CBS, NBC and ABC would all like to sign Art to a long contract. Carney in his occasional guest ap- pearances on dramatic shows has demonstrated a talent for straight acting roles and it’s this extra abil- ity coupled with his background as a comic that has put him in the “must get’ category. Jackie Gleason's future plans are undetermined, the only thing defin- itely known is that he doesn’t wish to continue a every-week program. BLONDIE — The most amazing thing about this newest TV entry is how it ever reached the TV screen in its present horrible state. It is one thing to read “B-L-O-N-D-EEE” in a newspaper comic strip but when it is screamed into your livingroom it is just too much to take. In a very long 30-minutes the show is unbelievably stupid, full of cliched lines and situations lacking in humor. . ARTHUR GODFREY was on the alert when fire broke out at his feet during the Talent Scouts telecast. He didn’t know a thing about it until someone in the studio audience shouted “fire!” Wheeling about in his chair, Arthur found the service tray was aflame. He seized the teapot, used for commercials, and emptied it on the flames. His quick action saved a possible panic, especially with a cur- tain backdrop right at his elbows that might have gone up in flames. Godfrey dismissed the whole in- cident with “Nobody can say this show isn’t hot.” JERRY LEWIS proved he doesn’t need a partner. He was funnier than ‘ever on his show last Saturday. : WARRIORS vs. PISTONS in TV basketball “Game of the Week.” (Continued on Page 7) VV VV Vv VV VV VV VV VV VY POV Bd lo lo oe ii ol od i nd This column is made up of comments of the writer and area sportsmen and from ma- terial taken from contacts with the Pennsylvania Fish & Game Commissions. How I Got The Nickname “Squirrel” . . . As a young man of sixteen, I looked forward to Fall and my first year of hunting. The time from my birthday in March until November seemed to drag like an eternity. I had coaxed my parents from the day I was twelve years old to go hunt- ing, but being handicapped with a bad leg during my youth, my folks, though sympathetic, kept putting off the inevitable with the words, “Earl, when you are sixteen you may hunt, and not before.” Fall finally arrived and with it my first squirrel hunt. My father took me to a good stand of hard- woods and hemlocks, and told me to sit quietly until he came back to eat lunch with me. He knew that still hunting for squirrels would keep me off my feet. During the years that followed, my dad and I made many squirrel hunts together and I grew to love the sport. A few of my friends, recognizing the fact that my first name Earl rhymed with “Squirrel”, and know- ing how I loved to hunt them, gave me my nickname. : So you see fellows, just because my nickname is “Squirrel”, doesn’t necessarily mean I am ‘nuts’. Floyd Harris Reports Foxes Active In Dallas Borough . . . Floyd Harris, Lehman Avenue, Dallas, reports that he came across the remains of four rabbits while running his dogs on the outskirts of Dallas Borough. He thinks it is the work of foxes. Floyd is employed as stereotyper | By “BOB” In no other country would you see it! A Presbyterian minister, a Greek Orthodox churchman and a Rabbi praying, while a negro lady, the wonderful Marian Andersen, sang the “Star Spangled Banner”, all for the purpose of inaugurating the head of a mighty nation . . . Dwight Eisenhower. Also two men, who may some day fight each other tooth and nail to gain the Republican presidential nomination, stood facing each other the one, Senator Knowland, admin- istering the oath of office to the other, Vice-president Richard Nixon. The day of the good Samaritan has not passed! These 15° below zero mornings have brought out quite a few. When I couldn’t get my car started Ted Ruff tried to push me but couldn’t get enough traction on the ice, so he went to all the trouble of putting on his chains to push me out on the highway where the road was pretty clear and he had to take his chains off again . . . that's really going to a lot of work to help someone. And another mor- ning, when I was having trouble | pushing Os Griffiths’ car, a complete stranger came along and pushed both of us. Yes, there are still a lot of good guys willing to lend a helping hand. Though many don’t approve of Ingrid Bergmann’s private ‘life, there's one thing about her you can’t dispute . . . she’s a great actress. In all the excitement and change that’s taking place because of the advent of Linear Corporation into this