    Editorially Speaking:
Get Ready
For Winter
Summer and early fall are the times for preparing homes for
winter—with especial attention paid to the elimination of fire
hazards.
TEE
One of the major causes of home fires is defective heating units,
ranging all the way from oil stoves to central heating systems.
Even the best of appliances become worn.
Flues and chimneys
become filled with soot. During the war, it was often impossible
to adequately maintain heating
and labor.
plants due to shortages of parts
There are still shortages, but not as severe as in the
immediate past. The money spent will pay tremendous dividends
in safety and security.
Faulty electric wiring is still a major destroyer of homes. Im-
portant repairs should be made by a qualified electrician. Frayed
cords should be replaced.
Then, when your electrical equip-
ment is subjected to the heaviest use, it will safely carry the load.
Lastly, during the pleasant weather, homeowners should carry
on a rigorous campaign to rid their property of junk. Thousands
of fires have originated in attics and cellars and closets filled with
old clothes, furniture, magazines, etc.
Many fires have resulted
from improper storage of paint, gasoline and other inflammables.
A clean and orderly house offers fire few opportunities.

FROM
PILLAR TO POST
By Mgs. T. M. B. Hicks, Jr.
The way to go about a lengthy and somewhat monotonous job is to broad-
cast your intentions, enlarging upon them with fanfare of trumpets, send out
an S. O. S. for donations of materials,
and let nature take its course. People
, begin to inquire brightly how the braided rug is progressing, and they ask to
have a look. Sheer shame keeps you
enthusiasm has faded, to be replaced ®
by a dogged determination to keep
going if it takes a leg. As a braided
rug grows in diameter, it also grows
appallingly in circumference. A cir
cuit that was easily polished off in half
an hour near the center can now be
measured in terms of a career.
1 could have been saved all this
effort if somebody with a grain of
ptiy had contributed a braided oval
rug to the Library Auction Sale.
There were a couple of oval rugs, but
they were crocheted instead of braid-
ed, and I was holding out for a braid-
ed rug if I had to braid it myself.
Which I am now doing.
Materials have been coming in from
all directions. The roster reads some-
thing like this:
One rose-beige blanket, tattered and
torn. :
One pair of pants, oxford gray.
Three pairs of navy blue socks,
darned.
Two pairs of black wool socks,
ditto.
Three indisti
et. §
The te;
which staged i :
some twenty-eight years ago.
One pair of pale blue pajamas,
shrunken.
And the gem of the collection, eight
Turkey-red wool bandages intended
for the comfort of the rheumatic, but
gathering moss in the cedar chest for
the past thirty years. #
These contributions, together with
wool ‘scraps rounded up from the per-
sonal wardrobe, should make a large
oval rug unless the large oval rug
becomes discouraged and sinks to the
bottom of the bureau drawer along
with the pieced quilt. That pieced
quilt started off with a flourish, but
it never got to first base. - Probably
a feathered star pattern was a little
complicated for an amateur. Twelve
blocks somehow got themselves sewed
together, but they are still waiting to
be assembled and quilted.
That pieced quilt reminds me of
the little bush in “A Sense of Hu-
mus.”
“What is the matter
little bush you planted?” %
“It needs to have you carry a bucket
of water to it every night and work
the earth around it.”
“Goodbye, little bush.”
+ When and if the braided rug is
ever finished, there will be a large
Detour sign posted conspicuously
nearby, and in rainy weather callers
will be met at the door with a pair
of felt bedroom slippers and a firm
request to remove their shoes upon
entering. Walk on anything as prec-
ious as that rug? Never. That rug
is designed to delight the eye, not to
comfort the feet.

the volume of literature that is being
mailed to voters by State organiza-
tions opposed to prohibition. These
groups are taking. an active and ag-
gressive interest in the outcome. Other
powerful interests are also supporting
the wets.
But the dry leaders in the town-
ship say that they are confident of
| victory on Tuesday if parents and
church people will get out and vote.
They refute the argument that all
veterans are in favor of liquor by
saying that such sentiment depends
largely on whether the veteran has a
family or is single.
On Wednesday night leaders of the
dry movement representing Trucks-
ville, Carverton and Shavertown met
at Trucksville Methodist Church and
laid plans for a mass meeting to be
held Sunday night at 8 at Trucks
ville Fire Hall. Rev. Samuel Truscott,
pastor of Dorranceton Methodist
Church will be the speaker. Rev.
Truscott will discuss the problem the
Dorranceton congregation faced when
Luzerne County Court ruled that a
liquor establishment could remain in

