Or, at leastp we know the
endless statements, ranging from the reassuring to the
grimly pessimistic, which they have issued for public
consumption.
But no one knows what the voters— the
people who, sooner or later, determine the policies of
this country—are thinking.
Holmes Alexande:, “2 Washington columnist, recently
decided to do something about this lack of information.
He made a ‘“shoe-leather survey’ which consisted of in-
terviewing a number of senators and finding out what
their constituents were writing about.
He learned that
six widely-held ideas are now dominant in the volumin-
ous senatorial mail.
Briefly summed up, here they are:
1. Acheson must be dismissed—even if that can be
achieved only by the impeachment of the President.
2. We must pull out of Korea completely and stop use-
less sacrifice. Apparently the opinion, expressed by some
top military men, to the effect that it is feasible to hold
defense lines in South Korea has met with little public
acceptance.
3. There is a strong lack of confidence in the Truman
Administration.
Mr. Alexander cites this as a typical
message: “I am proud of my country, and of my boy in
the navy, but not proud of the men who represent us in
Washington . .
manship.”
. . We are desperately in need of states-
4. The United Nations must be either strengthened or
abandoned.
Here Mr. Alexander prints the following
comment as typical: “This UN stuff is so much foolish-
ness as long as we let any iron curtain country foul it
up . . .. Are getting only token help from UN members
while Asiatic hordes massacre our boys.”
5. Russia, not China or North Korea, is our real enemy,
and if there must be war it should be directed with full
vigor against the Soviet Union. :
6. We should mobilize to the hilt at once.
And the
A-bomb should be used if it will help our troops in Korea.
Various other views of great significance were found
in the letters Mr. Alexander read. For one thing, not a
single letter expressed actual terror at the thought of
another war and the possibility of A-bombs being used
against us.
attempted appeasement of aggressors.
War, the tenor of feeling ran, is better than
Then Mr. Alex-
ander wrote, “What we have here, all told, is a situation
of total confusion . .
. . The administration is in the posi-
tion of a government which has ‘fallen’ from popular
esteem, but it must remain in office for more than two
years to come.
The letters quoted . . . . Could not go
through the mail except in a country that valued its free-
dom. But the great Federal establishment which guar-
antees all our freedoms is bogged down with lame ducks
in Congress, in the White House and in the cabinet.”
Mr. Alexander’s sampling is in accord with a view ex-
pressed by many newspapers, many commentators, and
a few leading public figures—namely, that the people are
ahead of their government in their thinking; that the
people are perfectly willing to face the facts, and don’t
need to be fed vague, equivocal and essentially meaning-
less
qratory by their leaders, and that the people will

PILLAR TO POST
By Mgs. T. M. B. Hicks, Jr.
The landscape looks like a Christmas card again, with birch trees
pencilling blue shadows across the drifted snow and hemlocks laden
with white.
We needed a blanket of snow to keep the rosebushes and
strawberry plants from heaving, and to replenish the water table, low-
ered by steady encroachment of city upon country, felling of trees, and
robbing of the soil with conse-©
quent erosion and heavy run-off.
An open winter may be easy on
the fuel bills, but it is hard on
the land. There is always that
backlash of cold weather when
spring’ should be with us, to com-
pensate for the prolonged Janu-
ary thaw and the unseasonable
warmth of Groundhog Day. An-
nual temperature has to equalize
itself, and it is a happy arrange-
‘ment all around when the cold
weather comes at a time when it
js due instead of after the crocus
buds are opening. Chances are, if
we get enough snow this winter,
the grass will come out from under
it in March as green as an emerald,
instead of being seared from the
roots as it was last spring.
This seven-inch snowfall is a
vast improvement over the soiled

FIREMEN TO MEET
There will be an important meet-
ing of Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire
Company tonight at the fire house.
Eipper Berates
Those Who Want
Joint Schools
Thinks Township Is
Competent To Handle
Problems By Itself
Editor Dallas Post:
It is good to know that there
is a paper in the Back Mountain
region that will print both sides
of a question and that neither
party will have to stand up before
a firing squad for having his own
opinion. In other words this is
America and not Russia.
In reply to Dr. Jordan I will
say that the good doctor did ex-
actly what I hoped he would do,
but could not see how, a man with
his education, intelligence and
standing in the community in
which he lives could stoop so low
as to use gutter politics to put
his program over.
The people in Dallas Township
are not nit wits and they do not
want to buy a cat in a bag. Now
that the bag has been opened
and we have seen the cat as well
as the tactics used by the one
making the sale, we want no part
of it. When the good Doctor lost
his equilibrium and resorted to
threats as he did in item 10 of
his summary, his temperature and
blood pressure must have been at
an all time high. Dr. Jordan
knows that all the members of
the Rotary Club did not see eye
to eye with him and his commit-
tee, and when a very important
cog in the wheel resigned from
the club, the committee took the
name of the Back Mountain Citi-
zens’ Committee. By doing that
they thought they could keep the
Rotary Club out of it.
Dr. Jordan admits that he does
not know the cost of this Utopia
that he is advocating. I do not
know either but I can make a
good guess. If I wanted to put
a product on the market and ad-
vertise it as costing no more than
what you are now using, but
would give better results, I would
first find out the cost and then
go out to sell. Dr. Jordan is try-
ing to sell something with no
price tag attached and that could
be the reason why the people in
Dallas Township do not fall as
easily as he and others would
like them to.
In 1925 we got the first dose
of something for nothing and it
came from one who should have
known better. In other words the
State Department of Public In-
struction. We were told that by
closing our one room schools and
consolidating them under one roof
we could save money and cut
taxes. Two years after, the taxes
were increased ten mills.
When one of the School Direc-
tors was asked about it, he said
the man from Harrisburg had only
talked about the good part and
left the rest for us to find out.
This committee is doing the same.
Please do not think that I want
to go back to one room schools.
Dr. Jordan says, that due to pre-
vious plans of the Dallas Town-
ship School Board that have not
materialized the committee has
not been able to make the pro-
gress in Dallas Township that they
had hoped to make. I have seen
no progress in any district unless
holding a few gabfests in -each
district is called progress. So far
no one has signed on the dotted
line. And if memory does not fail
me, this committee asked the Dal-
las Township board not to form
a jointure with Franklin Town-
ship, until they had more time to

Big Brass Bell
Rings In Belfry
Lehigh Valley Parts
With Steam Relic
The Prince of Peace bell tower
is now furnished with a bell. It
rang for services for the first time
on Sunday morning, but residents
of Pioneer avenue might have
been forgiven if they had leaped
to the conclusion while it was be-
ing hoisted to position on Satur-
day that the Lehigh Valley had
constructed a spur track ‘and had
reinstated a steam engine in place
of its modern diesels.
When it developed that the bell
from the historic Goss School, dis-
mantled with the aid of Dr. Henry
M. Laing Fire Company and de-
livered to the church grounds well
in advance of dedication services,
could not be swung in the tower
without benefit of a derrick and a
stone-mason, a search was institu-
ted for a bell of more suitable size.
Edward Meneeley, a member of
the congregation, and a longterm
railroad man located what was
needed up in Sayre, and through
the offices of the trainmaster, J.
Johnnke, rounded up an engine
bell from a dismantled Lehigh
Valley locomotive.
The engine bell, its brass polish-
ed to mirror brightness, was hung
in the belfry by the combined ef-
forts of Howard Young, Willard
Parsons, and Jack Sheehan, who
made preliminary preparations; A.
J. Sordoni who lent equipment for
hoisting the bell into the tower
under the oversight of Clarence
Woodruff; and Charlie Lee and
Harry Snyder who assisted in the
actual operation. © The bell-rope,
thirty feet in length, was pur-
chased at the Library Auction by
Ralph Davis and presented by him
to .the church for the belfry.
And it was Fred Renard who
rang the bell on Sunday morning
for the first service. Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Young presented him
with a bouquet in recognition of
services rendered.

Final Rites For
C. H .Tremayne
Dies Monday At 80
After Brief Illness
C. H. Tremayne, Yeager Avenue,
was buried yesterday in Denison
Cemetery after funeral services
conducted by Rev. Norman W.
Clemens, Wilkes-Barre, and Rev.
Robert W. Yost, Shavertown.
Mr. Tremayne would have been
81 in March. He had been acutely
ill since the Monday before Christ-
mas, and had rallied during that
period with expectation of re-
covery. He died on Monday at
2:30.
Since retirement in 1938 from the
wide-spread grocery business he
had built up from small begin-
nings in Ashley until it embraced
a territory reaching from Moun-
tain Top to Forty-Fort, with stores
in Ashley, Kingston, Nanticoke and
Parsons, Mr. Tremayne had made
an attempt to retire gracefully,
but found that life-long ac-
tivity had spoiled his taste for
leisure. After almost five years of
inactivity, he accepted a position
in the Registration Department in
the Court-House Annex, and held
it until his last illness. :
Mr. Tremayne was a native of
Cornwall, England, son of John
Henry and Ellen Rowe Tremayne.
At the age of 17 he came to Amer-
ica and settled in Ashley, first tak-
ing employment as a carpenter and
then becoming interested in the
grocery business. Fire destroyed a
large store in Ashley, but Mr.
Tremayne rebuilt at once.

