FROM
* PILLAR TO POST
By Mrs. T. M. B. Hicks, Jr.
Are you one of the unfortunates who are fighting the Battle of the
Bulge? Do you loosen your waistband with a resounding plop before
attacking your dessert? Do you yearn for a double chocolate malted be-
tween meals, or a helping of chocolate ice-cream with a marshmallow
and a sprinkling of nuts and a cherry and a dash, not too niggardly a
dash, of whipped cream as a top
ping ?
There are several things that can
be done to ease the situation as
well as the waistband.
The main thing is to steer clear
of the pages devoted to cooking in
the leading Women's magazines,
and to pass lightly over the colored
illustrations of baked ham, stuck
with cloves and surrounded by
candied yams and fried pineapple.
Advertisements of baked goods are
taboo, especially those featuring
three-layer chocolate cakes with
swirls of icing masking the top and
sides. It is not cricket for the pur-
veyors of such delights to show a
picture of a cake with its innards
exposed, but such is the nature of
advertisers, and very little can be
done about it. The sight of a layer
cake with its filling spilling out of
it to mingle with the icing leads to
furtive trips to the refrigerator for
just a little snack.
Adjust a pair of magnifying
glasses securely to the bridge of
the nose before toying with the
spear of broccoli, the helping of
butterless carrots, the leaf of let-
tuce and the ounce of ground beef
which is your portion at the family
dinner table, wearing blinders to
shut off the sight of the loaded
plates at either side. Fletcherize
each mouthful until the food, if
food it may be called, reduces itself
to a formless pulp and slips down
the alimentary canal without
guidance ‘or effort.
Get a job on the Dallas Post and
forget to bring your lunch. You
wouldn’t have time to eat it any-
way.
Yale President
Is Related Here
Griswold Is Brother-
in-Law of Arch Brooks
“One of the most entertaining
and delightful guys I've known”, is
the way Mrs. Arch Brooks charac-
terized her brother-in-law, A. Whit-
ney Griswold, who has just been
elected president of Yale Univer-
sity. - yg oe ,
“He is a fine student, very bril-
liant and serious, but there isn't a
pedantic thing about him.”
Mrs. Brocks’ summation came in
answer to questions from a Post re-
porter who had read that Whitney
Griswold is the husband of the for-
mer Mary Brooks of Scranton, and
suspected that the new Yale presi-
dent might be a brother-in-law of
Archibald Brooks of West Dallas.
Mrs. Brooks told several inter-
esting yarns about the man that
heads one of the nation’s oldest
universities. On the day before
Pearl Harbor, Mr. Griswold who is
an authority on the policy of the
United States in the Far East, gave
a brilliant talk before a woman’s
club in Connecticut giving authen-
tic reasons why Japan could and
would not attack the United States.
Not long ago Arch and his sister
Mary were discussing the respective
merits of Yale and Princeton foot-
ball teams. Griswold listened
amused then interrupted, ‘You
would sit there talking football
while the world is falling down
around your heads.”
This had its sequel some months
later when Griswold, and his little
daughter Molly were watching a
tight Yale baseball game which was
loosened up when a Yale batter hit
a home run. “Isn’t that the guy you
flunked, daddy ?”’ He admitted that
it was.
Yale students are, however,
deeply loyal to their new president
who started out in Wall Street,
became a Yale professor, an author
of several books, among them
“Farming and Democracy” and was
surprised by his elevation to pres-
ident.

Amateur Show
Draws Crowd
Contestants Come
From Several Schools
Amateur night at Lehman High
School Friday night featured con-
testants not only from Lehman
schools but from Beaumont, Dallas
and Tunkhannock. The program,
under the directorship of Jule
Bartley, Senior Class Sponsor, of-
fered entertainment ranging from
tap dancing and vocal selections to
expert twirling and accordian play-
ing.
George Malta played and sang
“Ol Man River”, winning first place
for his obvious talent and poise.
Helen Marr won second prize
with her blindfold playing of the
Marimbaphone.
