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

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.
