The elimination of petty politics from all Schl Boards in the region wvered by THE DALLAS POST. 0) ; This newspaper has never advocated a “Buy at Home ampaign.” Economically we know that such campaigns are unsound in principal, that no community and no country can exist unto itself. There are, however, many fea- tures in any buy at home campaign that are commendable and helpful to the home community, and when we speak of home community as applied locally, v we mean Dallas, Shavertown and Trucksville. = In the first place a spirit of neighborliness should ~ prompt us to use local labor and buy from local merchants ~~ as much as possible consistent always with fair prices for the product purchased whether labor or merchandise. Secondly, we know that only through following such a course can we hope to have skilled workmen in our home community and good stores located here. As a matter of convenience to us all we should want these people located bere. © * Perhaps the best sort of buy at home campaign is that which at least gives the local merchant, local mechanic and local laborer an opportunity to present his figures before we buy. The slogan for such a campaign might be “See ~ Your Neighbor First”. If he can’t meet the prices of out-of-the-community - workers and merchants that is his problem, we at least have been good sports enough to give him the first opportunity to sell his labor or his wares. Among the first to try this plan, and who should en- dorse it through their action are the merchants, fechanies and laborers themselves. SPORTSMANSHIP » “# * In these days when so many people are in urgent need, how tragic it is to pay out good American dollars to Mol- och instead of paying them to men eager for work. Make no mistake about it, the Fire God, Moloch, exacts his toll : when property is consumed by flam- es. Nothing can restore lost life, and while fire insurance does provide the funds for rebuilding, the destroyed prop- erty cannot be re-created. It is gone forever and the na- tion’s store of materials is permanently reduced by that ~ amount. How may workmen be paid, instead of this fire de- ~ mon? Much of the $442,000,000 fire loss estimated by the National Board of Fire Underwriters for 1932 could have been prevented, if certain simple improvements, additions or changes had been made. In many structures one finds vertical openings such as staircases, elevator and dumbwaiter shafts without any protection whatsoever. A fire starting on the lower floors. can spread upward with amazing rapidity, perhaps involv ing all floors. The flames often trap occupants of the up- per floors, and claim them as victims of a horrible death. '* Hollow walls extending from cellars to attics are a similar menace in dwelling houses. All vertical openings could be inclosed with incombustible material and fire stops should be placed in hollow walls at each floor level. Wth the most of labor and materials at the present low level, such improvements may now be made inexpen- sively. The work would provide a much needed income for unemployed men. Pay workmen instead of the demon God of Fire — Moloch! PAY WORKMEN INSTEAD OF MOLOCH SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVES—American Press Asseciation, 225 West | « Siftings » Did you ever hear of a hen that eats potato bugs? We never did until Corey Anderson who lives out in Dallas township told us about a Plymouth Rock he had a few years ago. It seems the fence around the chicken yard and running as fast as she could for the potato patch. Once there she was con- tented and walked down one row after another all day long picking the pota- to bugs from the vines on either side of her. As every farmer knows, chickens do not usually eat potato bugs, but Corey Anderson’s hen did. She died a few vears ago before Corey realized what a wonderful fowl she was. Had he only hatched some of her eggs and picked out the chicks that liked po- tato bugs he might have had a for- tune today. Every farmer would have wanted a few of those hens. Think of the money they would have saved on potato bug exterminators, as well as time and labor. Then, too, such hens would be cheap to raise as their cost for food would have been reduced to the minimum. Odd as this story sounds remember polled cattle started with one calf that never grew horns. All of the polled cattle of the world are decend- ents of that calf. All of the great pac- ing race horses of the world trace their ancestery. back to one famous stallion. Every farmer knows the val- ue of selective breeding. Hens with a taste for potato bugs was a great op- portunity for Corey Anderson but he missed the chance. a —Alderson- Ross Garinger, Lelia Cobliegh of Dallas and Cletus Sweezy of Kunkle spent the week end at Richmond Vir- ginia.
