» Teague and PAGE TWO You Know Me By Al, Himself We see by the papers that the Harveys Lake Protective = Associa- tion has decided to ‘Press for Legis- lation and will appeal to Dr. Rus- sell E. Teague, State Secretary of Health, to improve sanitary con- ditions at the resort.” At the meeting Robert M. Rob- erts, president of the Association, appointed a ‘committee to see Dr. also suggest legisla- tion at Harrisburg or an ordinance on the township level to give addi- tional authority.” ’ This committee consists of Mau- rice Cantor, chairman; Senator T. Newell Wood, Secretary of Com- merce Andrew J. Sordoni, Dr. Louis Jones, Dr. M. C. Rumbaugh, Dr. H. I. Evans, Attorney Henry Greenwald, former Governor Art- “hur H. James, Attorney Al J. Kane and Dr. C. A, Miller. Now, can any one imagine a more impressive committee? We'd like to have any one of those gentlemen on our side even while we are going about our business of obeying all laws and we'd surely dislike having any one of them against us if we were ever silly enough to allow our sewage to seep in the lake. These men must be very busy attending to their own affairs and for that reason we cannot see how they can find time to waste in getting a law passed at Harrisburg that must already be on the statute books. Surely there must be a state law prohibiting dumping of personal waste in State lake waters. At least we though so at one time, so we entered the health office one day and complained about a home built on the lake front, ‘be- tween the road and.the water's edge. We told the officials we had watched the excavation for the septic tank, we saw where the outlet pipes were laid and we knew from knowledge gained in the fifth grade at school that family’s waste could go nowhere else but in the lake. We were told that was not enough. We must prove that sew- age runs in the lake. Well, we couldn’t break into a man’s house and pour green powder into his waste pipes, so we gaye that one up. There are persons here that live right over the water. If they have a sewage system they don’t use it. One friend of ours almost received the contents of a bed chamber in “his boat, thrown from an upstairs window. Surely there is no need for an- other local ordinance to stop that. Why not enforce the ordinances we have now? We enjoy the confidence placed in us by the home folk, especially as we don’t believe they've ac- cepted us yet as a full fledged Lake Townshipite. You see, we've only been up here since 1933, and that time is only a drip in the bucket to persons who have been fighting for better lake conditions almost since birth. They know, personally, everyone of the men on the “Harveys Lake Protective Association’s Committee for Better Health Conditions.” Some of this group have been their doctors, some their lawyers, some they have helped elect to political offices. They appreciate any help they can get from this committee, but they don’t think any new laws are nec- essary. They know that a health officer has not the time to visit every house on the lake front to test for sewage seepage, so the consensus of their opinion is that all that is necessary is for the health officer to use his eyes and occasionally his nose to note where families are living who may be breaking sanitary codes, then seek a warrant to enter and conduct the proper tests. All they ask is that the health officer “just don’t pick only on the little guy.” We don’t know what they mean by that—maybe you do. Beryl Colwell Graduates Bnd Takes Secretaryship Beryl Colwell, daughter of Mrs. Louise Colwell, Main street, had a job waiting for her when she graduated from the Commercial and Finance Department of Wilkes in June. She has been with Del- bert Craig, food broker, with of- fices in the Sterling Hotel, for two weeks now, and is thoroughly en- joying her first secretarial position and first real pay check. Beryl took one year of liberal arts at Wilkes after graduating from Dallas Borough High School, before deciding to study business. She interviewed several prospective employers before deciding on her present position. Wilkes has a placement bureau for its business graduates. Many local concerns; instead of advertis- ing for a secretary, explain their needs to this bureau. It was in this way that Beryl was located. _THE POST, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1951 Your Health || THE DALLAS POST | gaow Your Neighbor | & - —®N|| “More than a newspaper, Barnyar d Notes Why is baby so restless? Many things can make a baby restless. ’ The mattress has a lump right under baby’s back. The diaper is pinned too tightly over his abdomen. Some one left a bright light shining in his eyes. A fly is buzzing around his face. There are too many bedclothes and he is perspiring. Visitors have yanked baby up out of his crib and his chest and arms are stiff and sore. The, next door neighbor has his radio turned up loud and baby is irritated by baseball ballyhoo. Babies need a change of position and shouldn't lie on their backs all the time. Sometimes the drawstring in the neck of baby’s shirt is too tight. Or, the armholes of baby’s clothes have shrunk and are cut- ting into his skin. Baby's ears are uncomfortably lapped under his head. : An infant is born with fear of falling and a fear of loud noises. He should be carefully lifted and firmly held. In lifting, baby should be grasped around the body, just under the armpits, but never lifted by the arms or armpits. Mothers, for the most part, are considerate of baby’s comfort. Caring for a small child is a large job. Robert Evans Back At Dix After Crash Pvt. Robert Evans, son of Mrs. Helen Evans, Center Street, Sha- vertown, is back again at Fort Dix N. J. after a hair-raising exper- ience which postponed his wedding to Betty Johnson for an indefinite period, and came near causing his death. Riding a motorcycle on Sunday afternoon at 1:15, he struck a rut and was thrown violently into the air, striking a concrete block with his head. His sister, driving in from Elmira at the time, was just be- hind him when he crashed. She says he turned over four times when he landed. . Rushed to the Nesbitt Hospital, he was X-Rayed for possible frac- ture of the skull, and eight stitches taken in his head. He was dis- charged with a diagnosis of simple concussion on Tuesday afternoon, and started for Fort Dix on Thurs- day, his head swathed in banda- ges, his arm in a sling.