Goldie Ide placed third with a
spectacular exhibition of twirling
with a lighted baton.
The Floradora Boys, muscular
creatures arrayed in hemp wigs
and short red skirts, short socks
and stout shoes, panicked the au-
dience with their rapidly vanishing
equilibrium. So enthusiastic was
the audience reaction to this novel-
ty number that it was erroneously
announced from the rostrum that
the sextette had won the first prize.
Later evaluation of the score-
boards with the novelty number
eliminated showed results as given
above.
Dorothy Rogers sang and tapped
“Shoeshine Boy”; Florence Sobie-
ski sang “Silver Moon”; Peggy
Sponsellar gave a vocal solo, “I
Love You”; Clara Patton played
the accordian; Lois Lee and Mari-
lyn James gave a duet; Marlene
Cease tapped; Treva Traver sang
“The End of a Perfect Day”; Ada
and Joyce Gordon sang ‘“Whisper-
ing Hope’; Alice Ehret gave her
own version of boogie-woogie; Pam
and Tom Dewitt of Tunkhannock
did a tambourine dance; Carol
Mather, very small, did a song and
dance routine; Carl Heddon, Dallas,
turned in a good performance on
Mis iliciiun; Janet Cornell played
a piano solo. Evelyn Keller filled
in the gaps with incidental piano
music. '
Judges were: Mrs. Loren Keller,
Idetown; Charles H. Long, Sweet
Valley; Miss Bethia Allen, Harvey's
Lake; Laing K. Coolbaugh, Lehman-
Jackson School Board; Mrs. “T. M.

Loses Finger
Byron Keener of Huntsville lost
the first finger of his left hand and
cut three others badly last Tues-
day while repairing his coal truck.
He was treated at Nesbitt Memorial
Hospital.
Don’t be alarmed one of these
days if you see a tribe of youngsters
resembling Indians, head dress and
all, stomping down your street. Re-
lax. It is only evidence of the YM
CA’s attempt to solve the problem
of transportation for Back Moun-
tain YMCA members coming to the
Central YMCA in Wilkes-Barre. In-
stead, the YMCA is “bringing the
‘Y’ to the boys” in their home com-
munities. Many boys carry member-
ships at the Central ‘Y’ Building.
The spotty attendance, proved by a
recent survey, indicated that. the
travel problem is the cause.
Charles W. Royce, Extension
Secretary of the Wilkes-Barre ‘Y’,
with the assistance of parents and
business leaders in Dallas Borough
and Township, has two groups
merrily on their way. The first
YMCA Friendly Indian Group has
been meeting in the homes of mem-
bers. This group of boys, 8 to 11
years of age, have chosen as their
Tribal name, The Mohicans, Their
Tribal boy leaders are: Chief, Lee
Ohlman, ‘Black Hawk”; Scribe, Dan
Robinhold, “Golden Eagle”; Tom
Tom Beater, Robert . Piznar,
“Hawka”; Indian Runner, Lee Mint-
zer, “Little Beaver’; Medicine Man,
Andrew Peranto, “Red Fox’; and
Wampum Bearer, Jack Berti,
“Flaming Arrow”.
In addition, the following Braves
are members of the Tribe: Conrad
Hislop, “Young Hawk’; John Hay-
cox, “Silver Streak”; Allen Root,
“Little Tomahawk”; David Estus,
“Red Feather”; Burten Berrettini,
“Running Buffalo”; Richard Body-
comb, “Little Horse”; and John Es-
tus, “Big Buck”. Older high school
boys, David Evans and William
Dettmore, are assisting Mr. Royce
as Big Chiefs. The Tribe enjoyed a
toboggan trip to the Country Club
Sunday under the leadership of Mr.
| Royce.
The Tribal program is - built
around Indian-lore. Tribal meetings
are held Fridays, after school.
Mr. Royce indicates that the pro-
gram and philosophy of “bringing
the ‘Y’ to the boy” has been well
received. The next Tribe will get
underway in the Center Hill road
and Claude street neighborhood.
