Postscripts (Continued from Page 1) But on top of all that, one of the last phone calls I received at The Post was from a lady whose name and address had appeared in the social column. “Young man,” she said, her voice shaking with emo- tion. “I live in Dallas, not Fern- brook.” Well, that was that. One of my pet reforms was the construction of a centralized sew- age system for Dallas and Kingston Township. I wrote long and in- volved technical articles on the ben- efits of a centralized sewage system. I spoke to the proper authorities and helped provoke the annual Ac- tion against the haphazard sewage disposal means of Dallas. I even ran what I thought would be a community eye-opener, and the clinching argument for The Post’s campaign for better sewer systems —a cut of a sewer pipe emptying into Toby’s Creek, spreading conta- mination and shame for all to see. But I made the mistake of labell- ing it “A Dallas Garden Spot,” and the accompanying caption was just too, too facetious. Much of the de- tail I had planned on showing—tin cans, the sewer pipe itself, and a few other unsanitary items—didn’t ap- pear clearly enough in the picture. As a matter of fact, the whole ef- fect was rather nice and the paper received, if I recall correctly, num- erous communications compliment- ing it on a vivid example of the sylvan beauty which is one of Dallas’ best assets. No one could say I didn't try, anyway. The sidewalk situation will, I suppose, be taken care of the time under the suspices of the WPA. About all I could do to promote that was to write stirring stories on the progress of the latest project. I wish the sidewalk committee would take cognizance of conditions on Lehman Avenue, however. I got my feet wet walking into the office this afternoon. I never knew enough about The Post’s plans for a centralized police system to write anything about it, one way or the other. In fact, all I know about the police force to this day is that if Chief Stevenson does- n't catch speeders at Harvey's Lake,’ Pop Covert will. And if he misses up, one of the Kingston Township gendarmes will do the honors. All other matters of more im- portance have always received the cooperate action of the police here- abouts, and why say changes should be made, at least until a real crime wave comes to town, is more than I know. But that line about central- ized police forces looks very nice in the masthead, and it may stay there from now until doom’s day, as far as I'm concerned. When I spoke in guarded tones about taking politics out of local school systems, I merely took the masthead at its word that the sit- uation was acute. And, subsequently, the more I looked into local school affairs and became acquainted with the school board members, the less case I could build up. In fact, the only real stand, as far as I can recall, that I took in the school situation related to the old Goss Manor school house. A young matron of Dallas Township gave me to understand that conditions in the building weren’t all they should be. I wrote a story about it, and the very next day Chris Eipper came to see me. The school board didn’t have enough money to build a new school house, Civic Program or no Civic Program, and that’s all there was to it, he said, and banged my desk. When the reserve fund be- came large enough to effect any ne- cessary changes, such changes would be effected, he said, and banged my desk. Furthermore, he said, it wasn’t a good policy to run stories counter to the school board without first consulting the board. And he banged my desk. Then he banged the door, That was enough for me. There- after I confined my efforts to writ- ing accounts of PTA meetings and spelling bees, and left local school politics for posterity to handle. That concrete highway from Dal- las to Tunkhannock seemed to be proceeding in the right direction during my term with The Post, and I was quite willing to leave that matter in the hands of the state and settle for the By-Pass and the re- paving of Main and Bennett Streets in Luzerne. I stayed long enough to see both come to pass, but as soon as I left I learned that the Dallas to Tunk- hannock highway was to avoid Dal- las entirely. Fine stuff. That shows how things can go all to hell if you don’t keep at them. When I think that I could have saved that part of The Post’s program from the fate it has now met by concentrating on it, my blood boils. But what’s done is done . . . The more I think about it, the more I realize that I didn’t come to be the Voice in this community that I had hoped to become. But I maintain that in other respects I upheld the traditions of The Post and the trust its publisher put in me. I wrote in glowing terms of Col. Reynold’s live-stock sales—a custom which I took on when I came, and one which has survived my regime. I interviewed, as others had be- fore me, all the likely old characters hereabouts. Since their longevity SWEET VALLEY Christmas exercises will be held at the First Christian Church, where Rev. Ira Button is pastor, on Sat- urday night. The choir will sing a special program and the children of the Sunday School will have a part in the festivities. Santa Claus will make a personal appearance. McKinley Long, who has been ill, is about again The parsonage of First Christian Church has been renovated and makes a fine appearance. has now become a matter of course, I suppose that the men who follow Rees and myself will interview them again and again in the years to come. I wrote of the Dallas Junior Wo- men’s Club, of the Frantzes and Hil- debrants and Roods and Shavers and Olivers and Schooleys and Conynghams and Majors, of Old Dal- las institutions, of new Dallas insti- tutions, of the hopes and fears of local businessmen, of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars and Rotarians and Kiwanians, of the passing of the street cars and coming of the buses, of the PTA’S and alumni associations, of Pete Oberst’s barber shop and Hayden's bar, of churches and schools, of young people and old people. I wrote of Dallas. I wrote The Post. I think I wrote just enough to qualify as a country newspaper- man, and at least a near approxi- mation of a Postscripter. I wrote next to Rees. I wrote next to Risley. And I wrote next to that pine tree and the split-rail fences . . . but I've written so much to justify my- self as a guest columnist that I'll have to postpone my own whimsical philosophy until next week.
