MARKS Photographer—JAMES KOZEMCHAK Editorially Speaking: The Lesson of Tuesday The Dallas Post takes this opportunity to extend con- gratulations to its neighbor Harold Flack whose victory during the Democratic landslide on Tuesday was out- standing. Most of his campaigns during his long tenure of Office in Harrisburg, both as Representative from the Sixth Legislative District and Senator from the Twentieth District, Mr. Flack has played it pretty much alone. Whenever he accepted organization support, he ap- parently gave more to the organization than the organ- ization gave to him. If there is any lesson in a good man to lick another lesson sinks into the heads of his victory, it is that it takes good man. As soon as this the leaders of the Republican = Party and its State and County organizations, the sooner they can expect to put their men in office. Too long the smug slate makers have picked candi- dates because of their nationality, religion and contribu- S men. ; Alo to the party rather than because of their stature ~The first place for the Republican Party to ick up its worn out tools and start building, is with its local committeemen. They can select young men with brains whe have a deep interest in their communities and their ‘ fellow men, rather than a job on the roads, at the jail, or in the Court House. “The structure of the party cannot be built on a rotten foundation. That goes for Democrats as well as Republi- cans in Luzerne County! - We need more Flacks! stature for candidates. We need more men of real The days when the voters would accept less are dead! Credit Where It Is Due The youngsters of the Back Mountain community behaved magnificently during the Hallowe'en season! * «Police report no vandalism and have only the highest praise for the boys and girls who curbed jubilant spirits and poured their energies into making the Hallowe’ en NParade one of the best in its long history. Other youngsters, with a thought of less fortunate young people in other lands uppermost in mind, joined in the fund raising campaign for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund.) We're proud of them! +. Safety Valve . . . UNICEF RESPONSE GOOD Dear Editor: Dallas Township PTA sponsored the collection for UNICEF (United Nations = International Children’s Emergency Fund) in Dallas Town- ship. The following adults who super- vised the children most. of whom came from the Township were: Mrs. Jack Stanley, chairman; Mrs. M. M. Rumbaugh, Mrs. Phil Cheney, Mrs. Franklin Fritzinger, Mrs. William Krimmel, Mrs. William Wright Mrs. June Wright, Mrs. Jack Barnes, Mrs. Otto Schenck, Mrs. Betty Rome and Mrs. Lewis Dixon. Mrs.’ Phil Cheney was in charge 7 of refreshments which were served ‘to the girls at the Dallas Township School "building at 8:15 where they brought their money totalling $91.43. The following girls participated: Judy Wright, Josie Zachary, Karen Rome, Barbara Hopkins, Bonnie Up- dyke, Kathy Maury, Jo Carol Birn- stock, Mary Frantz, Betty June Cyphers, ‘Susan Fritzinger, Karen Fitzgerald, Gail Rumbaugh, Mar- guerite Daley, Susan Cheney, Sheryl Stanley, Laura Jacob, Andrea Krim- mel, Shirlye Johns, Elaine Dixon, Sharon Titus, Georgia McdCutcheon, Anne Mulherin, Patsy Block, Averell Evans, Jackie Churry, Randi Wright, Susan Smith, Linda Romett, Jane Layaou, Nancy Gensel, Ann Barnes, Schenk, Polly Carey, Peggy | Eva Kozemchak, David | Schenk, Ruth Schenk, Alice Reese, Cynthia Konsavage, Edwina Morgan, Paulette Kocher, Betty Rome and Pat Baumann. These girls were driven by the above adults and in most places were given a kindly reception. Due to the Hallowe'en parade it was decided to do this the night before so that any children wishing to participate would be able to do so. We appreciate their enthusiasm and wish to thank them publicly for making this a success. Some chil- dren who had received money as a trick .’n’ treat unselfishly gave it to UNICEF. We do have good young Ameri- cans growing into unselfish citizens. We are proud of them. Mrs. Jack Barnes, Publicity Chairman, Dallas Township PTA. CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE HIM To People of Dallas and Vicinity: Recently a number of employees of Natona were idled when the com- pany decided to shift part of its operation to another locality. Among these folks is a friend of mine, and I might add a friend of a great many people in this com- munity, Leslie Barstow. “Les” has given, over the past years, the big- gest percentage of his leisure time, as well as time at work, in service to residents of the Back Mountain.

