Most unfortunate of all, it seems that malicious gossip

attention which prove on re-check to be nothing more or

realm that cannot be controlled. A thoughtless remark
can grow like an ugly mushroom into a shout of hate. We

Why the knowing winks

It is an easy
matter, after all, to check back and get the truth. And

Qur pantry shelves are stocked
abundantly with Ivory soap, guar-

The soap has been vastly improved
by a secret chemical change in the

months, but as it is still ninety-nine

pure, the manufacturers must have
slipped in a little something as an
antidote to the extra goodness. All
the cakes of soap are minus their
outer jackets, because their outer
jackets have gone to Cincinnati at
the rate of two a day, one large

2nd Meningitis
Case Averted
Quick Treatment Saves
Dallas Township Girl
The quick action of a local phy-
sician last week may have prevent-
ed a second spinal meningitis fatal-
ity in the Dallas Area,
When Irene Stofila, 15-year-old
Junior at Dallas Township High
School and daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Stofila of Fernbrook, was
ill. Wednesday afternoon
and returned to her home, she was
stricken
immediately treated with a power-
ful spinal meningitis remedy by Dr.
Malcolm Borthwick.
A culture of her spinal fluid was
taken by Dr. Hayden Phillips and
submitted to Kirby Health Center,
where no trace of the dread germs
were reported discovered. It was
suggested, however, that the power-
ful medicine administered by Dr.
Borthwick may have eliminated the
disease before it had a chance to
spread.
Miss Stofila has been confined to
her home, located on the Goeringer
plot in Fernbrook, and cultures tak-
en from all members of her family,
including her parents and four
brothers and sisters.
No other symptoms of the disease
have developed and the young girl
is reported to be in excellent condi-
tion this week. Squire John Yaple,
State Health Inspector for this area,
claims there is no cause for alarm
among residents of Dallas township.
A Wilkes-Barre girl, Patricia Han-
agan of Carlisle street, at whose
home Miss Stofila was a visitor
about two weeks ago, was reported
Tuesday as having spinal meningitis
and is being treated at her home.
This is considered strong evidence
that Miss Stofila was suffering from
the disease before receiving treat-
ment from Dr. Borthwick.

Council Will Consider $10,000 /
Bond Issue At Meeting Tonight
Confronted with a seriously over-
taxed budget, members of Dallas
Council will discuss tonight the flo-
tation of a $10,000 bond issue . . .
second largest in the history of the
borough . . . it was reported yester-
day.
The issue has been proposed to
offset steady drains
caused by the ambitious road im-
provement program now being car-
ried on and the return of three
roads to borough maintenance by
‘the State.
Although a $30,000 WPA appro-
priation has removed cost of labor
from the budget, materials, truck
hire and other expenses have run
far ahead of normal maintenance
expenditures, and with the return
of Lake and Church streets and the
Dallas-Fernbrook road to the care
of the borough, additional funds
must be secured, according to Coun-
cilman Morgan Wilcox.
on finances.
If passed, the bond issue may
mean a tax increase of three mills
to handle interest payments, and
amortization will be over a period of
at least 15 years.
The funds will help finance a road
improvement program which has
already seen extensive repairs to
and which will include ditching and
curbing of Norton and Machell ave-
nues and Spring street. Work has
completed, workmen there will be
shifted to Norton avenue.
The largest bond issue of the bor-
ough . .. $20,000 . . . was floated 20
years ago when the construction of
Lake street was undertaken. The
debt limit of Dallas, however, has
never been approached, and the
issue now under consideration can
easily be carried by the borough, ac-
cording to Mr. Wilcox.
Hit-And-Run Principals Hailed
Into Domestic Relations Court
Harvey's Lake Man Is Involved In County's
. Screwiest Case; Lake Cops Protest Ruling
Culminating a case that would confound the best legal minds in the
country, the principals in a hit-and-
run accident which occurred at Har-
vey’s Lake last month were this week referred by a Wilkes-Barre Justice
of the Peace to a hearing before the Court of Domestic Relations.
In-
volved in the outlandish proceedings were Harold Boice of Harvey's Lake,
plaintiff in the hit-and-run case,
and John McGinnis of Cedar Lane,
Wilkes-Barre, defendant. At a hear-
ing before Squire Joseph Murphy of
Scott street, Wilkes-Barre, Tuesday
night, both men were ordered to
appear before the Court of Domes-
tic’ Relations on October 3 . . . a
judgment protested in vain by both
Chief Ira C. Stevenson of the Har-
vey’s Lake police force and his as-
sistant, Patrolman Fred Swanson,
who argued that Boice and McGinnis
were obviously not man and wife
and hence not under the jurisdiction
of the court.

