BACHMAN Editors—MYRA ZEISER RISLEY, MRS. T. M. B. HICKS Advertising—LOUISE C. MARKS Photographer—JAMES KOZEMCHAK Editorially Speaking: ROBERT E. LEE The month of January is a month packed with mem- orable historical dates, birthday anniversaries, holidays, ete. The birthday anniversary which probably stands out more than most is that of Robert E. Lee. General Lee was born on January 19th, 1807. As most Americans know by now, he was the great Confeder- ate general who led the Army of Northern Virginia for so . many years in the War Between the States in 1861-65. What some people do-not know is that General Lee freed his slaves before the war erupted and that he was offered command of the Union army, but declined on the principle that he could not take up a sword against his native state. In those days just as many constitutional lawyers believed that the states had first call upon the services of its citizens, in such a crisis, as there were those who believed that the Washington government had prior- ity for one’s allegiance in such a crisis. Lee did everything he could to avoid the war, but when called, he was loyal to his native state. Winston Churchill, in an impartial evaluation of importance, has heaped praise upon his shoulders in his latest series of books, “A History of the English Speaking People.” Lee’s military campaigns are classics, which are, and have been, studied hy officer candidates the world over. But his greatness lay in his gentle nature, his kindness and his love of country—which was so obviously demon- strated, after the Confederacy lost the war, and when he settled down to teach a college and urged all Southerners to rally around the flag and once again become loyal citi- zens of the Washington government. Every American has the right to feel pride in the life of service and accomplishment rendered by Robert E. Lee. He is accepted by most observers as the greatest military leader to cross the scene of American history, for he was usually outnumbered in his battles and nevertheless won most of them, including most of them he fought against General U. S. Grant, his final conqueror. A study of his life would benefit any American, whomever and wherever he may be. SAFETY VALVE PERFECT DAY . Dear Editor: After reading “Thoughts on a Winter’s Night” in Barnyard Notes two weeks ago, I thought you might | be interested in the following poem recently sent into Bennett Cerf’s syndicated column: “Grandmother, on a winter's day, milked the cows, slopped the hogs, saddled the mule, and got the chil- dren off to school; did a washing, mopped the floors, washed the win- a dish of home made fruit, pressed her husband’s Sunday suit, swept the parlor, made the bed, baked a dozen loaves of bread; split some firewood and lugged it in, enough lamps and put in oil, stewed some apples she thought would spoil; churned the butter, baked a cale, then exclaimed “For goodness sake, the calves have got out of the pen” and went out and chased them in again; gathered the eggs and locked the stable, back to the house and set the table; cooked a supper that was delicious, and afterwards cat and sprinkled the clothes, mend- ed a basketful of hose; then opened the organ and began to play, “When You Come to the End of a Perfect Day.” Harry Post, Trucksville, Pa.

Girvin Public Relations COMMENDS EDITORIAL January 16, 1959. Dear Editor: May I commend your editorial this morning regarding the school buildings in Dallas Borough, espe- cially the old two-story one. The real trouble has not been mentioned in recent years. When the new building had been started, and the first section only built, the severe depression struck the coun- try causing a heavy falling off in property and per capita tax re- ceipts. To keep the schools in oper- ation with additional teachers added and more pupils every year, as well as paying interest on about $60,000, mostly at 5% with some at 6%, the school board then in office had to cut out almost all expenses not directly instructional. One of the first things cut down was fire insurance. Dallas had a surplus of insurance agents and many from the Valley were here all the time trying to drum up business. They, cried loud- ly that the board had insufficient “protection” on the buildings. Although fire insurance will pro- tect the bank account in the event of a fire, no amount however great will make any difference whatever in the matter of safey to school pupils or fire prevention.

