Dear Sir: Shakespeare, wrote poetry which P Brader and Mrs. Dale Parry.
We liked your idea of giving
your readers a chance to answer
the questionaire sent to you by
the American Press Association,
even though some of the questions
hint how they would like to have
them answered.
Question One: “What do we think
should be done about the Taft-
Hartley Law?” It should be re-
pealed of course. Any law that
states one must sign a statement
that he does not belong to the
Communistic party before he can
take advantage of the latest labor
legislation is dangerous. The Com-
munistic party is a political party
and despite the hysteria going on
about it in this country today, its
members have the same right to
form a party as we Republicans or
the Democrats do. Also no one
is going to force us to work along
side of a non union man if we
don’t want to, any more than any
law can force a non union man to
work with a union man if he does
" not want to.
Question Two: “How would we
like to see government costs cut?”
“—by elimination of farm sub-
sidies, by—" and then it goes on
with a large list of inconsequential
things that don’t amount to a
whoop, but it doesn’t include the
question of “would we like to see
the Hoover plan put in motion”"—
to that we would answer “yes”.
What is everybody except the
farmer worrying about farm sub-
sidies for? We have to eat, don’t
we? Then we have to have farm-
ers, and if any one can think of a
better way to keep farmers on the
farm than a government subsidy
we'd like to hear it. There are a
number of other subsidies that
could be more easily cut, such as
the Post Office subsidy.
The third, fourth and fifth ques-|
tions deal with how we'd like to
have taxes reduced. We are not
in favor of reducing any federal
taxes until our two wars are paid
for. Why compel the coming gen-
eration to pay for our wars?
The sixth question: “Would we
like Congress to simplify the in-
come tax law”, off hand, without
hestitation, we'd say, “For gosh
sakes, yes,” but when that leads
to the seventh question if we'd
like the law “simplified” by elimin-
ating deductions to worthy causes,
our answer is then ‘no” to both
the sixth and seventh questions.
For if Congress does that we are
afraid a lot of worthy causes such
church, Red Cross, Red
Feather, etc. are going to suffer.
The Eighth Question: “Would we
like reductions in the lower, middle,
or upper group in the income tax
laws?” Let’s see. What group are
we in? Probably the middle. Well,
we wanted to be fair in this thing,
so we said eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
and by gosh, if it didn’t come out
that we wanted reductions in the
middle. Can't the American Press
Association think up more diffi-
cult questions?
‘The ninth and tenth questions
deal with social security: “Do we
favor expanding it to include
groups not covered? Do we favor
increasing the benefits?” As for
the first part of the question, we
see no reason why we should en-
joy social security unless all do,
are
in favor of increasing social secur-
ity to the limit of what the em-
ployee and the employer are will-
ing to pay and for the life of us
we can’t see where it is any one
else’s business, for this is the one
thing the government does not pay
for, the funds tome out of the
pockets of the employee and the
employer.
The elevénth question: “Do we
favor a federal system of compul-
sory health insurance iE
Ah! we seem to be standing alone
on that for we most certainly do.
If some of you would look up the
statistics why so many of us were
unable to respond to the call of
the last war because of poor health,
not being able to take care of our-
selves properly; and if more of you
would talk to your druggist about
the racket in the high present costs
of medicine, maybe some of you
would change your minds. We may
have another war, you know, and
we should have enough healthy
kids to fight it.
The twelfth and thirteenth ques-
tioné dea® with the advertising and
sale of alcoholic beverages. Haven't
we learned yet that we can’t stop
a man from drinking by passing
a law?
The fourteenth question: “Do we
favor compulsory military train-
ing? We certainly do as long as
this cold war is on.
The fifteenth question: “Do we
agree with those who charge that
the Department of Justice is dis-
criminating against big business?”
Well, we are not worrying about
that, because we have a lot of
faith in the American people, and
when the chips are down the
people, will tell the Department of
Justice how far it may go.
The sixteenth question deals with
state rights. We are against
“state rights” as the Southerner
sees it. We are for ‘‘state rights”
as the /Northerner sees it, that is
probably because we are a North-
erner.
The seventeenth question: “Do
we fear that our nation is headed
can be readily comprehended by
any one who can read. I have not
found anything in Sandburg which
cannot be read by any one with an
eighth-grade education.
I didn’t get time to make a list
of titles before I fled the pre-bus-
iness-meeting gossip of the ladies,
but I can remember a few. It may
be that some of these don’t actu-
ally exist on Back Mountain Me-
morial Library's shelves, but if
my memory has deluded me, some
one ought to contribute them any-
way.

Much is being said about Social-
ized medicine, for and against, but
nothing will be done to stop it
unless you yourself do it.
The Dallas Woman's Club has
started the move in Dallas and is
one of the first clubs in this area
to realize the importance of this
bill. With this in mind resolutions
were drawn up protesting Social-
ized medicine and sent to the fol-

nowledged receipt of our letters:
U.S. Senator Edward Martin, U.
S. Senator Francis Meyers, The
Governor of Pennsylvania, Senator
Newell Wood, Representative Har-

Flood.
Dallas Woman's Club alone can-
not express an opinion for you all.
These men whom you have elect-
ed, to represent you can only be
guided by the letters which they
receive from you, therefore, now is
the time to expres your protest
against Socialized Medicine by writ-
ing to these men and keeping your-
self with a name to be proud of

number in a government file.

