Although the men he surcharged felt
frequently that he carried his consci-
entiousness to extremes, the late
Charles Cooke, when he was auditor
for Dallas Borough, displayed a zeal
which is recalled with nervous shud-
ders by many men who felt the weight
of his passion for obeying the laws,
however minor.
Mr. Cooke was a deep student of
municipal law and his broad know-
ledge of the subject made him the per-
fect auditor. Other residents of Dallas
recall a~-number of incidents which, al-
though they were aggravating at the
time make good humorous stories now.
For instance there was the case of
the hitching post lantern. The lantern
hung on the post at Huntsville and
Main Streets and was lighted every
evening at dusk. The handiest—and
probably the only—place to get kero-
sene was a Store nearby which was
owned by a councilman. Without the
slightest idea that he was doing any-
thing wrong, the constable had the
five-gallon can filled at the council-
man’s store. Since the can had to be
kept in the store so the lantern could
be filled afresh there every night it
was a fair enough bargain.
The cost of kerosene for a year was
eighty-seven cents. The bill was duly
recorded and paid to the councilman’s
store. But when Mr. Cocke studied the |
books for the year he shook his head |
gravely over the eighty-seven cent item
for kerosene. Legally, the borough
could not buy anything from one of its
elected borough officers. Holding firm
to his sworn duties, Mr. Cooke refused
to allow the item and surcharged the
embarrassed councilman for the full
and total amount of the eighty-seven|
cents he had received for the year’s
supply of kerosene.

Celebrates Eightieth
In a little green-and-white house at the south
close by Huntsville Dam, lives B. Frank Bulford, the last of the fifty-two men
who, in 1878, signed their names to the petition which made Dallas a borough.
Last Sunday Mr. Bulford, who is hearty and alert and only last month was

Seven generations of Mr. Bulford’s
family have lived on American soil,
his great-great-great-great grandfath-
er having founded Wallingford, Conn.,
in 1670. His grandfather, Albon Bul-
ford was a sea captain and some of
|his relics are preserved by Wyoming
Historical and Geological Society.
Mr. Bulford’s great-great grand-
father, Rev. Jacob Johnson, spent
thirty years of active work in ministry
to the Indians of Connecticut and
Northeastern Pennsylvania and found-
ed the First Presbyterian Church of
Wilkes-Barre,
Mr. Bulford’s father, John, owned a
farm which was located where the cen-
ter of Dallas Borough is now. The
home in which Mr. Bulford was born
stood where the Lehigh valley station
is now and his father kept a store
labout where the Commonwealth Tele-
phone Co. offices are.
The rough rutted road which cut
through Mr. Bulford’'s farm later be-
came Dallas’s. Main Street. Along it
farmers from this section drove their
teams of horses or oxen on the long,
tiring trip past Bloody Run, over the
narrow road through the Luzerne nar-
rows, past the toll gate and on to
Wilkes-Barre to sell their produce.
Mr. Bulford recalls trips to the city
vividly. The farmers started at dawn
and, since it was difficult sometimes
to sell their hay or produce immediate-
ly, it was dark when they reached
home again. Mr. Bulford chuckles over
the time he drove his team of oxen to
the city and about Public Square pull-
ing a load of hay. In those days, oxen
were invaluable for hard work on
rough land and drivers developed a
great pride in the pulling-power of
their yokes.
During the Civil War, Mr. Bulford’s
father organized a company of local
reserves and Mr. Bulford remembers
how, as a youth, he watched with deep
admiration the regular drills of the lo-
cal militia, captained by the senior
Bulford, with a feather in his hat.
Although Dallas always was smaller
than the towns about it, it was a cen-
ter for Fourth of July celebrations and
|were pioneering here were tough, har-
dy farmers and woodsmen and their
get-togethers ended many times in
rough-and-tumble fights which were
as much a teature of the program as
lany other scheduled item. “I never
looked for a fight” Mr. Bulford ex-
plains, “but sometimes I had to protect
myself and I never got hurt.”
The center of population in those
days was north of Dallas and the pre-
ponderance of votes in the Kunkle sec-
[tion resulted in giving that region most
|of the major town offices. Finally the
‘people in the lower section rebelled and
|circulated petitions for a separate and
|incorporated borough. Mr. Bulford was
one of the signers. On April 21, 1879,
the charter was granted and the boun-
|dary lines were set.
| Dwight Wolcott was chosen first
{burgess and the councilmen were
{Jacob Rice, Ira D. Shaver, William
‘Snyder, Theodore Ryman, Charles Hen-
(derson and Philip T. Raub.
The new railroad, built primarily to
{tap the rich lumbering region around
| Harvey's Lake, cut directly across the
{Bulford farm. It was ironic that Mr.
| Bulford’s mother should be killed by
ithe first train that passed through the
town. She lost her life when she at-
{tempted to save a horse that was in
|the path of the locimotive.
| Later the Bulford home was razed
land the Lehigh Valley depot was ecert-
ed on the spot.
| Although he helped to separate Dal-
ilas Borough from Dallas Township,
Mr, Bulford now finds himself living

|has been in the Bulford family for
|nearly 100 years. He moved there
{when he was thirty-two years old.
Today, although he does not culti-
{vate all the land he owns, he is active
[about the farm. Last summer he tend-

performs his chores without help.

CITE EXAMPLES
Charges that Noxen school board is

in the schools which might be elimi-
through ‘government-financed
projects which would give work to un-
employed men of the vicinity were
made this week by Noxen Branch,
No. 41, Luzerne County Unemployed
League, Inc. 3
Signed by a committee which has as
members William Besecker, Edward
Saxe and John Heddis, ang authorized
by four officers of the Noxen Branch,
the charges follow:
1. That the condition of the boys’
toilet and that of the girls’ is unsani-
tary and unclean.
2. That coal fumes from the fur-
nace seep through the building and
cause headaches.
3. That drinking fountains are un-
clean. :
4. That parts of the larger build-
ing need plastering. y
,5. That facilities for escape in case
of fire are inadequate in the larger
building.
6. That similiar conditions exist in
the smaller building. :
7. That the tannery sump is only 300
feet from the schoolhouse and that on
|damp days windows have to be closed
|because of the sickening odor.
“The question is”, the statement con-
cludes, “is: the school board going to
allow these conditions to go on for-
lever or do the citizens have to start
action? Let’s have inside toilets and
clean fountains for our children, as the
school directors have in their homes.
Let's give the unemployed some pro-
jects on which they can work. Let's
paint the buildings and fix them up
while we have the chance to do it.”

critics were especially generous in their
praise of Mr. Tracy's acting as Quin
Hanna, admittedly an pnusually diffi-

Even in New York critics agreed
upon the cleverness of the acting. They
were divided, though, upon the play it-

after critics had disapproved it was the
concensus of opinion that it lacked the
elements necessary to make it a hit.