Kenneffs re- tired to this storybook isle of coral reefs and pink oleanders. In their opinion this is about as close to paradise as a retiree is going to come in this world. “We spent a vacation here ten years ago,” said Kenneff, 71, when I stopped to talk with him and his wife at their pale pink cottage over- looking a blue bay with flecks of sunlight in its ruffles. ‘“We were so bowled over by the beauty of the place that we came down the follow- ing year and applied for permission to buy property and retire here. “I don’t know why mainlanders don’t do the same thing,” continued Kenneff, who was formerly in the advertising business in New York. “Maybe it’s the island’s reputation as a millionaire’s playground. It’s true that most of the Americans, Canadians, and British who live here are extremely well-heeled. But if you own your own home and car, you can get by comfortably on three or four hundred dollars a month. “The immigration procedure prob- ably scares some people away,” he said. “If you want to buy property and settle here, you've got to file submit references, and generally convince them you'd be an asset. They're anxious to maintain a sort of stately character on the island and aren't keen on people who might prove loud or flashy or unable to pay their way. “We waited a year after applying and by. the time I was ready to retire we learned we'd been approv- ed. As soon as my retirement fin- ances were in order we moved here and bought this two-bedroom cot- tage for twenty thousand. “It costs slightly more to live in Bermuda than in the states,” said Mrs. Kenneff, “since just about everything is imported. But dom- estic help is reasonable and we're treating ourselves to the luxury of a full-time maid who costs us twenty dollars a week. “We keep busy working around the place, playing golf, going to con- certs and lectures, and socializing at our club. Much of the social life revolves around the clubs, and once you're in you have plenty of con- tacts with others. One of the things I like about Bermuda,” she added, “is the absence of eyesores, such as billboards, used car lots, and slums, and poisonous things such as snakes, spiders, and ivy. “We shopped around a good bit ! before deciding on Bermuda for re- tirement,” she concluded, “and after seven years we're convinced we made the right choice.” SOME WHO RETIRE will prefer to stay in the old home town, but others—such as the Kenneffs—will find their greatest satisfaction in pulling up roots and making a new ‘start in a new and completely differ- ent locality. 5 & # “ If you would like a free list of “Fifty Ways of Getting More Fun Out of Retirement,” write to this column c/o The Dallas Post, enclos- ing a stamped, self-addressed en- velope. ?

However, this put no commission into the pockets of the insurance agents, hence the continued outcry about lack of (insurance) protection.

" For Engraved and Printed Wedding Invitations Try The Post Rambling Around THE OLDTIMER Apparently the ancestor of all the early Honeywell families in this area was John Honeywell of New Jersey. Three of his grown sons, themselves having families at the time, came to this area within a few years. First to arrive was John whose name was also spelled Honuwell. Early head stones in old Rice Cem etery on Huntsville Street show Hunnewell, Huneywell, Hunneywell for various members of the family. John was on the ground on lot 4 of certified Bedford in time to prove ownership and receive a patent when they were issued in 1812 or 1813. He jowned over three hun- dred acres with a frontage on Cen- ter Hill from the Legion Home to the Jeter place and extending south- eastward to the Kingston Township line beyond Overbrook Avenue. This included farms recently owned by Machell, Parrish, Wallo, and real estate plots by Hedden, Rose Realty and Freedman and Dattner. No list of his descendants is avail- able to the writer. He personally lived on the farm, in my time occu- pied by John Welch and Joseph Wallo, on Huntsville Street. In 1845 John Rainow moved there. The next brother to arrive with William (1761-1844) whose trip was described in a recent column in a narrative told by his son Abraham. William had four boys and four girls. The girls were: Grace, un- married; Hannah married Andrew Puterbach; Catherine married Chris- topher Shaver; and Elizabeth called Betsy, married to Eleazer Swetland. The sons were Thomas, Abraham, Jacob and Joseph, all of whom were old enough to be shown as taxpay- ers when Dallas Township was first assessed as such in 1818. Third brother to come in was Richard (1765-1830) who also had eight children, William, Charles, Samuel, Isaac, Nathaniel Richard, Jr., Esther who married Edward McCarty, and Catherine who mar- ried Elijah Ayres. Only William was a taxpayer in 1818, but the others were a few years later. William Honeywell owned the fairground farm, and probably, the