~ Editorially Speaking:
SOMETHING TO
KEEP IN MIND
There is small doubt that renewed attacks will con-
tinue to be made on the pharmaceutical industry. Tt will
be charged again and again that this industry—which,
through costly and often non-profitable research, has
produced remedies that have brought miraculous relief
and health to legions of people—operates on the all-the-
traffic-will-bear principle.
These charges can be powerfully refuted by simple
sets of established statistics.
To take just one, over a
‘recent 10-year period the wholesale price of drugs rose
but three per cent, as against a 22 per cent surge in the
average prices of all industrial products.
But there is much more to the drug story than the
cold figures.
A factor which is frequently overlooked is
that the family breadwinner is, often, back on the job
much sooner because of modern drug therapy. He's get-
ting his paychecks again—whereas,
he
in past times,
might have spent long periods of time in the hospital
or become permanently incapacitated.
To take an actual example, a surgeon had to give
up his practice because of crippling arthritis. Then he
underwent extensive treatment with a newly developed
drug.
The result was that he could resume practice again
—and perform his skills for the benefit of many hundreds
of people who might otherwise have suffered because of
* his incapacity.
This, of course,
is just one example that could be
oited out of numberless others—covering all trades, all
professions, and people of every age and position. It's
something to keep in mind when the attacks begin again.

Dallas, Pa.
Gentlemen:
On Saurday afternoon I was fish- |
ing at the Alderson section of Har-
vey’s Lake and I noticed two small
boys skating on the opposite side of
the lake.
‘While watching them one of the
boys backed up and fell into the
area cut away around the dock. I
immediately dropped my pole and
started to run to help. But without
a moments hesitation the other boy
grabbed him by the coat and held
* him until he was able to drop to the
ice on his stomach. He then pro-
ceeded to pull the boy out.
He took the near-drowned boy
into a home and in checking later I
found his name was Pat Stenger,
and he is no more than eight or
nine years old.
I think he certainly deserves
some credit because if he decided
to run for help I certainly would
never have been there in time to
save the boy. ;

Dear Mrs. Hicks, and Editors of
Dallas Post:
On behalf of the members of Gate
of Heaven Altar and Rosary Soc-
fjety, Our Pastor and Moderator.
Rey. Francis A. Kane, 1 take this
liberty of extending our personal
word of gratitude and sincere ap-
preciation for the splendid public
service you so graciously rendered
during the past year towards our
Society and he many other activ-
ities of our Parish.
Thank You and May God Bless You!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Joseph J. Drust,
(Public Relations of 61)
The trouble with most every hus-
band is that he wishes hig wife
could make bread like his mother,
while she wishes hubby could make
dough like her father,
HAVE YOU THE, ANSWER ?
Dear Editor: :
I'm writing this hoping that you
will help me find the answer to
some questions.
Do you know whether or not
our public schools could accept an
endowment from a philanthropist
or well-meaning citizen without
jeopordizing State or Federal aid?
At a gathering of friends rec-
ently, we discussed our new school,
our new taxes, of course, and in.
creases to come.
We also thought how mice it
would be if we had a swimming
pool that could be used for the
public the year round as well as
the school. Naturally this would
cost money and at the present, even
I, feel the tax burden is great
enough but could it be accomplished
by other means and be definitely
a part of the school?
Perhaps if this letter were print-
ed some of our school board mem-
bers. could answer this publicly so
that not only I but all citizens
might know the answer.
Many persons leave money to
Churches, charities and other org-
anizations but to date I have not
heard of anyone endowing a public
school.
Respectfully yours
Mrs, Jack Barnes

