THe DALLAS POST 1s a youthful weekly rural-suburban newspaper,
Ww ned, edited and operated by young men interested in the development of the
eat rural-suburban region of Luzerne County and in the attainment of the
ighest ideals of journalism. Thirty-one surrounding communities contribute
weekly articles to THE POST and have an interest in its editorial policies.

~ “Get acquainted with your competitor you may like
him” is a good thought. Why not fight in this game of
: business and politics the same as we do in
athletic games. If an opponent beats us
by fair methods, more power to him. We
do not hate a man because he is a better
golfer that we are.

A moviment was started this week which may have
‘culmination in the establishment of a hospital in the
~ back mountain region. Those back of the
project have been assured strong financial
[MUNITY support and meetings will be held within
[OSPITAL the next few weeks to determine public
sentiment with regard to the project.
¥ Those instrumental in starting the movement believe
at there is a need in this county for a hospital located on
gh ground amid quiet surroundings and away from dis-
‘tracting noises of city traffic. It is their belief that there
‘are many suitable locations for such a hospital in the back
I ountain region and if established that such a hospital
vould meet with the united support of towns in Wyoming
[ ounty as well as all of the communities of the back moun-
tain region and many of the communities of Wyoming Val-
surgeons and nurses can
ot work efficiently among the distracting noises of city
traffic. ~ r
eT ‘Such a hospital would be non sectarian and free from
1 commercial connections. It would be a community en-
erprise backed by some of the wealthiest men of the re-
gion. It is one of the ideals of the backers to get away
from the old millionaire and pauper idea in the manage-
ment of the hospital. Rates S and fees they believe should

Primary Notes
The voting machine was a White
washing machine for a lot of the cam-
didates on Tuesday.
Nathan Hale had only one life to
give to his country but plenty of mo-
dern patriots had only one vote to
give for five dollars.
If the fire company could souce all
fires like it does its clam bakes, in.
surance men would soon be out of
business. :
Excitement ran high at the polling
places in Kingston township where
there was unusual interest in = the
school director contest. In one of the
polling places partisan supporters were
not content to fight it out at the polls,
but resorted to fighting it out with
fists outside of the polls.
Enthusiastic supporters of candidat.
es and tickets had most of the polling
places, bridges, poles and sHuildings in
the vicinity of the polls covered with
pictures and cards of their favorite
candidates long before the actual vo-
ting began.
The day was ideal to get a large
number of voters out. Before nine
o'clock it was evident that the largest
vote in the history of the back moun-
tain section would be polled.
It. cost $300., last Saturday
day for the county to move two trucks
loaded with gravel from the county line
near Centermoreland to the county
road near the Ambrose West Farm.
Ten men were employed to fill the
trucks and forty to unload them. Men
employed doing the work were so dis-
gusted that fully half of them voted
against the county organization in the
primaries.
Elections board officials appeared to
take a keen interest in explaining the
voting machine and everything . pos.
sible was done to help the voter under.
stand its workings. :
Dallas borough voters were confus-
ed when they found all of the candi-
ates for school director listed under
the six year term with instructions
to vote for one. The mechanism of
the machine was set for one vote so
that it was impossible . to cast two
votes. Two directors are to be elect-
that all three candidates, Jack Rob.
erts, Dr. G.'K. Swartz and J. T. Jeter
will run again in the November elec-
tion.