Newman and other lands also, mak- ing a large tract. The Dallas Borough Honeywell family is descended from William's son Abraham S., born in New Jer- sey in 1792. In one of the first if not the very first marriages in the township he was married to Lydia Hawk by Squire Bogardus who lived near the present Lehman. A wit- ness states that the couple came on horseback followed by most of the young fellows had a jolly time and returned happy. owned the first cast iron plow in Dallas and was a farmer but also hauled shingles to Easton and re- turned with goods and supplies. He was a constable for about twenty years. One of his sons, Samuel, was a farmer in the Carverton area. Samuel’s daughter was the wife of B. W. Brickel. Abraham’s son, William Jefferson Honeywell, commonly called Jeff or Squire Honeywell, was born in Dal- las Township in 1824. His wife was Sarah Perry. He lived on the fair- ground farm by that time reduced to seventy-five acres. Later in life he moved to Dallas Borough and lived in the present Library Annex. He was justice of the peace a total of about fifteen years. The writer knew him quite well as an old man. He was a devout member of the church where he taught in Sunday School for a long time. William J. Honeywell's family in- cluded Hiram who lived at Parsons; Mary: who married Josiah Milton Rood and lived on Main Street ad- joining the Misson home; Lydia who died in infancy; and Clinton DeWitt. The latter was a butcher, later went into business with Albert Hay and sold farm machinery, and finally had a political job when Hay was elected county commissioner. His wife was Mary Ferguson, daughter of John Ferguson. The Clinton Honeywell's lived in the white house at the corner of Main and Mill Streets which was included in the Sullivan building. [Clinton Honeywell's children in- cluded Eugene who was employed on the street cars; Carrie who mar- ried Dr. Ruffner; and Laing who was reared in Dallas but has not lived here for many years. He was last reported in = the vicinity of Stroudsburg. The Township Honeywells who lived near the present Country Club were related to William J. Honey- well, probably not closer than cous- ins, possibly more distantly related. Jack Honeywell of Church Street is a son of Delbert P. Honeywell who died about twenty years ago. His brother Donald died many years ago. Their mother died a few years ago. : Mrs. Nellie Honeywell Hislop and the late Russell and Fred Honey- well were children of Conrad M. Honeywell, popularly called Coon Honeywell, one of the most colorful characters in the area for a gen- eration. The present Russell Honey- well, Chief of Police for about twelve years, is a son of Fred Honeywell. There are no descendants of Wil- liam ~ J. Honeywell known to the writer as being now in residence here.

Why then do so many assume that the way to national prosperity is to spend ? : A Sic § Barnyard Notes BETTER TO LIGHT A CANDLE . . .. Are you acquainted with the Christophers, the movement started by Rev. Father Jemes Keller, M.M., a Roman Catholic priest? The purpose of the Christophers, according to Father Keller, is summed up in the one word “Christopher” from the Greek meaning “Christ-bearer.” “Our aim”, he says, “is to encourage each individual to show a personal and practical responsibility in restoring the love and truth of Christ to the market place, especially in government, education, labor relations, literature and entertainment. action is essential. Little .is accomplished by complaining and criti- cizing.” “Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness” is the Christopher motto. 4 - Positive construction “Although having no organization, no meetings and no dues the i Christopher movement reaches 10 million individuals through Christo- pher programs broadcast 52 weeks a year on 1463 radio and tele- vision stations and through News Notes sent monthly to more than one million persons.” . x This movement has an appeal for persons of all faiths and has had a profound effect upon the thinking of a great many people who have been prone to say: “What's the use, I'm only one.” The January issue of News Notes which is always a welcome visitor to our desk contains the following considerations which may be reminders to our readers of the “importance of you.” 1. Why you are important—You, as a distinct human being, have been created in God's image. All of humanity is nothing more than you over and over again. 2. No substitute for you—God has assigned to you a special mission ir life which He has given to no one else. No matter how small it may seem to you or others,it is important in His sight. 3. Don’t cheat others—The Lord sends blessings to scme people through you. If you fail to pass them on, you deprive others of what is rightfully theirs. 4. You-are needed—If everyone figured “I don’t count,” imagine what disastrous consequences could result. 