Editorially Speaking:
Building Against Fire
Any community—and this goes for the smaller towns no less
than for the cities—which doesn’t have a modern building code
is asking for disaster.

No community needs to guess how to phrase a sound build-
ing code. The National Board o

standard code. A copy may be

The whole purpose of the code is
to help builders and officials achieve a higher degree of fire safety.
In the latest code, new building techniques and materials are
covered, with appropriate recommendations.
Fire prevention, by and large,
falls into two categories. The
job of the community is to pass and enforce a good building code,
and to provide such essential services as fire fighting equipment,
periodic inspections, etc. Then, th
is to learn the rules of conduct that will prevent most fires.

If
these things are done, our disgraceful fire loss, which exceeded
$7,000,000,000 last year, can be cut substantially.
Economic Seismograph
One of the best observations on the fallacy inherent in govern-
ment control of our economy has been made by William Henry
Chamberlain,
columnist.
“The whole system of alloca

wage and price fixing is a complete denial of the free economy,”
he said.

“It rests on the untenable assumption that bureaucrats
better than the free market sys-
interference, registers
every stimulation and abatement of demand with the precision of
a seismograph recording a distant earthquake.”
The recent price declines have
provided us with a particularly
good example of how a free market operates. In some cases the
drops have been remarkably hea
vy—high quality beef, for in-
stance, has been selling at wholesale prices as much as a third
under last summer's peaks.
This was the direct and inevitable
result of a substantial improvement in supply in relation to de-
mand. Many other commodities
have been moved, to some de-
gree, by the same irresistible pressure.
To suppose that any public official or group of officials, no
matter how wise, could provide
than the free enterprise system
a better economic seismograph
just doesn’t make good sense.
That system is powered by natural forces—not by fats and
orders which represent somebody's prejudices or whims or de-
sires.
A controlled economy may divide the poverty; but it can
never increase the wealth. Our swollen government has enough
on its hands without tinkering with the system of providing goods
and services which is responsible
living.

By Mrs. T. M.
B. Hicks, JR.
“For lo, the winter is past, the time of the singing of birds is come.”
Centuries ago King Solomon sang
of the renewal of life, the age-old
mystery of the rising of the sap, the swelling of the buds, the ecstatic
return of the birds to their nesting grounds, the hope that springs eternal.
Every race, every country, eons before the beginning of recorded time,
has held its spring festival, a giving
of thanks that the hardships of
winter were at an end, that the sea-
son of warmth and comfort was at
hand. Primitive people once be-
lieved that blood sacrifice was neces-
sary in order to propitiate the angry
powers, thus insuring the smile of
the gods and the slow return of the
sun to the wintry lands, the mellow-
ing of the earth, the enrichment of |
the soil, the fresh new green, and
the ultimate harvest.
Sometimes it was a young maiden |
selected by the priests of the ancient |
cult, sometimes both boy and girl]
singled out for the sacrifice. For
a year the chosen ones were treated
as deities, their every wish gratified,
their slightest word the law, but in-
evitably groomed for destruction,
the violent. death which would in-
sure fertility for the fields and abun-
dant harvest against the winter
bareness of the land.
As time went on and human life
assumed greater significance, a cher-
ished animal was cautiously sub-
stituted for the human sacrifice, the
heavens smiled with gentle rain and
warm sunshine, and the grain flour-
ished as well as when it had been
impregnated with human blood and
human fragments. Slowly man
emerged from darkness into light.
The sacrificial nature of the
spring festival passed into history,
but the spring festival itself re-
mained, and there was rejoicing
among all the peoples of the earth.
Who is there who can look upon
the first pointed spear of the tulip,
the greening grass, the rosy flush of
the maple trees, the snowy drift
of the dogwood, without giving
thanks in his heart that the winter
indeed is past, that the time of the
singing of birds is come, that the
wondrous wheel of life and love and
happiness has traced its inevitable
cycle, and that spring is here.