community, ‘let's not forget another important factor in the con- tinued progress of this area . . . Natona Mills. The fortunes and fu- tures of many of our local families are dependent upon this fine indus- trial plant and we're certainly lucky to have Natona with us. I don’t know whether the young- sters have let you know it or not, at The Dallas Post. He has two fine | Bob Dolbear, but they certainly ap- Bassett hounds, one a young male which he recently acquired. Leffler Leaves Commission For_ Federal Wildlife Post . . . On January 1, President Eisen- hower appointed Ross L. Leffler, -of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, to be Assistant Secretary of Interior, a newly created post in which he will be in charge of commercial and sport fishing and wildlife. Leffler, President of the Pennsyl- vania Game Commission for fifteen years, served as a member of that body for almost 30 years. In the steel industry he occupied numerous high administrative positions, ‘and held the title of Assistant to the Executive Vice-President of the U.S. Steel Corporation at the time of his present appointment. : The new Assistant Secretary of the Interior is known across the country for his ability and partici- pation in wildlife and other con- servation fields. Leffler is a Past President of the International Asso- ciation of Game, Fish and Conserva- tion Commissioners, and he was Chairman of the 17th American Game Conference. He helped: to organize the Pennsylvania Federa- tion of Sportsmen’s Clubs and was the organizer and President of the state's first chapter of the Izaak Walton League. In 1950 Leffler was named Pitts- burgh’s “Man of the Year” because of his untiring efforts toward the safety and welfare of the Steel City in war and peace times. He has been honored nationally for his great contributions to the Boy Scout movement in the United States and is presently a National Director. Leffler’s administrative ability and knowledge of wildlife management assure that he will fill his new position with distinction. Doe Deer Sport Antlers . . . Doe deer with antlers were shot in Pennsylvania again last season. Here are two reports on. the oddity by Game Protectors: William Getman, Juniata County: “At Thompsontown, last December 5, I inspected two doe deer with antlers. One had two seven-inch spikes. The other had one antler with four points. Both were in the velvet,” Clyde Laubach, Northumberland County: “A man from ‘Tharptown shot a doe deer with spikes 10% inches long in Union County. The spikes, in the velvet, were 4 inches wide at the base and 21% inches- wide at the top.” Broiled Venison Steak . . . For any of you hunters that still have deer meat in your freezers, here is a good way to prepare the steaks: Steaks should be cut from 1 to 1% inches thick. Wipe carefully with a damp cloth, being sure to remove any stray hair. Rub both sides of the steak with vegetable cooking oil, and place in a broiler. Turn every 30 seconds the first two minutes, then every two minutes till done. Cooking 10 minutes is enough for a rare steak: more if you wish it well done. Serve with a sauce of % cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1% tea- spoonful salt, and 1 tablespoonful fine-chopped parsley. Humor Department . . . “What sort of fellow is Smith to camp out with ?” “He’s one of those fellows who always takes down a mandolin about the time it’s up to somebody to get busy with the frying pan.” preciate those Saturday morning basketball practices you conduct. Those of us who are fathers of your fourth, fifth and sixth grade boys are prodded awake at 7 every Sat- urday morning to be sure we get our sons to practice by 8:30. On any school mornings it’s just the re- verse . . . the fathers have to do the prodding. With the many young business- men now in this area, as well as the many young salesmen, who make the Back Mountain their headquar- ters, it appears to me that it’s time we started a businessmen’s organ- ization. We should get organized, plan to meet somewhere once a week for lunch, exchange ideas and generally benefit from each other's knowledge of specific businesses. We could have round table discussions, a few brain-storming sessions, some panel programs and good speakers. All things that would be mutually bene- ficial. Let's get to know the new businessmen in our area and, as a young, forward-looking group, let's aid the progress of this area in which ‘we live and intend to raise our children. Let’s make it the kind of community our sons and