Harrisburg, September 19—Once more, by twist of fate and politic-
al strategy, an old man has been placed on the spot in Pennsylvania.
Republicans and Democrats throughout the State will do well to
watch the campaign progress of one M. Harvey Taylor, a gent with
some 70-odd years under his scalp, who is seeking a return engage-
ment in the State Senate. oa)
By no mere coincidence, Brother
Taylor is also Republican State
Chairman—and thereon hangs the
tale.
Until recently his Democratic op-
ponent was William B. Freeland,
a likeable chap from the Senator's
home county of Dauphin. Taylor-
ites were fairly happy over the
prospect of opposition from Free-
land, feeling that it would not be
too intense.
But of late a horrible develop-
ment has smeared the: rainbow
colors of the good Senator's picture.
Freeland withdrew from the race
—and the Democrats substituted
none other than John E. Peters.
Now this lad Peters has dogged
and snapped at the shoes of Taylor
and his Republican machine for so
long it became old stuff. But in
last year’s election Peters managed
to raise considerable rumpus dur-
ing the Harrisburg mayoralty race]!
when said Peters almost defeated
the Taylor machine candidate, one
Claude Robbins.
Undaunted, snapping and snarl-
ing Peters opposed Taylor for the
Republican Senatorial nomination
this past April. Taylor won by so
small a margin that some of his
henchmen swore they could feel
the breath of defeat tickling the
nape of their necks.
The Taylor-Peters bout threw the
citizenry into quite a tizzy. The
good Governor, who declined to
enter other local tiff, galloped
nobly down from his perch atop
Capitol Hill to speak in behalf of
his political ally, Taylor.
Big GOP guns were hauled to the
scene. and Peters was finally bop-
ped from the field when election-
time rolled around.
But now he’s back again in a
surprise move. The Republican
lads and lassies don't like it one
whit. They know that once more
the No. 1 GOP man in the State
is on the spot and in for a tough
time.
The important part of the whole
affair is not the local contest—but
the fact:that the GOP State Chair-
man is now fighting for his political
life once more.
Should Taylor lose—which is a
possibility not discounted by any
means at this time—the loss of
face for Republicans throughout
the State would be something akin
to disaster.

ston is opening up again.

Jackson Trips
Riverside 9-2
Jackson Nine defeated Riverside
Sunday in the semi-final play-offs
by the score of 9 to 2. )
The game was attended by a
large crowd which was treated to
some fine baseball.
Featuring for Jackson was Pat
Salansky and Chet Rusiloski with
outstanding plays. Pitcher Joe
Levi pitched a good brand of ball
allowing seven hits and having ten
strikeouts. The batting stars were
Benny Rusiloski who batted in six
runs; Pat Salansky and S. Salansky
who had two and three hits re-
spectively.
Jackson will be idle this coming
Sunday due to West Nanticoke
beating Buttonwood. Winner of
these two teams will play Jack-
son for the championship.
Jackson fans have been treated
to fine basebal this summer. The
boys really deserve a great hand—
Everybody should root for the
team to bring the championship

Mrs. Mary Casterline
Leaves 78 Descendants
The funeral of Mrs. Mary M.
Casterline, 81, a resident of Noxen
for the past fifty-three years, was
held yesterday afternoon at 1:30
from the late home in the Dutch
Row at Noxen with further services
at Noxen Methodist Church at 2
in charge of Rev. David Morgan of
Courtdale-Larksville and Rev.
James Hilbert of Alderson-Noxen
Methodist Churches.
Mrs. Casterline died Monday
afternoon at 12:45 in Nesbitt Me-
morial Hospital where she had been
a patient since she suffered a heart
attack on Sunday. -For two years
prior to her death she was blind
but that handicap did not dampen
the indominable spirit that had
helped her to rear almost single-
handed a family of seven children
after the death of her husband,
Stewart Casterline Sr., on January
1, 1907.
She was a devoted mother who
met her tasks courageously, never
complaining and never believing
that others should complain.
“Where there is a will’ she would
often say “there is a way.”
She was born in Stoddardsville,
the daughter of the late Sterling
and Elizabeth Swainbank Saxe. As
a child she evidenced the qualities
of character that were to carry
her through a long life. To quote
her old teacher the late Rev, J.
A. Transeau, “Mary was my
brightest and most diligent stu-
dent.” Shortly after her marriage
she moved to Beaumont and later
to Noxen where her husband was
employed in: the early lumber in-
dustry.
She leaves to mourn her passing ]
78 descendants; three great great
grandchildren, 41 great grandchil-
dren, 28 grandchildren and the
following children: Albert, Noxen,
Mrs. Fred Smith, Kunkle; Stewart,
manager of Shavertown Builders
Supply, Shavertown; Clyde, who
lived with his mother at Noxen;
Russel of Noxen and Paul of Wilkes
Barre. Her daughter, Ella, Mrs.
John Space, preceded her in death
five years ago.
Interment was in the family plot
at Woodlawn Cemetery, Dallas.
Arrangements were by Paul Nul-
ton.

Food, which carries the heaviest

(A Department spokesman said
that greater than average seasonal
increases in meats and eggs were
mainly responsible for the rise in
food costs, and were not offset by
the decrease noted in some fruits
and vegetables.)

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have not time to stand and stare.
Ralph Rood has informed us—and he ought to know because he
was there—that the actual opening date of First National Bank was
August 27, 1906, 42 years ago.
The first depositor on that eventful day was John J, Ryman, Dallas
merchant, whose former home Back Mountain Memorial Library now
occupies.
First officers of the bank were: George R. Wright, president;
Franklin Leavenworth, cashier, and Ralph Rood, teller. Directors
were: John J. Ryman, B. W. Brickel, Henry M. Laing, P. T. Raub,
Reese D. Isaacs, George R. Wright and Franklin Leavenworth.
August 27 was also another anniversary date for Mr, Rood. Fifty-
four years ago he began his first teaching assignment at the Rock
School in Lake Township known as the Kocher Settlement. He had
at that time 26 pupils. In 1903 he came to Dallas and was principal
of the three room school for three years before resigning to become
teller at the bank. After the death of Mr. Leavenworth in 1917 he
became cashier and served in that capacity until 1924.
Mr. Rood recalls that in 1903 there was only three teachers in
the borough schools. Those beside the principal were Anna Richards
later Mrs. Albert Isaacs, and Hattie Albertson, later the wife of Rev.
David Evans.
It is pleasant to record that Fred Houghwout of Trucksville has
been appointed clerk of the local Draft Board. Fred served on Draft
Board No. 1 at Wyoming throughout World War II, and was con-
sidered by many to have one of the most efficient and best Boards
in the county. Joe MacVeigh heads the Board.
Few people appreciate the amount of time required to head a
Board and it is a tribute to Joe’s public spirit as a citizen that he
has accepted the assignment again after serving so faithfully during
the war. The number of men in any community who are willing
to accept a job that pays no salary and affords no opportunity for
political advancement is limited. Dallas is fortunate to have a citizen
like Joe McVeigh, who is known to every kid, grandmother, police-
man and pup in the community, and to our knowledge has never
been seen with a long face. Joe's cheerful “Hello” is as much a
Back Mountain institution as Chestnut Ridge and Toby's Creek.
