Native Laces & Textiles
Advertises Nationally
The Post this week received an
attractive reprint of a full-page
advertisement run in the Daily
News Record, a textile publication,
by Native Laces & Textiles Inc.
the firm which has been considering
a location in Dallas Township.
The advertisement states that “in
the past few years Native Laces
and Textiles absorbed enough raw
materials to supply the lace re-
quirements of 11,000,000 women. A
great percentage of this yarn was
converted to war use—but it was
this very war emergency that in-
creased the efficiency of Native
Lace in mass production and ad-
vanced its knowledge of distribution
methods. Right now the firm is
extending its output more than
ever—bringing its war experience
into full peacetime play.”
Native Lace manufactures laces,
rayons, cottons, spun elastics, and
hosiery mesh. Two of its leading
trademarked products are Lady
Louise Fabrics and Native Laces.

Jackson Couple
Perish As Home
Lack
Hampers Fire Fighters
A Jackson Township couple
perished in a raging fire that com-
pletely destroyed their home Fri-
day night while Dr. Henry M. Laing
Volunteer Fire Company and Lake
Silkworth Fire Company were help-
less to check the flames with an
inadequate water supply.
The victims were Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Perkins, Schooley Hill. The
body of Mr. Perkins, 54, was found
near the doorway on the ground
floor where he died in an attempt
to escape. His wife, Elizabeth, 52,
suffering from injuries in a leap
from a high porch, as well as from
severe burns, died five minutes
after admittance to Nanticoke State
Hospital.
The fire was discovered at 10:30
by a neighbor, J. 'W. Vakes, when
he was awakened by a dog’s bark-
ing. A son of the couple, Thomas,
who lives nearby, was summoned,
and the two attempted to enter
the house but were driven back
by the fire.
Mrs. Perkins, a cripple for several
years, was discovered on a high
porch roof, about thirty feet from
the ground, and after rescue by
ladder proved futile, she leaped,
hoping her fall would be broken
by neighbors who stood below.
The house, built in 1928, was
owned by the Perkins family, and
State Fire Inspector Al Wilson es-
timated the loss at $4,000.
The family lived in Nanticoke
before moving to Jackson Town-
ship. Mr. Perkins was employed
by the Scranton-Spring Brook
Water Company.
Surviving are four children:
Franklin and Mrs. Stella Evarts,
Hunlock (Creek; James, at home;
and Thomas; several grandchildren
and Mr, Perkin’s mother, Mrs.
Thomas Perkins, Buffalo, N.Y.
Several brothers and sisters of both
Mr. and Mrs. Perkins also survive.
Two sons, Thomas and James
were discharged recently after long
military service.
Services were held Tuesday after-
noon from a funeral home in Nan-
ticoke. Rev. Frank K. Abbott,
Jackson Township Methodist
Church, officiated. Casket bearers
for Mrs. Perkins were William Pal-
mer, Henry Millner, George Croom,
Stanley Cholewa and John Bowers.
Casket bearers for Mr. [Perkins
were Vernon Cease, Dennis Bon-
ning, Albert Splitt, Joseph Zbick,
Frank Stolarick and Luther Cease.
Interment was in Evarts Ceme-
tery, Hunlocks Creek.
Durbin Sunday School
Class To Hold Social
The first project of Durbin Sun-
day School Class to make money

will pack lunches to be sold at
auction by Mrs. R. M. Bodycomb
assisted by Mrs. Arthur Culver.
The program for the evening will
be very informal: Some Dallas girls
will tell “Why they never got mar-
ried.” Wouldn't you like to hear
about some Dallas courtships ? Mrs.
Harold Payne will - sing several
solos. Then too, one of Dallas’
outstanding tenors will sing a love
song to one of Dallas’ most beau-
tiful Sweethearts. Mrs. Robert Van
Horn will be the ‘Post Lady’ and
will - deliver mail. There will be
games, and an entertainer will be
on hand with his best jokes. Mrs.
Harry Snyder and Mrs. Thomas
Cease will receive the guests. Mrs.
Raymond Kuhnert is Chairman,
assisted by Mrs. Robert Van Horn
and Mrs. Niles M. White.
I asked him if he were married
and he said it was a military se-

latest story I heard about why the
war was almost over. Somebody
asked why and they said they were
already disarming the WAC's—
shortening their finger nails.
