PAGE EIGHT From Pillar To Post (Continued from Page 1.) Came another high-tide, a tide of | enough volume to conceal the sand- | bars, but not enough to float a boat. This was more like it. The sandbars were gone. Out of sight, out of mind. The Old Gent drew a breath of relief and started for town in a straight line, taking long sweeping strokes with the oars. His back bent and straightened rhythmically, his long gray beard moved majestically in the soft breeze, his clerical broad- cloth lay folded neatly on the back seat—or should I refer to it more nautically as the aft thwart? When the Old Gent hit the sand- bar, he turned a complete back- somersault, and two little waves rose on either side of the aft thwart with its ministerial cargo. Nothing daunted, he set forth again the next Sunday, this time in the launch. Advancing the spark and spinning the fly-wheel, he warped away from the pier in good shape. Then he settled down in the = TYKE, FAITHFUL SHEPHERD DOG AND FRIEND OF MANY LEAVES THE VILLAGE SCENE Old timers and youngsters of Dallas were saddened this week by the unexpected death of’ Tyke—familiar = shepherd dog around town and faithful friend of all who paused long enough during the busy day for a gen- ial, “hello, fellow.” Though he had reached the venerable age of twelve and had grown cau- tious about riding on strangers’ running boards, Tyke was ap- parently in good health except for summer eczema which had plagued him since puppyhood. Two weeks ago he made his daily trip to The Post, whined disconsolately and stuck a warm nose on his master’s knee. Close examination revealed an infected ear which home reme- dies failed to correct. He died Monday morning at the veterin- arian’s where he had been for two weeks — probably more from homesickness than from old age or disease. He had never known restriction of his THE POS N T, FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1942 Hospital For Ships With shipments vastly curtailed because of National Defense needs, dealers in farm machinery through- out the Back Mountain region are finding it difficult to fill orders for tractors, plows and other equip- ment placed as éarly as last fall, and they see no likelihood of the condition being improved during the coming year. One dealer who had 46 tractors ordered was informed this week by his company that his allotment for the year would be fifteen, with sim- ilar reductions in all orders for oth- er types of machinery. This curtailment follows one of the best years in the sale of farm machines in the history of Luzerne County. Sales of motorized farm equipment began to show marked increase during 1940. But contracts (time payments) filed with the Pro- thonotary’s office at Luzerne County Court House seldom ran above $750 to $1,500 a month. Then in 1941, as labor shortage began to show, there Farm Machinery Sales Broke All County Records In 1941 was a decided increase in motorized farm equipment sales, In one month sales recorded with the Prothono- tary went up to almost $30,000. In two other months sales were around $16,000. For all of 1941, the largest figure ever reached, $225,000 in sales were recorded, This was a gain of al- most one-fifth of a million dollars over the years prior to 1940. In one day in December sales recorded amounted to the tremendous record of $135,000. This covered tractors, power harrows, power plows, power spreaders, and many other items that enter the program substituting gasoline-powered devices for man- power. Last year’s sales not only show the trend in Luzerne County to do away with the horse and mule, but they also show that the farmers generally were getting ready to ov- ercome just such a shortage of farm machinery and labor as now faces them, stern, tiller in hand, drew a bead on the distant church spire, and re- tired into the inner sanctum of his mind. The sandbar was lying in wait at approximately the same spot as be- fore, but there was enough momen- tum to the heavier boat so that it rode completely up on top of the bar before ceasing its forward mo- tion, The Old Gent emerged suddenly from a brown study to find himself firmly aground, with the propellor kicking up shoals of sand and dig- ging itself even more deeply into the bar. My father took the rowboat and panted to the rescue, shouting futile directions relative to throwing the liberty before. He was a free spirit and a loyal one, and his death leaves a good many youngsters and not a few olds- ters feeling a little lonely.

Without them, American and Allied vessels damaged by Japane Se action in the vicinity of the embattled East Indies would have to go all the way to Malaya, Australia, the Philippines or Hawaii to be repaired. The East Indies docks—many of which have been built in the last two y ears—make it possible for all injured ships except bat- tle-wagons to be repaired on the spot.
