THE DALLAS POST PROGRAM

Suburban territory which it serves to attain the following major improve-
ments:

5. Closer co-operation between Dallas borough and surrounding townships.
6: Consolidated high schools and better co-operation between those that

‘8. The formatien of a Back Mountain Club made up of business men and
home owners interested in the development of a community consciousness in
Dallas, Trucksville, Shavertown and Fernbrook.

POLITICS parently and the abuses of power, if there
pa have been any, are not flagrant or dan-

~~ Now it seems likely that the schools here will be cata-
pulted into a political battle similar to those which have
done great damage to the local system before. In every case
where the control of the schools is made a political prize the
schools suffer. The politicians always win, the community
always loses.
Dallas has entrusted the conduct of its schools to cer-
tain directors. If they fail in their duty there are electoral
provisions for replacing them with directors who the com-
munity feels might do better, but as long as they are direct-
ors they deserve a fair deal and freedom from political bat-
tles which have nothing to do with. the school system.
We do not favor dictatorships which over-ride public
opinion, but on the other hand we are confident that the
success of any school district rests upon its detachment
from peanut politics.

There is in Dallas today a better feeling of harmony
and accord among business men than there has been in some
years. It is a condition which warms the
DALLAS hearts of those public - spirited men who
GETS have long felt that the lack of organiza-
TOGETHER tion here was having a decided effect on
general business conditions.
~The current trade expansion program will, of course,
be only a temporary thing but it will serve as a bond to unite
the merchants for more permanent affiliation. In itself it is
proving that Dallas merchants, once their interest is justi-
fied, can be aggressive and modern in their merchandising

advantage of it.
Another encouraging factor is the formation of the new
Business Men’s Association, with Peter Clark, one of the
most aggressive and popular résidents of the borough, as
president. This organization can be a powerful help to local
business men as it gains strength and can serve the com-
munity in a variety of ways.
- All in all, the business men of Dallas are to be com-
mended highly and congratulaied,

Nature is repeating Boreslt Last year she brought the
greatest drought in history to the great American mid-west,
turned millions of acres of rich wheat land to desert, and
had the laugh on the puny efforts of mere man to control
production.
As if that lesson weren't severe enough, Nature is again
menacing crops—dust clouds recently swept day after day
across the vast mid-west wheat country. The area affected
includes over 50,000,000 acres of wheat land. The result, un-
less late rains do the unexpected and remedy the situation,
~ will be an inconsequential crop.
The Secretary of Agriculture has removed certain res-
triction on the planting of spring wheat. This is expected
to cause a rise of from 10 to 30 million bushel in the normal
spring crop.

Although he climbed a 50-foot tower and “skinned the
cat” on his 95th birthday, Dr. Edwin Osbaldeston of New
Jersey is mindful of the uncertainty of life and is shopping

mortician, but thinks he will yet be able to get himself put
away for an even $100.

New Bakery Here
New Addition To Borough's
Business Section
Welcomed
A new business enterprise is wel-
comed to Dallas this week with the
opening on Saturday of the Schindeler
Bakery in the Sullivan building on
Main street.
During the past several weeks the
store room has been completely reno-
vized and re-decorated. Bake ovens,
electric mixers, steam plant and all of
the other equipment necessary to a
modern bakery have been installed in
the rear of the building while the front
will be used as a display and sales
room,
The new bakery will be in charge of
John W. Schindeler of Scranton, who
expects to move here with his wife and
eleven year old son within the next few
weeks. Mr. Schindeler has been en-
gaged in the baking business in this
country for the past twelve years hav-
ing come here from Holland. He has
a number of brothers also engaged in
that business, one of whom has a bak-
ery in Scranton.
In commenting on his location, Mr.
Schindeler says that he has signed a
five-year lease on the building and
that he expects to have a bakery truck
on the road starting Monday. Other
routes will be added as business de-
mands,
Township Board
Names 4 Teachers
Dallas Township School Board named
four new teachers at its meeting on
Monday night. Three of the teachers
will be assigned to elementary grades
and one was appointed for the home

mics, Grace Merritt, Plains.
Old Paper May Be Original
(Continued from Page 1.)
Garfield has been expressed clearly in
the Southern States and in Europe.
“The courts of kings and queens were
clad in mourning, the bells of English
rural churches tolled, memorial services
were held in great cathedrals, and
European newspapers, with every sign
of grief, discussed with sympathy and
intelligence the pathetic event.”
There is a prophetic note struck in
the editorial entitled ‘Pennsylvania
Politics”, The Weekly deplores politi-
cal organizations which stifle differ-
ences of opinion and concludes: “In-
dependent Republicans know the nec-
essity of organization quite as well as
“boss” Republicans, but they will not
support a venal despotism on the
ground that government is indispens-
able. It is “bossism”, not opposition to
it, which endangers the Republican
party, and while the question of fight-
ing it within the party is one to
carefully considered, it must not be
forgotten that to play politics with a
boss is to throw with the
whose dice are loaded.”

in the contest was a torn and tattered

60 Local Contestants
' (Continued from Page 1.)
The day, was a busy one for the seven
stores sponsoring the campaign and for
the contestants who were out to gain
an early advantage in the contest. As
a result of the unique contests at each
business place, a, great many humorous
and interesting incidents occurred,
The oldest woman to brave Tuesday's
storm was Mrs. Durland from Shaver-
town, who is 89 years and eight months
young. She was presented at Dallas
Dairy by Mrs. Harold Rood, one of the
leading contestants.
The tallest man to enter Gregory's
Store was E. Wagner of Dallas, who
measures six feet, five inches, He was
taken to Gregory’s by Mrs. William Nie-
meyer, who was one of the most alert
contestants on Tuesday.
Robert Hislop, Jr., another outstand-
ing entry, won the 10,000 free votes at
Devens Milling Co. because he intro-
duced the youngest grandmother, his
mother, Mrs. Nellie Hislop, aged 40.
The largest hen’s egg was taken to
Frantz’'s Grocery Store by Robert Eip-
per, one of the most youthful but one
of the most aggressive of the contest-
ants. The egg, owned by Leslie Moss
of Star Route, Dallas, weighed five and
three-quarter ounces. A number of
surprisingly large eggs were entered.
The oldest licensed driver to appear
at Oliver's Garage was Robert Cox of
Trucksville, 75 years and six months
old. Robert Hislop, Jr., was the winning
contestant there,
For some reason—perhaps the slen-
der diet of depression days—there was
a notable lack of heavy men at B. anr
B. Supply Co, where the prize was to
be given to the heaviest man. Not a
single entry was received.
One hundred thousand free votes and
surprise gifts were awarded to the win-
ners in each contest.

low:
