Women have been quartering
apples and boiling them up with
skins and cores ever since apples
were invented. Why bother to peel
them or core them? Even before
some bright soul invented the Foley
Mill, it was a simple job to push
the mass through the sieve, throw
out the roughage, and sweeten the
remainder while still hot.
Some of us go a step farther. We
pour the boiled apple through the
colander without pressing on it, and
retrieve that first clear juice to use
in making a glassful of jelly. Boiled
quickly with a stick of cinnamon
glass, it’s a natural. It’s called eat-
ing your apple and having it too.
We used to have a tree with
bright red apples on it, that we cal-
led the apple-sauce tree. Boiled with
the skins on, the apples took on a
delightful blush, the pink product
far apA.away prettier than the con-
ventional paliid stuff: Cooking needs
a little imagination. It is too bad
to slavishly follow a recipe without
ever doing a little of this and that
to it to make the end result stand
out as something special.
Dixon's Buick
No Trace Found
Of Maroon Sedan
A 1949 2-door maroon Buick
sedan belonging to Ralph Dixon was
stolen sometime Monday night or
early Tuesday morning while it was
parked in front of Mr. Dixon’s Res-
taurant on Lake Street.
Mr. Dixon, who worked at the
restaurant most of the night, made
the discovery when he went out to
get his car to go home at 4 am.
Later he notified Chief Russell
Honeywell who in turn notified
Pennsylvania State Police who
broadcast a description over the
police teletype.
Mr. Dixon said he left his keys
in his car and parked it almost di-
rectly in front of the restaurant. Dr.
Gallagher who lives next door said
he saw the car parked there at 1.30
a.m. when he came in from a call.
Chief Honeywell said a number
of cars have been stolen in Wyo-
ming Valley during the past few
weeks and warned all owners to
lock their cars securely when park-
ing them. Mr. Dixon's was the first
car stolen here in some time but
the theft may be a prelude to
others.
Police first thought that some
late straggler might have taken the
car to get home because there is no
longer a late bus from Dallas, but
when the car did not show up after
several hours they discounted this
theory.
Sandsdale Bull
Is Show Winner
Local Holsteins
Win Eight Places
Once more Ralph Sands of Car-
verton proved the calibre of his
Sandsdale Holstein herd by taking
eight top honors in the crowded
Holstein Exhibit at Pennsylvania
State Farm Show last week in Har-
risburg.
Ralph had eleven animals on ex-
hibition, but came home with
twelve. The addition Was another
potential champion, a calf born to
one of his cows at the show.
Sandsdale Farm had the first
prize Junior Yearling Bull—Sands-
by Mr. Sands and Cory Major of
Lehman; first prize Two-Year-Old
Bull; Reserve Senior Champion and
Reserve Grand Champion.
In addition Mr. Sands also ex-
hibited the second prize Two-Year-
Old Heifer; third prize Produce of
Dam; fourth prize Bull Calf and
fifth prize Bull Calf.
Two of the herd’s winners—the
first prize Junior Yearling Bull and
the second prize two-year old heifer
—were son and daughter of Mr.
Sands outstanding cow Mollie Belle
Lyons who has been Grand Cham-
pion at Bloomsburg Fair for the
past three years — a remarkable
achievement when it is considered
that she is ten years old, an age
at which most cows have passed
their peak.
Mollie will probably be the high
producing cow in Luzerne County
this year, an achievement that will
be definitely known next month
after all records are in.
So far this year, on 334 days of
milking, Mollie has produced 23,106
pounds of milk and 891.7 pounds, of
butterfat.
Mr. Sand’'s wife and daughter,
Harriet Ann, spent three days at
the show with him.
Among local visitors at the Sands
exhibit were: Ray and Frank Prutz-
man of Huntsville; Leon VanTuyle,
Leon Emmanuel, and Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Coon of Carverton; Charles
Hemenway and Mr. and Mrs. W. L.
Conyngham of Hillside Farms.

