Four million dollars is a lot of money!
But when
one walks about and through the new Valley Crest Home
out on East End Boulevard one feels that here is money
well invested in the care and rehabilitation of people who
need it.
On this 80 acre tract is now constructed what
Dr. Maurice E. Linden M.D. of the Department of Public
Health and Community Services of Philadelphia called
Sunday “The leading institution of its kind in the nation’.
Thousands of visitors thronged the grounds and build-
ing to attend the dedication ceremonies of Valley Crest
Home. It was a perfect day with blue skies all around
making it possible to hold the entire program out of doors.
This reporter found himself in the midst of a jam of people
waiting for the ribbon cutting in order to go on a guided
tour through the corridors and facilities of this ultra
» modern work of architectural art and convenience.

Magnificent New Home For Aged Means Little If Residents Are Forgotten
There may have been many more from the Back
Mountain communities but I saw Rev. Robert Yost of °
Shavertown Methodist Church in the crowd. And close by
were Rev. and Mrs. Russell Lawry of Dallas. In my opin-
ion these two brethren never saw such a crowd even
on Easter Sunday. Russ Lawry remarked, “I'm going to
pick me out a room here!” The rooms as we saw them
would be luxury accommodations for anyone.
It is easy for me to pass over the magnificent ap-
pointments in every department. It looked as if every-
thing conceivable has been thought of to care medically
and physically for the 300 patients which the building
will accommodate. It is all important and to the great
credit of the county commissioners who with vision
planned and brought to fruition the whole plant. All of
this, however, is just a waste of money apart from the
dedicated plans for the type of personnel who will be
selected to implement the high ideals of the institutional
district and the Director Dr. Alfred C. Craft. The brochures
and the valley newspapers have described the equipment
and building in detail. It is well to quote here from the
brochure the ideals of Dr. Kraft, for they constitute what
to this writer are outstanding and so full of dreams that
one can devoutly hope and pray that they may be carried
out on behalf of those who will be the residents of this
home.
He says: “Valley Crest is a medically oriented build-
ing, operated as an important part of the medical and
social services of Luzerne County. Its role will be to pro-
vide a comprehensive array of services in the attack
against long term illness. This requires care for the
seriously ill, a dynamic convalescent and rehabilitation
program for those who have a potential for recovery, ang
a variety of supporting services for those who are destine
' to remain for long periods.”
Another paragraph in the brochure needs repeating:
THE DALLAS POST
“The prime challenge facing
a building of this kind is to
instill new life in the hearts of aging bodies, and to change
the despair and apathy of old people who are sick and
poor into a new desire to live healthy lives again, and to
return to their homes. To
deal of attention has been
meet this challenge a great
given to those things that
nourish people’s souls as well as their bodies.”
A comment from this reporter who for six years has
- had contact with aged and ai
ling people may not be amiss.
I would urge people of Luzerne County not to let the resi- )
dents of institutions become forgotten people. There is for- .
lorn loneliness so tragic that one comes away from an
institution with a feeling of
mental depression unless he
definitely goes for the purpose of bringing to the patients
a sense of being remembered and a feeling of friendship
for them. This calls for a beautiful well-equipped building
but it calls for far more, for the concern of people as
friends of the friendless.

Riot Of Color And Costumes For |
Big Halloween Parade In Dallas
.
Stamping and prancing, Dallas High School Majorettes
‘went into their act before the reviewing stand Tuesday night, |
as officers halted traffic in Central Dallas, and the Big Hal- |
loween Parade got under way.
Junior high school drill team, in flaring scarlet skirts and |
_ white blouses, red pompoms bouncing at white drill boots, |
leaders plowed steadily ahead in the wake of the senior band |
and majorettes.
A tidal wave of 600 would-be marchers in wild costumes |
awaited the signal on the far side of the highway until the High |
School Band had finished playing the National Anthem.
The parade, postponed from Mon-
day night because of rain, had fair
and warmer weather for the march
a break for lightly clad ballet dan-
cers and children in cotton cos-
tumes.
Mothers and fathers escorted the
small fry.
One of the hits of the evening
was a set of uppers. and lowers,
chomping busily as it marched down
Main Street displaying the sign,
Look Ma, No Cavities.
A large bunch of carrots was an-
other eye-catcher, also a line of five
little devils in stairstep sizes.
The space age was represented by
nose cones and costumes obviously
from Mars, and the Old Grey Mar:
pranced ss.usual, head and tail as-
lies connected with something
bearing a strange resemblance to
athe spare-room bedspread.
7% A pair of pygmies got a big hand.
A lanky youth, apparently walking
on his hands with his feet in the
air, got a laugh.
The parade was more varied than
usual.
Mill Street, came back up the high-
way to the traffic light and the
reviewing stand, where winners were
siphoned off by judges and escort-
ed to the Fire House,

Interest High
In Contest For
Tax Collector
There is a battle royal on for
Tax Collector in Kingston Township
and the outcome is anybody's guess.
Two good men are running for the
position—Henry Kann, Democrat,
and Vern Pritchard, Republican.
In the Primaries Pritchard beat
out the veteran ‘and well-liked
Tax Collector Ted Poad in a three- |
cornered fight that saw many votes |
going to popular Ted Woolbert.
competition in the Primaries may
have been an omen of his personal
strength, but Kann is out to make
him prove it.
No Democrat would ordinarily
have much of a chance in rock-
ribbed Republican Kingston Town-
ship, but Kann is extremely popular
and as an auditor has all of the
qualifications for Tax Collector. He
has a hard row to hoe. No Demo-
crat has carried the Township with-
in the memory of most voters.
This about sums up the local
situation except for th County
, Arthur Smith, incumbent Super-
visor won both the Republican and
Democratic nominations in the
Primarigs. Mrs. Beatrice Williams
and Frederick Anderson won the
Republican nominations for Justice
of the Peace and only two are to be
elected.
All in all the excitement in Kings-
ton Township hinges on the out-
come of the contest between Prit-
chard and Kann.
No Trace Of Thieves
State and local police are still
without leads in their search for
the robbers who entered Gorda’s
Sunoco Station on Memorial High-
way sometime between Sunday,
night and Monday morning and
took a quantity of money: as well
as accessories.
The thieves made their entry
through side ;window which they
smashed, but were deliberate about
it taking their time to unbolt a
heavy bar that locked the window
from the rear. ;
Bill James, attendant, who locked
the station Sunday night, also dis-
covered the theft when he came to
work Monday morning. 7

Ten Directors
Seek Election
To Joint Board
Contests Lack Fire
In Spite Of Furor
Over New Building
One Democratic and eight Repub-
lican School Directors are up for re-
election to Lake-Lehman Joint
School Board and all will have op-
position. '
Two each are seeking reelection
in each of the five districts served
by the big jointure except in Ross
Township where long time Director
Alfred Bronson will not seek re-
election.
But there is almost complete
apathy among the electorate and
the contests lack sparkle and fire in
spite of the recent furor over the
construction of a new high school.
As one voter, who opposed the
new school, put it this week: “I've
changed my mind. I'd like to have
them all reelected. After seeing
what the State spent for the new
Correctional Institution in Jackson
| Township for criminals, - I think we
ought to spend just as much for our
kids for a good school! . 4 $
Maybe that sums up the change

| comprising the Lake-Lehman Joint-
| ure. “If the State is going to force
us to spend money for education,
let’s go for the best.”
