be held
in Feirbiocok Park the Saturday b=
fore Easter.
Committee Active
Earl H. Monk, who as chairman of
the Faster egg hunt committee, has as
its members oRtarians C. N. Book,
H. S. VanCampen, William Geyer,
Clarente Boston, George Russ, Thom
Higgins, Bert Stroh, Calvin ZK McHose
and Russell Case, is making plans to
put thé affair over on a much larger
and better scale than ever. The com-
4mittee plans to have hid several hun-
dred more eggs than at any previous
hunt. Any person living in this com-
munity who wishes to donate any kind
of Easter eggs to the hunt will kindly
get in touch with Earl Monk at his
store at Shavertown.
Due to the steadily increasing num-
ber of children who attend the’hunt
each year, it is becoming quite a cost-
ly affair, and the more eggs con-
tributed the more for the kiddies. Per-
sons who also wish to donate colored
eggs may do so. :
" The Fernbrook Park management
has once again donated the use of the
park to the oRtary club for the hunt.
The park makes an ideal place, af-
fording many hiding places for the
eggs and can be divided for the va-
rious classes in regard to ages.
Girl Scouts Hold
Enjoyable Party
Girls From Various Local Troops
Enjoy Games and Scout Work
At Social Affair
“The Girl Scouts from this vicinity
had an unusual treat last Saturday
when they were entertained at a
juvenile party by the members of
Troop No. 19, Trucksville, of which
Miss Frances Keeler is the captain
and Ruth Crawford, lieutenant.
Early in the afternoon Girl Scouts
Dallas, Idetown and
Shavertown, together with members
of troop committees from those towns
joined with the Trucksville Girl
Scouts all gayly dressed as much
younger children, many were the hair
ribbons worn and the dolls and toys
carried, which resulted in the follow-
ing being awarded prizes for their
costumes: Jean 8. ‘Zimmerman,
Troop No. 30, Lehman; funniest cos-
tume, Elsie Johnson, Troop No. 17,
Dallas. Honorable mention was given
to the following: Mary Anne Laycock,
Betty Culbert, Ruth Crawford, Frances
Keller, Charlotte Monk, Emma. Shaver,
Mildred Isaacs, June Beatty, Mrs.
Anna Dressel and Mrs. Elsie Beatty.
The judges who awarded the prizes
were Mrs. A. S. Culbert, Mrs. Ruth
Kintz, Miss I.ou Montanye, Mrs. A. D.
Hull and Miss Lenore Robinson.
A colorful ceremony was held at the
opening of the program when a flag
ceremony was held, the United States
and troop flags having been carried
by ILizaura Hughes, Ruth Bennett and
Jean and Edna Billings, following
which Mrs. A. S. Culbert, district
chairman, awarded the following
badges: Second class, Charlotte
Monk, Mildred Isaacs, Grace Farrell,
Marguerite Patton, Beatrice Williams
and Dorothy 'Ayers, all members of
Troop No. 9, Shavertown; laundress,
Della, Riddell, Florence Gemmel, Char-
lotte Parsons, Alberta Lyne, Edna
Billings, Ruth Bennett, Jean Billings,
TL.eah Richards, Emily Lewis and
Laura Hughes, all members of Troop
No. 19, Trucksville. Pansy flower
crests were also presented to each
member of Troop No. 9 through the
kindness of their troop committee of
which Mrs. Martin Porter is the
chairman.
A number of important announce-
ments were made by Mrs. Culbert
which included the following: A
laundress course to be given by Mrs.
"William Geyer at her home in Shaver-
town; a hostess course to be given in
the Methodist Church, Shavertown,
starting on Wednesday afternoon,
April 9, by Mrs. Frederick Hillman, a
member of the Wyoming Valley Coun-
cil Girl’ Scouts; a training course for
troop committee women and rmothers
of Girl Scouts to be started on Thurs-
day evening, April 10th, in the TLauth-
eran Church, Shavertown, under the
direction of Miss Edna Reese, director.
All of these courses have been
planned for those interested in the
particular subject and includes mem-
bers of troops in Trucksville, .eiiman,
Dallas, Idetown as well as those from
Shavertown.
