BURGESS SMITH PENS POETIC GEM
IN HONOR OF WILCOX’S BIRTHDAY
PORKER CREATES FUSS
ON TOWN’S MAIN STEM
AS IT EVADES CAPTORS
A little black pig, which ran wild
on Lake Street Sunday afternoon,
gave a group of townsfolk a merry
chase.
Dean Ide, “Bud” LeGrand, Bill
Templin and Andrew’ Lumley were
the first to test their agility -and
wind against the agile little pork-
er. They had it “eemrf€red when
Chet Tutak and Arthur Hauck ap-
peared and gave valuable assist-
ance,
When the little pig had been
captured, Mr. Hauck explained it
was his and carried it off.

Christmas Mail Burdens
R. F. D. Men And Extra
Clerks
Santa’s sleigh will not be more
crowded tomorrow might than the au-
tomobiles which ply the rural free de-
livery routes about Dallas have.been
this week. £
Breasting a fod of Gta mail,
an enlarged staff a e local post of-
fice has been working at top speed all
week. Joseph Polacky, postmaster,
believes the volume is greater than in
any recent year and expressed opinion
that the record of the local office may
be broken.
Early in the week the R. F. D. car-
riers found the load too great for ordi-
nary conditions and had to remove the
seat cushions and make other changes |
in their cars to accommodate the mail.
With their work doubled, the carriers
were compelled to work late deliver-
ing.
One and one-half cent stamps, used
for mailing Christmas cards, were sola
out on Tuesday and Mr, Polacky had
to make a rush trip to Wilkes-Barre
for more. Anastasia Kozemchak and
Eleanor Machell were added to the
staff of clerks and Mrs. Polacky vol-
unteered her services without pay but
even the larger staff had difficulty in
coping with the last-minute rush.
Mr. Polacky was grateful to the
large number who responded to a re-
quest for early mailing. He said many
local folks did their mailing some
weeks ago and thereby relieved the
burden on the post office,

Declamation Is Feature Of
Surprise Party For
Morgan
—
CAREER REVIEWED
Forsaking his burdensome executive
duties for the nonce, Burgess Herbert
A. Smith of Dallas courted the poetic
muse last week and composed an epic
poem which he read, with gestures, on
Friday might at a surprise party for
Councilman Morgan Wilcox.
It was Mr, Wilcox’s birthday and to
help him observe it Mr. and Mrs.
Peter D. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde
Lapp, Mr. and Mrs. James Ay
cilman at his home and stage
lightful party in his honor. 5
Burgess Smith’s unique composition,
read as a climax of the affair, was
easily the hit of the evening. A life-
long friend of Mr. Wilcox, the Bur-
gess drew freely upon his knowledge
.| of the guest of honor’s career, partic-
ularly that part relating to his family’s
fondness for fast horses. Lest the
poem be lost to posterity, The Post
herewith publishes it:
In days gone by a boy was born
To the Wilcox family, who owned a
barn
Under the South Street Bridge, by
darn.
The Wilcox’s were horsey hellions,
They talked of their sires and dams
and stallions.
Although they seldom won a race,
They still kept on with a smiling
face.
The boy grew up with the Wilcox
clan
‘Who tried to ake him a, horse fan.
Said his Uncle Jim, “You can be a
contender
For ownership to a horse like De-
fender.”
But Morg replied to his Uncle Jim,
“My chances here are mighty slim,
There’s a crowd of Wilcox’s, all
broken and sound,
And not enough horses to go around.”
So Morg, he went to Syracuse,
And of his time he made good use.
He played football, mid shouts and
yells, .
And told Uncle Jim to go to H—.
So Morg, he left the horsey class,
He studied hard, and finally passed.
He shunned such things as a hor-
sey life
And took unto himself a wife.
Morg came to Dallas one glorious
fall
And bought himself
Hall”.
He prospered, and lived a happy life
With comfort galore and not a strife,
“Old Sunset
He then was made a City Boss
And ran the town without a loss
And ever since, he has lived in the
sticks,
And swapped tall lies with all the
hicks.
I sec Morg’s face is turning red
And more of this may turn his head,
So now my story must quickly close,
For I expect a sock on the nose.
Mrs. Florence Hoppes and Mrs.
Oberst visited Mrs, Edna Majyer on
Thursday.