New Mine Law
Now In Effect
Coal Strippers Must
Resurface Operations
By Pennsylvania News Service
Harrisburg, September 4—With
soft coal strip-mine operators already
required to re-face ravaged areas re-
sulting from their operations, strip-
mine operators in the anthracite re-
gion have now fallen under the thumb
of State regulations in this respect as
a result of a new State law which went
into effect September 1.
The new hard coal strip mining law
requires operators to re-fill the gaping
holes left in the earth by their surface-
gouging operations, and to level off
these areas which are then to be plant-
ed with trees and shrubs. Operators
not desiring to follow-up this work
themselves have the option of paying
the Commonwealth $60 per acre to
do the job.
The law also requires hard coal
operators currently engaged in strip-
| ping operators to pay an annual license
fee of $25 and the posting of a bond
oh $200 per acre to insure compliance
with the new regulations. 3
The regulation requiring soft coal
operators to replace scourged areas
has been in effect for several years, al-
though the constitutionality of the act
has been hotly contested and batted
back and forth ia the courts.
Only recently the Dauphin County
Court here ruled that the law was
constitutional, but an appeal to the
court ruling has been prepared by rep-
resentatives of the operators, who
contend, among other things, that it
is impractical to reforest such areas
as required by law.
Mine operators employing as low
as from two to five persons are now
required to abide by the safety regu-
lations of the Commonwealth as set
up by the State Department of Mines,
which requires inspections every six
months and gives the State’ the right
to close mines classified as unsafe.
The measure was strongly opposed by
independent mine operators.

n of the State De-
ublic Instruction out-
lined thrée general trends that are ef-
fecting school districts under. Legis
lative Acts 403 and 417.
First, small schools of less than 100
pupils are closing up. Attendance
areas are thus being enlarged. Second,
there is a rapid reorganization from
8-4 to the 6-6 plan of school organ-
ization. Third, is the creation of larger
units of school administraton. This
is being accomplished by the union
of districts or by the formation of
joint districts. In the former case
each district loses it identity. In the
latter case each of the boards maintains
s identity.
ickson Township: with an enroll
ment of about 190 ‘pupils in the
ower grades housed in four small one-
room buildings must either build one
modern building or send its elementary
pupils to other districts. At present
100 of its’ upper grade students are
tuition students at Lehman.
The directors discussed the possi
bilities of forming either a joins board
or consolidation; but no action will
be taken until study can be made of
the many factors which will effect
either move.
Lake Students Open Drive
Miss Shirley Boston has been elected
student manager of the second annual
Lake Township High School magazine
drive which began Wednesday morn-
ing. Miss Boston will be assisted by
the following home room captains:
Gladys Burkhardt, Albert Rebbennack,
Audrey Harris, Richard Cornell, Alice
Eply and Frances Stepanovitch.
A goal of $900, which is $100 more
than collected last year, has been es
tablished. The profits, which last
term amounted to $240, will be used
to finance the general activity fund,
purchase visual aids and aid in financ-
ing the school yearbook.
Lake students attained an average
of $5 per pupil during the initial
drive in 1946, setting the pace for
Back Mountain schools.

Local Veterans
Rush To Cash
In Their Bonds
First Day's Total
Exceeds $16,700 At
First National Bank
Back Mountain veterans seem to be
following the general country-wide
trend toward cashing Terminal Leave
Bonds as soon as possible and the
First National Ba has been doing
a booming busigess this weeks A
total of seventy-seven vetepafis cashed
bonds $16,70040n Tuesday,
action was legal.
cashed Tuesday at
was for $626 and the
smallest was worth $51. The average
bond was worth $220. Only four of
the bonds cashed were for less than
$100.
Frederick Eck, that
two or three of the 77 veterans were
waiting for the bank to open. The
remainder poured through the doors
in a steady stream throughout the
day. Use to which the, funds were
to be put varies, said Mr. Eck, with
some vets using the money to be
married and many going out to-buy
“jaloppies, and I do mean jaloppies.”
One man announced his cash would
be used to get his wife and new-born
baby out of the hospital.
Although many vets are using their
cashier, said
cash to pay ridiculous prices for used
cars there is no evidence of grafters
in town.
Percentage of veterans cashing their
bonds is high, according to Mr. Eck
but he does not believe that they re-
present a majority. The, tendency is
to’ cash the bonds and it is expected
that many veterans will do so within
the next few months.
Veterans who do not immediately
need the money are advised to let
the bonds accumulate interest. Term-
inal leave bonds accrue 2 1-2% ‘per
annum. Interest to date is paid when-
ever the bonds are cashed.

