Ira Cooke’s Death
Ends Long Battle
Was One Of Few Who Could
Name All The Streets
Of Dallas
(Continued From Page 1)
Mr. Cooke was one of the few men
in Dallas who knew the names of all
the streets in the borough and a few
years ago he compiled the only ex-
isting list of streets. He made blue-
print copies which are a valuable aid
today in most local business places.
When Harry Anderson died, Gov-
ernor Pinchot appointed Mr. Cooke
justice of the peace. In 1935 Mr.
Cooke ran for election successfully
and began a four-year term in Janu-
ary, 1936. Aside from his business
and official duties, he displayed a keen
interest in the progress of this sec-
tion and was ever ready with con-
structive ideas.
He was a member of Dr. Henry M.
Laing Fire Co., the local units of the
Junior Mechanics and the I. O. O. F.
- and the First M. E. Church.
The funeral will be held Friday
afternoon at 2:00 p. m. from the
home, with Rev. Francis Freeman of-
ficiating. Interment will be in Wood-
lawn Cemetery.
Besides Mr. Cooke’s mother, Mrs.
Charles Cooke, a sister, Mrs. Arthur
Clemow of Trucksville, and a brother,
Claude, Fernbrook, survive.

POST SCRIPTS
(Continued from Page 1)
“So many men in this world are go-
ing nowhere in particular that when
one comes along—even though he be
amusing and insignificant—who is
really (and passionately) going some-
where, what a stir he communicates
to a dull world! We catch sparks of
electricity from the very friction of
his passage.”

the November election is my personal
opinion,” declared Dando.
“After Scalps of WPA Men”
“Despite all the previous statements
of Director Hopkins at Washington
and Banks Hudson at Harrisburg,
local WPA leaders are out after the
scalps of every WPA worker who
failed to heed the warning and change
his registration to Democratic,” Dan-
do continued. p
He produced statements signed by
eighteen men who had been employed
on a project at East End Boulevard
and who were transferred to another
project, 34 miles away, because, ac-
cording to Mr. Dando, they were
wearing Arthur H. James for Gov-
ernor buttons.
Attorney Dando told The Post of
another instance in which registra-
tions were received from an address
which is a school building.
It will be several days before reg-
istration figures are complete, Chief
Clerk Brace said. Minority County
Commissioner John A. Riley reported
his tabulations show the Democrats
are leading by approximately 6,500.
His figures are: Republicans, 107,083;
Democrats, 113,605.
A year ago several persons were
brought to trial charged with false
registration but no convictions have
been secured to date.
In the section about Dallas Repub-
licans strengthened their lead during
the most recent registration period
and are estimated to have at least a
two to one majority.