J., where she has been with her daughter June, Mrs. Albert L. Adams, who gave birth to an eight-opund eleven ounce baby girl, Ann June, at Mountain- side Hospital Montclair on June 5.

Mr. Roberts looks much as he did twenty-three years ago when he was playing guard on the Al- bright football team, with the same poundage, though perhaps a trifle differently located. He still likes football and hopes that his sons make the team. David Alan, now nearing eleven, and about to enter the sixth grade, has great possibili- ties, he thinks. Frederick J. the older boy, now thirteen, will be a freshman this year. He has been an A student ever since entering the Township schools four years ago when his family moved here from Philadel- phia. Charlotte, the only girl, is hop- ing that the kindergarten which may possibly be opened at Dallas Borough in the fall will be able to accommodate her on a tuition ba- sis. She has been going to the mu- sic kindergarten operated by Ruth Turn Reynolds, and has enjoyed it immensely, developing group con- sciousness along with rhythm. Mr. Roberts has a feeling for children. He is an assistant Cub Scoutmaster, Troop 231, having gi- ven up his meetings of the Men's Club in the Shavertown Lutheran Church to officiate on third Mon- days in the Shavertown Fire Hall. He thinks Scouting is extremely important, and expects to transfer from cub work to scout work when his son David goes on to the older group. Family interest revolves around the children, though with Frederick now of an age where he can quali- fy as a built-in baby sitter while doing a spot of evening reading or study, the parents are able to get out occasionally in the evening. Mr. Roberts belongs to Dallas Lodge, F. and A. M., and to the Ro- manager of ice-cream at the Wood- lawn Plant and his cub scout work keeps him from being much of a | joiner. And anyhow, he'd rather be | a good friend to his children and | enjoy them while they are still young, than attend a lot of meet- ings. He thinks that nothing is too good for the. children, that they deserve the very best in education that can tbe given them. He thinks that outworn prejudices, and out- worn boundary lines should not be wished upon the rising generation. They have a right, he thinks, to a world which has shaken off such | shackles. Mr. Roberts would like to see a school system so outstanding that graduates, from Back Mountain schools are accepted without ques- tion in the best colleges. He de- plores an educational plan which makes it difficult for high school graduates to keep their noses above water in the stiffer competi- tion of college without first taking an extra year in a private school such as Wyoming Seminary in or- der to learn how to study. A graduate of a New York State high school in Wayland, he cites the Regents Examinations as keeping local schools up to the mark. . He is very much interested in kindergarten. Frederick had the ad- vantage of attending a good kin- garten in Philadelphia, during the time when his father was associa- ted with the Philadelphia Dairy Products Company, parent company of the Woodlawn Dairy.

Fin, Fur, And Feather by William Robbins One of the most interesting talks I have heard in some time was given by Dr. Gordon Trembley, biologist for the Pennsylvania Fish Commission, at the meeting of Har- veys Lake Camp 274 United Sports- men of Pennsylvania. Dr. Trembley with the assistance of Richard Reppert, Keen Buss, Ed- ward Markovsky, DeWayne Camp- bell and Edward Westlake have completed a week's study of lake fish and plant life. To complete the survey as outlined by the Comm- ission, another two weeks will be needed. The work at the lake is part of a lake management pro- gram that has been under way for the past three years. ; There are several phases of such a program but the ones that seem to be uppermost are, what species of fish are present, and what types of food they are living on. For the first time since the survey of State lakes was started, a chemical ana- lysis of soil from the lake bottom will be made. This will determine if plant life is sufficient for fish life. Sometimes, according to the speaker, lakes are found where food conditions are so good, that fish will not be lured by baits, whether real or artificial. Scale samples are examined to determine the condition and age of fish. This gives the biologist one of the best determining factors as to overpopulated underfed fish. Live fish to be studied are taken by three types of nets: trap, gill and shore seining. In addition to scale examination, a thorough study of the fish digestive tract and its con- tents is made. This study adds to the survey of food or pasture for fish life. It was quite surprising to many in attendance, and because of the many tales and legends, to learn that there is a bottom in the lake, at a depth of ninety to ninety-five feet. Water temperature at the last reading was for the surface 70.75% and at the bottom 40% f{. This temperature will definitely support lake trout. Another interesting fact brought to the attention of the sportsmen was the oxygen content of the water. Many of us had no comprehension of the fact that fish Chemical analysis of the water shows eight parts per million of dissolved oxygen at ninety feet; ten parts per million at thirty feet; and at the surface nine parts. Fish can live on four parts per. million. The final analysis can be summed up by stating that fish can live, pro- vided they obtain proper food, at the bottom of the lake. Up to the present time no lake trout have been trapped, but nine- teen species of fish’ have been studied. The following list is given, and it is presumed by the writer that few fishermen knew such a (Continued on Page Seven) LOOK For The Name REALTOR when buying or selling real estate.
