Editor and Publisher—HOWARD W. RISLEY "Associate Editors—MYRA ZEISER RISLEY, MRS. T. M. B. HICKS : Advertising Manager—ROBERT F. BACHMAN ; .Photographer—JAMES KOZEMCHAK > Editorially Speaking: Are The Figures Stuck? Many of our readers have written or asked why the figures seldom change in the box on Motor Law Violations at the top of this page. “Have the numbers become stuck?” one Dallas Borough reader quipped. ; The answer is obvious. This newspaper receives no cooperation from any Back Mountain police department to keep the figures up to date. ‘Efforts on our part to obtain a record of arrests for motor law violations have met with indifference or de- liberate attempts to conceal them. Apparently police do not want the public to know how many or how few arrests they make. The same is true of ‘the minor judiciary, supervisors and other municipal ~ officials. : . They are not anxious to have the public know. This is understandable. If arrests are recorded, the public is apt to ask “what was the outcome? The outcome depends on a number of factors. How much influence did the vio- lator have? Who were his friends? Who was his father? What politician did he know? : There isn’t a police department in the Back Mountain Region that keeps a complete, easily obtainable record of arrests and convictions. The whole business is just as sloppy and just as open to influence as other law enforce- ment, and it will be no different until John Q. Public wants it different. . If the figures in the box above remain blank for July, you now know why! From Pillar To Post . . . "by Mrs. T. M. B. Hicks It was quite a vacation for the visiting young. Howie got ‘things off to a good running start by diving into the old’ swimming hole and combing his hair on a rock. An hour and a half, seven stitches, two X-Rays, and a shot of anti-tetanus later, he was ready to go home, looking like the spirit of *76, an interesting invalid who continued to draw his allowance while the other four children divided his household chores among them. One week later, the stitches removed, and the rosy glow of red hair once more adorning a pink scalp, what does Howie do but scrape off the top layer of the scab on the frame of the car door, and go back into hiding in a white turban. The bowling alley made out pretty well, and those who adver- tised kittens for free were happily surprised. , The bowling alley filled in the gaps for the older ones, and the kittens for the younger ones. - The kittens that came up from Virginia didn’t wear very well. The replacements were sturdy offspring of generations of barn cats, and though not affectionate at first, they soon learned to purr when approached with a saucer of warm milk. A week after going home to Virginia, the entire crew was back again, filing off the Greyhound scenicruiser in perfect order, each one tagged with name and address of sending and receiving parties. This time, it was the Library Auction that was the drawing card. Susie expressed it pretty well for the entire community on Sun- day morning after the two big days. Arms akimbo, a thoughtful frown on her brow, she inspected the peculiar looking floor lamp standing on the back porch. “Now what,” she ruminated, “did I buy THAT for?” Schedule For Band Play Alfred M. Camp, band director at Dallas - Franklin-Monroe Township Schools, announces the schedule for summer band practice which started July 1, and will end Aug- ust 23.

By Robert Peterson PLAN FINANCES FOR CAREFREE OLD AGE DICK ENSINGER, 42, is the tall, good-natured manager of the service station I patronize. The other night I stopped for some gas and Dick mentioned that his wife had been after him to set up a fund for re- tirement. “But I figure we won't need much money when we retire,” he said. “By then our kids will be grown and have homes of their own, our house will be paid for, and in- come taxes will be next to nothing as I won’t have to pay a tax on my social security and my pension from the oil company will be partly tax free.” ® 0% I REMINDED DICK that living costs usually decline in retirement, but not as much as is generally be- lieved. While certain costs are lower these are usually offset by new en- tries that should appear on your retirement budget—for instance an item of ample proportion for travel. This is a diversion which most men and women look forward to enjoy- ing someday and every retirement budget should include an item of at least $500 a year for trips and vacations. . Also, your medical costs will prob- ably be higher. The annual medical bill for the average person today is $65, but for people past 65 it is $102. You'll also want to include a gen- erous item in your retirement bud- get to cover new leisure-time inter- ests, e.g. boats, shuffleboard courts, do-it-yourself equipment, and gar- dening paraphernalia. You may want to remodel your home. You may want to do more entertaining. You ‘may want to make up for your modest contributions in the past and give bigger donations to your church and local charities. And you may want to give periodic gifts to your children and grandchildren — some- thing that many oldsters consider one of the more pleasurable pursuits of the later years. “You've got something there,” ad- mitted Dick after I'd delivered my sermon, “but I'm healthy and I like to work. If my wife and I don’t have enough money when we get old I won’t mind going back to work.” In my most fatherly tone I re- minded Dick that many people en- joy their work to such an extent that the thought of staying in harn- ess after 65 is downright appealing. Yet the blunt fact is that you may have little to say about it. You may encounter restrictions on your em- ployment since many firms are re- luctant to retain employees or hire new ones who are past 65. Or your health may fail and you may be forced to join those (perhaps 25% of all past 65) who are physically unable to perform regular employ- ment. %® * 0% FOLKS WHO CAREFULLY plan their retirement finances and pre- pare themselves for the years ahead tend to find old age a time of happy fulfillment. But those who fail to plan ahead generally wind up on the sidelines bemoaning. the ills of growing old and complaining about the high cost of butter. . .

