Did yom know that the Back Mountain Memorial Library actively aids the area’s educational sytem by lending thousand of books year- ly to the schools of the Back Moun- _ tain region? Were you aware that it sponsors a Book Club which makes available the latest, most widely-discussed works and pro- vides timely lectures, slides, and book reviews at its monthly meet- ings? © While all who attend the Dallas Auction today and tomorrow will know that it is being. held for the benefit of the Library, someimay not fully realize the magnitude and variety of the organization’s service to .the community and how much help it needs to perform its growing *, ‘A visit to the library, which is in the former John J. Ryman home on Main Street, Dallas, will reveal how greatly it has progressed since its origin in 1945. It was only fourteen years ago that a group of public-spirited Back Mountain resi- dents, visualizing the value of a library to the community, formed the Library Association and cam-. paigned for funds. Acquiring the Ryman ‘home some years after Mrs. Ryman’s death, they succeeded in establishing the library a year later. Its* beginnings were necessarily quite small, but three thousand do- nated books and two thousand works lent by the State were on the shelves by October, 1945. Soon the idea of a community auction came into being. This. was to be a cooperative project of resi- dents of the region, with the pro- ceeds to go to the Association to ‘help defray the expenses of running the. growing library and purchasing new books. Three thousand dollars were raised by the first auction, which took place in 1947, and the yearly project has continued to be a great success, thanks to the whole- hearted cooperation of the Back Mountain residents and the fun they have discovered they can have just by working together. Each year the library has grown, and its accession book, which lists all the books the library owns in the order in which they were ac- quired, now contains more than forty-two thousand entries. However, the library must expand if it is to serve the needs of the developing Back Mountain region. Miss Miriam Lathrop, who has been librarian since 1945, expresses great satisfaction at its growth but also states, “Much more room is need- ed. My greatest hope is that some- day funds will be available to con- nect the annex, which contains meeting rooms and storage areas. with fhe main part of the library.” Because of the success of the auctions of the past, the Back Mountain Memorial Library has made rapid progress. Today ite shelves offer cultural, educational, and entertaining works to every resident of the area. There are books to kindle the imagination of youth and works to transport the reader to distant lands or to help him form an intelligent opinion ~ about the problems facing our coun- try today. When Longfellow wrote of “the love of learning, the seques- tered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books,” he might almost have been speaking of the atmos- phere of the Back Mountain Me- morial Library as it has been in the past and with all the community hopes and plans for ¥ to be in the future, a ln ER | Safety Valve DOLLS FOR GOOD CAUSES To parents and friends of Library Auction: There will be a new booth at the Auction - this year for the children. Mrs. Newman's community doll program started in 1945 for, by and with the children of Dallas Town- ship and alumni parents. The first doll dressed by Mrs. . Newman was a 35 year old’ German bisque doll won by Grace Cave's sister. It brought $300 to the fund for Dallas Township Memorial Athletic Field honoring nine Dallas Township school athletes who gave their lives in World War II. For the record, may I say at this point and to settle any doubts that no matter what school jointure or program may take place in the’ future, as long as the Dallas Town- ship school stands the name of the field will be the Dallas Township School Memorial Field. There, should be no addition or change. The money raised to keep ath- letics in our school and to create a field where we could collect tickets and support this program was made by the fairs organized by me for this purpose by the alumni, men, women and children of Dallas Town- ship. This program has been successful through the years because of the civic support of Herman Weisler of | Natona Mills and Felix Weber of Fern Brook Mill. These men had faith in what we were doing for the children and backed it up with products from their mills which ‘made thousands of children happy. I will not be at Auction in person this year due to eleven months of doctor’s care. I am asking young women of sales and decorating ability to give Midge Smith a lift with the booth. A helping hand, a good display, and a good talker can do a good job anywhere, so will you please do this for the kids. I hope they will be as happy buy- ing as I have been making and dressing the dolls. My best wishes to all es workers and a prayer for good weather. ~—Mrs. A.

The authority considered proposals offered by sportsmen, farmers, Game Protec- tors and others and, mindful of its responsibility in the matter of wild- life management, was as liberal as possible in view of the anticipated populations of game and fur animals during the 1958 and 1959 seasons. “The seasons ‘and bag limits de- clared were much in the pattern of those “in = effect’ during the 1957 license period. However, there were these ‘departures or items of parti- cular note: "1. There will be a three-day ant- erless deer season this fall. ‘2. Bow and arrow hunters will three weeks’ duration. 8.

