Musicale Draws
Varied Talent
St. Paul's Sponsors
Program on March 18
Some of the best musical talent
of the Back Mountain area have
been organized for the second An-
nual Musicale to be held in Kings-
ton Township High School on Fri-
day night, March 18. The general
response and the unexpected suc-
cess of last year’s musicale prompt-
ed its sponsors to make this out-
standing musical program an an-
nual event.
Organized to encourage a greater!
interest in music in the Back Moun-
tain communities, the sponsors have
been surprised at the amount of
talent available in the area, and
according to the committee some
of the best musicians and vocalists
have consented to participate in the
1949 Musicale. This outstanding
talent, which is confined to this
area, will include %esidents of Dal-
las Borough and the townships of
Kingston, Dallas, Lehman and Lake.
Selections of classical music from
modern composers as well as the
old masters will be in the program,
including selections from Chopin,
Chaminade, Mendelssohn, DeBussey,
Kreisler, and Rachmaninoff. Num-
bers on the program will include
group singing, vocal solos, piano,
cornet, clarinet, and bell lyre sel-
ections. vi
This Second Annual Musicale is
sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary
of St. Paul's Lutheran Church,
Shavertown.

THE POST, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1949
When you want constant mo-
tion, and alert ready-for-anything
companionship, just get one of my
relatives. Save for our coats, we
look like our cousins the Smooth
Terriers. We're small dogs—16 to
18 pounds—so we're popular both
here and in our old English home.
We used to “go to ground” after
foxes and other game, and we still
like to hunt. Today, though, our
most important work is keeping our
masters laughing at our antics.
By Margaret McLuckie Cottle
The fox terrier—smooth coated
and wire-haired varieties—is the
best known and most widely dis-
tributed of all purebred dogs.
Though now both the smooth
and the wire, haired are recog-
nized as one breed, they sprang
from vastly different sources, the
smooth’s principal ancestors be-
ing the old smooth coated black
and tan and the old fashioned
bull terrier, while the wire-haired
was bred from the rough coated
black and tan working terrier of
Wales, Derbyshire, and Dunham.
In the early days wires were
liberally crossed with smooths,
chiefly to give the wire the pre-
dominating white pigmentation,
cleaner cut head and the more
classical outline of the smooth, and
no extended pedigree of a wire
will be found without many smooth
ancestors. However, this practice
has been discontinued 'for many
years. Very few of the early dogs
possessed sufficient merit or ex-
hibited enough prepotency to be-
come factors of any importance in
the development of the breed they
preceded and the present day: fox
terrier—both smooth and wire—is
the product of about 75 years of
selective breeding. During this
period the ‘‘weeds” have pretty
well been removed. The good speci-
mens were closely inbred in order
to “fix” the attained improvements,
and there have been developed
such a wire range of good dogs
among both wires and smooths that
neither needs go outside of the
variety to find top quality to which
to breed.
Wire Fox Terrier
Wire breeders in the early days
were far behind smooth fanciers
in trying to breed refinement into
The Fox Terrier
We're experts at that. There are
bigger dogs—but there aren't any
better. Ask any of our folks.
They'll tell you we've got a strict
sence of property and the brains,
courage, and ability to back up our
loyalty to our loved ones.

In The Interest Of Purebred Dogs
their stock, continuing to select
their breeding specimens from those
dogs which were most qualified in
the field and around the farm, but
the delay was offset by two im-
portant genetic advantages in time
and source. The longer era of
breeding wires solely for utility
purposes served to fix the virtues
of gameness and vitality so that
little was lost in the subsequent
attention paid to refining the wire.
Also the wire breeder had the ad-
vantage of being able to stay safe-
ly within the fox terrier breed by
drawing directly on the already
comparatively set type of the
smooth for refining qualities. After
approximately 1910 it seemed need-
less to resort to further crosses
and thereafter the process was dis-
continued.
The ‘‘Standard of the Breed” is
the same for both varieties of the
breed except for coat in the wire
haired, “which must be broken.
The harder and more wiry the tex-
ture of the coat, the better. On
no account should the dog look or
feel wooly; and there should be
no silky hair about the poll or else-
where. The coat should not be
too long so as to give the dog a
shaggy appearance but should show
a marked and distinct difference
all over from the smooth species.
The dog whose picture is used
to illustrate this variety is an ex-
cellent specimen of the breed
“Champion R. B. N. of Fenbor”
bred by Mrs. HAL M. A. Tucker,
shown to his championship by Rob-
ert Neff and now owned by ArFor
Kennels of Kansas City, Mo. This
dog was the outstanding wirehair
during the 1947-1948 dog show
year and is proving himself in the
stud as he has in the show ring.
Merchants Would
At a recent meeting of Dallas
Business Association, Grace T. Cave,
Ord Trumbower and Lawrence Up-
dyke were appointed to make a
study of store hours.
During recent years the real
shopping day of the week in Dallas
has changed from Saturday to Fri-
day, although the actual day is im-
material so far as the merchants
are concerned.
The Association realizes that the
Back Mountain area is growing
and that the stores must grow too;
but this cannot be accomplished
without cooperation. In anticipation
of demand, local merchants are
stocking their stores with nationally
advertised merchandise to meet
customers’ needs.
Like To Know
Your Choice Of Store Hours
Realizing it is much more con-
venient for customers to shop with-
in walking distances of their homes
and where parking space is avail-
able if they drive, the merchants
wonder why many ride crowded
busses or seek expensive, crowded
parking lots in order to buy what
they can more conveniently get at
home. ?
Because of this the following
questionnaire has been prepared
by the Association. The merchants
hope their friends and customers
will be sufficiently interested to
answer the questions and mail the
coupon to The Dallas Post or drop
it in the boxes set up for that pur-
pose in all Dallas stores.