When I was in Chicago the other day I had the unhappy ex- perience of seeing an older woman trip on the marble steps of a hotel and break her leg. Several of us who were comforting her as she lay awaiting the ambulance heard her sigh regretfully, over and over, “If only I'd had the good sense to hang on to the banister!” Most falls—and certainly the one described above—are caused by simple carelessness. Yet observance of elementary rules of safety would prevent most of the accidents which result in broken bones and shat- tered lives of thousands of oldsters annually. About seventy percent of all fatal falls occurs among people past 65. Even if a fall doesn’t prove fatal, it may break bones which will take much longer to mend than in the case of youngsters. Here are ‘some standard precautions to take as you grow older: 1. Keep one hand on the banister as you ascend and descend stairs. Never make an exception to this rule. 2. Get rid of small rugs in your home and stop waxing your floors. Thousands of older people have broken arms, legs, ribs, and hips as a result of skidding on small rugs or slipping on waxed floors. Fully carpeted floors—even if you have “to buy secondhand carpeting—pro- vide the safest traction. 3. Even though you feel as agile as an acrobat, don’t attempt to climb rickety ladders and hang wall- paper, paint ceilings, or replace lamp bulbs in lofty chandeliers. For every oldster who gets away with these tricks, another somewhere falls and seriously injures himself. 4. Always use a rough surface rubber mat in your bathtub, as well as outside the tub. And make sure there’s something more substantial to hang onto than the shower cur- tain when you're getting into and out of the tub. 5. Keep the heels on your shoes in good repair. Run-over heels are responsible for many serious falls. 6. Keep entrances, hallways, and stairs well-illuminated during the day, and keep a night light on at night. 7. ‘Tone down your pace. Stop galloping around corners and loping down: the stairs. 8. Become safety conscious by keeping in mind a picture of the accident which might easily happen if your are careless. PERHAPS THE BITTEREST after- tion that you could so easily have avoided the accident if only you had been a little more cgreful.

The year-old Maverick and now the new Lawman have been cutting into his and Ed Sulli- van’s Sunday-night ratings. “The only thing that bothers me,” says Steve, “is. whether, or not I have a good show. “The rating business has been carried to a ridiculous extreme. “As far as I'm concerned, the Sunday night hour between 8 and 9 represent a good example of bal- anced programming. Viewers have their choice of a western, a variety show ‘like Sullivan's and a comedy show such as ours, and I believe there are enough viewers to support each program. Next year ‘Allen will be origina- ting his television show from the West Coast. He plans to move there with his wife Jayne Meadows and their baby in July.

He has written four stories for the “Wagon Train” ser- ies. The first, “The Story,” was telecast October 22. The second, “The Doctor Willoughby Story” was presented on Wednes- day.