5. Spiritualize your least efforts—Begin to be a Christopher or Christbearer by serving others in small ways. Remember Christ said that if you do no more than give a “cup of cold water” for His sake (Matt. 10:42), you shall gain an everlasting reward. 6. Start in your home—If you develop a sense of personal re- sponsibility in your own home, school, business and every other place, you will soon wish to reach out to wider horizons. 3 7. Don’t bury your talent—Even if God has given you only one talent, put it to work for the good of others. Don’t be like the man in the Gospel who said: *And being afraid I went and hid the talent in the earth.” (Matt. 25:25) 8. For better or worse—What you do—by prayer, word and deed—to see that God's will is done ‘“on earth as it is in heaven” affects the well-being of everyone to some degree. Yes, the world itself can be a little better because you have been in it. 9. You count as one—When tempted to play down your own individual importance, recall this old saying: “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do. And what I ought to do, by the grace of God, I will do.” : most’ people it’s routine to From Pillar To Post . . Shep has bagen pining away since th® death of His inseparable companion, the late Vincent Henson. Monday morning, almost three months after Mr. Henson’s death, the black and white collie slipped his leash and went in search. He trotted hopefully along the open stretches of Main Street overlooking Toby’s Creek, where in summer sunshine he had paced slowly beside his master, waiting patiently while Mr. Henson caught his breath, wagging his tail as the slow walk was resumed, curbing his puppy instincts to frolic. Nak Snow started to fall. Shep, unaccustomed to being abroad with- out supervision, circled about, lifting his nose for a familiar scent. The snow came down faster, and Shep circled more widely. Mrs. Henson, and her daughter, Mrs. Alvah Jones, drove about Dallas and out into the country. They called the Dallas Post. Tele- phoned inquiry revealed that Shep had been seen going steadily about his search in a number of places. ; Mrs. Henson and Mrs. Jones spent a sleepless night. Shep’s win- ter coat was not as heavy as usual, because he had not been eating well since October 27, when Mr. Henson died. Would he be warm enough? Would he find some welcoming barn? Would some com- passionate woman feed a lost dog? i : On Tuesday morning Mrs. Jones called the Dallas Post again. The only place she could think of to look now was the Huntsville Cemetery where Mr. Henson was buried. But this would be stretching incredulity too far. The dog had never been to the cemetery. | At 12:20 she called Station WILK and asked that the loss of Shep be put on the air. Ten minutes later she had a call from Sherman Sutton, an em ployee of George Bulford. Sutton said, “There’s a big black and white collie in Huntsville Cemetery. No wait, he’s just left the cemetery with John Fielding’s dog. He's heading for the bee-hives in the orchard.” Five minutes later, Mrs. Henson and Mrs. Jones were ploughing through the brambles toward the orchard and an overjoyed. Shep. The snow was deep, but the two women felt they must find out. The car turned in at the cemetery drive. : Mr. Henson's grave had been swept clear of snow by frantic paws. ONLY A DOG “He’s only a dog,” I heard them say As there on the cold, wet ground he lay, And they drove away and left him there 5 By the side of the road, in the sun’s bright glare. And my heart with pain and remorse was filled, 5 For this was my dearest pet they had killed. Of course they were thoughtless and never knew The countless tricks I had taught him to do: He would ‘sneeze, roll over, and sit up and beg, And then “play dead” without moving a leg. And now he is dead for sure, and I oN Must be excused while I have my cry. The folks at home will be missing him, too, For the habits of each he very well knew. My daddy felt sure he liked him most, For he always fed him the crust of his toast; And Mother tried his affections to steal err When she slipped him his pan at the evening meal. But while, with his big heart, he liked all the rest, I knew it was I whom he really loved best. My age is fourteen, and his was just ten, And so you can see just how long it has been Since my daddy came home and, out of the blue, He said, “Here, little girl, is a cocker for you.” We knew we'd be pals . . . though I don’t know just how, a And my joy was as great as my sorrow is now. But, he’s gone! and the world will have to go on, And I know, as I awaken and face each new dawn, T'll be listening with hope for his warm, friendly bark That echoed so often from morn’ until dark. So I'll say goodbye . . . and I'll try to forget, Though I live to be old I shall always regret That my pet, that was faithful and such a good friend, Should come to this shocking and untimely end / ) GeorGE Z.
