Editorially Speaking:
The Balance Sheet For Dallas Township
There are many reasons why the people of Dallas Town-
ship should look upon the coming primary election as one
of considerable importance.
school directors elected over
mighty good ones. And in
for the good of the Township and its children.
There have been plenty of
the years, including some
general they have worked
But in
the recent past there has been an atmosphere clouded
with suspicion, distrust and selfish interest in which the
political ambitions of a small clique have been placed
ahead of the interests of the
community. A look at the
record will show why this must not be allowed to go on
for six more years.
Here are some of the accomplishments of your candi-
dates seeking relection:
1. The stirring up of suspicion and personal animosity.
2. Policy making on the basis of political considera-
tions.

seem to be based on the fabrication of false rumors and
the avoidance of any clearcut public statement of prin-

The citizens of Dallas Township now have the oppor-
tunity to regain control of the school board in the election
of Roberts ‘and Schooley.
Both these men have shown
their true interest in the schools and they are in this fight

FROM
PILLAR TO POST
DOT 17,
‘By Mss. T. M. B. Hicks, Jr.
Rules for grandmothers, published annually in the Dallas Post just
before invasion by the third generation, vary from year to year, but
they always include nailing down the furniture and building a barricade
around the Grandfather clock.
All venetian blinds should be
The windows will look delightfully.
removed, all curtains taken down.
airy without draperies to shut out
the light and sunshine.
Small china ornaments should be
rescued from horizontal surfaces
and parked under lock and key.
Alarm clocks are sure-fire bait,
irresistible to anything up to and
including the four-year-old level.
The top bureau drawer is a good
place for the alarm clock until after
eight P. M.
Always wax the bannisters before
the children arrive. This makes for
easy sliding, with the minimum
wear and tear on the pants.
Take up the rug in the dining
room, or feed the zoo on the back
porch. This maneuver saves heart-
burn when the inevitable spillage
or droppage occurs. A large blob
of oatmeal on the linoleum or bare
floor is easily removed. On a rug
it will be with you until you send
the rug to the cleaner.
Wash all high chair trays and
rungs after each meal.
Have on hand a supply of terry
cloth bibs. One medium sized
towel will make six bibs.
The cookie jar will not be large
enough. Your largest cooker will
be, about right. Per capita con-
sumption of cookies will astonish
you. Don’t go in for fancy stuff.
Children like large : cartwheels,
molasses or sugar. Be sure to roll
sugar into the tops before baking.
This guarantees a thin sifting of
sugar at all times on the kitchen
floor, and insures a daily mopping,
thus safeguarding sanitation. If
there is sugar on the floor, you
can’t be lax.
Supplement your dairy supplies
by laying in quantities of dry milk.
Children get thirsty. Most chil-
dren love chocolate milk. Supple-
ment the between-meal cookie
snack with a glass of chocolate
milk, and the young can then hold
out until dinner time.
No kidding, that chocolate milk
gag is the cats. Everything that
fluid milk has in it, except the fat
content, is in the dried powder.
The chocolate adds the fat. All
the proteins are there, all the
minerals. Dried milk does not
have the cooked taste that children
sometimes object to in canned
milk. A comparison of cost will
amaze you.
Make up a chocolate syrup with
two cups of sugar, one cup of cocoa,
one cup of water, a pinch of salt,
and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Boil
it for about five minutes, and store
in the ice-box until needed.
Put up swings in the back yard,
‘nothing fancy like a commercial
outfit, just ropes attached to tree
limbs.
If you don’t have a sand pile,
and feel that sand ruins the lawn,
invest in a load of topsoil. You
always need topsoil.
Children prefer something that
will adhere. Sand runs off, leav-
ing no trace, nothing to show for
a morning’s efforts. Mud is far
more satisfactory. Keep a large
tub of water out of sight behind
the house, and route the children
through it on their way in to meals.
Whisk off the sodden sun suit on
the back porch and there is the
child, clean and naked as a hound’s
tooth, ready for a dry sunsuit and
his lunch.
Keep a first-aid kit handy.
If your place has poison ivy,
spray it before the children arrive.
They have an affinity for those
nice glossy green leaves.
And remember, for Pete’s sake,
the time when your own cherished
child carved his initials on your
own mother’s table when you took
him home to give your parents a
treat.
Be, conveniently blind at times.
Farmers Market

Luzerne County Farmers Market
will have all of its 72 spaces filled
very shortly, says James Hutchison,
Agricultural Agent in charge of
the project.
All spaces have been reserved,
and with truck crops beginning to
mature, the offerings are more
extensive each week and the re-
sponse more enthusiastic.
The low spot in the center has
been filled, with no more trouble
from surface water after heavy
rains.
Church groups or granges de-
siring to serve refreshments and
stage bake sales are asked to make
arrangements at once so that
times may be allocated. Jackson
Grange served all of the week of
June 25-29. Many local groups
served last season.
The market is open Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, beginning
at 7 p.m. It is located on Pierce
Street between the river and the
connecting railroad embankment.
There is ample parking space.