Risley Dallas Post Dallas, Pennsylvania Dear Mr. Risley: One of the few bright spots in the past weeks has been the tremendous editorial support given this Depart- ment’s program by the vast major- ity of newspapers throughout the State. Rarely have I seen a clearer dem- onstration of the true meaning of “freedom of the press” which, to me, implies the integrity to support a program in which you believe, re- gardless of politics. It is indeed heartening to know that the Penn- sylvania press has such integrity | and such courage. Usually those of us in the midst of a campaign like ours are prone to assume that the newspapers un- derstand our appreciation. In this instance, I feel I want to tell you directly how very much all of us appreciate your help which was, I am sure, largely responsible for the public interest leading to the restor- ation of some of our appropriations. I hope that you will remain in our corner so long as you believe (Continued on Page 3) VV VV VU UY eV UY Huntiv & Fistin with “SQUIRREL” by EARL McCARTY This column is made up of comments of the writer and area sportsmen and from ma- terial taken frum contacts with the Pennsylvania Fish & Game Commissions. VACATION HIGHLIGHTS A Week at White Beauty View On Lake Wallenpaupack . . . When vacation time rolled around this year I decided on White Beauty View, a beautiful resort in the Pocono Mountains, located on one of Pennsylvania’s largest bodies of wat- ers, Lake Wallenpaupack. Only 60 miles from Dallas, it affords the comforts and beauty that some people go hundreds of miles to achieve. Horseback riding, swimming, out- door movies, speedboat riding, scen- ic cruiser that tours the lake, fishing, and picnicking in its large picnic area provide fun and sport for all staying at this camp. During my week's stay I did the three things Idike to do best while on vacation — fishing, loafing, and making new friends. I guess I did more loafing than anything else, and some of the fish I brought in were nothing to brag about, but I did make a wealth of good friends. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kleman and sons Butch and Chris were our neighbors. Walt owns a bakery in Allentown and spends all of his weekends with his family at the resort. They enjoy the comforts of a modern house trailer overlooking the lake. Vince and Richard Gue- cini, sons of the resort owner, have charge of the boat and motor repair shop and the launching ramp at the lake. They also sell new boats and motors, specializing in the Johnson Sea Horse. Slim Lutz, a wiry little fellow with a good sense of humor, Adolph Gelgot and John Palko, who gave us good tips on where to fish in the lake, are employees on the lakefront at White Beauty View. They pilot the speedboats and scenic cruiser, and keep the dock facilities running smoothly. “Boots” Walton was my fishing companion, and after the lakefront became quiet in the evening hours, we all enjoyed swapping stories. All these fellows, with their friendly ways, contributed in making our vacation an enjoy- able one. Some other friends I met during the week were John Christian, New- foundland, Pa., a guard at the Toby- hanna Signal Depot. He recently landed an 18 lb. carp on a 6-lb. test line while fishing on the Wallen- paupack River, and H. F. McDonnell of Scranton, a trout enthusiast, who showed me three large Brown Trout he brought to net in one of the trout streams of the area. Vv vV History of ‘Paupack’ . . . Wallenpaupack is the second larg- est artificial body of water in the State. Located in Pike and Wayne Counties, it is a storage reservoir for hydroelectric purposes, with an area of 5,670 acres. Pymatuning, in Crawford County is largest, with 16,400 acres. ‘Paupack’ has several islands that are used by picnickers and fisher- men alike, and its shores are in- dented with small coves, surrounded overall by beautiful woodland. It has a large variety of fish, the Walleye or Pike Perch being the: most predominant. Others are Lak- ers, Brown Trout, Large and Small- mouth Bass, Perch, Bluegills, Calico Bass, Rock Bass and Catfish. We were fishing for Walleyes, but they didn’t give us much cooperation. However, we did get a lot of pan- fish, and they taste better than the big ones anyway. Many camps or landings are loca- ted on this large lake, a tent camp being of special interest to fisher- men and persons desiring to rough it. There are hundreds of boats dotting its waters, from small row boats and dinghies to speedboats and beautiful cabin cruisers. Because of the rise and fall of the lake in spring and summer, most of its docks are of the floating type. It Gets Rough . . . : We were well informed before vacation time that Wallenpaupack got rough, and it didn’t take us long after we were there to find that that was an understatement. When the wind comes up it forms white caps in a hurry