Mintzer, who will cele- brate his 59th on Saturday, came out from behind his meat block at Titman’s market this week to tell us some things about other days that made us know our neighbor better and forget that we wanted pork chops instead of hot dogs. Mr. Mintzer was born December 5, 1883 on his father’s farm at Mt. Yeager, along the Nescopeck Creek. When he was ten years of age he walked two miles daily to the Riley school and evenings before school home work he did farm chores. When he was fifteen he left school to take a man’s size job on the farm handling all kinds of the plowing and various other farm work. About the time he was sev- enteen, his father entered the lum- ber business and young Fred, proud as a peacock behind a spanking four horse team, hauled lumber to the Upper Lehigh Mines twenty miles distant. Three years later he married Min- nie Coleman of Albert's Corners and the couple moved to Sandy Valley where Fred started to learn the butcher's trade in the Millhoffer Packing company. His first job was cleaning hog casings. He didn’t like that much, but stuck to it because he had made up his mind to become a butcher. He did his job well and it wasn’t long before he was pro- moted to the hog killing room. That was something he enjoyed. Fred recalls how the hogs were shipped in from the west in double tier cars, and unloaded into pens where they were packed in so tight that a man could walk over their backs, knock them in the head with a small hammer and cut their throats without having a pig fall over. In turn Fred worked on the hog scraping rack and at hog-shaving— the last job one of the coldest he ever had because only mountain spring water was. used. = Later he advanced to the floor where he split the dressed hogs and cut them up For a time he served a trick trim- ming sausage meat and hams and |. bacon, and packing them in barrels for pickling and curing. After the fresh hams were packed they were sent to the cooler where brine was poured on to cure them out ready for smoking. He rounded out two years of apprenticeship in the smoke house where he hung hams and bacon on trees to smoke. During those two years he worked 12 hours a day, from 6 A. M. until 6 P. M. and he received 11c an hour as top wages. Contracts Small Pox But Fred enjoyed every minute of his work because he was learning the trade he wanted to follow through life. About this time, how- ever, his apprenticeship was inter- rupted when he was stricken with smallpox. One of his neighbors who had recently returned from Phila- delphia was taken seriously ill. One of the younger doctors in the com- munity attended him and pronoun- ced the ailment as “the rash.” But the patient failed ‘to respond to treatment and old Dr. Snyder of White Haven was called in. He diagnosed the disease quickly, call- ed it “the rash” and then sent word to the packing house owner to close his plant at once because ‘‘small- pox’ had broken out in the com- munity. Mr. Kemmer complied and immediately summoned a specialist and nurses from Philadelphia to stay in the ‘community until the plague had run its course. Every- body in the community was vaccin- ated and confined at home, but nine cases developed, one of which died. It was many days before Fred came down with the disease, but the Philadelphia physician predicted the exact day and time he would be stricken. how well he felt the day before and how terrible the illness on the fol- lowing day. After he was released from the “pest house” he followed the doctor’s orders and went home to the farm for a year in order to be away from the dampness of the packing house. It was a hard year for there was always the urge to complete his apprenticeship. As soon as he was strong enough he returned. Fred was happy because he had been advanced to 13c an hour. When the packing house closed down because of economic condi- tions, Fred came to Wilkes-Barre where he worked in the Payne Packing House and then for a while as safety appliance man on the Cen- tral Railroad. But the butcher trade was in his blood and it wasn’t long until he | went to work for Charles Croll in Fred will never forget! Miss Alice C. Eipper whose engagement to Leslie H. Tinsley of 224 Poplar Street, Wilkes-Barre, was announced this week. , sprinkling lightly with salt, Freeland. There he peddled meat on the road. After supper at night Fred killed the beef for the next day’s trip and got up in the morn- ing at 2 p. m., cut the meat and loaded the wagon ready to start out again at 5 A. M. Fred worked for Mr. Croll eight years until he re- tired from the business. He worked part time for other butchers, but had just about decided to give up the trade entirely when he got a job as caretaker for the Sisters of Mercy farm in Dallas. It was while working there that he met Herman Garinger who offered him a job as clerk in his shop in Dallas. Mr. Mintzer worked with Mri Garinger until /C. A. Frantz opened his meat department in 1927. Mr. and Mrs. Mintzer are the parents of seven children, three of whom are living; Mrs. Reed Chapin, Dallas, Lemon, employed in the Hazard Rope Works, Wilkes-Barre, and Charlotte, wife of Rev. Daniel Davis, Primitive Methodist pastor in Boone, Iowa. Mr. Mintzer has been active in church work himself, and is super- intendent of the P. M. Sunday school in Dallas. He says he doesn’t mind another birthday because he is enjoying good health and is at Peace with God and that is all that any man can ask for. THRIFTY PEOPLE APPRECIATE THE POST CLASSIFIED ADS Hunters Contribute Deer Skins (Continued from Page One) cox, subsidiaries of the Keystone Tanning and Glue Company; the Mt. Jewett branches of the Curwensville Brothers Tannery; Loyal Fur Manufacturing Company, 1346 Church St., Dan- ville; or Queen Premier Fur Dress- ing and Dyeing Company, St. Jo- seph and Ann streets, Easton. Leffler said the Commission is dis- tributing thousands of posters and flyers to each hunter in the field so he will not overlook this patriotic obligation if he kills a deer. He and Howes further emphasized that all deer’ should be skinned properly and carefully, removing the head and feet and all flesh from the hide, and delivering hides as quickly as possible. The literature handed to hunters contains dia- grams showing how properly to skin the animals, and how properly to butcher them in order to waste no flesh. M. W. Whitaker, superintendent of the Noxen tannery, said that none of the hides received there will be tanned in Noxen, but that the tannery will act as a receiving station and ship the hides to a cen- tral tanning point. Hides received shipping or at Evans Drug Store will be turned | over to the nearest game protector for reshipment to the Game Com- mission. DALLAS CHURCH NOTES Dallas Methodist Church, Rev. Austin L.