The second ‘Y’ group already ac-
tive in its program is Dallas Bor-
ough Hi-Y Club. This club was
started with the boys in the Sopho-
more Class. The club meets at the
high school on Tuesdays. This club
(has for its purpose “to create,
| maintain and extend throughout
school and community, high stan-
dards of Christian character”. Hi-Y
Club Officers recently elected are:
Tom Peirce, president; Carl Young-
blood, vice-president; Don Watch-
ulonis, secretary; Russell DeRemer,
treasurer.
Other members of the club are
Carl Bailey, Robert Carbohn, Wil-
liam Berti, Richard Lavelle, Russell
Honeywell, Bruce Berretini, Bernard
Hoover, Robert Stair and Lee White.
Counselors are Bernard Rocko-
vich and Patrick Reithoffer.
The Dallas Borough Hi-Y ‘Club
fy be associated with similar Wiy-
oming Valley Clubs in Kingston,
Forty Fort, Hanover, Plymouth,
Coughlin, and G.A.R. There are
“now 11,621 Hi-Y Clubs in the U.S.A.
with a total membership of 310,306.
It is hoped that these clubs may
increase and be established in most
of Back Mountain communities.
On Jersey School Board
Mrs. Leon Dailey, formerly a
resident of Trucksville but for the
past seven years located in Gar-
wood, N.J., has been elected to
the school directorship, the only
woman to hold office on that board.
Mrs. Dailey has four boys and two
girls. She is the daughter of Mrs.
Amy Searfoss, Dallas.

Karl Kuehn, 49,
Druggist Dead
Funeral Will Be
Saturday at 2
Although it had expected . the
end almost daily for several weeks,
the community was deeply sad-
dened Wednesday night to learn
that Karl Kuehn had passed away
at seven at his home on Main
street.
Karl had been ill for many
months with a heart ailment that
had kept him from his familiar
haunts behind the counters at
Kuehn’s Drug Store, a business es-
tablished more than 50 -years ago
by his father, the late G. A. A.
Kuehn and more recently conducted
by Karl and his mother, Mrs. Jean
Kuehn.
During his long confinement, with
alternate periods of suspense in the
hospital or of recuperation at home,
he put up a valiant struggle to re-
gain his health. But in spite of the
faithful attention of his wife and
family and the constant study of
his case by competent physicians
the end came for him at forty-nine.
Like his late father, he had
hundreds of friends and acquain-
tances throughout the Back Moun-
tain Region, and he always had a
moment to spare to pass the time
of day or tell them a story. He was
especially kindly and gentle with
older people who were as devoted
to him as to his father.
Karl was not what you would call
a church-goer, but he was a mem-
ber of Dallas Methodist Church and
he could always be counted on to
support any worthy cause in the
community. He was a member of
the Luzerne County Pharmaceutical
Association and Dallas Business-
men’s Association.
The funeral will be held Satur-
day afternoon from the home of his
his mother on Machell Avenue with
Rev. Frederick Reinfurt in charge

Board Favors
Plan For High
School Survey
Interested Citizens
And Parents Attend
Township Meeting
On motion of Donald Evans,
Dallas Township School Board
unanimously passed a resolution to
ask E. S. Teter, County Superin-
tendent of schools, to conduct a
survey of the facilities and econ-
omic set up of all schools of the
Back Mountain area with a view
to establishing one central Junior-
Senior High School to serve Lake,
Lehman, Dallas, Jackson, Kingston
and Franklin Townships and Dallas
Borough. The survey is to be com-
pleted and report made to the dis-
tricts by July 1, after all school
budgets have been adopted in May.
The. resolution is the outgrowth
of recent efforts of the County
Superintendent's office and local
school boards to establish joint
school boards in this area to im-
prove education and to help boards
meet the financial emergency
facing them in the next few years.
