decided to secede and on April 21,
1879, Dallas Borough was chartered
by the court and the town was ]
split. An ironic fact is that Mr.
Bulford, who was a leader in the
movement to withdraw from the
township, later moved out of the
borough and back into the town-
ship.
The names of the Rices, the Shav-
ers, the Rymans, the Irvings and
the Kunkles punctuate Mr. Bulford’s
reminiscences of old Dallas.
It was John J. Ryman, according
to Mr. Bulford, who founded the
first store in Dallas, on the prop-
erty now owned by C. W. Space.
Mr. Ryman, who once built a private
telephone line from Wilkes-Barre,
later had a store near where the
Acme Store stands today. Later the
establishment was bought by a Mr.
Stevens.
Sawmills Lined Creek
The chief industry in Mr. Bul-
ford’s youth was lumbering and he
recollects that the creek was lined
with sawmills in those days. Shaver
and Ryman operated one of tHe
largest, near Fernbrook. They
owned between 500 and 600 acres
of timber and burned slabs to gen-
erate steam for the mill. Their

Highlights From The Reports
Rt The 25th Annual Meeting
A litter of 12 pure-bred Berk-
shire pigs at the W. H. Conyng-
ham Orchard Knob Farm con-
sumed 7,063 pounds in 180 days
and grew into more than a ton
of live pork. At the end of the
test-period of 180 days they
weighed 2,340 pounds, which
meant that they had eaten 3.15
pounds of feed for each pound
they gained.
Luzerne County isn’t usually
associated with wool growing,
but 4,067 pounds were sold here
last year, ‘at 29 cents a pound.
Eighteen growers pooled their
wool
The herds of Col. Dorrance
Reynolds of Dallas Township top-
ped the producers in the Colum-
bia-Luzerne Cow Testing Assoc-
iation again last year. Colonel
Reynold’s herd, which averaged
over 37 cows, had an average
milk production of 9,132 pounds.
J. D. Hutchison, county agent,
and J. S. Hummer, assistant
agent, travelled 26,531 miles, or
more than once around the world
at the equator, during the last
year. They made 894 farm visits.
Some 4,655 persons turned up
for the meetings conducted
throughout the year by Miss E.
Nitzkowski, home economics ex-
tension representative. They
learned to cane chairs, darn
stockings, make clothes, plan
menus, test textile and study
something called “buymanship.”
Nearly 24,000 copies of circu-
lar letters were mailed by the
Farm Bureau in the last year.
Scarcely a day passes without
a request for some practical as-
sistance from Miss Nitzkowski’s
home economics department. For
instance, under Home Manage-
ment alone, Miss Nitzkowski lists
T2 requests for information about
kitchen equipment, 161 requests
for information about home fur-
nishings,; 74 about household or-
ganization and 115 about furni-
ture care and repair.
The work of the Farm Bureau
isn’t confined always to farming.
In recent years it has been call-
ed upon frequently for advise in
developing turf. Last year it as-
sisted a ‘committee from Irem
Country Club in fertilizing and
cultivating its links.
Last year Luzerne County cat-
tle received their triennial test
and once again the county be-
came an accredited area with
over 99% per cent of its cattle
free of tuberculosis,

Rives’ La Jolla column back in
August, 1938. “When I met Rives,”
Emmons writes, “I told him I want-
ed to be a writer, as he was, and he
remembered this, and offered me a
job when he got his paper here in
Princess Anne. I am his printer's
devil, which I think is the right
place for one to start out in the
newspaper world.”

—_—O—
One of our scouts with a scien-
tific bent has been spending his
spare time this winter completing
a pretty accurate survey of the dif-
ferent ways to slip on the ice. He
says there are really only three
basic falls: The Pile Driver or Teeth
Loosener; The Discus Throw, and
The Godoy Crouch. The Pile Driver
is the most common, but No. 2,
The Discus Throw, is the most
graceful to observe.
In The Pile Driver both legs leave
the ground simultaneously, toes up,
heels down, and describe an arc
which lowers the upper part of the
body into violent contact with the
sidewalk. This style is frequently
accompainied by one or two words
expressing surprise or pain, their
character depending, to a great ex-
tent, upon who happens to be with-
in listening distance. A variation
is No. 1A, which is achieved when
the head jerks backward suddenly
and strikes the pavement with a
thud. This kind of a fall happens
mostly on slight grades.
"No. 2, The Discus Throw, takes
practice. In it, the subject raises his
left leg slightly, crooking the knee
to make a right angle. The right
arm shoots suddenly backward and
downward, and the left goes up
stiffly to maintain balance. This
leaves the subject teetering on the
ball of the right foot. If he is agile,
he regains his balance, picks up his
packages and goes on. If he is not,
he moves into The Pile Driver style,
and drops. like a log.
The Godoy Crouch is named in
honor of the trailing arbutus from
Chile and is similar to the position
Ambling Arturo assumed in the
fourteenth round of his fight with
Mr. Joseph Lewis. In this one, when
the subject feels himself sliding, he
shoves his hands against the side-
walg, sometimes slipping to one
knee, and looks very much like a
sprinter waiting for the gun. This
is the least damaging of all.
Our man intended to extend his
research, but on Monday, in the
middle of one of his experiments,
he stepped onto a strip of wet ice
and tumbled down a ten-foot bank.
It ended his study for the time be-
ing.

—O—
Walking along the street recently,
a friend or ours saw approaching
a young man whose uniform was ap-
parently out of some Victor Herbert
operetta. As the smartly-dressed
young fellow drew near he clicked
his heels, bowed stiffly from the
waist and thrust something toward
our friend.
“We'd like to have you try a
stick of our chewing gum,” he said,
stiffly. Our friend accepted the gum,
and searched for some way to indi-
cate, not only his thanks, but his
appreciation for the smart appear-
ance the young man made, standing
there like the statue of a drum
major.
“Do you do this all the time?”
our friend asked.
The stiffness disappeared. The
boy’s shoulders sagged. “Yeah,” he
complained, shooting his words out
of the corner of his mouth, “I gotta
do this the whole damn day.”

erected not far from the mill, a

today.
Captain Rice also operated a saw-
mill, along the creek on Mill Street,
behind the present Acme Store. Be-

only swimming pool handy to Dallas
youngsters. Albert Lewis ran a
sawmill on Lake Street, near where
Two of the earliest stores were
owned by Ira Shaver and James
Graham. Mr. Graham's store was
on the site of Frantz’s store. The
first shoe shop was on Huntsville
Street, half-way between Main |
Street and the school. Originally |
owned by Abe Huey, it was later |
sold to a Mr. Bealer. 2
The first physician Mr. Bulford
remembers was Dr. Spencer, who
lived in the present residence of C.
A. Frantz. Later Dr. J. J. Laing
came here.
Mail service was twice a week,
and it was considered quite a mark
of progress when delivery was im-
proved to three times a week.
For years worship was held in
homes. The first real church was in
what is now known as Sunset Hall,
at Center Hill and Lake Street
There were two doors, Mr. Bulford
recalls. The women entered one,
the men the other. Later, the
church became a broom factory,
and a church was built on the site of
the present Dallas Methodist Church.
In Mr. Bulford’s opinion, Harry
