Back Mountain Jubilee Minstrels
Rehearse Three Times A Week
Added to the cast of Back Moun-
tain Jubilee are a pair of acrobatic
ballet dancers, Gertrude and Mar-
guerite Engler, students at Wyom-
ing Valley Ballet Theatre. Another
feature will be Jack Donahue in
song numbers.
Forty - five participants met at
Back Mountain Memorial Library
Sunday afternoon, remaining for a
rehearsal that ran well over three
Songs are being polished,
hearsed.
Final selection of end-men has
not yet been completed. More and
more talent is being uncovered,
husbands are being drawn into the
picture, and it looks as if every-
body in the Back Mountain might
be on the stage instead of in the
audience.
Costuming is in charge of Edna
McCarthy and Janet Lamb, who
will appoint a committee to shop
for material, design, cut and stitch
the women’s costumes, employing a
basically.simple design. Each mem-
ber of the chorus will finance the
cost of her own material, but cos-
tumes will be standardized. Wom-
en who can cut and sew are asked
to get in touch with either of the
Committee heads. It will be ex-
tremely simple sewing.
Three rehearsals per week are
being scheduled, with Tuesday eve-
ning meetings at Dr. Bud Schoo-
ley’s rumpus room on Lake Street,
Thursday evening and Sunday aft-
ernoon rehearsals at the Library
Annex.
The show will play for two eve-
nings October 10 and 11 at Dallas-
Franklin Township high school.

It's Time For Distribution
Of Books To One-Room Schools
Miriam Lathrop, Librarian for
Back Mountain Memorial Library,
made the rounds of ten one-room
schools serviced by the library Fri-
day morning, to estimate the num-
ber of boys and girls who would
be needing books this fall, and get
some idea of the variety needed.
Teachers may pick out their own
books from shelves in the Library
Annex, or they may trust to Miss
Lathrop’s discretion. Delivery will
be made within a short time, with
volumes and selections changed
several times during the school
year. 3
It has been suggested that many
parents do not know that the books
their children bring home are from
the Back Mountain Library, and
that each book should be accom-
panied by a slip bearing this in-
formation.
This matter came up as a result
Ben Johnson Loses
Toe By Amputation
Ben Johnson, Trucksville, has
been a patient at Wyoming Valley
Hospital, Wilkes-Barre, where he
had the great toe on his right foot
amputated on Thursday. Johnson's
car slipped from a jack and
crushed the toe, partially severing
it from the foot.
Ben, son of Mrs. Catherine
Johnson, Carverton Road, is the
young man whose wife and two
little children were drowned in
Trucksville’'s worst tragedy late in
July, when Trout Run burst its
banks and engulfed the little fam-
ily while they were attempting to
make their escape from the flood.

of a parent's statement, “I don’t
see why we should support the Li-
brary. We never go there, and it
never does anything for us.” At
that precise moment the twelve-
year old son was stretched on the
living room couch devouring a book
of adventure from the Back Moun-
tain Library, drawn from the col-
lection left at his school by Miss
Lathrop.
When the new school is built in
Sweet Valley, six of the one-room
schoolhouses will presumably be off
the list for books, but teachers in
the future consolidated school will
welcome them as avidly as when
they were teaching in the smaller
structures.
It was Ord Trumbower, Sweet
Valley merchant, who suggested
that many parents in that section
did not realize where the books
came from.
Siren Test In Dallas
Gets People Excited
Dallas Borough's siren testing at
noon last Friday, brought Norti
Berti, assistant fire chief, out of
bed and out of the house on the
dead gallop. Hazel, when inter-
viewed, said “I tried to catch him
to tell him it was a test siren, but
he was gone before I could make
a grab. He wasn’t feeling so well,
and was trying to get a little nap.”
A steady string of phone calls
came to the Dallas Post to inquire
“Where's the fire?”
The nine p.m. curfew in Dallas
is in the nature of a siren test.
Friday’s long blasts came as a sur-
prise to everybody.

light which no one saw as each
driver claimed it was blinking am-
ber. We never received a receipt.
We were treated very unfairly. We
did not pass a red light.
The following day I saw in the |
newspaper that he arrested twenty-
two drivers on July 4, 1951. Since
then we felt we would never travel
through Kingston Township. We
have traveled extensively and never
met with a similar situation.
When we asked what we had
done, Banta would not say a single
word. We really didn’t know what
wrong we had done until we re-
ceived the summons. We paid it
in order to avoid loss of time from
work, but have always felt that
Louis Banta would some day pay
for his “Dirty Work.”
I do hope you gentlemen give
him exactly what he has coming
to him. We are one of many who
paid fines for laws we did not
break. A man of his character is
a disgrace to your township.
We were never arrested in our
lives before. Our arrest on July 4,
1951 was made by a person with-
out conscience.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gorozza

Contractor Writes
I was travelling about 40 miles
an hour when Mr. Banta switched
the light as I approached the cross-
ing. The light turned from blinking
amber to green and I went through.
the green light naturally. He blew
his whistle. I tried to explain, but
he would not listen and used very
rough language. He threatened to
lock me up if I said another word.
Another car went through the
light but he was too busy with
me to stop him. I had no choice
but keep quiet because I did not
want to be detained on my way
to the Lake.

$12.50 fine for no reason. I know
several people from out-of-State
who were arrested for the same
reason and had to pay a fine. I
have watched Mr. Banta and he
just waits for some one to pass a
green light and keeps switching the
light when traffic is heavy. If a
driver cannot stop in time he has
to pay a fine.
I was stopped a second time and
told him I would not tolerate his
action, but would have him in court
if he sent me another summons so
he let me go.

Philadelphian Abused
I have written to practically
every one concerning Officer Banta.
I shall, rightly so, now ask you for
some show of justice.
In August 1951 I toured through
the Kingston Township area on my
vacation. On my way to Harveys
Lake I went through a flashing
yellow signal at no greater speed
than twenty miles an hour.
A car was parked in front of an
Acme Market so I attempted to
pass it. Officer Banta stepped from
in front of it, pulled me off the
highway and subjected me, my fam-
ily, (wife and son), and Mr. and
Mrs. George Ziegler of Wilkes-
Barre to a cursing outrage that I
have never yet experienced in all
my years ‘“‘on the road.”
When I asked what violation I
made, I was told, “Get the Hell
out of here before I take your
Goddamn license off you.”
In two weeks I received a notice
to pay Justice of the Peace Fowler
of Orange $13.50 or surrender my
license for something I have not
been able to determine since. I
paid the money. But in subsequent
letters I have not been able to get
a reply as to why I was arrested.
Has he got something of a racket
or what?
I am enclosing a diagram. Mr.
and Mrs. Ziegler and my wife can
attest to these facts.
