have enough speakers to take up
the whole evening so that no one

a word in edgeways they are not

Washington, D. C., also. _ And
when they meet with a school
board they don't want any one

board to swallow hook, line and

they do not, then they are placed
on the black list and are to be
replaced at the next election by
some one who will do their biding.

dependent stated that the Depart-
ment of Public Instruction had in-
formed the Kingston Township
Board not to sign their rights
away. So it could be that I had
something. I made no reference
to Mrs. Mosier, as she is my sister-
in-law I could tell her what I had
to say. without putting it in the
paper first, but you are entitled
to at least one more guess. I did
refer to a lady, who I have been
told is- a member of your com-
mittee. She has no children or
grandchildren in any of our
schools and never will have.
It is just possible by the way
this committee carries on that
parents of children should have
nothing to say, but at least a
hundred of them have asked, what
in the cock-eyed world this lady
was doing on that committee? You
might be able to give them the
answer. I could not.
I am also glad to learn that
both you and Mr. Ambrose are
going to remain in our midst. Just
think of all the fun we can have.
You state that the nature of my
letter ' necessitates an answer and
that the school Board could fur-
nish some of the answers, that
they had the figures in their pos-
session. Acting on your advice, I
asked permission to look those
figures over. Now, I know why
they can not give us the cost of
this program. No one else can

