Seventy Years of Life
'oday, October 21, the 70th anniversary of Edison's invention
the incandescent lamp is celebrated.
The lamp, which is so commonplace today, marked the beginn-

MORE THAN A NEWSPAPER, A COMMUNITY. INSTITUTION
g of the electric age—even as it marked the beginning of a
reat industry whose service has revolutionized agriculture, in-
dustry, and domestic life. Today there are nearly 40,000,000
wired homes in the United States. Almost all have radios. The
great majority “have electric refrigerators, irons, washing machines
and other labor-saving conveniences that are virtually considered
necessities now—and would have seemed the wildest luxuries not
long ago.
Rural electrification got its real start in 1929—a mere 20 years
back. At the end of that year, the power companies had brought
service to 500,000 farms. Today nine-tenths of all our farms have
service available and 82 percent are using it. In those 20 years,
the average farmer has tripled his consumption of electricity—yet
his ;annual electric bill has increased only 40 percent. Last year,
according to the Department of Commerce, electricity took less
than one perent of the average family budget—and for that tiny
sum it renders miracles of service.
Vast Monopoly
One of the better editorials on recent excesses by powerful
labor groups appeared in the Washington Daily News. It said:
“This country is heading for possible disaster. Combined coal and
steel strikes could disrupt American business and bring a depres-
sion. .
_ Both the coal and steel controversies are on a scale so
vast that they are getting beyond ordinary means of control . . .
The vast, monopolistic system of industrywide bargaining has
been chiefly forced by Messrs. Lewis and Murray . . . The lead-
ers in this struggle are over-reaching themselves to the point that
their struggle can wreck free unionism and free business.
Regardless of what happens in the future in the coal, steel, or
other basic industries, it has certainly been demonstrated beyond
argument that labor monopoly has reached an intolerable point.
The Taft-Hartley law has corrected some injustices, but it has
not gone to the root of the matter. Under existing law -along
with various decisions handed down over a period of time in the:
Federal courts—labor is completely free of the antitrust and
anti-monopoly statutes which apply to all other elements in the
economy. Labor can effect “combinations in restraint of trade” of
a nature which, if they were attempted by industrial or finan-
cial groups, would bring an immediate crackdown backed by all
the power of the government. Of these restraints, industrywide
bargaining, which gives a single union the absolute power to de-
cide whether vital commodities in 48 states shall or shall not be
produced, is the most glaring and dangerous.
In the interest of all the people, including the working man
whose own freedom and welfare are at stake, we must bring labor
monopolies under the antitrust laws that apply to all the rest of
us.

B. Hicks, Jr.
Cycles have a way of completing
far in the opposite direction.
themselves, pendulums of swinging
“Born thirty years too soon” is no joke,
estimated in terms of the human equation.
Thirty years ago babies lived entirely by the clock. When the clock
said that four times sixty minutes
mother gratefully lifted her squal-
ling infant from the bassinet, and
handed down the moon for which
the poor baby had been desper-
ately howling for the preceding
two hours. The baby, comforted
by the first few nips of warm food,
and totally exhausted by crying,
dropped off to sleep before his
hunger was appeased. An hour
later, refreshed by a brief nap and
now ravenous with hunger, he ask-
ed for further food. The baby
said yes, the clock said no. The
young mother, practically reduced
to tears herself by the clamor,
watched the clock until the hour
had struck, scooped the baby into
her arms and supplied nourish-
ment. By this time, the moon,
churned by emotion, had convert-
ed itself into a fount, not of bless-
ing, but of what amounted to
poison, and the baby got the colic
from his hasty gulping.
Times were tough for babies.
The strict injunctions against feed-
ing before a four-hour period had
elapsed were in themselves a swing
of the pendulum away from too
frequent feedings, too incessant a
trotting of the tired baby upon an
adult knee, too constant a round
of attention, but the remedy
proved worse than the disease.
After all, the average adult begins
to feel the pangs of hunger after
four hours, and sneaks out to the
refrigerator for a little snack.
Babies are smaller machines, and
in need of more frequent refueling.
For the past several years the
pediatricians and the baby books
in close harmony have been sing-
ing the praises of a more elastic
schedule, a system of goods in or-
der to condition them to accept the
idea.
The latest dope is unprecendent-
ed, classic in its simplicity. When
the baby cries for food, feed him.
Refusing food when nourishment is
indicated will do something to that
delicately balanced ego that is
howling himself purple in the bas-
sinet. If you really want to go
the whole hog and be miles ahead
of your day and age, rock the baby
‘while you feed it. Psychologists
-~ have discovered somewhat tardily
~.. that babies need rocking as much
as «they need food. Your great-
grandmother knew this, but it
takes four generations to redis-
cover basic truths.

