Section A, Article V, Third Para-
graph of the Constitution of the United
States, as originally drafted, reads: “It
shall be the unquestionable right of
any columnist to devote the first col-
umn after any vacation to a report of
that vacation, however uninteresting it
may seem to his readers, it being un-
derstood, however, that any reader may
exercise his inalienable .right to turn
to the next page, or, in cases of ex-
treme abuse ,to shoot the columnist.”
From Dallas to Dallas, by way of
New York, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and Connecticut is, roughly, about
1,750 miles. We got about two anec-
dotes to the hundred miles but in the
gradual decline of our vacation en-
thusiasm most of them have turned out
to be pretty dull stuff, with a few verg-
ing upon what Broadway aptly calls
lousy.

If there was anything newsworthy
about our restless wanderings between
multi-colored gas stations and domin-
eering bill-boards, it was our failure
to uncover a solitary Roosevelt man
past New York.
Unquestionably there must be some-
one in New England who will vote for
Roosevelt. Even as poor a political pro-
phet as us could make that statement
without fear of embarrassment. But ha
must have been out haying while we
were going through.

From Lake Champlain to Moosehead
and back down to Bear Mountain
Bridge we cornered defenseless citizens
and asked them how their State will
go this Fall, Unanimously, they were
for Landon.
The very first man we asked in Ver-
mont, after we'd left the Roosevelt-
Lehman home grounds, was a splendid
old gentleman whose son is in the
State Legislature. “My grandfather”
he declared, “fought in the Revolution,
my father fought in the Civil War and
my son fought in the World War, and.
I'll be durned if I'm not getting: tired
of some of the things that’re happening
in this country.” He sent in the house
for a:powder horn his grandfather had
used at Bunker Hill and a faded por-
trait of his seven sisters who had help-
ed to wrest a home from the Green
Mountain wilderness.

If the nation actually goes as Maine
goes we suspect Landon will be the

DALLAS, PA., FRIDAY,
Intimate Of Trotzky Attacks
: Communism As False Doctrine
JEWISH PREACHER HAS HAD DRAMATIC CAREER
By JEAN ROSS
A former associate of Leon Trotzky, deposed Communist leader, but now
a vigorous crusader against Communism, Dr. Nathan Cohen Beskin, a Russian
has been preaching to huge audiences
at the Free Methodist Camp Grounds in East Dallas.
In speaking of his former association with Trotzky and
“Communism is built on the
hypothesis that by changing the system of government

Fascism, the out-
‘of the people and
for the people,” becomes ‘the people for the government’ ”.

not a Communist, according to Beskin.

NORMAN DINGER HAS
OFFER OF POSITION
IN LYCOMING COUNTY J
/
Norman Dinger, former su is-
ing principal of Dallas Borough
High School, received an offer this
week of a position as supervising
principal of the Picture Rocks Vo-
cational High School in Lycoming
County.
He had not decided definitely
whether he would take the position,
it was reported, but he intended to
visit the school to investigate and
was said to be considering the con-
tract seriously.
Mr. Dinger came to the local
high school last Fall and was given
a three-year contract which later
wag declared invalid by the court
on ‘the grounds that it had been
given by a board which was about
to he reorganized.

Miner Padden, aged 92, Noxen, the

citizens we questioned—felt bitterly
about the mammouth flop and were
steeling themselves against any poten-
tial enthusiasm the President's per-
sonality might produce along the
Coast. No less a personage than the
‘Town Clerk of Yarmouth is the au-
thority for the statement that all New
England will go Republican. Besides
making political predictions, he also
makes unusual sandwiches which bulge
with an odd assortment of tomatoes,
cheese, ham, cucumbers and a few un-
identified ingredients, an accomplish-
ment which has spread his fame along
the Maine Coast.

In justice to the Democrats, we must
report that we found considerable en-
thusiasm for Mr. Roosevelt in New
York State, which, after all, is some-
thing. It is probably significant, too,
to note that the Democrat whose hos-
pitality we enjoyed used to be a Re-
publican. That was about the most odd
circumstance we encountered in near-
ly 1750 miles during which, now that
we come to think of it, not very much
did really happen.
sme l(rene
Our vacation was spoiled temporarily
for us by the strong sense of guilt
which assailed us- after gazing upon
endless miles of rivers still clogged in
places by the logs which lumberman
float down in the Spring to make
newsprint.
It seemed hardly fair that so many
acres of forest land should be cut bare
to provide something to carry these
miserable words. Above Moosehead
lake we saw something of what has to
be done to supply the newspapers of
this nation with paper. All the time,
while we were looking at the great
dams, scarred forests ‘and powerful
equipment which are a part of the
lumbering industry we had difficulty in
erasing a stubborn vision of innumer-
able newspaper pages fluttering in in-
numerable ashouns, :

Arthur Brown, commander of the lo-

Lack of interest in the project and
a number of difficulties encountered
were responsible for the death of the
affair, it was said. Tt is hoped that the
plan can be revived early next summer,
since a number of people had expressed
the desire to enter horses in the event.