A program of games was held un-
der the direction of Miss Ruth Chap-
man and Frances Keller, who showed
talent in directing a large group and
keeping every one interested. The
troop committee assisted with the de-
tails of the party and much credit is
due ther

RECALLS RIVALRY OF STAGE
COACH TO MAKE FAST TIME
Appearance in widely circulated na-
tional weeklies of advertisements call-
ing attention to transcontinental bus
lines which traverse Pennsylvania re-
minded General Edward Martin, State
Treasurer, that at one time four com-
the,
panies operated stages on the Nationcy !
Pike, then called the Cumberland road,
a leading avenue of East-West travel.
“The companies engaged in stagink
on the old pike,” said General Martin,
“were the National Line, Good Intent,
June Bug and ithe Pioneer. No one
now living recollects how the ‘June
Bug’ Line received its name. Relays
were estabished at a distance of from
ten to tweve miles and there are some
records of quick changing that would
make a modern Jehu turn green with
envy. An old driver still boasts of
harnessing his four horses in four
horses in four minutes and of chang-
‘ing teams before the stage ceased
rocking. Ponderous trunks were
strictly forbidden, each pasenger be-
ing litmited to fifty pounds of baggage,
and there was careful weighing in
those days.
consisted in not more than nine pas-
sengers. As many as fourteen coaches
have traveled together with the 100-
odd pasengers. If there was a mail
coach among them, the ‘toot, toot’ of
the driver’s horn added to the gaiety
of the scene; and when a wayside inn
was reached, and the pasengers disem-
barked for refreshments, what joyful-
recognition, uncorking of bottles, and
the like were there!”
Mail Service
“In those days through mail coaches
left Wheeling at 6 a. m. and twenty-
four hours later dashed into Cumber-
land, Md., having traversed a dis-
tance of 132 miles. Occasionally there
were delays, ‘but these were not per-
missible upon the completion of the
Baltimore and Ohio road to Cumber-
land.
A way mail coach, which both
deposited and received mail at all
stations, left Wheeling at 7 a. m. each
day. Despite its extra. duties, it man-
aged to overtake the through mail
before entering Cumberland. Ohio
river steamboats arrived at Wheeling
as late as 10 a. m. with pasengers
booked for the train to leave Cumber-
land at 6 o'clock the next morning.
One hundred and thirty-two miles up
hill and down hill, fording rivers and |
crossing mountains, but connection
must be made; and it was, though at
a heavy cost to the company. Such
fast trips, however, could only be in-
dulged in by the wealthier classes.
Early Records
“Stage drivers were ambitious. A
true test of their mettle was the de-
livery of the President’s message. The
letting of contracts by the Postoffice
Department hinged on these deliveries
and if a driver failed to make good
time it meant the cancellation of the
contract with his employers, and the
transfer to a rival company. Dave
Gordon, a noted driver, once carried
the President's message from Wiash-
ington to Wheeling, a distance of
thirty-two miles in two hours and
twenty minutes. He changed teams
three times in this distance. Bill
Noble, who died in the ’80’s, I believe,
claimed to have made the best time
on record. He professed to have
driven from Wheeling to Hagerstown,
Md., 185 miles, in fifteen and a half
hours. >
“In 1852 coaching began to decline.
In that year the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad was completed to Wheeling,
and thereafter stages to and from
Cumberland were hauled by two
horses instead of four. Finally there
was only an aged-looking coach ply-
ing betwen Washington and Browns-
ville, twenty-four miles east. The
dog trot of yesterday is a miserable
contrast to the quick time of modern
busses. In olden days drivers’ orders
were to make the time or kill the
horses. - Teams were driven ten miles
at a full run. If a horse dropped he
was quickly unharnessed, *and if un-
able to travel further, was drawn
aside and the journey resumed.”

Nice Fund Raised
Dallas School Board Hears Associa-
tion Report Made By Prof. Bowen.
Over $250 Raised This Season
At the regular meeting of the local
school board on Tuesday evening,
Professor Bowen, supervising priu-
cipal, presented a complete report of
receipts and disbursements received
from athletic and dramatic events
during the past year that were held at |
the local gymnasium. |
Professor Bowen reported that the |
bill for installing the showers, amount-
ing to $125, was paid to R. L. Hallock,
local plumber.