Coal-0-Matic’s New
Anthra-Flo May Win
Markets Lost to Oil
With orders pouring in from
widely separated parts of the Un-
ited States and Canada, and with
coal dealers, heating contractors,
architects and engineers visiting
the plant daily, Coal-O-Matic Com-
pany, Trucksville, is becoming the
anthracite heating center of the
East,
The reason for this interest is
the development of the new Fire
Chief Anthra-Flo, low cost anthra-
cite burner. This revolutionary
home heating unit was conceived
by Coal-O-Matic engineers working
in co-operation with the Anthracite
Institute to produce a piece of auto-
matic anthracite coal burning
equipment that could recoup the
markets now being dominated by
oil, :
Anthra-Flo is the answer, It is
low in initial price and operates in
small space at low cost. It sells at
a price comparable to an oil burner
unit, but the cost of operation is
25 to 30 percefit lower than fuel
oil in the anthracite area. Anthra-
flo can be ey and easily-in-
stalled. / ~~
So enthbisiastic has=ifs reception
been that major coal pro-
ducing company is urging its deal-
ers to push it, It is their answer
to the terrific competition of oil
which has disrupted their markets
for the cheaper steam sizes of coal.
Never before has so simple an
automatic anthracite unit been
placed on the market. Anthra-flo
has less than one-half the moving
parts of the simplest conventional
stoker, It is completely automatic
with electrical controls and motor,
attractive in appearance and com-
pact, occupying floor space of only
h pit or foundation
mechanism for the
s to the can as used’
1 er. © ent has been elim-
inated, Ashes fall by gravity from
the burner into the ash receptacle.
This eliminates ninety per cent of
the problems of conventional stoker
operation.
With coal dealers and heating
experts beating a path to Trucks-
ville, the Coal-O-Matic Company
has established 95 dealerships from
Maine to Virginia. Contracts have
been obtained for 500 complete
units from D.L. & W. Coal Sales
Company of New York (sales out-
let for Glen Alden Coal Company)
and for 125 units from the Betting-
er System of Buffalo, N.Y., largest
wholesalers of D & H Coal in Scran-
ton.
Because it is the newest thing in
automatic heat the Anthra-flo has
held the center of the stage at re-
gional conventions of fuel dealers
throughout the east.
New England dealers were en-
thusiastic in their praise for it
at their convention at Swamscott;
Mass. It was shown again at the
University of New Hampshire at
Durham, N.H. and to the middle
and western New York Fuel dealers
convention at Rochester, N.Y.
It has been accepted by the
Massachusetts State Housing Board
and approved for installation in
10,000 project homes, in an area
where the use of anthracite has
been practically eliminated; but
here coal strikes have so under-
mined the confidence of home
owners in anthracite that coal burn-
ers will probably be installed in
only one-percent of the project
homes.
Next week, Paul Gross, owner of
Coal-O-Matic Company and the
man in whose mind Anthra-Flo
was perfected, has been invited to
speak on the “Newest thing in
automatic heat” at the convention
of 700 fuel dealers at Haddon Hall,
Atlantic City.
There, too, Anthra-Flo will be
operated under fire and hold the
center of attention for it is anthra-
cite’s best bet to regain the mar-
kets already lost to oil.