Steal Anti-Freeze
Sneak thieves stole the anti-
freeze from a new Dodge automo-
bile parked at the rear of Richard-
son’s Garage Monday night.
George Major and John Manzoni,
graduates of Lehman-Jackson-Ross
high school in 1954, were awarded
degrees of Keystone Farmer at the
State Farm Show in Harrisburg last
week, John was given his degree in
absentia, unable to be present in
person because of the death of his
mother, Mrs. Joseph Manzoni.
Robert Norris, senior in Voca-
tional Agriculture, represented the
area embraced by Luzerne and
Lackawanna Counties as delegate to
the State Future Farmers of Ameri-
ca meetings. on Wednesday and
Thursday.
George Major, assisted by his
brother Russell, showed four ani-
mals, remaining for the entire show
week. His Holstein bull went first
in thé open class, one cow took
third place in the FFA showing, one
third in open class.
George Yurko, a junior, showed
three Guernsey heifers, one of which
placed fourth in the Vocational
class.
William Shaffer, Tunkhannock,
head of NEPA, was awarded the
Keystone Farmer degree.
Fred Schobert, Lehman-Jackson-
Ross instructor in Vocational Agri-
culture, attended the Farm Show
on Wednesday with a busload of
students. Young men showing ani-
mals spent the week in the barns,
sleeping on cots provided near their
stock.

Tuesday Evening
Seventy workers and officials con-
cerned in the current Dallas Com-
munity Ambulance Drive were
briefed on procedure at Tuesday
night’s buffet meeting at Lundy's.
The drive will wind up February 1.
The goal is enough money to run
the ambulance for the year and pro-
vide against emergencies, and
enough to start a sinking fund which
it is hoped eventually will finance
a new ambulance instead of a used
model.
Judge Ben Jones spoke on Com-
munity Service. Rev. William Mec-
Clelland gave the invocation, Rev.
Francis Kane the benediction.
Charles Nicols, accompanied by Mrs.
Oswald Griffiths, gave a number of
vocal selections and David Joseph
led group singing.
The resuscitator presented by
Junior Womans Club was unveiled,
and presented by Mrs. Edwin T.
Roth, president. Robert Laux accept-
ed it on behalf of the association.

Hammer Speaks
To Dallas PTA
Group Asks Board
To Erect Signs
Dallas Borough PTA voiced its
wish at Monday night's meeting
that the joint school board erect
signs in the Carverton area to pro-
tect school children when boarding
school buses. Kurt Schweiss, re-
porting on his discussion with the
joint school board, stated that
Shavertown and Trucksville PTA’s
wished to make the same request.
James Martin, supervising prin-
cipal, in talking with Mr. Schweiss,
called attention to the hardship
which might be done to small child-
ren who are now picked up by
drivers in front of their homes, but
would nc longer have this service
if definite stops were designated by
signs.
Dr. Eugene Hammer, head of the
Department of Education at Wilkes
College, spoke on privileges and ob-
ligations of parents in helping run
the schools. Board members, he
said, should represent the best
brains and morals of the commun-
ity. Parents should make it a
point to visit board meetings, and
should study problems arising from
such meetings. They should inaug-
urate discussion groups in the PTA
and take a lively and intelligent
interest in the school program and
in extra-curricular activities.
Dallas PTA proposes to join with
Shavertown and Trucksville PTA’s
to form a blood bank, according to
the new plan outlined by the Red
Cross Blood Center.
Third grade mothers served re-
freshments. Mrs. Atoinette Mason’s
second grade won the attendance
award.