Names Of Seven Citizens Suggested To Council
To Serve On New Five-Man Planning Commission
BABSON MAKES GOOD
ON 34 FORECASTS IN
LESS THAN 9 MONTHS
In its first issue in January,
The Dallas Post published Roger
W. Babson’s Fifty Forecasts for
1947. Of these, thirty had come
to pass in the first seven months
of 1947, while during August,
he has made good on four more
relating to suburban real estate;
city real estate; small farms and
rents.
In substance, here is what he
said. “Suburban real estate will
continue in greater demand with
still higher prices while city real
estate may hold its own due to
less available space caused by
pulling down structures to save
taxes and provide parking spaces.
There will be a disinclination to
build due to high costs. Small
subsistence farms will continue
to. increase in peice, but large
commercial farms will sell for less
than in 1946. Ofhce and resi-
dential rents during 1947 will
continue to increase.”
Milk Prices
Go Up A Cent
Pennsylvania Ranks
Fifth In Milk Value
By Pennsylvania News Service
Harrisburg, Sept. 4
problem at hand. Na”
Following a one cent increase in the
Wilkes-Barre and Harrisburg areas a
State-wide increase is expected to fol
low, boosting the price of milk from
19 to 20 cents a quart.
The local boost was based on testi
mony, prevalent throughout the State,
that milk producers and dealers could
no longer absorb increased labor,
equipment, feed, processing and dis
tribution costs.
Pennsylvania's milk picture has been
the cynosure of all eyes according to
Secretary of Agriculture Miles Horst
who said recently the quality of pro-
( duct, skill of dairy farmers and near-
ness to the largest markets in the
world combine to make Pennsylvania
one of the most important dairy areas
in the United States.
Considered to be one of the great-
est dairy States, Pennsylvania ranks
eighth in volume - fifth in value of
milk produced and fifth in value of
the dairy cows. The State’s dairy
industry accounts for more than one-
third of Pennsylvania farm cash in-
come from all sources.
As of January 1 of this year, the
Commonwealth's dairy cows had’ a
value of $196,000,000.. Milk produc-
tion last year was within less than one
million pounds of the all-time record
of 5,404,000,000 attained in 1945.
With July of 1947 setting an all-
time high record and an equally high
production anticipated for August, it
is expected by Agriculture officials that
farmers will be doing their best to
keep up production during the coming
Fall months.
Secretary Horst pointed out that
prices. would be higher than tBey are
now if it were not that the State's
dairy farmers are doing their utmost
to maintain and advance production.

A committee composed of William
Vivian and Steve Morotchik requested
Council to take over Lincoln street.
which runs off of Orchard street in
the Fernbrook section. Council sug-
gested that these property owners se-
cure releases from Harry Goringer and
present them to Council so that
definite action may be taken at a
later date. Mr. ‘Goeringer originally
owned the, land where the projected
street is to be built.
Fines amounting to $25 were turned
in for traffic light violations.
Secretary James Besecker advised
Council that the present tax duplicate
may produce an income of $15,447.86
for Borough purposes. With other in-
come received from the State Highway
Department and from the#State liquor
Control Board the Borough will have
about $20,000 for operating purposes.
The treasurer reported, that the present
balance is $1,019.95.
There was considerable discussion of
the appointment of a five-man plan-
ning commission under the new zon-
ing ordinance and the names of seven
persons were suggested for member-
ship on that body. Appointments
will not be made until all have been
contacted and asked if they will be
willing to serve if appointed. Ap-
pointments will be for one, two, three,
four and five years. :
A request was received for the in-
stallation of two new fire hydrants.
in the Center Hill area.” In keeping
with its policy of approving installa
tions of hydrants for fire protection
just as rapidly as adequate water
mains are available, Council approved
the installation with the provision
that they be installed just as soon as
Dallas Water Company lays. a four-
inch feeder line connecting the present
four-inch main in that area. At
present the company has a four-ihch
main in that area but the feeder line
is only three inches.
It was brought out that a similar
condition exists on Parrish Heights
where Council is eager to provide fire
protection and will install hydrants
just as soon as Dallas Water Company
provides adequate mains and adequate
supply of water. Parrish Heights is
now the only unprotected area in the
Borough. While there are likewise no
hydrants in the Fernbrook area, Dr. ~
Henry M. Laing Fire Company has
said that there a creek provides an
amply supply of water for fire pro-
tection.
All Councilmen were present with
the exception of Clyde Veitch who