Kunkle Forms
Harry C. Smith
Fire Company
Named In Honor Of
Man Killed During
Battle Of The Bulge
The charter has been received for
a new Kunkle fire company named
in honor of Harry C. Smith, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith, who lost
his life in Belgium on January 15,
1945, while serving as a platoon
leader with the 135th Infantry.
The company has been in the
process of organization for the past
two years and has approximately
fifty members.
Officers are: Marvin Elston, pres-
ident; Frank Boston, secretary-
treasurer, and Fred Dodson, chief.
It is expected that Kunkle Grange
Hall which is no longer in use, will
be used as a fire hall. The com-
pany has already purchased a new
Studebaker chassis and had a truck
body and booster tank constructed
by Stev Ward. Within a few
weeks it expects to purchase hose,
ladders, pump and other needed
equipment. Initial investment of
approximately $2,500 has been
raised through Community dinners
and dances at Kunkle Community
Hall so that the company has been
able to pay cash for its equipment
but further funds will be needed
to buy auxiliary items.
Tonight the company will hold a
Talent Show at Community Hall.
Entertainers from Noxen, Kunkle,
Dallas, Harvey's Lake and Wilkes-
Barre will take part to help the
firemen raise additional funds.

School Board
Applies For
Building Loan
Chamberlain Threatens
Jump In Millage And
Possible Payroll Tax
Dallas Township School Board,
adopted a tentative budget Tues-
day night. It will be open to the
public for inspection, and will be
formally adopted in May.
Several items in the budget make
provision for financing an eight
room grade school building with
the help of the Pennsylvania State
Authority, which provides loans to
school districts for building pur-
poses over a period of thirty years.
Under present taxing arrange-
ments, Dallas Township will need
for expansion purposes the tax rev-
enue expected from the two textile
mills located in the township.
Directors said it is not their pur-
pose to compel the two industries
to carry the burden of financing
a building program, but it is be-
lieved that these industries should
agree to pay taxes proportionate to
their capital investments.
At the meeting John McCusker,
general manager of Natona Mills,
accompanied by" the corporation's
legal counsel, Attorney Mitchell
Jenkins, petitioned the Board of
Directors to allow the present asses-
ment of $57,700 on Natona Mills
to stand.
The directors are of the opinion
that an assessment of $157,700.00
as set tentatively by Luzerne Coun-
ty Board of Assessors, is not ex-
cessive. The difference in tax in-
come would greatly aid in paying
the yearly rental to the State Au-
thority for the proposed new school
building. It was pointed out that
to permit Natona to pay taxes on
the basis of its present low assess-
ment would set a precedent for
assessing Bloomsburg Mills, Direc
tors said that both plants, pay
impair the educational expansion
planned for the township and
necessitated by increased popula-
tion growth resulting from the loca-*
tion of the mills here.
Following the appeal made by
Attorney Jenkins, Donald J. Evans,
board president, outlined plans for
the new elementary school. He
said that in order to pay for the
proposed school, tax revenues must
be sufficient to assure the State
Authority a yearly rental of $13,000.
Attorney Jenkins, stated that low
taxing will encourage new industry
to locate in the Back Mountain
Area, and Natona Mills will desire
low assessment for a year or so
until it can operate with profit. Mr.
Evans, replied that the present
heavy enrollment, and potential en-
rollment this coming September in
Dallas Township School, is of grave
concern to the Board, and that if
Natona Mills and Bloomsburg Mills
officials fully understood the situa-
tion, they will willingly co-operate
and pay taxes on the basis of a fair
assessment.
Floyd W. Chamberlain, Board
secretary, threatened that if the
two mills do not pay on higher
assessments, it may be necessary
to increase school tax millage from
| 33 to 35 mills, and in addition, levy :
a payroll tax. Directors Stephen N.
| Davis and Thomas S. Moore agreed
with Mr. Evans.
Attorney Jenkins informed the
Board that Mr. McCusker would -
take the matter up with his of-
ficials in New York City, and ef-
forts would be made to concur with
the needs of the School District.
Later in the meeting it was an-
nounced that the County Superin-
tendent of schools and the Luzerne
County Board of School Directors
had app-oved the app'i-ation of
Deollas Township School Districts for
a loan of $149,000 for building pur-
poses from the State Authority.
The application will go to Harris-
burg for further action by the
Authority and State school officials.
Directors present: Donald J.
Evans, who presided; Thomas S.
Moore, Stephen N. Davis, Floyd W.
Chamberlain, secretary; Walter J.
Elston, Atty. Jonathan Valentine,
solicitor; and Raymond Kuhnert,
superintendent of schools. Next
regular meeting of the School Board
will be on Tuesday evening, May 3.