With an enthusiastic group in at-

sion of the Henry M., Laing Volun-
teer Fire Company was held Friday
night in the hose house on Mill
street.
Feature of the evening was a gen-
eral discussion of plans for a pro-
posed community hall and fire
house, led by Dr. Frank Schooley.
The firemen voted to purchase 25
new dress parade uniforms... which
will include bright red shirts and
caps and new badges for each mem-
ber. Harry Ohlman and Joe Mac-
Veigh were commissioned to order
the outfits, for which each member
will pay $5.
It was announced that 300 feet
of new hose have been purchased
from the Eastern Pennsylvania Sup-
ply Company, and foreign fire insur-
ance tax payments from the State
covering Lehman and Dallas town-
ships and Dallas sborough, amount-
ing to $242, were acknowledged.
Preceding the meeting a fire drill
was held at Irem Temple Country
Club with 15 members participating.
The equipment was in perfect con-
dition, and new safety helmets, tried
out for the first time at the drill,
proved to be a fine innovation.
At the next session, 'it was an-
nounced, a talk on first aid will be
given by Dr. Schooley.

STOGNER CASE COMES
UP TONIGHT AT LAKE
AFTER WEEK’S DELAY
Postponed last Friday, a
hearing on alleged violation of
fishery laws committed by Mack
A. Stogner of Berwick will be
held before Squire Ralph Davis
of Alderson tonight.
Stogner is charged with neg-
ligence in not posting running
lights on his sea-plane, which
figured last week in a fatal
speedboat accident on Harvey's
Lake. A summons for his ap-
pearance tonight was served
on his secretary at Berwick
Monday afternoon by Patrol-
man Fred Swanson of the Lake
police force.
The sea-plane, a Taylorcraft
which was nearly cut in half
by a speedboat last Tuesday
night in a collision costing the
life of Teddy Frantz, lake real
estate man, was taken away
by truck Friday.

Retires Post
Was Secretary Of
I.0.0.F. 31 Years
On the eve of his 70th birthday
anniversary and rounding out his
40th year as an Odd Fellow, James
Franklin this week announced his
retirement as secretary of Oneida
Lodge, No. 371, I. O. O. F.
A testimonial dinner will be given
the grand old man of the lodge
some time next week in Dallas, with
the 22 members of the group joining
together in paying tribute to Mr.
Franklin and the fine record of ser-
vice he attained. Dr. Robert M.
Bodycomb has been named chair-
man of the dinner, assisted by El-
wood McCarty and Elwood Ide.
In the entire history of the lodge,
which was founded here in 1864,
there have been only two secre-
taries, the late William Brickel and
Mr. Franklin, who was elected to
the position in 1910 and served con-
tinuously until this week.
Mr. Franklin, 70 years old Wed-
nesday, has been active not only in
fraternal affairs of this community
but also in its government, and is
retiring this fall from Dallas Council.
Mr. Franklin announced his in-
tention of vacating the secretary-
ship at the annual election of lodge
officers Monday evening. New offi-
cers include Elwood Ide, Noble
Grand; Nelson Shaver, Vive Grand;
Elwood McCarty, secretary, and Dr.
Bodycomb, treasurer.