Phil | 1958 Ramiing Around THE OTE Heard ye of the bold McClellan, He the wether with the bell on, He the chief of all the asses, Heard ye how he took Manassas? This 1864 election song or slo- gan, passed to the writer by his father, packed a terrific wallop. McClellan was noted for a lack of boldness and Manassas, otherwise called Bull Run, was the field from which thousands of Union men had fled in wild disorder after the first battle and got nowhere in one later. The fact that McClellan was not in charge and maybe was not there on either occasion shows that, even as now, political slogans then gained more by insinuation than by stating facts. The bellwether line also had meaning. After the war the new Repub- licans were active and zealous in every campaign. Many of the men had ridden horses since boyhood. Enough of the men and horses had served in Union cavalry to be able to discipline a formation. An ample supply of pine knots which would burn for hours was available and drums, fifes, and bugles were on hand. Putting them all together they | made the torchlight parade, one of | the most effective campaign devices | ever seen up to that time. Local forces were so good that they par- ticipated in parades on the main streets in the valley as well as here. For election after election the for lack of interest. When Grover Cleveland was first elected they went wild with joy and staged big affairs to prove it. On Nov. 18, 1884 they erected a hickory pole with much fanfare and a big ox- roast. Another was erected at Lehman Center with a general cele- bration. The first election in the borough in 1879 was held under stress, not of partisanship, but of unpleasant- ness with the balance of the town- ship. The following were elected: burgess—Dwight Wolcott; council- men—dJacob Rice, Ira D. Shaver, William ‘Snyder, Theodore Ryman, Charles Henderson, Philip Raub; high constable—Parkerson Perrigo; school directors—Leonard Machell, James Garrahan, Chester White, J. B. Williamson, Barney Stroud, | Parkerson Perrigo; assessors—Wil- | liam J. Honeywell, John Ferguson; justice of the peace (appointed) Charles H. Cooke. The latter was also the first borough secretary. Some of these men continued in office most of the time for about thirty years, not always in the same i office. The big Democrat majorities were nibbled away beginning about 1840 when some prominent men joined the Whigs. After the war and par- | ticularly after the Democratic panic of 1893 the Republicans became the majority locally and have been so ever since. Outside of a flurry of interest when the women started to vote and changed nothing, local elections most of the time were fairly tran- quil affairs. In fact some of the time important offices in town went begging and those interested had to work hard to assemble a full set of candidates. And in some offices, particularly school director, some who had served refused to be candi- dates for reelection. : At long intervals, some sudden interest would stir up candidates and local politicians, and even the general run of, citizens, so that a spirited campaign would be con- ducted and frequently under such conditions upsets would be staged. One such about 1925 changed con- trol of all offices in town, bringing from one Oldtimer the sage remark that anyone could be elected to anything here, regardless, of quali- fications or lack of them, if he had enough organ ization working for him. Most interest has been shown in upset times to the jobs of school director, and in such times it has usually been the case that candi- dates were elected not because of their own merits but because of real current administration. frequently followed that the candi- dates when they took office found | that their campaign proposals were downright illegal or impossible of One of the merits or demerits of the Union School District , depending on the viewpoint of the viewer, is that there will be no elections at all until the present big school board dwindles down to size through expiration of terms. There is now no excuse for campaigning and likewise mo chance to pass the buck.

From The Issue of November 4, 1938 Pennsylvania purchases 13,000 acres at Kitchen Creek for a State park, paying $183,470. This is the same area on which the United States Government spent $14,000 for a survey several years ago with the idea of buying it for a National Forest. A great deal of the area is kept up by the North Mountain Club, which has maintained trails and parking space. The acreage is east of Red Rock on an improved highway between Huntsville and Bénton, and is located in these counties: Sullivan, Luzerne, Columbia, and Wyoming. It contains waterfalls, gorges, lake, and rushing mountain torrents. It is the most important of the recent additions to State-owned lands, with 1,000 acres of virgin timber.