and can cause one some anxious moments. When this happens the coves and leeward sides of the island are the best bets for quiet water and good fishing. We had several days of windy weather, and although we got used to it, we still used caution and common sense afloat, going: either into the wind or with it. Wallenpaupack, as well as Har- veys Lake, has its troubles with “water cowboys’ and violators of the motorboat code. However, here, as on most Pennsylvania waters today, wardens are strictly enforcing the law. So You've Got Troubles . . . Recently Game Protector ‘Lewis Estep, Columbia County, received a call from a young man who said he knew where there were two young rabbits whose mother had been killed. Asked if he would like to care for the little animals until they were ald enough to fend for them- selves the man replied, “Well, Mr. Estep, we have young chickens, the cat had kittens, the old dog just had puppies. So, altogether, the rabbits would be just too much.” of ; { i DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA § Barnyard Notes AUCTION BRIEFS Mrs. Alan Kirby, Morristown, N. J., who is spending the summer at Glen Summit, was an interested auction Visitor on Friday after- noon. Mrs. Kirby, who was one of the bidders at the 1953 auction, is on a salmon fishing trip and was unable to attend. Missing from the auction scene this year were Lee and Helen Tracy of stage, television and motion pictures. The Tracys are on the west coast where Lee is preparing for a new television assign- ment. Last year they were in Australia at auction time. Claudia Shaver Guyette and her two daughters, Claudia Ann and Laura Lee came down from Suncook, New Hampshire, especially for the auction. She purchased the rare brown wash stand set given 5 by Mr. and Mrs. Ray Shiber. Ivan Simpson of Wyalusing, capable auctioneer’s assistant and known to antique fans throughout eastern Pennsylvania, came down Saturday just to help out at the auction block. In the contingent from Tunkhannock were Mr. and Mrs. Chase Herrick, Judge and Mrs. Robert Trembath, Jessie Fassett Davenport, Esther Eysenbach Pokorny, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Oski and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Titman. Mr. Titman i¥ one of the outstanding collectors of early American weathervanes and brass in the United States. Re- cently LIFE magazine obtained his permission to use pictures of many of his antiques in its early American series. Frank and Barbara Fassett Oski, Swarthmore graduates who were married in late June, purchased the last forlorn female collie puppy that found no bidders when it was placed on the auction block. The puppy was fortunate. It will have a home second to none. Although it was car-sick on the trip back to Tunkhannock, it slept in the Oski bedroom Saturday night, was thoroughly de-fleaed and wormed by a vet and now has a spanking new collar and leash. Frank is a medical student at U. of P. Murray Scureman, Princeton engineering student, purchased the foot locker which John Vavrek had with him when he was a ‘pris- oner of the Chinese in Korea. We were pleased to see Ned Dana, former star auction runner, now a Yale University graduate, at the auction on Friday. Mrs. William Alexander and Mrs. Adrian Quick of Nicholson were among the bidders for antiques on Friday. They were unable to return for the Saturday sessions because of the illness of Dr. Bill. Mrs. William Conyngham, Mrs. Lanning Harvey, Mrs. Lewis Buckman and Mrs. Bruce Payne were among those who got great pleasure out of Helen Gross’s display of hand decorated chairs. Mrs. Conyngham purchased two of them and Mrs. Payne bid in one of the chairs painted by Mrs. Dwight Fisher. Mrs. Harvey is one of the best informed persons on antiques in the valley area. Missing this year was Dr. Lewis Buckman who can usually be depended upon to buy a mongrel puppy, a case of dog food or two dozen cans of pineapple or tomato juice. He goes in for case goods. ’ Mrs. Richard Murphy, Leke Street, was a happy bidder. She made purchases just for the delight of it, planning to put many of the items in her attic for next year's auction; but two items she bought will not go to the attic — the beautiful hurricane lamps that were the show pieces of the antiques table. They were given by Mrs. Charles Brooke and were valued much higher than the bid price. They originally came from Lord & Taylor Antique Shop. The little cherry table won by Mrs. Warren Smith of Hoboken, N. J., was custom made by a Mr. Steele, New York State craftsman who makes furniture out of rare old woods over old patterns. It was given by Mrs. Jack Wilson of Sutton Road. