Limited exclusively to talent from this area this year’s program will provide an evening of excellent en- tertainment by some of the best talent available, William Burnaford This year’s program will provide a festival of varied music, including compositions from old and modern masters. Included in the program are selections from Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Ts- chaikovsky, Brahms, Friml, Kries- ler, and Chopin. Those arranging the program have been astounded at the great amount of musical talent available in this suburban area. Participants in this outstanding musical program include: selections by the Kingston Township Band, Prof. Verus M. Weaver, director; chorus numbers, Dallas Women’s Club ' Chorale, Mrs. Norman Pat- ton, directoress; piano solos, Harry Trebilcox, second; vocal solos, Sarah M. Sanford; clarinet solos, W.

William A. Valentine. Music lovers will be given an opportunity to hear some of the best talent of the area and at the same time assist in creating a greater interest in music. Interest in this event has been increasing since its initial presentation in 1948, and it has done much toward bring- ing forward the latent talent, so prevalent in the Back Mountain communities; all of which are rep- resented. Many people have shown their interest by volunteering to become patrons to assist in meeting the expenses of an affair of this nature. There is also an unusual demand for tickets and it is expected that all reservations will be sold by the night of the Musicale. This year’s Musicale is again sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Shavertown, who are putting forth every effort to make the program and outstanding annual event.

Dallas — PHONE 317-R-8 THE POST, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Must File To : Get Benefits Boland Comments On Old Age Insurance Many retired mine workers are calling at the Wilkes-Barre field office of the Social Security Ad- ministration to file applications for old - age and. survivors benefits. They have found that their eligi- bility for benefits under the An- thracite health and Welfare Fund has no effect whatsoever upon their eligibility for retirement benefits under the Old Age and Survivors Insurance provisions of the Social Security Act, Christopher Boland, Manager, has announced. Mr. Boland pointed out that if a worker has reached age 65 and has worked in employment under the Social Security Act approx- imately half the time from 1937 to his reaching age 65, he can qualify for monthly benefits for any month in. which he does not earn over $14.99 in employment under the Social Security Act. However, he ‘stressed, old age and survivors in- surance payments are not auto- matic. An application must be filed before any benefits are possible, The fact that a worker may have property, a bank account, or may i be receiving a pension from one source or another will not affect his eligibility for retirement payments. If a worker who qualifies for a monthly benefit has a wife age 65 or a child under 18, each may qual- ify for a benefit equal to one-half of the retired worker's. Mr. Boland stressed that benefits are not automatic and that an application must be filed, When a worker reaches age 65, or when a worker dies, the nearest Social Security field office should be con- tacted either in person or by mail, by the worker or his survivors. De- lay in ‘contacting the field office may result in loss of benefits at a time when most needed. The Wilkes-Barre field office, at 67 Public Square, serves Bradford, Columbia, Sullivan, Wyoming and most of Luzerne County. Dallas Borough PTA County Superintendent Teeter was guest speaker at the meeting of Dallas Parent Teacher Associa- tion Monday evening.