All directors and the following
citizens were present to discuss
closer cooperation between all dis-
tricts of the area: Mary Weir,
Lettie Culver, Charles Brooke,
Michael Strub, Francis Ambrose,
Alfred Gibbs, David Williams, Marty
Walsh, George Prater, H. A. Ran-
dall, Clarence Laidler, Arthur New-
man, Clarence Myers and Chester
Hartman.
Mr. Ambrose spoke for the
Rotary Committee which has been
visiting all boards and Parent
Teacher Associations to arouse in-
terest in better education.
Miss Weir asked the Board a
number of pertinent questions con-
cerning tax rates. :
Mrs. Culver, a resident of Dallas
Borough, appealed to the Board to
forget differences between com-
muities and think only of all chil-
dren of the area. . Although a citi-
zen of Dallas, Mrs. Culver said she
recognized no township or borough
lines when it comes to education or
other community problems. “My
friends come from every com-
munity”’, she said.
Most of the meeting was devoted
to the discussion, but the directors
had an opportunity to hear that
new tables and chairs have been
put in use in the cafeteria, and
that Fern VanSante, a member of
the faculty has received her perm-
anent teaching certiicate.
Stubborn Safe
Foils Attempt
Of Burglars
Police Suspect Same
Gang That Robbed
Kingston Township
Continuing the series of robberies
that has plagued this area for sev-
eral weeks, robbers entered Dallas
Township High School early Thurs-
day morning but were thwarted in
their attempt to obtain any money
by a sturdy safe that stubbornly
refused to yield to their pipe
wrenches.
It was: the second time within
two weeks that a Back Mountain
school has been entered.
The robbers made their entry
by breaking a window in a boiler
room door and then battered down
a dividing door to enter the main
school corridors. Once inside they
went directly to Supervising Prin-
cipal Raymond Kuhnert’s . office
where they broke a glass in another
door to get at the safe. No other
rooms were entered or tampered
with, indicating that the thieves
knew their way around.
Following the same tactics and
working with the same tools used
in the Kingston Township High
School - robbery which netted them
$486.60, the robbers broke the com:=
bination lock and jimmied hinges
on the safe but were unable to re-
lease the door which protected a
considerable sum of money.
The robbery was discovered when
day morning and State Police were
immediately notified. They believe
entry was made between 10:45
Tuesday night when the janitor left
the building and 1 AM. Thursday.
Mud tracked through the building
would have been frozen after that
hour. Wrench marks on the safe
were the same as those found in
Kingston Township.
Dallas Township High School was
| previously entered in 1947 when
|a series of robberies were commit-
ited in high schools &hrpughent
Northeastern Pennsylvania. Over a
period of several years State Police
were baffled, but the robber left a
half chewed cigar in Kingston
Township High School. From it, po-
lice working with a dentist obtained
impressions of the robber’s teeth
which later led to his arrest in
Reading. He was an agile 55-year
old man who had been living as a
retired gentleman in an Easton
hotel while committing robberies
at intervals of several weeks in
schools through the State. He was
sentenced to from 9 to 18 years.
Bowman Heads
Businessmen
Arlean- T. Bowman was elected
president of Dallas Business Asso-
ciation at its meeting Monday night.
Other officers elected were Joseph
Hand, vice president; Eugene Sick,
secretary and James F. Besecker,
treasurer.
Main topic of discussion was the
forthcoming Easter Horse Parade.
William Stoeckert reported that
fourteen floats have been entered
and that no further wagons are
available. From now on those who
wish to enter floats in the parade
will have to furnish their own wa-
gons and horses, Mr. Stockert said.
Entries are being received from
all parts of Luzerne and Wyoming
Counties. Horse entries should be
sent to Mr, Stockert and entries
for walking groups and individuals
should be sent to Harry Lee Smith.
Next meeting of the Association
will be a special meeting on March
21 at Bowman's Restaurant, where
subsequent meetings will also be
held.
Attending were: Daniel Robin-
hold, Herbert Hill, Harry L. Smith,
George Turn, William Stoeckert,
Lawrence Updyke, Joseph Hand,
Arlean T. Bowman, Ord Trum-
bower, Norti Berti, Grace Cave,
