‘When we saw in the papers that]
Norman Thomas was going to speak
at Wilkes-Barre we knew we would
have to go to hear him.
In the first place it would be a ges-
ture of gratitude to the omly political
party which doesn’t burden us each
‘morning with requests for free publicity.
In the second place we have always
had a quiet suspicion Mr. Thomas
would make a good President. And in
the third place we wanted to see what
kind of people Socialists really are.
Now of course for most of the people
the choice of two parties is enough. The
mental effort of deciding between those
two takes up a good bit &f the waking
hours between June and November. So
the Socialist Platform is scarcely read
by any except a few zealots or news-
paper editors who read it under the
heading of Keeping Abreast With
Things.
It wasn’t, however, the Socialist
Platform for 1936 that lured us across
the flood-swept wastes of Kirby Park
last Tuesday night. It was more the
curiosity to see in their native haunts
thos ardent souls who have no idea of
winning the Presidential election and
therefore cannot expect the rewards
which stimulate so many of the sup-
porters of the Elephant and Donkey.
We wanted to see, in other words,
if it is ‘still true that people can fol-
low .a man because of what he is, in-
stead of what he can give—and we
wondered if perhaps we might detect
‘some spark left from the blaze which
‘had been lighted 160 years ago by those
other rebels.

LOCAL OPTION ISSUE OF FALL ELEQTION"
The likelihood of a close battle in Dallas Borough, Dallas Township and
Kingston Township this Fall over local option loomed this week as opposing
forces prepared to launch vigorous campaigns.
Spearhead of the attack against the sale of liquor in the three communi-

DRIVE CHAIRMAN
Company will have funds to finance it~
which the company hopes to use even-
tually for the construction of a new |
home and community building.
Drive Was Experiment
The drive for funds was an experi-
ment, the company having previously
used such money-making events as
carnivals and stage
raise money. Usually a large part of
the receipts went to other organiza-
tions than the fire company and occa-
sionally the events resulted in losses
to the company.
The success of the drive, which be-
gan about six weeks ago, will eliminate
the necessity for any money-making
events during the next year. :
Clark Thanks Town
Peter D. Clark, chairman of the
drive, yesterday expressed his heart-
felt thanks to the solicitors and the
contributors who had made the drive
a success. : 3
“The generosity of the people who
contributed more than $700 to the fire-
men’s drive is full evidence of the fine
spirit which is typical of the people of
Dallas Township and Dallas Borough.
I hope they realize how deeply the fire-
men are grateful. bd

success of the drive to the volunteers