Eastern Dogs
Descendents of
German Champion
Take 7 Places
First German Shorthaired Pointer
Field Trial ever held in Pennsyl-
vania was held Saturday at George
Bulford’s beautiful Posten’s Pond.
The sponsor was the newly
formed Pennsylvania German Short
Haired Pointer Club, and the trial
was run under American Kennel
Club rules.
Overcast skies cut down the ex-
pected entry list and gallery, but
there were dogs enough to stage
a fine test before 150 spectators
from this area, Philadelphia, New
Jersey and New York,
The greatest number of entries
was from New Jersey, New York,
and Philedelphia, but the main
event of the day, the All-Age
Stake, was won by a Dallas dog,
the two-and-a-half-year old Blick
V. Grabenbruch, owned by Mr. and
Mrs, Richard Johns of Hill View
hFarm. Blick’s excellent work on
two pheasants won for his owner
the sterling silver “Sepp V. Grab-
enbruch” Trophy, presented by the
Pennsylvan German Shorthaired
Pointer Clup. Blick is .a”son of Sepp,
the dog memory the
trophy w: sented. This stake
Lwas for dogs over twh. and a half
years" old.
The first three winners of the
Puppy Stake "were from Philadel-
phia, New Jersey, and upper New
York State. All puppies in this class
were under seven months of age
and -had but little experience on
game due to their tender age.
The Derby Stake, for dogs over
one year old but under two years
old, was won in smashing style by
William B. Jeter Jr's, Biff V. Grab-
enbruch. Biff had two quick finds
on pheasants and two good re-
trieves, This young dog was con-
sidered the greatest German Pointer
puppy in the East last season and
undefeated in the only two short-
haired trials staged last fall and
early this spring in New Jersey.
There should be a bright future
for this youngster.
Second place winner of the Der-
by Stake was another Dallas
pointer, Lokey, from the kennels of
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Johns. Third
place winner was Lady Karon V,
Grabenbruch, owned by Vernon
Johns of Kingston. This young fe-
male showed a great deal of prom-
ise.
Second and third place winners
of the open All-Age Stake were
dogs from New Jersey.
The sterling silver trophy for the
Derby Stake was presented by Mr.
and Mrs. H. R. Weaver of Dallas
and the silver trophy for the puppy
stake was presented by William B.
Jeter Jr.
Live pheasants were shot over
the dogs’ points under special li-
cense from the Pennsylvania Game
Commission. The birds were tagged
with leg bands by a State Game
Officer which allowed contestants
to transport their kills back to
dinner tables in several states.
The birds were secured through
the cooperation of Harry Ruggles
Jr., of Haddonfield Farm. Judges
were Kylie Meyers of Morristown,
N.J. and James Gray of Boonton,
N.J.
The results of the trial were
gratifying to Mr, and Mrs. Richard
Johns whose kennel produced win-
ners in seven of the nine possible
places. First place winners of three
stakes were sired by their cele-
brated German field trial champ-
ion, Sepp V. Grabenbruch, now
dead.
Another field trial will be held
here early next fall

