PAGE EIGHT THE POST, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1941 Oldest Building ‘Being Razed Gives Better View 0f ~ Toby's Creek As Sewer One of the oldest buildings on Main street gave way to progress Thursday as John Morrett and a crew of helpers began demolition of the one-story frame structure on Main street, until recently occupied by Paul Suska’s Shoe Shop. No one in Dallas was willing to hazard a guess at the age of the building. All of the old pictures of Main street show the little building with its white stoop sandwiched in among the other white business structures along the “Main Stem.” “Wash” Spencer recalled that he and his wife purchased a clock from a jeweler by the name of Williams in that building more than 52 years ago. Mr. Spencer said he paid $5— a lot of money at the time—for the clock and that just the other day he had “Bob” Roberts go over it and make a few repairs so that it is now in “dandy running order.” There were no other old timers who could remember Main street when the little white building was | not there. Though it must have! housed some thriving businesses in ! its days, and deserved some vener- ation for its age, there were few! who regretted its passing. For the past several years the building has been the subject of considerable controversy. A few years ago when John Morrett built the Richards | Store building, Borough Council re- | fused him permission to move the ‘structure to another location tem- | pararily, because it was considered a fire hazard. At that time Mr. Morrett planned to erect a new building on the lo- cation over Toby’s Creek next to the Frantz Store. When he was blocked in his attempt to move it, he let the one-story building stand. Asked yesterday, what he plan- ned to erect in that location, Mr. Morrett tartly replied that he ex- pected to tear the building down so that Borough Council and the rest of the citizens could get a good look at the filth of Toby’s Creek in the heart of the borough. Mr. Suska has moved his shoe re- | pair shop to a new location in the | basement of the Sullivan building— a better location, he says—and no- body, not even Mr. Suska, regrets the passing of the oldest business building in Dallas—not even Bor- ough Council. Blindfolded Man Tells His Location By Birds (Continued from Page 1) sige — Chestnut street, near the west end of Bound Brook, was identified from the songs of the field sparrow and towhee which inhabit dry bushes and the kingbird which lives in occasional trees. The last place visited was Middle- brook Road, a section which Stearns identified because of hearing a wood peewee, indicating large trees; a black and white warbler, which lives among shaded bushes, and an oven- bird which indicated deep woods. In all the young man identified 31 birds while blindfolded. Later af- ter the blindfold was removed he pointed out 15 others, which brought the morning’s total to 46. The birds identified were: Amer- ican crow, tufted titmouse, white- breasted nuthatch, house wren, cat- bird, robin, wood thrush, red-eyed viero, northern yellowthroat, red- winged black-bird, purple gackle, indigo bunting, swamp sparrow, belted kingfisher, crested flycatcher, phoebe, yellow-breasted chat, gold- finch, starling, English sparrow. House wren, kingbird, barn swal- low, towhee, flicker, black and white warbler, ovenbird, scarlet ta- nager, sparrow hawk, killdeer, rock dove, mourning dove, black-billed sire | drews and daughter, cuckoo, chimney swift, downy woodpecker, brown thrasher, bob-o- link, meadow lark Baltimore oriole, Cowbird, rose-breasted grosbeak and chipping sparrow.

