No. 30
Dallas Council Accepts Citizens
Petition For Fire Protection and
Asks For Adaquate Water Supply
To effect a
organization of persons’ interested
the civic betterment of Dallas, a com-
munity meeting will be held Thursday
night in Dallas Borough high school.
All residents of voting age are invit-
ed to attend the and many
matters of community importance wiit
be discussed.
The meeting is the outgrowth of two
meetings held this week by Dallas cit-
izens. The first one on Monday night
in Dallas high school when an organ-
ization of Dallas residents was per-
fected to assist the community in sec-
uring improvements such as an ade-
quate water supply and fire protection.
Capt. C. N. Booth was elected tem-
porary chairman of this meeting ana

tary. After some preiminary discus-
sion, H. IL. Fortner, manager of the
Dallas-Shavertown Water company,
spoke of the improvements in water
facilities at the Spencer well, where a
double action pump has been installed

ry engineer of the Public Service com-
mission with Capt. C. N. Booth at the
water company offices on Monday
morning. Mr. Curry, according to
leader in the
in
Mr. Shindle, said that the local water
company had been warned by the
commission a year ago that -it must
take steps to improve the local water
supply but had failed to do it. He
said that the company will be given
a reasonable time to make
ments and if no permanent relief is
guaranteed outside help will be re-
quested by the commission, preferably
from the Scranton-Spring Brook Wat-
er company. The latter company has a
reserve of ten billion gallons of water,
enough to carry Wyoming Valley over
a severe
drought. The Huntsville: reservoir,
which lies within the limits of Dallas
borough, has a reserve: of a billion
gallons alone.
A motion was made that the secre-
tary of the Citizen's committee write
to Engineer Curry and ask that the
Dallas Water company furnish a. de-
tailed report of pending improvements
to its local system and monthly re-
ports of its actual improvements.
A standing water committee was ap~
pointed to be ‘made up of V. A. Shin-
dle, Capt. C. N. Booth anda W. C.
Shepherd. Mr. Shepherd spoke -brief- |
ly,. asking that the water company
furnish information regarding its cap-
abilities to put into effect contemplat-
ed improvements.
Burgess Anderson assured the! meet-
ing of his co-operation to do every-

adequate fire protection for the bor-

raised this would be offset by a low-
ering of fire insurance rates.
On the following night these peti- |

COAL MINE FATALITIES
DURING MONTH OF JUNE|
Accidents in the coal mining in-
dustry of the United States in June
resulted in the death of 119 men, ac-
cording to information received from
state mine inspectors by the United
States Bureau of Mines, Department
of Commerce. Twenty-five men were,
killed in the anthracite mines of Pen-
nsylvania; the remaining 94 deaths
occurred in bituminous mines in var-
ious states. The producton of bitum-
inous coal during the month was
33,714,000 tons and anthracite mined
amounted to 5,183,000 tons. Thus,
for every million tons of bituminous
coal mined in June there was a cor-
responding death rate of 2.79 while
that for the anthracite coal produced
showed a fatality rate of 4.82, and
for the industry as a whole a rate of
3.06 was shown. This record is more
favorable than that for June a year
ago, when there were 123 deaths, 38,-
580,000 tons of coal mined, and a. fat-
ality rate of 3.19 in the bituminous
coal fields and a rate of 7.30 per mil- |
lion tons, based on .37 ein and 5,-

A. P. KEIFER HAS
MODERN WATER SYSTEM
-
While many Dallas resideats have
been without water for household use
during the past few weeks, ‘there is
at ‘least one man in the community
who has no worries about the water
supply. That man is A. P. Kiefer
of Shrine View, who has his own
ater system and pumps to take care
of the water supply for his home,
grounds and greenhouse. The plant
is modern in every respect and pumps
water from a nearby spring which has
never been known to go dry even dur-
ing the most severe drought.

Editor of the Post:
Believe It or Not
But, John Wilson, who is past 79
vears of age, saw the first bear in
his entire life at Harvey's Lake re-
cently. He saw hundreds of bare
backs, bare legs and bare heads the
same day. John thinks, however,
that Bruin with his shiny coat ana
agile extremities has got his bipea
competitors, with their skinny, blem-
ished and sunburned appendages, beat
by a mile. John also wonders wheth-
er the fathers and mothers of the ad-
ult generation, -if they could come)
back for a moment and view the con-
ditions of this day, would not gladly
and preferably return to the period of
their youth. This experience and ob-
servation from a man who began his
earthly career in a log cabin-and who
has steered a shovel plow for many
a day behind a half-broken pair of
oxen, besides enduring the vicissitua-
es and stimulants of many a county
Democratic county convention, is I
think worthy of comment.—Morris.

The most interesting thing about
America, in the eyes of foreigners, is
the speed with which we change our
habits, customs and way of living.
Life in" America seems very exciting
to Europeans, accustomed to a social
structure in which every indiv
never moves out of it.
In America the only constant thing |
is change. And our lives, our busl-
nesses, our whole scheme of exissence,|
are predicated upon the probability,
that, whatever we may be doing this]
year, the chance .is better than even |
that we will have to do something else |.
f
next year. Wherever we live today,
we 'may be living a thousand miles
away tomorrow.
One of the principal causes of this;
constant shifting of bases is the speed!
with which new inventions are devel-
oped and put into practical and gen- |
eral use. They affect everybody to|
some degree; they probably affect the]
farmer more than they do any other |
single class.
= Twenty years ago there were eigh- |
teen million acres of farm land in the |
United States growing fodder for]
horses, for example. Now 25,000, 000)
‘motor vehicles have displaced the]
horses and these machines get their |
fodder from the oil-wells. The black-|
smith and the wheelwright have dis-|
appeared, but in their places we have |
a million and a half men working for |
wages as .drivers of motor trucks, tol J
say nothing of the garage workers and |
other people employed in looking after
from the farms. They no longer pro-
duce their own food. So there is an
offset to the farmer's loss on his hay
and oats. He must grow more food
for people, less for horses.
Artificial silk, the product of a mod-
ern invention, has almost ruined the
cotton market;r women prefer silk,
real or manufactured from wood pulp,
and invention has ® cheapened both
kinds while incomes have increased so
that tens of millions who used to have
trouble buying enough cotton goods
for clothing now can dress in silk, or
its imitation, rayon. Now a new pro-
cess for getting a sugar substitute
out of cotton seed may bring cotton
back as a profitable crop.

With but three scheduled games to