Country Fair
To Swell Funds
For New Fence
Hope To Complete
Memorial Field For
Tunkhannock Game
Bigger, better and more complete
than ever, Dallas Township school
fair will open tonight in the school
auditorium and continue through
tomorrow night.
Started three years ago by alum-
ni and citizens at the suggestion of
Mrs. Kate Wilson and Mrs, Arthur
Newman, the fair has attracted
hundreds of persons interested in
the welfare of the schools and their
extra curricular activities,
Organized primarily to help de-
fray athletic expenses, proceeds
this year will be used to help pay
for the new fence that is being
erected around the athletic field.
Grading is now underway and it
is hoped that the fence can be
completed so that the Tunkhan-
nock game can be playéd there un-
der the lights on November 5 or 6.
Cost of grading is $969 and cost
of the fence is $5,500. The School
Board has underwritten the entire
project, but the athletic fence com-
mittee has $1,200 to apply to the
project and hopes to have consid-
erably more at the conclusion of
the fair,
Between fifty and sixty feet have
been added to the Dallas end of
the field by grading. When com-
plete Dallas Township will have
one of the best athletic fields in
the area. Entrance to the field and
ticket office will be at the left of
the main entrance to the school,
Main gates will be supported by
two brick columns, The field will
be known as Memorial Field in
memory of Dallas Township boys
and girls who served in World War
I and II
Construction is under the super.
vision of Earl Johnson of Beau-
mont who has the contract.
Ultimately it is planned to add
bleachers. The entire field will be
enclosed by Atlas woven . metal
fence. Fe : ;
Among those businessmen who
have cooperated with the fair com-
mittee, headed by Mrs. Arthur
Newman, are: Himmler Theatre,
Dallas Hardware and Supply, Sam
Ashley, Hislop’s - Market, Dixon's
Market, Acme Market, James Be-
secker, Henry the Jeweler, Robert

Three Teams
Play At Home
This Saturday
Entertain Duryea,
Tunkhannock and
Factoryville Here
All three Back Mountain football
teams see action at home tomor-
row with two, Lehman and Dallas
Township, entering their games as
decided favorites.
Kingston Township, playing amaz-
ing ball to hold Forty Fort to a 6-0
victory last Saturday will again be
the underdog against a high-scor-
ing Tunkhannock eleven. Tunk-
hannock has yet to be scored on
this season and has run up the im-
pressive total of 81 points in three
games, However, while Kingston
Township has yet to break into the
win column, last week's stand was
a definite morale-builder and the
Katies will be out to even the
record.
Dallas Township will take on the
Red Rams of Factoryville and Tom
Edward’s Redskins should win this
one with ease. Lehman Scotties,
with a three won, one lost record
should have no trouble adding to
their laurels at the expense of
Avoca’s Green and. Gold, which has
not scored a point in four games,
Al three teams lost last week-
end, Lehman and Dallas Township
losing on successive days to Coach
Norm Smith's Wyoming Seminary
JV’s and Kingston Township gain-
ing a moral wictory although losing
to Forty Fort 6-0. Forty Fort en-
tered the game as odds on favorites
and except for a blocked punt in
the second period would have been
held to a scoreless tie. The heavier,
more experienced Flyers, although
leading heavily in statistics (fif-
teen first downs to two), were
held in check by the valiant Katie
eleven whenever they threatened
to reach pay dirt.
Lehman, after spotting the JV’s
20 points tried hard to even it up,
but time ran out with the Scotties
on the long end of a 20-15 count,

Marchers From All Back Mountain
Communities Asked To Join Parade
All children and school students
living in the Back Mountain region
are invited to take part in the
Ninth Annual Hallowe'en Parade
which will be held in Dallas on Mon-
day night, October 31.
This was the announcement
made this week by Henry Peterson
and Francis “Red” Ambrose, co-
chairmen.
“The parade,” they added, “is
not confined to those living in Dal-
las Borough and Township, We
want every community represented
and there will be plenty of fine
prizes for the best dressed, the
most original, the most humerous,
best groups of two or more and for
the best bicycle, tricycle ‘and
scooter class.”
For reasons of safety, the chair-
men said, no horses or ponies will
be permitted in the parade.
The parade will form at the in-
tersection of Center Hill Road and
Lake Street and will proceed to
Oliver's Garage where the judging
will take place.
The procession will be led by
Dallas High School Band.
We have such a fine list of prizes
Mr. Ambrose said, that it will pay
all entrants to spend considerable
time on their costumes, We are
especially anxious to have groups,
and we don’t care a bit if adults
with youthful hearts join in the
fun. ia fA