daugh- ters will want to stay in when they finish school, rather than look for greener pastures in some more pro- gressive community. It will only take a few of us to get it started and, if we set some- thing up that’s workable and worth- while: you can be sure we'll get members. What do you say men, are you game? Just drop me a line or let me know if you're interested and we'll start the ball rolling. From “Sketch. Of The History Of Wyoming” printed and published in 1830 and brought into me .by Mr. Rood semetime after this date, you may find the following Indian names of interest: “HANNA OR HANNAH” . . . sig- nifies a stream of water. : “SUSQUEHANNA” . . . muddy or roiley river. “LECHAW” . . . The forks, or point of intersection. The Lehigh by the Germans. “LECHAW - HANNA” The meeting of two streams. Hence our name ‘Lackawanna’. “TOPE - HANNA” | . Alder stream, or stream having alders growing along its banks. Hence the name ‘Tobyhanna’. “TONK-HONNA” . . . Two smaller streams falling into a larger one opposite to each other. Hence the name ‘Tunkhannock’, which in the Indian language included Tunkhan- nock and Bowman's creek, with an additional term to designate one from the other. “oMAWSHAPI” . . . Cord or reed stream. Hence ‘Meshoppen’. SAFETY VALVE COMMENDS DR. MASCALI Dear Editor: For some time I have been mean- ing to write and publicly acclaim Dr. A. A. Mascali for all he has done in the Back Mountain for emergency calls. I know of times when he has had patients that he left to help save a life. These patients are also to be commended for not minding a little wait. It's a comforting feeling to know | we have such a doctor in our area. (Continued on Page 7) DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA r, § Barnyard Notes Our Washington correspondent, Bob Taylor sent this along for our amusement. Dear Editor, : : Except for item one, we can't just put our finger on what's wrong with Editor Landon Wills’ time-table — but perhaps you can. In his own column “It Says Here . . ”, in the McLEAN COUNTY NEWS, of Calhoun, Ky., he says: “After keeping careful records over a considerable period, we have found that a newspaper editor spends his day this way: “Sleeping 8 hours “Eating 2 hours “Washing, shaving 1% hour “Dressing, undressing Y¥% hour "Going to and fromewerk-........... 0 J aaa 3% hour “Non-profit conversation ............... 2 hours “Answering unnecessary phone calls . 1 hour “Looking through useless'mail .................... ~~ 1 hour “Reading useful mail 1 hour - “Family life 10 min. “Household maintenance. ............. = 0 3% hour “Attending meetings 2 hours “Day-dreaming 20 min. “Community service projeets.................... 2 hours “Working on machinery... 2 0 2 hours “The only trouble with these figures is that they leave only one hour a day for editing and managing a newspaper. Which is one reason why a lot of places like McLean County don’t have as good a ‘newspaper as the editor would like to publish. “Anyone who can figure out a better time budget will be invited to make a speech at the next convention of the Kentucky Press Asso- ciation.” One thing we are sure of is that neither McLean County nor any of the other 3,068 counties in the U. S. has “as good a newspaper as the editor would like to publish.” There has never been that good a paper yet. There probably never will be. And the fact that the day contains only 24 hours has little to do with it. It's because editors believe that no matter how good a thing is, there's gotta be a way to make it better. How else could they be editors? But, how about Mr. Wills’ time-table? How about your own? How? : Sincerely, BOB TAYLOR a A in GETTYSBURG : : A lot of folks who saw “Lee at Gettysburg” on Omnibus last Sunday night have told me they “were not too impressed with it.” I enjoyed it for what it was — a revelation of the character of Robert E. Lee, couched in poetry, with a nodding acceptance of history. : i 2 _ The cards were stacked a bit against Longstreet and Jeb Stuart, but that was poetic license. 3 : 2 ~My friend Ray Shiber summed it up best “Folks that know their history would have enjoyed it.” That was because Ray could separate fact from fantasy. 