New Pharmacist
ROY ELLIOT
Ed Hall of Hall's Pharmacy an-
nounces that Roy Elliot, registered
pharmacist, will work with him at
the store in Shavertown.
Eliot received his B. S. degree
in pharmacy from the Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy & Science and
during the war served with the
Army Medical Corps. He is form-
erly of Coaldale, and also resided
in Easton for a time. His period
of apprenticeship was served at
Hall’s Pharmacy last summer.
Last June, Eliot married the
former Marian Gregory, daulghter
cf Mr. and Mrs. William Gregory
of ‘Trucksville. They live 612 Rok
Street.
Mr. Hall states that a new pre-
scription service will be inaugura-
ted and that there will be a regis-
tered pharmacist on duty at all
times.
Ask PTA Groups
To Contribute
Kindergarten Needs
Special Equipment
If the proposed kindergarten for
Dallas Borough-Kingston Township
schools becomes a reality, there are
a variety of articles which will be-
come necessary. Some of them
.can be obtained through coopera-
tion of the three PTA’s concerned,
and some items such as stout tables
and chairs are better purchased
through regular channels to in-
sure uniformity.
Zinc-lined sand tables will be a
must, one for each of the two
rooms,
Two aquariums for goldfish and
snails would be a nice addition.
One-inch wooden beads for
stringing; materials for finger
painting; playhouse equipment; doll
house; soft pine blocks, hammer
and nails; large play blocks, will
be necessary.
Rhythm band instruments such
as triangles, drums, tambourines,
wrist-bells, will be asked for.
Michael Strub represents Dallas
on the committee; in Shavertown,
Mrs. Frederick Eck and Mrs. John
Stahl are co-chairmen, with Mrs.
Granville Sowden and Mrs. Gil-
bert Austin on the committee. Rob-
ert H. Williams, newly elected pres-
ident of Trucksville PTA will co-
operate.
Meetings have been held at the
home of Mrs. Charles Eberle, gen-
eral chairman, to discuss equip-
ment, and action awaits only final
decision of the school board, which
in turn awaits legislation from
Harrisburg.
It was the suggestion of Charles
James, Supervising Principal of
Dallas Borough Schools, that the
PTA organizations be asked 'to
help in equipping the rooms for
this first year, as much preliminary
expense will be incurred by the
school board in getting the pro-
gram under way.
Park Cars At Distance
Visitors are urged to park their
cars at a distance from the Auc-
tion grounds. Protected parking
accommodations for about 100 cars
will be available on the playground
at Dallas Borough High School, The
charge will be 25 cents per car.
More than 6,000 persons, many
of them coming from great dis-
tances, are expected to attend the
fifth annual Back Mountain Me-
morial Auction which opens this
morning at 11.
The auction will continue for
two days, closing tonight at mid-
night and opening again tomorrow
morning at 11. ‘
All traffic on Lehman Avenue
was halted yesterday by order of
Borough Council, busses have been
rerouted and special traffic regu-
lations are in effect with extra
police on duty. ;
Unless weather should interfere,
the Auction is expected to far sur-
pass any previously held. There
will be many new booths and thou-
sands more dollars of new mer-
chandise and antiques.
The Barn, sparsely filled, until
the beginning of the week, is now
bulging under its burden. Truck-
load after truckload has been
housed, until only narrow lanes re-
main in between the stacks of fur-
niture,
All day, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, family cars and trucks
pulled up to the barn to unload
their quota of offerings to the big
sale. It was a picture that would
have gladdened the heart of any
one interested in community en-
deavor.
Among the more recent deli-
veries are two tall walnut book
cases, a quaint old sleigh with high
driver's seat and graceful seat in
the rear, a completely rebuilt Sto-
kol stoker, an electric dishwasher,
three gas ranges, four fine electric
refrigerators, an RCA combination
record player and radio,
Washing machines, dozens of be
wicker porch - furniture, kitchen
chairs © and, .g¢hairg” snitalle
needlepoint, glassware and kitchen-
ware, several good bicyeles, pic-
tures and frames, three organs, a
dozen canoe paddles, old guns, Bad-
minton sets, tennis rackets, guitars,
mandolins, kitchen ranges, toilet
stools and seats, porcelain lavato-
ries, sink grease traps, costume
jewelry, bearskin rugs, portable re-
cord players, glassware of every
description, end tables, coffee ta-
bles, football equipment, and thou-
sands of other items too numerous
to enumerate. y
Never before has the committee
collected so fine an assemblage of
good used merchandise. All junk
has been discarded.
There are thousands of books
and odds and ends of all kinds.
For the collector there is a pair
of milk glass covered dishes, long
and narrow shaped like a ship,
with “Remember the Maine” motif
and Admiral Dewey’s bust on the
cover. Uncle Sam is crouched on a
battleship on the cover of the
other. There are some pieces of
Sandwich glass, and a beautiful
end of the Day pitcher. There are
brass candlesticks, spinning wheels
and carding wheels, four spool beds,
and a spool cradle, a grandfather’s
clock, dainty little occasional
tables, a wide variety of glass and
brass lamps, fireplace tongs and
andirons.
Antique toys, dolls and doll dish-
es have been supplemented with a
rare pair of doll’s swan shaped
sadirons and matching trivets.
There are small cane seated doll
and child’s rockers and chairs.
Rugs and mirrors abound. There
are used lawnmowers and pressure
cookers. ;
For the gardeners there are all
kinds of garden tools, wheel culti-
vators, shovels, hoes, and two ma-
mmoth cold frames. :
For those of mechanical bent
there are tools of every description.
Across from the Barn stands a
large white playhouse with lino-
leum floor, windows and doors that
easily open, ventilating louvres in
the gables, and gay Dutch boy and
girl trim. Painted in blue on its
side is ‘Back Mountain Library
Auction 1951”.
Other features of the Auction are
an ancient walnut melodian that
plays, a corner cupboard, a walnut
marble topped dresser, a marble
topped washstand, an English din-
ing room suite and a medieval high
backed chair elaborately carved
with pheasants, rabbits, dogs and
guns.
There will be a greatly enlarged
refreshment booth, plant and ve-
getable booth, baked goods booth,
book stall, candy booth, comic
booth stall and odds and ends
booth.
The Anthraflo heating unit
which will be auctioned Saturday
night will be on display and in op-
eration all during the Auction.