ment of Banking and has more
than $114,500 in first mortgage
loans plus $2,600 in stock loans.
Installment shares amount to
$74,828.00.
Discussing the growth of the
Association and the place it fills
in the community, Mr. Richardson
said, “more people in the Back
Mountain Region should buy shares,
because they are a good invest-
ment and an easy way to accumu-
late savings over a periad of years.
It is a local organization and all of
its directors are local men.
Lions Hear Plans
For Area C of C
Al Bowman Speaks
On Organization
Harveys Lake Lions Club held
its first meeting of the new year
at Herman Kern's Restaurant
Wednesday.
“Formation of a Back Mountain
Chamber of Commerce” was dis-
cussed by Arlean T. Bowman, Dal-
las businessman. According to
Bowman, plans are being made to
lay the groundwork for such an
organization as an outgrowth of
the present Dallas Businessmen’s
Association.
The speaker made it clear that
this newly proposed Chamber of
Commerce could exist and function
properly only if business and pro-
fessional men from the entire Back
Mountain were represented. Har-
veys Lake Lions enthusiastically
endorsed the proposed organiza-
tion.
Business and professional men
and women in this area are in-
vited to attend a mebLiing Monthy,
January 15,2 P., M. at Bowman's
Restaurant to further discuss crea-
tion of a Back Mountain Chamber
of Commerce.
Lions Club members were in-
vited by Mr. Bowman to attend
a joint meeting with Kiwanis and
Rotary Clubs during February, to
hear an address by internationally
famous Dr. Stephen C., Y. Pan,
Ph.D. Doctor Pan is author of
“China Fights On” and longtime
Chinese Adviser at United Nations

of Trucksville Grade School PTA
on Monday night.

a total of $210 or $30 in each
grade school room for the pur-
chase of educational strip film for
the school projector.

sponsorship of the Luzerne County
Dental Society at the Dallas Bor-

Tax Increase Of $10,299 Looms
If Housing Units Are Untaxed
Kingston Township School Board
has taken exception to statements
appearing in public print, appar-
ently emanating from Luzerne
County Housing Authority, that
the State contributes the bulk of
school costs in that township.
Auditors’ reports show that
actually local taxes account. for
53.43 per cent of the costs; tuition
5.07 per cent and State Appro-
priations 41.50 per cent.
Cost to maintain a pupil in
Kingston Township Schools for
one year is $193.00. Of this;
amount $102.29 is paid by local
taxables; $9.65 comes from tuition,
and $79.13 from State Appropria-
tion.
If 100 pupils enter the schools
from homes built by Luzerne Coun-
ty Housing Authority, $10,229 in
taxes will have to come from
those homes, or other taxpayers
of the township will annually have
to pay the bill. The State De-
partment of Public Instruction has
given no indication that it will
make up the deficit.
Luzerne County Housing Author-
ity refuses to make any contract
that it will pay any county, town-
ship or school tax.
Dallas Bank Hit

Forty-Fifth Annual
Meeting On Monday
“Deposits have increased approx-
imately $300,000 during the past
year and total assets reached a
seasonal peak of slightly more
than four million dollars in No-
vember,” W. B, Jeter, president
of First National Bank of Dallas,
told stocksolders at their forty-
fifth annual meeting Tuesday
morning.
“Loans still continue high,” Mr.
Jeter added, “as a result of our
growing community and if our de-
posits and loans confinue to in-
crease, it may be wise to increase
our capitalization to keep the ratio
in proper proportion.” ¢
“The surplus account was .in-
creased $25,000 in July to a total
of $200,000 and with undivided °
profits give the stock a book value
jof $80 a share as compared with
$75 at the beginning of the year.”
Mr. Jeter explained that the
Board of Directors has put into
effect a pension plan for all em-
ployees.
He announced the resignation of
William Neely from the Board of
Directors because of ill health and
the election of Ralph Brickel to
his place as a, vice president of
the Board.
The stockholders voted to limit
the Board of Directors to seven
members for the current year, and
did not elect a director to fll
Mr. Neely’s place.
Those reelected were: W. B.
Jeter, A. C. Devens, R L. Brickel,
Harold Titman, Herbert Hill, Clif-
ford Space and Frederick Eck,

Critically Ill
Fractured Skull In
Coasting Kccident
Kenneth Hughes, 4, son of Mr.
and Mrs." Thomas Hughes, 4 Birch
street, Trucksville, is in critical
condition at Nesbitt Hospital after
a sledding injury on Sunday at
4:20 P. M.
Kenneth, with his three year old
brother Tommy, had been sledding
in company with Mrs. Hughes.
When Tommy asked to go home
because he was cold, his mother
took him, expecting Kenneth to
follow. Kenneth took one more
slide, but this time from the crest
of Lehigh street which joins Harris
Hill Road at a sharp angle screen-
ed by stone walls. His sled gather-
ing speed, he shot into the inter-
section and collided with a car
driven by Robert Davis, Rice street,
Trucksville.
The child's skull was fractured,
with a piece of bone driven into
the brain, necessitating immedi-
ate operation following admission
to Nesbitt Hospital, where he was
taken after preliminary diagnosis
by Dr. Charles Perkins.
He has regained consciousness
occasionally, but remains in a
state of shock. Some improvement
was noted on Tuesday, but on
Wednesday Kenneth had slipped
back into a precarious balance be-
tween life and death.

Earl Craig Succumbs
To Pneumonia At 60