Shavertown Lutheran and Dallas Methodist ‘A’ tied for first place as the Church League finished its third season Monday night . . . . St. Therese’s holds down the runner up position while East Dallas and Huntsville Christian are tied for fourth place. The Shavertown and Dallas teams will engage in a play-off Saturday night at Dallas Township gymna- sium to determine who'll win the pennant, also to decide the team each will draw in the play-offs . . . The winner will meet St. Therese’s and the loser will face either East Dallas or Huntsville Christian . . . The Kunkle Methodist-Dallas ‘B’ tie for sixth place will be played off in the second game Saturday night . . The loser of this game will be elim- inated from the play-offs while the winner will play the fourth place squad. The tie between East Dallas and Huntsville Christian will be decided by a flip of a coin, as was pre- viously agreed upon, as the relative positions of either team means nothing except to determine which team each will face in the play-offs. The regular season ended Mon- day with a distinct upset as ninth place Trucksville Methodist, paced by Naylor with 16 points, defeated East Dallas 37-28. . . . The loss kept , East Dallas from entering into a second place tie with St. Therese’s. In the other two games played Mon- day, Huntsville Christian took Car- verton and Dallas ‘B’ beat Lehman Inter-Church . . . . Saturday night's games saw Shavertown Lutheran beat Trucksville Methodist 58-33 with Art Kitchen leading the way with 26 points. . . . In the first game Dallas ‘A’ won by a close low scoring contest from St. Ther- ese’s 29-39, . . . Chas. Brobst’s bas- ket in the final minute sewed up the game for Dallas. .- Clint Brobst, Dallas ‘A’ and Sedlar, St. Therese’s were high with 9 points apiece. Fairview, with its defeat of Lake- ton Monday, 61-35, became the Back Mountain League champions for the second consecutive year... The Mountain Toppers, District Two, Class C champions last year, will be out to defend their title against such teams as Pringle, to play H. Ide tapped in a missed North League, and Jenkins Town- ship, East Anthracite League lead- ers. . . Gene Strauss, mainstay of the Fairview squad, finished the season with a total of 215 points in twelve games. . . That's a torrid average of 18 points a game. . , .The Fairview team has a record of 19 wins and 6 losses so far this season—only one loss in league competition. Tonight's action will probably see a shuffle in the middle section of the standings... Kingston Town- ship is favored over Lehman, Har- ter over Laketon, and Dallas Bor- ough over Dallas Township . . . . If these predictions follow through then league standings will remain static, but an upset by any of the underdogs will cause a shift of the three teams battling for the third place position. The girl’s teams, however, are in a roaring race for the title with a great possibility of a play-off game in the offing. . . . The only way a playoff can be eliminated will be for Lehman to upset Kings- ton Township. . . . The game to watch, of course, is the Dallas Borough-Dallas Township clash, . . The loser of this fray will auto- matically be out of the running, while the winner is assured of either a tie for the top spot or an unchallenged first place depending on the Kingston Township-Lehman result. Fairview, with four men, Strauss, Dickenson, Malone and Frenken- field, hitting for double figures, swamped Dallas Township 56-30. The Redskins scoring “was evenly divided with Brace, and Mattie, high with 7 points apiece... After a very close game, the score was 17-17 at the half, Kingston Town- ship ‘pulled away from Dallas Boro with a spurt in the final period to win, 35-30. . Hons, KT, and Monka, Dallas Boro, were high for their teams as each hit for 12 points, : ! With Jones showing the way with 26 points, Harter easily eased by Lehman with a slim. four point margin, 53-49. . . .McKeown and Crawford, with 22 points between them, assisted Jones as Harter made up for the previous 38-37 defeat handed them by the Scotties . . Nuss and Mont, fifteen points each, kept Lehman in the running the entire game. Due to holidays for both schools, Laketon and Fairview met on Mon- day night with the result an ex- pected 61-35 rout in favor of Fair- view, . . . Strauss ended the sea- son in a blaze of glory as he count- ered 26 points to head Fairview’s offense . . . Dempkosky added 14 more for the Mountain Top crew. Gulitus hit for 12 points to hold a slim lead over the three chal- lengers for second place in the high score race. . . . Zosh had 11 to stay in the top ten scorers, Harter boosted a slim three point 27-24 halftime lead to a fifteen point margin of victory as they defeated Dallas Township 64-49 Tuesday. . . . McKeown was the big gun as he netted 24 points to lead the Plymouth Township squad. Jones had 13 and Crawford 12 to help the Harter cause . . . . Bellas sank six field goals and three fouls to lead Dalles Township as Mattie, lanky Redskin center, contributed 10 points. In the other Tuesday game, Dal- las Borough, led by Arnold Price with 15 points, took a thriller from Lehman 42-37 . . . . The result this time was opposite from Friday's loss to Kingston Township, when they found themselves on the short end of a 35-30 count after an ex- citing struggle. . . . The see-saw battle—Dallas led 21-18 at the half, Lehman 32-27 at the end of the third quarter—came to a climax in the last quarter as Dallas put on a spurt, outscoring Lehman fif- teen to five, to win the game. As the quarter opened with Leh-: man leading 32-27, Dallas started out to reduce the lead . . .Harris, Dallas forward, sank a one-hander from the foul line, but Hutchinson, Lehman retaliated with a pivot shot for two to make the score 34-29 in favor of Lehman. Dallas came back in a rush as they scored six fast points on Prices’ two lay- ups and Hazletine’s two-hand set shot to tie it at 35 all, with four miutes to go. . . Ned McGarry, sub- stitute guard, swished one through from mid-court to again put Dallas in the lead 37-35 . . . . Price sank a pivot shot from the corner and Piznar, substitute center, a hook shot from the foul line to push Dallas into a 41-35 lead. . . Lehman fought back as with two minutes 25, 1949 L. L. Richardson Shows New Cars New Dodge Roomier, Lower and Shorter The new 1949 Dodge, described as a ‘daring new venture into automotive design”, will go on dis- play today from 9 AM to 10 P.M. at L. L. Richardson's Dodge-Ply- mouth show room on Lake Street. In making the announcement Mr. Richardson said, Chrysler designed the new Dodge for the modern generation, which the Army’s strict measuring tape discovered to be taller, heavier and more active than their parents.” “The new Dodge features wide seats for the comfortable seating of three persons; ample legroom and plenty of headroom; and a smooth ride, cradled between axles and softened by super - cushion tires.” “The wheelbase of the new cars has been increased four inches, yet the car overall is shorter, not so wide, and lower in height, making it easy to park and maneuver and presenting no problem to owners whose garages were designed for the automobile of a decade ago. “It is our boast that the new Dodge is longer on the inside, short- er on the outside; wider on the in- side, narrower on the outside; high- er on the inside, lower on the out- side.” The power plant under the hood features among other improvements wide-gap high resistance spark plugs, speed proofed cylinders per- mitting quicker pick-up, and a new combustion chamber resulting in higher compression. Gyro-matic transmission, eliminating all shift- ing, is optional equipment. There are ten beautiful body styles, including the Coronet in 6-passenger club coupe, 4-door sed- an, town sedan, convertible coupe, 8-passenger sedan ,and steel-topped station wagon; the Meadowbrook, is a 4-door sedan identical with the Coronet sedan but with certain details of trim omitted; and the Wayfarer, a 115 inch wheelbase line, offers a 2-door sedan, 3-pas- senger or business coupe, and an in- novation in the 3-passenger road- ster, with soft convertible top and plastic side windows. “There are too many changes to be detailed,” according to Mr. Richardson, “and we invite every- one interested in beautiful automo- biles to come to our showroom to- night to see them, foul shot to make it 41-37. Play ‘| became fast, wild and rough with less than two minutes remaining, but no scoring was done until with only five seconds left, Price made good a free throw for his seventh point in the quarter to make the final score 42-37, Dallas’ favor.