Keller - We don’t know what we would do without Ed McDade, our A strong right arm in the village postal service. Every Friday morning 2 he hovers over his bundle of Dallas Posts like a mother hen. If there ; are any errors in our circulation department, Ed does his best to go correct our mistakes and see to it that his patrons and our subscribers 3 are treated right. He’s even been known to give his own Post to a - patron whose paper for some reason was missing from his bundle. i But last Friday, Ed had a real problem. One Post was stamped with two labels for two different subscribers, and there was no extra eh without a label in the bundle. Now King Solomon might have settled: kd it by tearing the Post in two—giving half to one subscriber and half Pn to the other. Ed did the job up brown; the way any businessman would like to have a job done. He pondered for a moment—then came to this a conclusion. Subscriber A is a good fellow, but he’d nevér be an ad- ; vertiser in The Post. Subscriber B is a good prospect for advertising. . 2 Needless to say Subscriber B got the treatment! We like Ed-McDade. He's one of the few businessmen working for the government! idl MY The ink had just nicely set on these writings last week when Jimmy Kozemchak’s suspicions were aroused. The lively young beagle Jim’s boy had brought home with him from a hunting trip had a bright red collar and a new license plate. # Wandering beagles in the vicinity of Huntsville Reservoir have become commonplace. But this one looked mighty like the happy wanderer described in last week’s Barnyard Notes! So Jim limbered up the Nash Rambler and drove down to 208 Cooper Street in Courtdale. Just as he pulled up in front of Francis Keefe’s house, the pup let out a joyful yelp. And when he saw Fran- cis, his wagging tail nearly flew off! Such goings on with the pup’s warm tongue licking Keefe’s chin as the master enfolded the way- ward one in his arms. ; 4 “Started out after a deer just as I was breaking him on rabbits,” said Francis laconically.

Often it is some grand old lady, = = woven out of sterner material than we use today, that teaches us the lesson. P Of such is the frugal old lady who refuses to dissipate her meagre bank account in return for a monthly government check. “I've saved that for my funeral expenses,” she says proudly. “No government is going to bury me.” And Grandma Peterson's remarks with, a doctor hovering over her after she had fallen and broken her arm, “There was no need for all thus fuss, Henry, If I'd been home, I could have just taped it up.” And my own mother who tends her flower garden on her knees. “I'm going to do it this way just as long as I can. Once you get up, » you stiffen. Then you can never get down to look after them again!” From Fe Pillar To Post... by MRS. T. M. B. HICKS, JR. Little girls are going to be warm this winter for the first time since the day when long wrinkled black ribbed stockings bowed out of the picture, and short socks strutted onto the stage. It’s those bright colored tights that are going to keep the small fry from freezing to death in the house. Something was done about freezing to death out of doors a good many years ago, when snow suits were first invented, and crept gradually from their place in the children’s wardrobe, to a spot where they kept the grown-ups warm, too. Ski suits and snow suits were frowned upon for many years in high school, but pants have become a part of the national picture now—rnot, to mention Bermuda shorts, knee length socks, and tapered velvet whatsits to wear with peasant blouses for the evening hostess. But those tights—they’re marvelous. Dance costume manufacturers first brought them ‘out, and called them danskins. Girls who took ballet adopted them for ordinary wear. And now they are everywhere, in every color under the sun, and in sizes to fit a year old baby, clear up to the model which fits the outsize gal who has given up trying to take off her poundage. g (And the sight of herself in a full-length mirror ought to take care of that situation right away, spurring her to further effort.) There are plenty of young mothers nowadays who remember starting off for school wearing two extremely small bits of lingerie under a pleated skirt and a sweater, with absolutely nothing between the top of the rolled-down socks and the upper thigh. “But Mother,” they chorused, when advised to put on a little something to foil the blizzard, “NOBODY wears stockings any more.” Coming in after school, blue with cold, and wearing a full set of goose pimples, they flew to the hot-air register in the dining room and allowed grateful warmth to billow their skirts. ; Those young mothers don’t deserve it, after the chase they led their own mothers, who had dark forebodings about pneumonia, but they have been handed on a platter a style which permits their child- ren the utmost in freedom of action plus the utmost in warmth. No longer must Susie “get right up off that cold floor, you'll catch your death.” Susie blissfully sits at her ease on the floor, immune to drafts. Her bright cherry-red tights are warm as toast. Now all we need is for some stylist to dream up a close fitting garment which snugs the body from neck to toes, and over which nothing needs to be worn but a knee length wool jumper. ‘Greatgrandpa wore it. It was red jersey long-johns, fastened with white china buttons down the front. The only drawback was i that obvious closure, and its lack of feet. F igi, Su = ‘
