v PE = THE POST, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1 Tee 939 rr Ea Ly Ne Sr CE \ x TIL PAGE THREE Board Urges Delinquent Taxpayers To Grasp Opportunities For Savings Bccrued Penalties Will Be Abated In Exchange For Prompt Payment Before Forced Sales Begin Hundreds of dollars will be saved by delinquent taxpayers in Dallas Borough if they take advantage of new legislation which will cut heavy accrued penalties from their obligations if they begin installment pay- ments before April 1. : Dallas Borough School Board has adopted a resolution urging property tax delinquents to famil- jarize themselves with the provi- sions of the new legislation and avail themselves of the benefits of- fered. The same advantages apply, of course, to taxpayers in other communities in this section and to ‘borough taxes. The opportunity is particularly significant because the State has de- creed that, come what may, prop- erties on which taxes are delinquent must be sold beginning not. later than February 1, 1940. The act offering relief to delin- quents was approved by Governor James last month. It provides for the abatement of all unpaid penal- ties and interest on property taxes for 1934 and all previous years. It also permits the abatement of all penalties imposed on such taxes for the years 1935, 1936, 1937 and 1938 if the taxpayer, before August 1, makes his first installment pay- ment of 20 per cent of delinquent taxes for 1938 and previous years. Thirdly, it eliminates further in- terest on 1935, 1936, 1937 and 1938 taxes if payments are begun by August 1 and continued promptly. Delinquents who fail to take ad- vantage of the concessions, offered may face the sale of their property for taxes and will have deducted from the bid price the full amount of taxes, plus all penalties and sher- iff’s costs.

The salary will be $4,500 ; Self-Conscious Candidates Must Rvoid This Piece - Mr. Riche, Foe Of Bunk, Overhears ‘Interlude’ Bs Rudience Suffers By JAVIE AICHE Your correspondent lacks the genius of Eugene O'Neill, but the divine spark really is not needed to touch off the explosive mental re- actions of the public to the average political speech. Men who aspire for office hypno- tize themselves into the queerest of all possible beliefs; they undergo a metamorphosis that has no counter- part excepting in the emergence of the butterfly from the chrysalis. There is a ‘Strange Interlude” at every rally. No one pays particular attention to it because everybody is affected by it. Its revelations would be stranger to the candidates than the O'Neill tragedy. So why not give expression to the thoughts of the audience ? Something like this, for instance: The candidate is speaking: “Ladies and gentlemen: When I gaze about this group and see reflected the fine Americanism of men and women descended from the (Irish or Ger- man or Polish or Slovak or Welsh or English) racial heritage I am glad to be able to say my maternal grandmother was born in the land of (ditto).” The subconscious audience: “He’s a liar; his grandpeople were all (any other descent).” The candidate: “What a privilege is is to live in this great land of opportunity.” The subconscious audience: “Huh! Wonder if he ever look- ed for a private job?” The candidate: “When I look across these green hills and fertile valleys— The subconscious audience: “Where does he see any green? Everything’s burned up.

He was here four years ago looking for votes and we’ve never seen him since until now.” 5 The candidate: “I don’t like to make speeches—" The subconscious audience: “Oh, no; of course he don’t; but HOBBY OF A STAR —~ ~ Norma shearer has as one of her hobbies the care of her flowers at, her Santa Monica beach home.

Saw him this morning down at Billy’s Bar and he was talking to six fellows waiting for someone to buy them a drink.” The candidate: “Those people ask- ed me what I wanted with this of- fice of (any office at all) and I re- plied that I really didn’t want it—"’ The subconscious audience: “He didn’t want it any more than he wants his life.” The candidate: ‘My candidacy was really forced upon me. In the first place I desired to propagate more of public service and I started with the intention of lending my support to someone who would rep- resent my ideals.” The subconscious audience: “His ideals are a public payroll and regular paydays.” The candidate: “I got to the place where it was either myself as a candidate or a loss of my self- respect.” The subconscious audience: “He means loss of a place to loaf.” The candidate: “When I am elect- | ed—" The subconscious audience: Upholstering Free Estimates { i PAUL B. SMITH Rr. 16 N. Main St. Wilkes-Barre | — PHONE 38-0231 — ] FRENCH DAHLIA NEW BLOOM FOR A rare dahlia, originated by A. Pezant, famous French horticultur- ist, has been named for Mrs. George S. Sawyer of Church Street, Dallas, whose large gardens contain many of the finest flowers in this sec- tion. A picture of the “Mrs. Sawyer,” a large flower of curving form, with beautiful soft rose on silver on the reverse side, appears on the new catalogue of the Garfield Heights Dahlia Gardens. Only four of the plants, which sell for $10, have been released in this country this year. Mrs. Sawyer received a bulb of her namesake from Mr. Pezant and made several plants of it. She is EXPERT NAMES DALLAS WOMAN exhibiting one in Nay Aug Park, Scranton, where the Northeastern Pennsylvania Dahlia Society has its garden. Since it will be several weeks be- fore the new dahlia blooms, Mrs. Sawyer is awaiting anxiously her first glimpse of the flower which bears her name. The Sawyers, who have five lots devoted to flowers, planted 1,000 chrysanthemums this year. The dry weather has made it a busy summer for Mrs. Sawyer, since the flowers must be cared for carefully, but her gardens are in amazingly good shape and are expected to achieve their full beauty in a few weeks. “When he’s what?” The candidate: “I intend that my desk shall be open all standard hours of every working day -and there will be no lock on my door and no calling cards. I want you people to know I am your servant— The subconscious audience: “He means he’ll serve us with apple-sauce and absent treat- ment.” The candidate: “I've tried to point out for you the reasons for my be- ing here and the reasons why I should be elected.” The subconscious audience: “What reasons?” The candidate: dear friends— The subconscious audience: “Look out; he’s going to start shaking hands.” The candidate: “I'll be around to see you again before election day—"' The subconscious audience: “Unless some one buys him off.” The candidate: “I have nothing to say against my opponent—"’ The subconscious audience: “You ought to hear what he whispers.” The candidate: “Vote for me as one who understands your prob- lems and wants to help you.” The subconscious audience: “Wonder if he’s good for a five- — SPECIAL — INVISIBLE SOLES « « » Shoes made to look like new. — SAVE WITH OUR — Profit Sharing Cards “And now, my Mullay’s Shoe Rebuilding For Quality and Service LUZERNE, PA. 55 MAIN ST. spot?” The candidate: “Let's keep our party slate clean and regular.” The subconscious audience: “He bolted the ticket four years ago.” The candidate: “In the words of (Daniel Boone or Abraham Lincoln or George Washington or Woodrow Wilson or Franklin Roosevelt or Alf Landon).” The subconscious audience: “What’s he running for?” The candidate: “I leave you with assurance of your kind consideration and liberal support.” The subconscious audience: “He’ll fall dead when he sees the returns.” The rally ends—with everybody cheering.