Committee Will
Study Over-All
Police Set-Up
Representatives Of
Three Departments
Met Wednesday Night
First steps were taken Wednes-
day night at Dallas Township High
School by representatives of Leh-
man Township, Dallas Borough and
Dallas Township to bring about
closer cooperation between police
departments of the area,
Atty. Frank Townend of Dallas
Township presided. While no defin-
ite plans were formulated matters
of common interest were explored
and discussed.
There seemed to be general agree-
ment that there should be a better
system of communication between
all police departments. It was also
suggested that all local officers
might be sworn in as deputies of
all other districts in the Back
Mountain area.
“The big problem” Atty. Townend
suggested, ‘is to have police offi-
cers available on the shortest pos-
sible notice.”
Raymon Hedden of Dallas Bor-
ough and Kenneth Swan of Lehman
were named as a committee with
Atty. Townend to explore further
possibilities.
Kingston Township, Jackson
Township and Franklin Township
had no representatives at the meet-
ing.
Representing Dallas Township
were: Philip Kunkle, Fred Lamor-
eaux, supervisors, George Prater,
secretary and Atty. Townend, soli-
citor; representing Dallas Borough
were: Chief Russell Honeywell, Bur-
gess H. A. Smith and Councilmen
Hedden and Sev Newberry; repre-
senting Lehman were Chief Joseph
Ide, Alan Major, secretary and Sup-
ervisors Kenneth Swan and John
Garinger.
Lehman Firemen
Plan ‘Addition
Will Later Buy
Water Tank Truck
Lehman Volunteer Fire Company
at its meeting Monday night in-
structed its building committee to
obtain specifications, plans and pric-
es for the erection of an addition
to the fire hall to house fire truck,
ambulance and water tanker.
The largely attended meeting was
presided over by Glenn Johnson,
vice president until the arrival of
tuart Marks, president.
There was considerable discussion
of the project which it is hoped
will double the present meeting
room area of the building and af-
ford ample space for the water
tanker which will be purchased as
soon as the addition is completed.
Improving Highway
Dallas Township Supervisors have
installed a drain pipe between the
property of Garry Cupples and Park
Inn at Fernbrook to eliminate a
water condition that has made the
highway hazardous during freezing
weather.
Lake Observation
Station Proves
Itself On Job
“Well, thank goodness, some-
body’s on the job,” was the re-
sponse from Harrisburg New
Years afternoon at 3 when Mrs.
Malcolm Nelson, observer, re-
ported a jet plane flying low.
The jet plane, said the rec-
order at the filter station in
Harrisburg, was sent out pur-
posely and ordered to fly low
in order to test accuracy of
reporting from observation sta-
tions. Mrs. Nelson was man-
ning the Harveys Lake station
because it was a holiday, and
it seemed unfair to her to ask
a volunteer to give up a cele-
bration.
Mrs. Nelson, chief observer,
states that it is difficult to
round up volunteers for regular
hours, and that nobody seems
to realize the vital necessity
for maintaining the network of
observation posts which have
direct telephone lines to Har-
risburg.
Township PTA
Hears Ralston
New Cyclorama
Is On Display
Dallas - Franklin Township PTA
heard George Ralston, Dean of Men
of Wilkes College, speak on ‘People,
Our Greatest Asset,” at Monday
night's meeting. Robert Kintzer,
chairman of the March of Dimes,
showed a film starring Helen Hayes
making a tour of a polio hospital.
A clarinet sextette and a trumpet
quintet entertained.
The newly purchased cyclorama
for the stage, a recent project of the
PTA, was on display. This arrange-
ment of draperies makes it possible
to block off portions of the platform
to make a short narrow stage for
small groups, or a full sized stage
for larger groups. Purchase of three
record players for use of the school
was authorized.
Andrew Kozemchak, chairman af
the Safety Committee, informed the
PTA that enforcement of the law
that motorists should come to a
complete stop when a school bus
is loading or unloading, has struck
a snag. A technicality in the law
leaves a loophole for motorists to
evade responsibility and avoid pen-
alty in cases where the bus stops
in a limited speed zone. He strong-
ly advised the PTA to get behind
a movement to have this law cor-
rected in Harrisburg.
Semester examinations will be
conducted January 26 and 27. On
these days pupils will be dismissed
at 2:15.
Rabbi Kiwanis Speaker

The Kingston home is approxi-
mately twenty minutes drive from
the Dallas area and was established

opened by a member of the Snow-
don family. It is the second home
of Harold C. Snowdon; the other,
established twenty years ago this
month, is located at 64 North
Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre.
Annual Meeting
Reports of the year’s activities
were discussed and plans made for
the annual meeting of the ‘Associa-
tion next Thursday night at the
ineeting of Back Mountain Memorial
Library Executive Board Tuesday
night in the Library Annex.
The annual meeting Thursday
night at 8 is open to all members
of the Back Mountain community

come members of the Association.
Mrs. Trebilcox pointed out that

captains seem confident their army
of marching mothers will be com-
plete and reach nearly every home

evening, January 25, between 7 and
8 o'clock.
Residents are requested to turn
on their porch lights as a friendly
beacon to the volunteers in this
dramatic finale to the 1955 March
of Dimes.
Howard Risley, chairman of the
March of Dimes in the Back Moun-
tain, said that police will escort
captains to the Dallas Library An-
nex where funds will be tabulated.
Arrangements for police escort may
be made by contacting Chief Russell
Honeywell. Any family missed dur-
ing the March who wants to con-
tribute may bring donations di-
rectly to the Library Annex.