Do You Want To Cut
Your Federal Taxes?
Slash Government Cost
If your personal or business ex-
penses go up and your income and
efficiency come down this year at
the same rate as that of the Fed-
eral Government, you will be in the
hands of the sheriff at an early
date.
Workers, farmers, and business-
men from Maine to California know
this. The answer is in the Report
of the Commission on the Organi-
zation of the Executive Branch of
the Federal Government. This
twelve-man, bi-partisan Commission
was unanimously created by Con-
gress with the approval of the
President. At the suggestion of Mr
Truman, former President Hoover
was made its Chairman and Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson, Vice
Chairman. The late president
Franklin D. Roosevelt long had ad-
vocated such a reorganization of
the government.
There is a two-fold purpose
behind the effort to reorganize the
Executive Branch of the Govern-
ment: One—the elimination of in-
efficiency caused by overlapping
and duplication; two—this should
lead to a reduction of your taxes
If our Government can save from
three to four billion dollars a year
by more efficient methods of con-
ducting our business, failure to act
is stupid short-sightedness.
Action, however, depends upon
the President and Congress. The
President has already submitted a
number of reorganization recom-
mendations. The Congress has
adoot>d several of these, most im-
portant having to do with the
housekeeping of the armed forces,
which save the taxpayer more than
$500,000,000 a year. But these are
only frst steps. There will be more
ahead if Congress is made to realize
Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer want more
tax-saving economies. Congressmen
and Senators will vote for just so
many of the Commission’s recom-
mendation as you, their consti-
tuents, demand.
What can you, as an individual,
do about it? The answer is to write
your Congressman and Senators.
Tell them you want the Recommen-
dations of the Commission on the
Organization of the Executive
Branch of the Federal Government
made the law of the land. Join
the non-partisan Citizens Commit-
tee set up to obtain the necessary
action to make the Commission's
report work. Write to the Citizens
Committee for Reorganization of
the Executive Branch of the Gov-
ernment, 1421 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia 2, Pennslyvania, for
more information about the Com-
mission Report. Tell your neigh-
bors “about it. Make speeches!
Make your representatives in
Washington act—now!

Kingston Township-
Fairview Encounter
The big three, Fairview, Harter,
and Kingston Township, are batt-
ling for first half honors with all
eyes on the Fairview-Kingston
Township encounter tonight at
Fairview. A victory for the Katies
will lock three teams in a first-
place tie. Since the league is run-
ning by halves this season it would
necessitate a playoff series.
If, however, the favored Moun-
tain Toppers come through with a
win it will cinch the first half title
for them with six straight victor-
ies.
Kingston Township will bank on
dead-eyes, Jack Richards, league's
top scorer, and lefty Jack Pesa-
vento to overcome the scoring of
Strauss, Kreuzer, Malone and com-
pany.
The other two games find Leh-
man at Dallas Township and Dallas
Borough at Laketon. With Frank
Pavlick, number four league scorer
showing the way and with Roberts
and Piznar to handle the boards,
Dallas Borough should add another
victory to establish itself in fourth
place. Lehman, strictly a hot and
cold outfit, will be out to live up
to pre-season reputation by taking
Dallas Township in tow in a battle
for fifth place. The Redskins, vic-
tims of a 90-36 slaughter, will be
on the rebound to give the Scotties
a rough time. The added height of
Mattie, Miers, Kozich and Roberts
of Dallas Township could spell the
difference.
Friday's games mark the finish
of the first half with all teams
getting a breather Tuesday before
embarking on the second trip
around.
Tuesday’s Games
Two runaways and one thriller
were on the program Tuesday
night. Harter, topping all recent
Back Mountain scoring records, un-
mercifully pounded the hapless
Redskins 54 points in scoring a 90-
36 win. Fairview, after a slow
start, took Laketon to the tune
of 55-28. Dallas Borough, showing
marked improvement, came through
when the blue chips were in the
pot to run a narrow one and two
point lead into an eight-point vic-
tory in the closing minutes to sur-
prise Lehman, 55-47.
Harter-Township
Mrs. Paul Mulcey reported that
nineteen wheel chairs had been
placed by the Shut-In Committee.
Ten dollars was donated to the
March of Dimes. Marion Schneider
of Wilkes-Barre gave an interesting
talk on ceramics.
Present were: Mrs. Edward Kel-
ler, Mrs. Hanford Eckman, Mrs.
Charles W. Lee, Mrs. Francis Am-
brose,. Mrs. Harold Payne, Mrs. L.
F. Kingsley, Mrs. A. N. Garinger,

ton’s efforts, to ease Fairview to its
fifth straight triumph. Kreuzer,
Fairview ace, was held to 3 points,
but Dickinscn, Malone, and Strauss
took up the slack with 38 points
between them. No Laketon man
hit double figures as Fisk with 8
was high.

Harter, hitting for 49 points in
one half, had a perfect night with
three men hitting double figures
and one, Pincofski, sophomore cen-
ter, scoring 30 points for a single
game high. McKeown’s 22 added to
his 27 last Friday to push him
from seventh to second in the scor-
ing race while Crawford's 17 kept
him in the fifth place slot. Dallas
Township - was ineffective. Hope's
13 points were the only bright spot.
Borough-Lehman
Dallas Borough, playing its best
game of the year, took the lead
right from the opening whistle and
pressed all the way in earning a
well-deserved 55-47 victory. Bruce
Roberts was outstanding defen-
sively as he repeatedly handled
both boards for Dallas. The ac-
curacy of Dallas’ scorers, Pavlick,
Roberts, and McGarry, combined
with an off night for Nuss, Leh-
man’s ace, spelled the difference.
Mont, Bonning, and Graham car-
ried the load for Lehman.
