For my part, I promise my complete dedication to the program, regard- less of obstacles. Sincerely yours, HARRY SHAPIRO Secretary of Welfare Harrisburg, Pennsylvania MEMORIES Publisher of Post Dallas, Pa. Herewith please find my check for a six months subscription for your publication. I formerly resided in Trucksville, Pa, for a few years and enjoyed the locality and still have many friends in the area. But, I knew the Back Mountain country well having been Railway Postal clerk on the Bowman’s Creek Branch of the L.V.R.R. running to Noxen, Ricketts and Towanda, this, about 1897. I seldom see that area now and presume there are many changes and few of the people of that day left. ’ My first visit to Dallas was in 1879 when I was with the funeral party and buried my “Buddy” Charles Hockenberry in the old Wardan Cemetery, Dallas, near a church.

When you buy a new car, put your money on tomorrow—not yesterday. Swept-Wing Dodge actually obsoletes other cars in its field. Should you invest in high, boxy styling when Dodge offers the low, low look of tomorrow? Should you invest in outmoded coil springs when Dodge offers new Torsion-Aire Ride? Should you invest in an old-fashioned lever-type transmission when Dodge offers the ease of Push-Button Driving? In other things, too—engines, brakes, interiors—Dodge is years ahead.
