WILL FILE IT AWAY
Dear Editor and Staff:
Congratulations on your Thanks-
giving Issue of The Post.
It came about noon today and I
have spent most of the afternoon
and evening reading it. I find it
extremely interesting and informa-
tive. Local history has always been
a hobby with me.
While living in Wilkes-Barre, I
made quite a study of Wyoming Val-
ley history and occasionally gave
talks on that subject. After mov-
ing to the Back Mountain area I
soon realized that I was living in
a community with a very interest-
ing early history and I have been
picking up scraps of it from time
to time.
Today The Post arrived with a
wealth of interesting material. Not
only does it depict that early his-
tory but it also shows the progress |
and development of the community
throughout the years in a most |
attractive manner.
That copy of The Post will be
filed in my library as a ready refer-
ence on Bdck Mountain people- and
places. ;
Again my heartiest congratula-
tions. x :
Sincerely, -
George W. Houck,
831 Grove Street, N.
St. Petersburg, 4, Florida.
HELPS TOWARD UNIFICATION
Dear Dallas Post Staff:
What' an issue! You folks have
done a magnificent job. Like a
master welder, certainly there has
been more accomplished toward
unification of the Back. Mountain
area than dozens of committee
meetings. ;
You have proved that all have a
great deal to be proud of and each
community is working toward a
similar goal. In a fast moving and
speedy age, the only boundaries are
man made.
May we place an order for a
booklet, just like the paper, each
section having its grand pictorial
sheet—just as you published it.
Although it cannbt be read in a
day—it sure will be—every word
of it—.
Again—Ilike all the Back Moun-
tain—you have our sincere admira-
tion for so tremendous a task that
has been so well done.
Sincerely,
Alfred and Mildred Bronson,
Sweet Valley.
DOESN'T RESENT SCOOP
Dear Editor:
May I join what I am sure is a
host of others in congratulating you
on your Thanksgiving Issue. It is
an outstanding job and I am read-
ing it with much enjoyment. In-
cidentally, I cannot find it in my
heart to resent the front page scoop
you gave to the “Miners.”
Sincerely yours,
Frank Anderson,
President
Miners National Bank.
ENJOYED BOYHOOD SCENES
Dear Editor:
Mrs. Buckman and I both enjoy-
ed last week’s historical issue of
the “Post.” You made a grand
effort and produced a strickingly
fine special issue. Congratulations.
I have personally enjoyed read-
ing ‘about, and seeing pictures of
the old Dallas and Lake area which
I knew summers as a boy.
Sincerely ycurs,
Lewis T. Buckman, M. D.,

ACROSS THE YEARS
Dear Editor:
You sure did a bang up jub with
the anniversary issue. It sure took
me back to scenes and experiences
which I had in the days when
mother and I drove to Dallas to
take the trolley to Wilkes-Barre,
perhaps once each season. And
Billy Goss, I have often seen him
look just like that.
If you ever again get the urge to
print old pictures I have some
oldies of father and mother at the
Céntermoreland home, father in the
cart or mother in ‘the sleigh, driving
through a tunnel of snow which was
nearly as high as the horses’ back.
I like the picture of old Dr.
Laing. Dr. Henry, Dr. Spencer, and
father began practicing about the
same time. Many of the articles
book.
Am curious to know whose house
it is near Centermoreland; will ask
you sometime.
Sincerely,
Edna B. Howell,
Shavertown, Pa.
Mrs. Howell is the daughter of
the late grand old country physi-
cian, Dr. C. L. Boston, of Center-
moreland and Noxen.——Editor.
REMARKABLE JOB
Dear Editor:
I want to tell you what a really
remarkable job I think the Com-
munity Progress edition of your
newspaper is. I could never have
imagined that you could have put
together anything nearly so ambit-
ious and I can readily see how much
effort and thought has gone into it.
_ It is a remarkable achievement.
Kindest regards and best wishes
for the holiday season.
Yours sincerely,
Julius Long Stern,
Idetown, Pa.
PRESS WORK IS PERFECT
Dea Editor:
May I compliment you on the
splendid job you and your staff did
in publishing the Dallas Post Com-
munity Progress Edition.
In all my years with PNPA I do
not think I have seen its equal: in
weekly newspaper publishing. Your
press work is. perfect and content is
such that it will be read thorough-
ly by anyone identified with, or
interested in, the “Back Mountain’
section.”

PERPETUAL TREAT
Dear Editor:
Your 64th Anniversary issue is
a pictorial and reportorial delight.
And it couldn’t have been publish-
ed at a more appropriate time.
Many thanks to you and all the
others for the perpetual treat of
this issue of the Post. This is one
paper which is going to be saved.
Sincerely,
Margie Stout,
Shavertown, Pa.

LIKED THE PICTURES
Dear Editor:
Your special edition on the Back
Mountain area done in brown was
a fine piece of work.
The unusually sharp reproduction
of your numerous cuts, both in the
news stories and the ads, certainly
attracted the eye . However you
did it they certainly did stand out.
Wishing you continued success, I
remain,
Sincerely,
Charles A. Berry,

, AGAINST SPECIAL EDITIONS
Dear Editor:
Congratulations! That paper of
yours this week was a masterpiece
of which any publisher could well
be proud.
Generally speaking, I'm against
“special editions’ for they're usual-
ly something that the reader glances
at and discards. But I am sure
that everybody who sees that splen-
did paper of yours will do just
what I'm going to do—take it home
to read through over the week-end.
My very best wishes to you for
a happy holiday season and years
of continued success ahead.
Sincerely,
Pauline Lacey,
MISSED THE
Dear Editor:
Last week’s Post was just stup-
endous, super-colossal and some-
thing of which you certainly could
be very, very proud. I read each
page with keen interest and real
delight.
I am awfully sorry, however, that
we missed the opportunity of men-
tioning the Back Mountain YMCA in
any part of that entire issue. Most
of us feel that a definite contribu-
tions has been made in the life of
the youngsters from their experi-
ences in the Back Mountain “Y.”
Next time I hope we will be sure
and include the Back Mountain “Y.”
Cordially yours,
J. H. Godtfring,
YMCA, Wilkes-Barre.

A GRAND JOB
Dear Editor:
What a grand job you did cn last
week’s issue!
Appreciatively,
Oce Beryl Austin,
Beaumont, Pa.
Oce did a swell job of bringing
the old history at Beaumont up to
date, telling who lives in the old
houses now and what became of
the descendants of the early set-
tlers. It took hours of research
and visiting with old timers.
Incidentally she wmsed the facts
in her class room—all of which
adds up to a good teacher.
A “MASTERPIECE”
Dear Editor:
Just a short note to congratulate
you on the splendid special edition
of the Dallas Post which appeared
last week. All of us here at PNPA
thought it was truly a “master-
piece.” Interestingly, I note that
the Wilkes-Barre Sunday Independ-
ent thinks quite highly of your
work according to an editorial ap-
pearing in yesterday's Independent.
I am enclosing a clip of this in case
you have not already seen it.
Very truly yours,
M. W. Denison,
Mid-Atlantic Weeklies.