Less Than A Thousand Voir =
Separate Leaders In
$500 Contest
Despite the constant shallenge fiom
other contestants who climbed upward
this week on the biggest pile of votes
cast yet in the contest, Jerry Elston,
Eugene Brobst and Betty Jane Whipple
held their first, second and third place
positions, respectively, in the voting to
determine this section’s most popular
baby.
Eugene made a greater gain than
Jerry but was unable to slip into the
coveted firgt place because of the hard
work Jerry's parents ‘and friends had
put in the previous week. Betty Jane
Whipple, who led the contestants the
first: week, held tenaciously to third’
place as the race entered its fourth lap.
The possibility of a shake-up in the
standings next week loomed large be-
cause of the few votes which separate
the leaders. Dorothy Prutzman, who is
tn fourth place, is only 500 votes be-
hind Betty Jane and the next few
names on the roll of hoaor are within
a hop, skip and a jump cf the top posi-
tions. A few subscriptions, a few cou-
pons and any one of them might be
within reaching distance of the $100.00
first prize.
Some evidence of the spread of en-
husiasm is given by ./the fact that
parents are still entering babies in the
contest, alhough it is well on its way.
Ten new names were added this week
and some of those babies are already
ahead of contestants who have been in

The thing to do now is to concentrate
on getting votes, and to remember that
the highest votes are being given aow.
This contest is somewhat differsnt
from the Trade Expansion Campaign
last year, when votes increased as the
contest approached its end. The sche-
dule of votes given on subscriptions,
printed in the advertisement on Page!
3, will illustrate the wisdom of accu-
mulating as many votes as possible be-
fore September 12, when the first peri-
od ends.
: Contestants who have any questions
to ask or need suggestions or advice
are urged to visit the Baby Contest
Headquarters on Main Street whenever
they like. The office is open until 7
each evening -and until 8 p. m. on Sat-
urday. Miss Ross and Mr. McCormick
are always pleased to.greet visitors.
Voters are urged to have their votes
for the week in Saturday night or
early -Monday morning if: they desire
to have them counted in the week's
returns. The ballot box is opened each
Monday morning, when the votes are
counted.
All subscriptions must be turned in
by.Saturday of each week if the votes
are to appear in the following week's
paper. This is important. The counting
of the votes is a long tedious, careful
process and the co-operation of the
contestants will do a great deal to con-
tribute to the success of the contest.
The leaders in the contest so far
have learned how to enlist the support
of their friends, who are willing to
trade at any of the coupon stores and
renew their subscription to The Post
to assist their favorite baby.
Incidentally the beautiful silver lov-
ing cup which will be awarded with
$100.00 to the winning baby is on its
way to Dallas and will be on display

was closed and partially filled in with
rock. Mr. Wilner, who lived in Wilkes-
Barre then, forget about the book. A
few years ago he moved to Shavertown
and retired.
Recently operations at the abandoned
mine were resumed and John Ryan,
one of the several employes engaged
to clean out the Pittston vein, found
the old book, saturated with the damp-

On Item
Howard Hallock of Shavertown was
named part-time teacher and supervis-
or of music of Dallas Borough High
School at a meeting of the board of di-
rectors on Wednesday night.
Mr. Hallock will spend half his time
at the local high school and the other
half at Moosic. His appointment com-
pletes the school faculty, two ap-
pointees, Howard Tinsley and William
A. Moran having been named last
week.
Directors opened bids on coal and
general supplies. William. Cobleigh was
awarded the contract for supplying
coal, at his bid of $3.70 a ton. Other
bids were referred to a. committee for
investigation and tabulation.
The first bill under the increased
rates of Dallas-Shavertown Water Co.
was received and although the district
did not exceed its minimum charge of
$10 a. month per building the indicated
$240 a year water rent will exceed the
budget allowance by $90 and is more
than double the water rent last year.
The directors will try to have service
discontinued during the summer as an
economy measure.
A list of forty items of needed re-
pairs was studied and about ten of the
job will be done by persons working
out their school taxes. ‘Specifications
will be prepared on other jobs and bids
sought. ;
WL C. Shepherd was authorized to
make an appraisal of school property
before certain insurance policies are
renewed.
A lengthy discussion was held with
‘Tax Collector Arthur Dungey over dis-
puted items on his 1934 and 1935 dupli-
cates. Finally, a motion was adopted
relieving Mr. Dungey of liability on his
1935 duplicate as soon as auditors ap-
prove his accounts. The action will not
relieve delinquents who have not paid
their 1935 taxes.
Mr. Dungey was appointed delin-
quent tax collector -and will make an
effort to collect uncollected amounts on
his duplicates. He will function under
a separate bond of: $400 and will re-
ceive a 5 per cent commission.
