POST ADOPTS NEW CLOSING TIME
FOR NEWS & ADVERTISING COPY
With a view toward a more timely and interesting
newspaper for this community and distributing it a day
earlier to newstands and distant subscribers, The Dallas
Post is adopting this week a new schedule which will be
of interest to all advertisers and contributors.
In order to meet the closely timed production
schedule, it will be necessary for all display advertising
copy for inclusion in any week’s issue to be in our hands
no later than Monday midnight of that week. There can
be no assurance that copy received after that hour can
be included and none received after midnight will be run
at contract rates.
The closing time for classified and legal advertising
will be Wednesday noon.
Editorial time for all publicity, and correspondance
news items is Monday midnight. Provision is made for
late copy to be placed in the mailbox at the Post Building
on Lehman Avenue after business hours.
Closing time for publicity pictures is Monday at
5 P.M.
Under this schedule The Post's two telephone lines
will be free all day Tuesday and until Wednesday noon
to accept front page news and tips on late breaking
stories.
This production schedule has
not been accepted
arbitrarily, but only after weeks of study to make this a
better newspaper, to meet the increasing demands of a
growing community and to accept its editorial responsi-
bility to its readers.
We will appreciate your cooperation in helping us meet
this schedule. We are aware that it will not always be
easy, but it is our hope that it will result in a newspaper
of which you can be increasingly proud.

The body of a fourteen year old
Wilkes-Barre boy was retrieved
from the icy depths of Harveys Lake
at noon on Thursday, twenty-two
hours after he had disappeared.
Skin-divers from the Back Moun-
tain and from Wilkes-Barre searsh-
ed until dark. Skin-divers from
Lehighton, Scranton, Lanceford and
Allentown, hearing the news over
radio and television, joined local
divers early Thursday morning, *div-
ing in two-man teams, circling the
area, marking their progress with
buoys, yielding their places to fresh
teams, as every foot of the sixty-
foot depth was painstakingly cov-
ered.
At noon, Dr. J. Barry Jordan and
David Lippincott, both of Wilkes-
Barre, broke the surface with their
burden.
The bedy of Donald Hall was
taken to the Stephen Glova Funeral
Home, where Mr. Glova, deputy
coroner, certified that the boy had
died by drowning. The grief-stricken

was fourteen-year old Robert Pal-

by waterlogged clothing, fifty feet
to shore after the boat in which the

Harveys Lake during the summer

who swim or boat at the Lake are
not experienced in water sports,
and have no conception of how easy
it is to drown only a few feet from
the shore.
Catches Ankle In Power
Mower, Deeply Gashed
Two days after his sixth birthday,
Douglas Whitesell, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Whitesell, caught his
left ankle. in a power lawn mower

Auction Corvair At A&P
The Library Auction Corvair was
on display at the new A&P parking
lot for the grand opening of Back
Mountain’s newest super market and
Bar, and American Legion Post.
shopping center.
Community
It was a gala occasion for the en-
tire community Tuesday morning
when the ribbon fluttered to the
ground, and customers poured into
the new A&P store at the inter-
section of Route 309 and the Lake
highway in Dallas.
At 8:30, omly a few cars were in
the newly paved parking lot. By
9 am. when the ribbon-cutting
ceremony © was staged, the huge
lot had filled as if by magic, and
late-comers had to park far down
the asphalt.
Opening of the A&P in this area
is a milestone. A number of years
ago, there was a small A&P in
Dallas, but it closed its doors when
supermarkets arrived.
Now the A&P is back again in a
big way, a salute to its 101th year
of serving the great American pub-
lic
Arrayed in pastels. and wearing
orchids, Mrs. Benjamin Edwards,
vice president of Dallas: Senior
Woman's Club, and Mrs. Henry
Otto stand side by side, specially
invited guests to represent the
home-makers and leaders of the
community. To Otto, who has prom-
oted the idea of an A&P for this
area for several years writing let-
ter after letter to the parent comp-
any, went the honor of snipping the
scarlet ribbon that admitted a horde
of people who swamped the store,
jostled wheel-baskets, got caught in
a traffic jam at the meat counter,
and finally streamed away, laden
down with groceries.
Burgess Tom Morgan (we'll be
calling him “Mayor” in September,)
holds one end of the ribbon, A. G.
Hastie, district superintendent, the
other. Behind Mrs. Otto, and hold-
left, stands store manager John |
McDermott, on the right assistant
manager F. M. McCreary. Assistant
to the general superintendent F.
Trenery. And, holding the other end
of the ribbon is district superinten-
dent A. G. Hastie.
Standing in the rear are Albert
Ruck, manager of the spic and span
meat department; Joseph Reatini,
who keeps the eggplants polished
to a purple lustre and the straw-
berries dewy; and Z. Leshinski, who
thinks in terms of butter and eggs
and cheese. His department this

ing 186 pounds, a cartwheel of flav-
or and texture.
And standing at the far left is
Arch Drylie, the announcer who
kept the kids happy out in the
parking lot, as he inquired what
they had for breakfast, how they
liked the weather, and how they'd
like to have a packet of Charms.
Inside, after the ribbon broke and
the customers mobbed the store,
was a man in a Pennsylvania Dutch
{black hat, promoting egg noodles.
Out in the Garden-Mart, Rev.
Russell Lawry, an ex-A&P man
himself hobnobbed with personnel
manager Howard Griggs, renewing
old times at Clark’s Summit when
they were both busily promoting
Sultana brand canned goods and
A&P’s special brand of coffee.
Everybody in the community was
on hand. Everywhere you looked
there was on old friend, a" member
of the Borough Council, a tax-col
lector, or a flock of high school boys
and girls.
The local constabulary was repre=
sented by Chief Russell Honeywell
of the Borough: Chief Irwin Cool-
baugh and Pete Lange of Dallas
Township, busy directing traffic and
seeing that no brash youngster ran
under a car while Mom was inside,
stocking up on fresh fish.
Looking on very inconspicuously,
‘but with a big stake in the success
of the opening, was Louis Goer-
inger, owner of the new shopping
center, accompanied by Mrs. Goer-
inger, Harry Goeringer, Louis, cous-
in, is rental agent. Many more
stores are being constructed but
there is enough parking space to
handle any cnceivable volume of
business.
| A laural wreath to James Kozem-
| chak, who, only one hour after he
took the picture of the ribbon cut-
ting ceremony, delivered to the Dal-
las Post the finished print, ready to
send to Graphic Arts for engraving.
These are some of the local
folks who will help run the store:
Garry Mauger, Randy Propos, Don-
ald McGill, Lynn Dietz, Russ Par-
sons. Joe Houlette, Floyd Root, Ray
Rondanella, and Chuck Weiss.
Judging by Tuesday morning’s
turn-out, everybody welcomes the
A&P, and everybody wishes it well.
