He expected a big kill after a light snow, the last three days of the season. Average weight, Mr. ‘Stainbrook said, was lighter than last year, | around 200 pounds. Some of the 297 | bears shot in Pennsylvania last year were in the 400 pound bracket, some of them credited to. the N. E. area Game Commission, which bagged 96 animals. Damage from bears this year has been mainly to bees. Mangling of a heifer, laid at first to a bear, was found to be due to a large dog. Mr. IStainbrook says that hunters on the first three days of the bear season enjoyed such mild weather that they did mot move around enough to keep the bears stirred up. Hunters sat, or moved slowly, en- joying the sinshine. Bears resaingh invisible in the thickets.

Waters Like the election figures, the cen- sus figures have been issued and reissued, adjusted and corrected, | until most of us have become com- | pletely confused. However they have now. come qut with what they call “final” figures and maybe we had | better stop and read them again. As of now the seven municipal- ities Back of The Mountain show an increase of 3802 residents, an in- crease just under 26% in the last ten years. This is far from uniform. Dallas Borough with over 54% shows the highest rate of increase and almost the highest number with 912, second only to Kingston Town- ship with 968. However the rate in Kingston Township shows only 21%. Second highest rate of increase appears in Lehman Township with | Just under 35% and 598 people. | Dallas Township has more personal | , increase with 872, but the rate there | lis only 27%. Lake, ' Jackson, and Franklin | Townships all show increases be- | tween ten and twenty per cent. | While there are a lot of people making a living in this area, or seeming to do so, after all, our bread and butter in most cases is | earned elsewhere. Local gas. sta- tions sell a- lot of gas to people going | to and from work, the local banks cash pay checks issued on out of area banks, and supermarkets empty | their shelves for cash brought in | from outside. Advertisements in The DALLAS POST would not pay if | money did not come from outside to buy the wares offered. The apparent boom in population | in this area is not only made at the | expense of other communities from | which new residents have moved, | but others from county municipali- | ties have moved to greater distances leaving the county shrinking in | population year after year and cen- | sus after census since 1930. Up to that time it had grown steadily. The same daily paper that gave a 1960 figure of 346,972 for the county, | elsewhere showed 343/186 in 1910. We are now only about one per cent | up compared to fifty years ago. The | last. three census figures each showed a substantial drop from the preceeding one. There was a drop between 1870 and 1880 which was overcome then, but there is nothing to show the present dropping will not continue. In the Valley the biggest noise is being made about the loss of the anthracite industry, but in its most prosperous days it never employed enough to make up the loss. Years | ago it was the loss of the Sheldon | Axle Works and the Wales Adder Machine Co. A long list could be | made up of industries closed down and departed. Certainly there are a lot fewer farmers, but think of the enormous increase in milkmen and distributors. The lost anthra- cite has been replaced by oil and gas, all of which employ men. The Sheldon plant is occupied by sev- eral smaller outfits, not employing as many, perhaps, but nevertheless doing business every day. The King- ston Cake is better known than the Wales Adder ever was, but probably has less employes. It may | My dear Mr. Risley: | our have more. The railroad industry, in which: 1 have been employed for over forty years, is one of the hardest hit, al~ most Jpationwide. Pipelines, = sub-. sidized, internal watervitys; passen-: ger cars and trucks on publicly. built roads, and airlines operat with heavy assistance ‘from publicly® operated terminals or direct subs. sidy have together about ruined railroad industry. Of course the loss’ of anthracite is felt here locally, probably more than in any related, industry. = On the more hopeful side it might be added that some new industries are being added in this county fro time to time. formerly occupied by lace and silk mills are in use for some other purposes, and substantial new fac+ | tories are appearing here and there. Cities like Scranton, offering busi: ness firms good facilities at favor- able rates, seem fo show improver ment. One of the real troubles is that today business firms, labor unions, even unemployed, show the, | greatest interest in getting somes! thing for nothing, or the noavest possible amount thereto. And in the | long run, nobody prospers unde such a philosophy. Safety Valve sama ising, tannin sw aife ; ET APPRECIATES SUPPORT !