3 Eo As for myself I have always felt that Longstreet was dead right about the grand strategy of letting the Northern troops attack the weaker Southern troops holding strong positions. He was dead wrong, however, when he did not promptly follow the orders of Lee. Had he done so, the entire responsibility for the failure at Gettysburg would have been Lee's! Had it turned out to be a victory, Longstreet would have shared in the glory! As it is now, his brilliance is tarn- ished by his sullen delay at Gettysburg. : For those who want to learn more about this great battle fought on Pennsylvania soil, I would suggest seeing “The Battle of Gettys- burg” this Sunday at 2 at Luzerne Theatre. The reviews are good. Ray and I will be there. So will Lee and Longstreet, and a fellow named General George Meade. 2 ¥ é : — i — N 5 LOUD AND LONG** mew There's a new hangout in Dallas for us crackpots who like our music loud and long. It’s: the Audio-Video Shop on Memorial High- way next to Caddie LaBar's! Keith MacDonald will be glad to play host. He's got a swell selection of new long-playing records (you can buy any of them if you want, too) and he's got a dozen different makes of speakers and amplifiers to play them on. Drop by some From uh Pillar To Post... by Mrs. T. M. B. Hicks ; River is still pronounced ‘Lechaw’ Babbling brooks ere all right in their place, and a sure sign of spring, but I'll take the blurp-blurp, blurp of water coming back into the frozen pipes any day in the week in preference to the outdoor model of water in action. . Frozen pipes were what I might have expected, after being so smug about handing out advice about preventing freeze-ups during the sub-zero spell in last week’s paper. It was the unexpected cold wave, the second in the series, that did the damage. On Wednesday, the eaves dripped, the little birds tuned up, and spring was in the air. ‘Wednesday at midnight, the second cold wave howled into the area, and by Thursday morning there wasn’t a drop in the bucket. : The horrid discovery whs made just after I had stumbled down- stairs in my bare feet to answer the telephone, which was ringing in long, determined yelps at daybreak. The heck with it, I said to myself, nobody with any brains would get me out of bed at this ghastly hour of the morning, I'll turn my deaf ear. But the phone went on ringing, and it was impossible to get back to sleep. : 7 A bright voice said, “I've got the children all lined up, and now ‘you LISTEN.” ‘And with that, the strains of “Happy Birthday to You’ were on the air. ] I fumbled around in my mind. Sure enough, it was January 1, and though birthday greetings had been firmly declined in advance, here they were, and in such an irresistable package that it was im- possible to do anything about it except to thank the small choristers ‘one by one, as they came happily on the wire. It developed that they had all been sledding in Dead Man's Hollow, or Dead Man's Gulch, or something equally blood-curdling. J At this time in the morning?” I inquired. The answer to this was a polite form of raspberry. No, they said, they’d been out of school for three days because of the three inches of snow, but it hadn’t been too deep for sledding. Down in Virginia, three inches of snow stops the school buses and prevents the children from attending classes, but it does not prevent them from swarming all over the place, with sleds and skis. A pleasant time was had by all, and the snow days allowed for on the school calendar are all used up for the year. If there is any more ‘snow, the Easter vacation will suffer. 2 By the time we had polished off Dead Man’s Gulch, my feet were frozen, and I dashed back upstairs to draw a hot bath. : Hot bath, did I say? : For the next six days the hot bath was taken in a quart basin. I pretended it was a prevue of a bombing. “This is the way,” I said to myself as I poured the water from the bath into the spot . where it would be of the greatest value,” that it would be if a bomb disrupted the electric service. And aren’t we just lucky that it is nothing but a frozen pipe instead of something a whole lot worse!” Period and paragraph. : By the end of the sixth day, with midnight approaching, two days of January thaw already gone down in history, and the pipes still frozen, it was difficult to pretend to any great good luck. e “Doggone it,” I scolded myself, “next time I'll take my own good advice and let it trickle, no matter how mild it looks outdoors.” And just then there was the most colossal upheaval in the bath- room, rusty water shooting up out of the works, and then settling down to steady business. Herb’s pump started purring next door, the pipes quieted down, and the drought was over. The bucket brigade took a long breath and settled down to reading the last two pages of the latest whodunit. Water, marvelous stuff. 3 a ne ® 8. Crm