The ditching and resurfacing of
Lehman avenue, an undertaking of
the NYA under supervision of bor-

American Youth Still Courageous, Says Writer
Editor The Post:
On the front page of September
12th’s Post I had the pleasure of
reading what “a college boy” thinks
of the war. I'm a college boy my-
self, so I thought it might be worth
while comparing our points of view.
The main theme put forth by my
friend of Sept. 12 is a comparison
between the college man of the
first World War and his counter-
part today. The conclusions are that
the young college man 25 years ago
had “rich, red blood,” boundless en-
thusiasm for army service, and a
rather gullible mind; while the col-
lege man today is just the opposite
—no “rich, red blood,” no enthus-
iasm for army service, no gullible
mind. At least) that’s what the col-
lege man of last Friday's Post tells
us.
Unfortunately, I disagree on all
three points. First of all regarding
the “rich, red blood.” The men of
1914-18 had plenty of courage, but
do the young men of 1941 have
less? Do the young men of the R.
A. F. look like a weak-kneed crew ?
Do the young British women seem
particularly terror-stricken? We
all know the answer to that one.
Then why presume that the Ameri-
can youth of today can’t hold their
own? Are we so blasted degener-
ate? Give us a chance, we’ll show
you,
The young man of September 12
tells us that the men of World War
days were wild about joining the
army. Let's look it over. On July
28, 1914, Britain and France went
to war with Germany. Not until
almost three years later, on April 6,
1917, did we declare war and begin
training an army. Then, after
atrocity stories from Belgium, after
the sinking of the Lusitania, after
indescribable = submarine warfare
was under way, after we had de-
clared war—then the college men
and all the other young men were
rip-roarin’ ready to fight. Look at
the situation today. The war is
barely two years old, organized Ger-
man counter-propaganda has just
recently been shut off ,indiscriminate
sub warfare has hardly begun, we
have not declared war. Yet, what
do- we find in America? We find
a peace-time conscript army, an ex-
panding navy, a growing air force,
an awakening population. A year
ago many young men weren't too
enthusiastic about leaving college,
or leaving good jobs, and going into
the army. Do you think the boys
would have been crazy about the
idea in the spring of 1915, a year
after the first war started? No one
wants to drop his salaried position,
his family life, his plans for the
future unless it seems absolutely
necessary—he must pause to think
it out. The American people have
thought this out for two years now.
They've watched Hitler hoodwink
the world long enough. They've seen
him always have the jump on every-
one else. Now the American people
are ready to beat him at his own
game. Read about the number of
enlistments. These boys aren't
waiting to be drafted. They're tak-
ing the bull by the horns.
There's still one more point to be
cleared up. It used to be said that
the men of 1914-18 were suckers
for a slogan like “Save the World
for Democracy” Don’t you believe
it! They were fighting to save our
way of life—freedom of speech,
press, religion; trial by jury, cpen
elections, and the rest. We have
that here now, and in England.
It was in France ’till France fell.
We have here, and in England, the
will to go on and try again—despite
the chaos of broken treaties, rearm-
ament, depression, and then this
Hitler. Many good men have falt-
ered. Like the isolationists they
have preferred to get away from it
all—ostrich-like, to hide their head
in the sand. This is the great pity
of the 20's and 30's in America.

cism hand in hand. The debunkers
and misbelievers—those who pooh |

that stuff is enough to make any- |
pooh when “the American way’ or
“democracy” is mentioned. These
are men with minds poisoned by
a supposed failure and impotency.
These are not the stout-hearted men
who'll fight for the right—but these
are few, thank God. . Most of us are
a rather cool-headed, clear-sighted
bunch, after all. A few banners and
speeches to urge us on will do no
harm. Heaven knows we've had
enough “tender whisperings” of ap-
peasers. Bring on the songs and
slogans. We'll cheer for the “Land
of the Free, the Home of the Brave”

war. And I'm not the only one. A
year ago I was an anti-intervention
man, my room-mate was, my best
friend was, and the two boys across
the hall were. One of us voted for
Norman Thomas because we
thought he would keep us out of
war. Two cf us were so disgusted