County Trappers
Get Good Bounties
Luzerne County residents who
trapped and hunted predators dur-
ing December received $748.00 for
their efforts from the Game Fund
according to the Divisional Head-
quarters for the nine northeastern
counties located at Forty-Fort. Two
hundred forty-eight weasels, eighty-
three gray fox, thirty-four red fox,
and eight great horned owls were
probated by the successful hunters
and trappers of the county.
This amount is part of the $33,
470 paid out to claimants for the
month of December in the entire
state. Since June 1st a total of
$81,643 has been paid out of the
Fund for claims on 6,231 weasels,
8,016 gray foxes, 9,644 red foxes,
16 goshawks and 1,175 great horned
owls. $2,178.00 of this amount has
been returned, to trappers and
hunters of Luzerne County in this
period.
Information regarding bounty
claims can be secured from any
District Game Protector, Alderman
Justice of the Peace or Magistrate.
Game Commission officials point out
that the fur crop of Pennsylvania
annually amounts to nearly two
million dollars, a highly prized nat-
ural resource.
Store Talk
Two more worthy causes are
knocking at your door, this week—
“The March of Dimes” and the
“Red Cross.” The ‘March of
Dimes” brings hope to those on
whom the door to health and hap-
piness has been closed forever.
When you open your door, re-
member that the Red Cross takes
care of many who don’t even have
a door left. Surely you'll want
to aid both these worthy causes.
Do It Yourself has become a popu-
lar saying during these times of
rising prices. “Congowall”, the
miracle linoleum wall covering is
applied just that way. There are
13 colors of it in block design. Just
the thing for your kitchen or bath
rooms. 13c for square foot is
what it costs to make your home a
palace beautiful.
Prices? With all the present day
predictions, no one knows just
what will happen in 1949—except
that there will be a little change
in steel goods and machinery. We
offer you better prices from the
advantage of quantity buying in
many cases, but in general we'll
have to grin and bear it while labor
rules the roost.
Frigidaire Ranges for 1949 have the !
zippy look you want plus all the | ;

tures possible to incorporate. Frig-
idaire quality hasn't changed. See y

Utilities Safe
Stocks to Hold
New York City, Jan. 6—During
the past few days I asked
many investment bankers: “In
view of the business and mar-
ket uncertainties, what are the saf-
est stocks to hold?” The general
answer was that the stocks of the
operating utility companies offer
the best combination of safety and
income.
OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS
Total kilowatt hour output of the
utilities will decline . with general
business, but this decline will be
from industrial customers. As many
electric companies are now short
of generating capacity, and cannot
take on many new residential cus-
tomers, this could be a blessing
in disguise. Residential customers
are much more profitable than
large industrial customers. There-
fore, by. switching customers, the
total output could decline without
a decline in profits.
Electric companies have very few
labor troubles. In the case of water
power companies, the labor ex-
pense is only 20% compared with
80% in the printing industry. The |
labor expense for the entire elec-
trical industry is low, equalled only
by the chemical industry. There-
fore, it has little to fear from the
much-talked-of “fourth round” of
wage increases.
OPERATING EXPENSES
The electrical industry is a large
purchaser of supplies including mil-
lions of miles of copper wire, mil-
lions of poles, arms, and insulators,
thousands of trucks, as well as
great quantities of coal, oil and
natural gas. Although there may be
some further price increases on
some of these products, yet the cor-
ner has turned downward on the
average This should benefit the
utilities so long as we avoid war
with Russia or the Chinese Com-
munists.
The only ‘nigger in the wood-
pile” is the attitude of utility com-
missions regarding rates. Many util-
ity companies are in need of high-
er rates, especially street railway
and bus companies which have
large labor expense. As, however,
these rate-making bodies clearly
understand that to take care of
their customers the utilities must
have more capital, and in order to
raise more capital must give in-
vestors a reasonable dividend, they
should gladly grant these needed
rate increases.
INFLATION HEDGES
Utilities of operating companies
can be recommended for safety
and for income, but they should
not be selected as hedges against
inflation. If considering only the
cost of replacement, stocks of util-
ity operating companies should be
worth double what they were ten
years ago provided they cannot be
caught by the “Depreciation Form-
ula”. The fact, however, that util-
ities are not free to raise their
rates without special permission,
is a distinct handicap. Hence, for
inflation hedges it is better to buy
steel or merchandising stocks. A
live merchant can always keep one
jump ahead of inflation.
It is wise to confine one’s pur-
chase of electric company stocks
to the territory in which you live.
You, yourself, should know the
attitude of your local authorities
on this rate-making problem; it is
reflected by your local newspapers.
If you believe that your public ser-
vice commission is fair, then buy
the stock of the company supplying
your home with electricity; but not
otherwise.
IMPORTANCE OF
DIVERSIFICATION
Of course, you should not put
all of your eggs in any one basket,
however good that basket may be.
This means that one should not
have more than 20% of his funds
in public utilities, and not more
investor should have his funds
divided amongst different indus-
tries, different companies and diff-
erent sections. As a final thought,
I urge you to avoid utilities in big
cities that might be bombed in
case of World War IIL
