Meeting Place
Urge Irvin LaBarr
To Rebuild Diner
Irvin LaBarr, Mooretown, is un-
decided whether to rebuild his diner
after the disastrous fire of last
Wednesday morning, or go out of
business. Public pressure is being
applied by men who made the diner
their headquarters while hunting or
stopped by for breakfast on their
way to early morning jobs. Game
wardens and State Police urge Mr.
LaBarr to rebuild, holding that few
diners have the homelike atmos-
phere that their favorite meeting
place did.
Mr. LaBarr says that he and his
wife are in their early seventies,
and it seems like a big undertaking
to start out again, in spite of an
assured and ready-made clientele.
They agree that if Sweet Valley and
Lehman volunteers had not arrived
ing home would have followed the
store and diner and everything
would have been a total loss. The
and the neighbors who congregated
to assist, and to bring coffee and
food for the firemen.

Bn Old Timer Visits Charley's
\
An old timer stopped in at Charley Gregory’s Barber Shop to
have his hair cut Tuesday afternoon just as the Post’s photographer
passed by. He was Paul Gordon of Easton, here for a few days to
visit his Aunts Helen and Hazel Gordon of Hays Corners. Paul is the
son of the late Cory Gordon who was associated with the Wilkes-
Barre Traction Company throughout his lifetime. Paul’s dad helped
to construct the Harveys Lake line and lived long enough to see the
trolleys come to the end of the line, for he also helped to remove the
rails. Paul, his wife, the former Alice Lott, and his mother, live next
door to his daughter, Mrs. G. R. Strahler. The grandchildren aged 4,
6 and 8, keep grandparents and greatgrandma on their toes. Mr.
Gordon is employed by Bethlehem Steel Company. For a time after
leaving Dallas in 1930, he and Mrs. Gordon lived in White Haven.
The dark handsome gentleman with the determined look is Sargo
Toni who in July will complete ten years as an associate at Gregorys.
Toni knows everybody and is liked by everybody. The photographer
couldn’t find Charley.