but that could never happen in
Dallas Borough. They must go on
If, I lived next
to you Doctor, and some dark
night I stepped over the fence
and took four or five thousand
dollars worth of your property,
and you went to court to recover,
and the court decided in your fav-
or and I took it to a higher court
to see if I could not keep it. How
would you feel? We feel the
same. Now let's go back to last
fall. The Editor of this
thought he lived in America, and
living here he thought he had a
right to support any one for pub-
lic office that he thought could
oF fill the bill. Others in authority
thought different and no parking
signs were placed in front of his
place of business, and the no park-
ing law was enforced for awhile
at least. It will take a long time
for that black eye to recover.
When people living in the com-
munity can not get along together,
how do you expect them to get
along with outsiders? Now, Dr.
. Jordan this is not going back to
the days of our grandfathers, al-
though I could tell you plenty
about that also. I think this is
as near up to date as I can get
it, so I hope you won't think I am
dealing too much, and to far back,
in the past. When Dallas Town-
ship had no High School some of
the boys and girls went to the
Dallas Borough school and had to
stand for lots of abuse. Several of
the boys did not like it and at-
tempted to battle it out. They
were no match for all the boys at
the school, as they all piled on
and black eyes and bloody noses
were not what they went to the
Borough school for, so they gave
up High School education and
went to work. Dr. Jordan states
that fire insurance rate in Dallas
Borough is 26 cents per hundred
and in the Township 54 cents.
One reason for that could be that
with a fire plug close by (with or
without water) might make up
some of the difference.
dan mentions sports
could be done in a larger school.
If this committee would realize
one thing they might get better
results. In all districts, except
Dallas Borough, the pupils are
transported to school and to have
a good football team or basketball
team requires practice, and this
comes after school hours. To
practice after school the boys have
to miss the bus and no other
transportation is provided, or does
‘this committee expect a bus to be
provided at no extra cost. We had
one coach, that took the boys home
after practice, if they would stay,
but that is not part of his work:
Just suppose that all the High
School pupils were located in one
place, is it likely that the boys
from Jackson, Lehman, Lake,
Kingston or Dallas Township would
stay for practice and walk home
I know what some of them
said when they were promised a
ride home after practice.
You say that I gave the im-
pression that present facilities in
Dallas Township are the best ath-
letically for the: students. I got
v my information from those using
‘the facilities and not from those
“who go snooping around to see if
they can find something wrong.
If you have just heard about that
Kingston Township project you
had better stay home a few eve-
nings each week and catch up on
local affairs.
I lived in Philadelphia for seven
Jr years and just outside the city
a similar project was put over.
Knowing how that turned out I
mentioned the fact that it could
~ happen here. Last Sunday's In-
paper '
{ Township
to make a correction on another
statement. What I did say was that
I was in favor of a consolidated
Junior-Senior High School and
that the Department at Harris-
burg had at one time said that it
‘should be in Dallas Township, and
that fifteen acres of ground should
be provided for it. I realize that
this would mean extra transporta-
tion for many of the schools and
it should be given plenty of study
before putting it over. It could
be that the bus drivers in Lake,
Lehman, Jackson and Kingston
Townships would be. delighted "to
run over here without any extra
compensation.
It has been suggested that the
Junior High School be housed in
one district and the Senior High
in another. If you have been read-
ing the papers lately you have
read that it is costing the Wilkes-
Barre school board $62 a day to
bring the Junior High school pupils
from Parsons and Miners Mills to
Coughlin High School so that both
could be under one roof. You can
see by that, that it costs some-
thing to get the pupils together.
I do not know how the members
of the Dallas Township school
board stand on this Jointure and
I would not be fool enough to
ask. But in getting around the
Township I learn that the people
have heard that one member was
elected so that he could use his
influence with the other members
to go with Dallas Borough. They
now feel that they voted for the
wrong man, but say that little
matter can be taken care of if he
should come up for re-election.
Not long ago, a who man was
raised in Dallas Borough, and got
his Public school education ‘there,
bought a home in Dallas Town-
ship. I do not know why he
bought here instead of the Bor-
ough, but having several children
that will some day go to school,
he must have thought that the
Township school was alright. He
{probably knew a lot about the
people down in the Borough for
he bought a place as. far away
from the Borough line as he could
get and still be in the Township.
It is just possible that he did not
Dr. Jor- | want to wake up some morning
and what |and find that the Borough Council
had held a midnight session and
taken him in the Borough.
The people in Dallas Township
feel that a Jointure of Franklin
and Dallas Township
would be a good thing, but can
see no advantage in a three way
program. Swapping pupils instead
of cash would not help any. And
if such a program is worked. out
the people should have a chance
to vote on it, as all the people
in the Township, and not just
three members of the school
board, will have to foot the bill.
This whole program is nothing
more than to pull Dallas Borough
out of the hole that they dug for
themselves. If they can't run a
school let them close up shop and |
send their pupils out on a tuition
basis.
A suggestion was made, by a
man in Dallas, that they could
sell the fire proof building for a
community house. It could be
easily converted. A suggestion has
been made that this committee
keep out of politics, they resent
the idea of outsiders telling them
whom to elect to public office. If
they can’t sell their program to
the people without resorting to
threats there must be something
fishy about it. = Remember Bob
Taft in Ohio. They threw every-
thing they had at him, including
the kitchen sink, and he got more
votes than ever before. So wise up.
There are a few brains left in the
Township, although at one time
the Borough thought they had a
monoply on that very important
part of a man’s make up.

Kunkle Richards, owned the fam-
ous Richards apple orchards, sold
by the family after his death to
William Williams, Norton avenue
and Peter D. Clark, Dallas, now
owned by James Pelham. Mrs.
Anna Richards lives in a home
which her son Paul built in Beau-
mont.
He is survived by his widow, the
former Emma Bellas; two children,
Mrs. Alden Dietz, Beaumont, and
Ralph, Budd Lake, N. J.; his
mother; two brothers, John, New-
ark Valley, N. Y. and William,
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.' and three
sisters, Mrs. Ralph Lutes and Mrs.
Marilla Felter, both of Bowmans
Creek, and Mrs. Palmer Updyke,
Kunkle. There are also four
grandchildren. .
Bearers were members of George
M. Dallas Lodge: Earl Johnson,
William Austin, Fred Dodson, Earl
Crispell, Nathan Straley, and
Lewis Hackling. Flower carriers,