From Pillar To Post (Continued from Page 1) shop, one that.-had been rescued in a great state of rust from some- body’s henhouse. The chopping-bowl and the double chopping-knife have staged quite a remarkable come-back., The chopping-knife comes with the gay- est of plastic handles in shades to match any kitchen color scheme. For many years my mother refused to give up her chopping-bowl, though a solicitous husband bought her the latest model of meat grind- ers at the rate of about one per year. Nothing could wean her from her chopping bowl until the occas- ion when my father offered to help her by doing a little chopping on the mince-meat. He gave a few vigorous swipes with the chopping- knife, and the mince-meat came out over the top. Being an ingenious soul, and highly efficient, he took the bowl down into his basement workroom, worked happily for half an hour, and brought it back equip- ped with a gunwhale. On a yacht the gunwhale keeps the water out, on a chopping bowl it kept the con- tents in. It certainly came up to ex- pectations. But after one astounded look at the transformation, Mamma devel- oped an inexplicable fondness for her latest meat-grinder and the chopping-bowl, complete with gun- whale, was relegated to the bot- tom shelf. In western New York State housewives use a chopping-can in- stead of a chopping-knife, Any me- dium-sized can with holes punched in the bottom to equalize the air- pressure will do for a chopping- can. With constant use, th edge de- velops a razor-like sharpness, and the body of the can provides a good grip for the hand. Does any child nowadays know where the term “Spider” as a syno- nym for “Frying-Pan” originated ? I can not imagine anything destruc- tive happening to a heavy cast-iron frying pan; but I certainly have not seen a black frying-pan with a spider on the bottom of it for years and years. Manufacturers no longer make frying-pans stamped with a spider, but there must be literally thousands of such pans in exis- tence. Anyone who owns such a pan, passed on from mother to daughter, is in luck. A new frying- pan can’t possibly compare with one that has been seasoned by gener- ations of constant use. The glass hen sitting sedately on a glass nest used to be the cover for a container of mustard. A small brown jug also held mustard. Both these articles are now antique- store items. Today's common-place necessity is tomorrow's treasured antique. Elmer D. Parrish Spent B Busy Day, Wednesday Elmer D. Parrish motored to In- diantown Gap on Wednesday. He reports it a colossal preparedness outlay well worth any one’s time to visit. Next Mr, Parrish went on to Hershey which he says is one of the finest places -he has ever seen. He was impressed with' the gigantic candy factory and the museum which is one of the best in the coun- try. Flowers and the rose garden were in full bloom. Even Florida has nothing to compare with it in his opinion. Mr. Hershey also has 50 farms, and employs more than 3,000 people, all through the efforts of one man who was determined to make the candy business pay—and did it. Mr. Parrish then went on to Harrisburg to the Sixth Annual Neppco Poultry Exhibition at the Farm Show Building—a most inter- esting sight—then he drove home arriving in Dallas at 6:45 p. m. and called it a day well spent. Poison Ivy Plant Is Hard To Kill Destruction of poison ivy plants is not a simple matter, Albert B. Mickaltis, Research Forester of the Bureau of Forests, in the Depart- ment of Forests and Water, says. The shoots of poison ivy plants arise from creeping under-ground stems which are an inch or more below the soil surface. Mickalitis said that probably the most satisfactory and effective way to destroy small clumps of these undesirable plants is to pull or grub them out. It is important to re- move the roots as completely as possible since. small pieces of the roots left in the ground are often capable of producing new shoots. When poison ivy infests abandoned farms or grass lands, plowing the soil and planting crops is advisable. Various weed Killing will usually kill all kinds of plants and should not be allowed to touch the leaves or bark of valuable trees, shrubs, herbs or grass. Salt brine prepared by adding about three pounds of common salt to a gallon of soapy water is fre- quently used. Various oils such as discarded crank case oil are effec- tive and may be thinned with kero- sene. Experiments have shown that excellent results are obtained by| j spraying with a solution of sodium chlorate. This, however, is a dan- gerous chemical and care must be exercised. Organic material such as clothing and dead vegetation be- come highly inflammable after be- ing treated with the chemical and then dried. { chemicals | (Top) Soviet leader Stalin, with snow ahead to impede the Nazi blitz On The Moscow Front members of his staff, sees troops off to the front.

F. BUDD SCHOOLEY When a representative of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in Vallonia, Illinois, read a short sermonette in the national magazine, Pathfinder, he sat down and wrote a letter to its author, Rev. Henry. Schooley of Providence, Rhode Island, a brother of Dr. F. Budd Schooley of Dallas. The Vallonia, Illinois, Schooley wanted to learn more about the doctor’s branch of the family. This week Dr. Schooley wrote him one thing. Both his father and the Val- lonia Schooley have the same first name—Orlando. Dozing Milkman Rams Light Pole Machine Wrecked; Driver Escapes Unhurt When he dozed briefly at the wheel of a Dallas Dairy milk truck, Thursday morning, about 7 o'clock, as he was driving the Harvey's Lake route, Thomas Carkhuff ram- med the machine into a light pole and upset in front of the Pinola cottage. Aside from a slight jarring and bruises, Carkuff was none the worse for the experience but the machine was badly damaged and had to be towed to Oliver's Garage for major repairs. The young driver was one of many local dairy workers who had had little sleep during the short- lived milk strike. In addition to his apprehension over the outcome of the strike he had also had to serve his stint as a picket at a number of Wyoming Valley dairies.

A central heating plant, running water, church a pleasant place in which to work. Gone are the days of carry- ing water in milk cans on lumber wagons for use in dishwashing after a church supper. Now there is no need to borrow dishes on which to serve the suppers. Mrs. Jack Roberts of Dallas re- members several occasions when in- terest waned; up again, and since Rev. Mr. Frick has been pastor things are hum- ming.” The late Mrs, Frank Wilcox of Lehman, moved to Huntsville more than 50 years ago. She often told of baptisms in the pool below the little dam. Often these were performed in mid-winter through a hole in the ice, the immersed ones being wrap- ped in blankets and taken to the nearest farm house. A number of neighbors, now residents of Hunts- ville, tell of watching the congre- gation, lanterns in hand, as they filed down to the pool for a baptism after an evening prayer meeting. The Huntsville congregation now goes to Kingston, where Rev. C. H. Frick is resident pastor of Wyom- ing Avenue Christian Church, and where there is an indoor baptismal font.