Besides this bill over $100 more was
realized and in view of the fact that
this was the first season for basket
ball in Dallas, this amount was very
good. The dance held by the Dramatic
and Athletic Association netted close
to $100 of this amount.
Makes Contributions
The school directors voted to con-
tribute $50 to the piano fund and $25 |
to the curtain fund. $20 was received
from the local fire company, being
rental for the hall for two evenings.
To Seed Lawn
Immediately upon close of the school
term on June 1st, preparations will be |
made to seed the lawn, and to have |
various shrubbery planted in. the fall. |

Hoibert Hoover
A Business Man
Says Stockbridge
In Interesting Article National Writer
Portrays President Hoover As On
the Job
‘By Frank Parker StockkBriidge
(Special to the Dallas Post)
Washington, -D. "'C. April i: 4—I
| came to Washington to see President
Hoover. He had just completed his
first year in that office. I wanted to
ask him personally what he believed
he had accomplished in that year,
what he hopes or expects to accom-
plish in his remaining years at the
head of the Government.
The President -was frankness itself.
In the course of a conversation which
stretched on toward two hours he
answered my every question ‘wiith
such fuliness and such phecisiion of
detail that one of my unasked (ques:
tions answered itself.
That question was: “Does Presitdent
Hoover realize what he is up against?”
And the answer is: “He does.”
A Business Man
Since the United States become a
nation we have had just two busi-
ness men in the Presidient’s chair.
One of them was George Washington.
The other is Herbert Hoover.
‘George Washington had won finan-
in business before
he became President. Herbert Hoover
stanted on his own with nothing and
from a large proportional income was
independently wealthy at forty. He
got his indepedence out of the
ground, was George Washington did
Washington as a farmer and dealer in
land, Hoover as a miner.
And, liike George Washington
again, Herbert Hoover is an engineer.
In our time it is new etaoin tao
to have at the head of the Nation a
man trained in the operation of great
enterprises, accustonmed to the man-
agement of men and money on a
large scale.
One does not have to agree wiith
Mr. = Hoover's [point of view nor in-
dorse the policies of his party, to
recognize his ability or even to con-
cede his greatness in the sphere of his
life’s work. And that sphere is that
of the administrative engineer.
It was apparent that such a man
must have a different approach to the
problems of administration than that
of the politicians who have previous-
ly filled the Presidential office. Man-
aging the affairs of 120,000,000 of. the
richest and most prosperous people in
the world perhaps might not seem
so much different, to him, from man-
aging the affairs of the big corpora-
tion,
I wanted to find out. We have
been talking so much in America,
about a “businiess Government,” that
I was ‘curious to discover whether a
man with a practical, business point
of viiew could get away with it in
reality.
Thinks Straight
There has been a lot of loose talk
to the effect that the President be-
cause he has never been a politician,
is being banboozled, hornswoggled,
befuddled and otherwise fooled by the
politicial gentry who inhabit Capiitol
Hill. Don’t you believe it. Herbert
Hoover not only knows what is going
on, but why, and who is behind it.
And he knows, better than some of
them do themselves, just which
Senators are going to come back to
Washington and which are going to be
slipped gently into political oblivion.
Nobody quotes the President un-
less he has personally prepared the
statement for publication. No news-
paper man who hopes to have another
chance to talk to him writes what the
President says to his in confidence.
But you can stick a pin in this:
President Hoover is. no political
amateur.
No Brass Band Politician
He does not play politics with a
brass band or a big stick. There is
nothing of the playactor about him.
The arts of the politician which appeal
to the emotions are totally foreign to
his nature. It is impossible to imagine
him posing for dramatic effect
or engagng in ‘verbal denuncia-
tion of his poltical opponents. But
the man ‘who organized and ad-
ministered the Belgian relief and made
Germany like it, who ran. our own
Food Administration and persuaded
us that sawdust was good to eat, who
as Chairman of the Supreme Economic
Council which absolutely ruled all
Europe during the eight months be-
tween the Armistice and the signing
of the Treaty of Versailles, figuratively
as well as literally had the nations of
the world eating out! of his hand, who

borough several stone rows of fences
provided the council would provide a