Rood is com- pleting fifty-five years residence in Dallas. When he arrived in town as a young man, if my recollection is correct, he came equipped with one wife, one baby. a nondescript team of horses, some household effects, and numerous dogs. The only item open to question in my mind is the one baby. Maybe I should have said more or less. He moved in on Lake Street where Dr. Gallagher now lives for a short period, maybe a year or so, then to the house now owned by the Ernest Wood family adjoining the residence of Ralph Eipper. Along about fifty years ago he built his present home. He came to Dallas as teacher and principal at Dallas High School, be- ing the entire faculty assigned to high school subjects if my memory is correct. He had previously taught in rural schools a few years after his graduation from East Strouds- burg State Normal School,- now College. He was a natural teacher and as far as I know was well re- ceived in that work, but teachers then were not as well paid as cer- tain other workers for the Yespon= sibility involved. po When the old First National Bank was opened on Church Street he was one of the first employed. The Bank force then included George R. Wright, president; Frank Leaven- worth, cashier; and Ralph Rood, bookkeeper and teller. The cashier also acted as teller. He continued in the bank many years eventually succeeding Mr. Leavenworth as cashier. When the great surge of new banks and reorganizations took place in the boom days of the 1920's he transferred in a three-way shift to Dime Bank at Wilkes-Barre. The same shift brought William B. Jeter, previously employed here as a teller, back as cashier. The Dime Bank was one of those closed during the depression al- though the eventual settlement of its business proved it was not especially unsound. In any event ! Mr. Rood was out of a job for about | the first time in his entire life and | remained that way for perhaps a couple of years. When Dallas High School was re- { organized with classes and addition- al teachers being required, the school board was hard pressed to locate teachers having certification ‘ to teach all the numerous subjects. Mr. Rood had papers for several and he was employed as a kind of “fill-in, later: assigned to sixth grade “where he continued many years. | As a teacher Mr. Rood was old- fashioned in his methods and in some of the subject matter he taught, but he was thorough. He could reel off the counties in the | state in alphabetical order with the ! county seats; the states of the union ‘and their capitals; the names of the presidents and vice presidents; and plenty of other similar items. Hav- ; ing been reared when spelling bees were popular he was particularly ‘adept with odd words. He could | probably go before a class of teach- ers of English today and in a spell- ing lesson flunk the whole class; On December 7, 1941 the country was shocked when Pearl Harbor was bombed. But about twenty-five eighth graders in Dallas schools were not surprised. They had been told by Mr. Rood in sixth grade that he fully expected war with Japan within two years. However, he will be best remem- bered in Dallas for activities not in- volved in banking and teaching. He walked right into a vacancy as sup- erintendent of Sunday School at the Methodist Church. He took the job and held it for twenty years, a thou- sand Sundays as he expressed it. He played cornet or trumpet ‘in many affairs. He sang in and led the Methodist choir for years, serv- ing meanwhile as a church official in other positions. | He was elected school director and served also as secretary for a long period. He was secretary of the school board when the old build- ing was enlarged and remodeled in 1916 and was still secretary when the new building was started in 1928. Hardly any movement was started in Dallas for a generation in which he was not active. When a meeting was held to start something and officers were looked for, some- one would ask, “Where's Ralph Born and reared on a farm he retains skills, likes, and dislikes of his early days. For many years, even after he had discontinued keeping horses and a cow or two, he cultivated a large garden. He liked to hunt and owned a small arsenal of suitable weapons which he knew how to handle and use. He belonged to gun and hunting clubs for years. Mrs. Rood who kept the home fires burning on many lonely nights while he was engaged in public affairs is still with him. Their oldest son Ralph Harold, commonly called Harold, is a career officer in the army and seldom here. Harold's wife, the former Arline’ Beisel of Dallas, lives with the Roods. Their second son Graydon was instantly killed in a motorcycle accident at Dallas fairgrounds many years ago. The daughter Lillian, - now - Mrs. Wesley Oliver, has not resided here since her marriage. : z Cur congratulations to Ralph Rood, a good citizen, on -his $ist leaflet issued with each licence, birthday anniversagy ONLY YESTERDAY Ten and Twenty Years Ago In The Dallas Post From the Issue of July 9, 1948 Lehman’s Fourth Horse Show passes into history as a marked suc- cess, in spite of sporadic showers.