Housing Program Meets Approval State May be First In Nation to Act By Pennsylvania News Service Harrisburg, Feb. 10—Governor Duff's budget recommendation of $15,000,000 for subsidizing low- rent housing within the Common- wealth, has been accepted favorably by virtually all factions. Nearly all are in agreement that something should be done about housing. If the Legislature approves the Duff proposal, Pennsylvania will have the distinction. of being the first State to embark on such a program. Veterans organizations — which have been clamoring for some sort of housing legislation — are gener- ally understood to be pleased with the proposal. Real estate interests—which have been calling for some form of sub- sidizing or stimulation—are fairly" well pleased with the recommen- dation, Before any definite action is taken however, hearings will be held by legislative committees and a general round-up of different views obtained and incorporated in any administration measure. Governor Duff has said: “We can’t escape the responsibility of doing something now, and not next year, about the housing situation in the Commonwealth. Since pri- vate enterprise has said it can- not furnish low-rental houses under present market values, we must provide the subsidies to let private enterprise do the job.” Father-Son Dinner Members of Dallas Kiwanis en- tertained their sons at a father- son dinner at Irem Country Club Wednesday evening.

Jim has been with us twenty-seven years—the best years of his life —working with us every day to raise the standards of agriculture and conservation in Luzerne County under his supervision. We think he knows what he is talk- ing about when he says we don't need any Federal handouts or W PA all over again to do this work properly. I for one am personally against the Game Commission's at- tempt to criticize his judgement in these matters. The Game Com- mission has plenty of work cut out for it without telling us farmers how to handle soil erosion.” = John Rebennack of Meeker was another who voiced opposition to the Federal project. “Jim Hutch- ison conducted the first soil erosion demonstration on my farm in 1925. We have been practicing soil con- servation under his educational pro- gram for years. All this sudden interest looks to me like some- body wants another soft job on the Federal payroll. I've been told that any farmer who falls for this Federal project will have to keep his lands open all year around to anybody who wants to hunt or prowl over them.” The Ohio river is nearly 1,000 miles in length, is 1,500 feet in width in several places and con- tains numerous islands. turned Saturday from “TUCSON, Ar: izona, where they visited their son, Sandel who is teaching mathmatics and physical education at the Ari- zona School for Boys, while taking advanced work at the University of Arizona.