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, here for the Ransom reunion as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Zel Garinger were fascinated by the auction and promise to come back next year. The table was ideal for them for they live on the Stevens Institute campus where Mr. Smith, a former technician at Brookhaven, Long Island, laboratories, is an engineering student. Mrs Smith is the Institute nurse. But for the ingenuity of Uncle Zel they would have been un- able to pack the little table in their small M.G. The black walnut rose carved settee and matching chairs which Mr. and Mrs. Frank Slaff purchased were originally owned by Miss Frances Dorrance’s grandparents the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dor- rance who were married in 1840. They were used by three genera- tions of the Dorrance family and were acclaimed by an antique auth- ority “as the handsomest furniture” in a home replete with fine old furniture. Mr. Slaff is one of the owners of TV Guide Betty Terwilliger, youngest of the five attractive Brotherton sisters, formerly of Forty Fort, now of Norwalk, Connectiut, was an enthusiastic bidder for antiques. Her husband was especully inter- ested in the Steuben glass. The Terwilligers were the guests of Betty's sister, Mrs. Homer Moyer, during auction week. Charlotte Monk Denmon, who gave two new Schwinn bicycles to the auction committee, bought some of the most prized antiques at the auction. She bid in four pieces of Dakota glass at just under §50. Two members of the antiques committee, Mrs. William Jeter and Mrs. Stanley Rinehimer purchased the four pieces from Jay Wilsen and gave them to the Auction committee. Myra was especially in- terested because she purchased nine goblets of the same pattern from Clay Price, Wilkes-Barre dealer, more than twenty-five years ago for $5 each. A few years later her mother purchased six more goblets on Nantucket for $10 each. Experienced antiquers who are a bit timid when browsing around a strange antique shop often put themselves at ease by asking “Do you have any Dakota glass ?”’ They don’t. It was good to see those old auction stalwarts on the ground, Harry Ohlman, Dwight Fisher and Dyke Brown. All have recently been ill. : : For two days Margaret Wood lives on the auction grounds, according to her sister, Mrs. Robert Post. This year was no exception; Margaret bought back at a very high price the little arrowback rocker which she bought at last year’s auction and gave to the antique committee this year. The Wood family has been among the most loyal supporters since the formation of Back Mountain Memorial Library. Newell was one of those who made its foundation possible. / He gave all of the ice cream to the refreshment stand last year and again this year, and through Mrs. Herman Thomas, who bid for him, purchased the silver punch bowl on the last night of the auction. George Shroyer of the Shamokin Citizens and S. M. Anderson of Cluett, Peabody & Co., (Arrow Collars) were among those from other communities who observed the operation of the auction with a view to establishing one in their own communities. The two men are eager to raise funds for their own library and will spearhead an auction in Shamokin during October. ' Shroyer, son of a former State executive, took many pictures of the auction which will be used in this week’s Citizen as promotion for Shamokin’s own auction. Mr. and Mrs. Carlton Beebe Wicart, just home from Spain, en- joyed the color of the auction on Friday night. Mr. Wicart, who is with the United States Operations Mission in Spain, obtained many fine color pictures. Mrs. Wicart is the former Helen Kulp of Wilkes- Barre and sister of Dr. John Kulp. The two pieces of Steuben glass given to the Auction by Mr. and Mrs. Raymon Hedden are distinctly an American achievement —a peerless crystal, hand-fashioned by skilled artisans at the Corning . Glass Center, Corning, N. Y. The glass derives its name from Steuben County, in which the town of Corning is located. Steuben glass is included in the outstand- ing museum collections in the United States and Europe. The first piece auctioned—a low flower bowl—went to Atty. Mitchell Jenkins and the second one—a higher, simple flower con- tainer—went to Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Postorive of Pioneer Avenue. Each Steuben design is made with the meticulous care devoted to a presentation piece, and each has an individuality that machine production can never match. The two pieces sold at the Auction were made by the same . master craftsmen who produced the famous Crown Cup presented to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, by President and Mrs. Eisen- hower on the occasion of her visit to the United States in 1954. Each piece will become more valuable as the years go by, for each is individually made and signed. One delightful characteristic of the glass is that when it is tapped with the rubber eraser of a lead pencil it will ring for a full second with the tone of a high pitched bell. . on i Cn
