Oldest Business Institution In The Back Mountain MERRY CHRISTMAS THE DALLAS POST Two Easy to Remember Phone Numbers 4-5656 or 4-7676 VOL. 67, No. 52, FRIDAY, Dallas District Condemns Site Under Dispute Land To Be Posted To Stone Wall, Survey Ordered Dallas District Schools voted con- demnation of property for the con- struction of a new school, up to the stone wall, Thursday evening in éxecutive session. The plot embraces approximately seventeen acres re- cently purchased by Hume Daron from the Lipp farm. The entire acreage is 42.72, plus acreage al- ready under option by the school board for portions of the Arthur Newman and the Rice farm. Atty. Jonathan Valentine was in- structed to institute condemnation proceedings immediately. Mr. Daron met with the building site committee in advance of the board meeting called for 9:30. Var- ious proposals were made, but no basis of mutual agreement was reached. The board delivered the ultimatum for condemnation pro- ceedings, and Mr. Daron left. A survey of the site will be made by John Jeter, and notices of con- demnation posted. Frank Townend, speaking from the chair, asked for an inspection of the aerial map drawn up when the site was first discussed, and asked if some one of the other sites could not be decided upon. The site committee, chairman James Hutchison, said that the site had been unanimously approved by the board. Any change in it would of necessity mean delay while Har- risburg sent up another team to inspect the land and approve or refuse to approve. This delay might cause removal of the district from its place as 117th on the list for receipt of building appropriation from the State, and place it farther down the line. Francis Ambrose asked to be re- lieved of his position on the building site committee. Mrs. Gregory, Nearing One Hundred, Breaks Leg Mrs. Frances Gregory, lacking only two and a half months of reaching the century mark, fell from her wheel chair Thursday night and broke her good leg. The other hip was broken five years ago. She is as comfortable at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital as it is possible to make her. Bronson’s ambulance trans- ported her shortly after the fall. Mrs. Gregory is a member of Oak- dale Methodist Church. She has a keen mind and a good memory in spite of her great age. She is the oldest member of the community in that area of Hunlock Creek RD. It was Mrs. Gregory who posed for the picture, “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread” on the front page of the Dallas Post’s Thanksgiving issue. She will be 100 years old March 6, © 1958. First Rid Class Jan. 2 At Borough Building Bill Wright says his First-Aid Class will not meet the day after Christmas, but will postpone its ses- sion until January 2, the day after New Years, at 7 p.m. as usual.

Members are asked to bring band- ages, a blanket, and a large towel. Mrs. James Fenimore Falls Down 2 Flights of Stairs Mrs. James Fenimore suffered painful injuries but no broken bones early Saturday morning when she fell down two flights of stairs in her home at Kunkle. She was treated by Dr. W. R. A. Boben of Wilkes- Barre and is now resting comfort- ably at her home where she is being attended by her daughter and son- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. George Kosten- bauder. No Deliveries From Hill The Florist Christmas Day Through an oversight, the adver- tisement of Hill-the Florist in last week's issue of The Dallas Post con- tained an error. The advertisement stated “There will be deliveries Christmas morning.” This was wrong. Florists and their employees, like everyone else, will be enjoying Christmas Day with their families. There will be no deliveries from Hill's on Christmas Day. The Post regrets the error. About 50 million Americans — owners, employees and their families —depend upon small business for their livelihood.

Two chartered buses took students to New York, and girls scattered to the four winds, some of them as far off as the Virgin Islands. Students who could not get to their own foreign lands, went home with other students who live nearer at hand. College will reopen January 6. The annual Christmas program, one of the high spots of the student year, was the last of the school festivities. 1Over 500 students took part in the candlelight procession Friday night. In good weather, the pro- cession passes out of doors and around the administration building, but a drenching downpour prevent- ed. The ceremony was carried out in MacAuley Hall, to the delight of a capacity audience, which joined in the singing of Christmas music. « A string quartet directed by Ferd- inand Liva, played both at the eve- ning program and at the morning carolling, where students from elev- en language groups sang carols of many lands. The carillon bells played Veni Emmanuel for yvhe evening proces- sional. The First Noel was one of the favorite carols. The recessional was the traditional Adeste Fidelis, with the audience, taking part in the \ chorus. The annual Christmas play feat- ured members of the Jewish San- hedrin, gathered in Herod’s palace to verify reports concerning the coming of the Messiah. Taking part in “Star of Prophecy” were Suzanne Vogt as Hillel, High Priest of Israel; Marie Policare, as Azor, leader of the Zealots; Anne Marie Sundram, Elizabeth Wallace, Regina Miller, Marjorie Moll, Joan Krause, and Eleanor Repeta.

Garinger, Harveys Lake, recently was gradu- ated from the basic Army admin- TEN CENTS PER ‘Winter Fishing Is Liberalized That hardy breed of fishermen who like to get out on the winter ice for their sport were reminded by William Voigt, Jr., Executive Di- rector of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission, that some further lib- eralization has been brought about by action of the 1957 Legislature and by Commission rulings‘ under the law. A Commission statement said: “The new situation makes it pos- sible for fishermen to fish through the ice all winter for all species on which the season is not closed. This means that from the time hard ice forms until it goes out in the early spring fishermen may catch and keep whatever fish bites except trout. There is one possible excep- tion. In the event ice fishing lasts beyond - March 15, those catching bass would have to put them back, as the season for bass is closed from March 15 through June 14. “The Legislature legalized fishing with as many as five tipups, and the Commission has interpreted the law to mean that the fishermen may use as many as five legal devices of any kind, in combination, if they desire, so long as the rule against using more than two rods and lines and one handline is observed. “Previously, the rule had been that tipups might be used only in the months of December and Janu- ary for pickerel and perch. This had been confusing to both fishermen and enforcement officers, and we are happy that the General Assem- bly clarified and simplified the law. What the new situation means is that fishermen may use the tipups or rod lines or hand lines in com- bination from the time hard ice forms until it goes out. “We would like to remind the fishermen also that all lakes in State parks likewise will be open for ice fishing. On many of them, however, where the lakes are away from highways, the fishermen will have to walk in, especially at night, as the gates will be closed to ve- hicular traffic. Dr. Maurice K. Goddard, Secretary of Forests and Waters, has advised that ice fishing will not be allowed in park waters at dams, spillways, interior bridges, | Beaches or. boat docks” Seven Baskets For Christmas Lehman Grade Students Handle Distribution Seven very large Christmas bas- kets were delivered to needy famil- School District, after the assembly, Friday afternoon. Mrs. Ruth Simms, school nurse, and Miss Mary Lamoreux, a high school teacher, were in charge of the collection and distribution.

Thirty Buildings Now At Some Stage Of Construction Most of the four hundred men employed on the new State Institu- tion for Mental Delinquents in Jack- son Township will enjoy a vacation until the Tuesday after New Year. Work has continued throughout the fall but has been hampered somewhat by bad weather and the deer hunting season when many took a couple of days off. Thirty buildings are now in some phase of construction with two, the warehouse and garage, rapidly ap- proaching completion. Next to them in progress are the administration building and the guard house. Ten cell blocks are rapidly taking form and work has been started on the chapel and educational building. Gus Edwards, general superinten- dent for the John McShain Com- pany, general contractors, says that it will be another year before the great bulk of the awork is completed. But some idea of what the giant institution will mean ‘to this area’ when it is completed: can be gained by a visit now to the grounds. Hundreds of cars of steel and thousands of barrels of cement have been used up to the present. Many of the buldings are now being wired for electricity.