With GEORGE A. and
EDITH ANN BURKE
TV VIA SATELLITE . Next Aug-
ust the United States hopes to send
a live telecast across the Atlantic
to owners of Europe’s 25 million
TV sets via satellite.
Use of this way of communica-
tions will overcome some of the
problems of ground relaying of radio
and TV signals. TV signals travel in
a straight line, so they can’t be
sent beyond the horizon except by
relay stations or by cables. Signals
dispatched to. a satellite, though,
can be relayed back to earth in a
jump of thousands of miles.
The satellite used will be of a
type different from the earliest ones
developed for space communications
experiments. These were called
“passive” satellites, which carried
no transmission equipment but re-
flected radio waves the way a
mirror reflects light waves. Echo I,
an aluminized balloon relayed = a
taped recording of President Eisen-
hower’s voice from California to
New Jersey in 1960. This was the
passive type. Because they are
lighter in weight, passive satellites
are comparatively easier to orbit
but they demand enormous power
in the ground transmitter which
dispatches the signals they relay.
The transatlantic TV satellites
will be of “Active types.” Each will
carry a receiver and transmitter to
pick up signals from the ground,
amplify them, and transmit them
back to earth. Satellite transmit-
ters powered by solar batteries
may operate for several months or
even several years, engineers say.
The TU. S. Information Service
is helping prepare the program
which will be beamed to Europe.
NOT FOR HONOR ALONE are
biographical series presented on tele-
vision, Winston Churchill received
payment in six figures for his
ABC.TV series, “The Valiant Years.”
It is said that the Duke of Wind-
sor will receive a kingly sum for
his series of 26 half-hour shows.
If Jack Le Vien, who'll produce
“A King’s Story,” succeeds in
persuading the Duke into/ doing
the narration himself the payment
will increase considerably.
Jack is on the way to Madrid
tc discuss the project with the
Duke and Duchess and to decide
if the Duke is physically up to the
task.
Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt is pour-
ing through her records and work-
ing on her remembrances for “The
Roosevelt Years,” which will
seen next Fall.
THE DICK POWELL SHOW des-
erves credit for producing some
very interesting shows. The stories
have a depth, compassion and
understanding seldom seen on tele-
vision these days. There is no
sameness about this program ex-
cept good quality. This is one show
worth the full hour.
FATHER OF THE BRIDE has re-
ceived a reprieve. It will continue
for the balance of the season and
go into re-runs in the summer.
On the Feb. 2 TV show, Burt
Metcalfe will walk down the aisle
with Myrna Fahey
Burt is a very recent bridegroom.
It is only a matter of weeks since
he walked down the aisle with an
executive Toby Honey Richman.
According to Burt, “Getting mar-
ried is the most nerve-racking
thing in the world of a man.”
“There is no such thing as a
nervous bride,” he insists. “This is
their show and they are ready for
it. The parents have mixed emo-
tions. One pair is getting rid of
a son and the other is unloading
a daughter.”
VINCE EDWARDS, TV'S Ben Cas-
ey points out that four months
ago he could have been run down
by a truck and except for the driv-
er and possibly the policeman no
one would have noticed, but today
if he goes to cross a street he
stops traffic.
John J. Bourke's
Mother Dies Aged 85
John J. Bourke, vice president
of Metropolitan Wire Co. and resi-
dent of Westmoreland Hills, left
Wednesday morning for Washington
to attend the funeral of his moth-
er, Mrs. Susan McQ. Bourke, who
died early that morning aged 85.
She will be buried later this week
in Arlington National Cemetery.
Mrs. Bourke, a native of Cumb-
erland, Md., left her mark upon
Old Georgetown, where for many
years she made her home. Some
vears after marriage to John ‘J.
Bourke Sr. in 1902, she became
interested in real estate, and spear-
headed the movement to restore
and renovate old Georgetown homes.
She was a charter member of
many organizations.
Just two years ago, she passed
with flying colors road tests and
rigid visual requirements of her
driver's license in Metropolitan,
Washington.
Mrs. Bourke comes of a line
of people who get things done. A
sister, Mary IL. Bourke, is -presi-
dent of the Lewis Hotel Training
School in Washington; another
sister, [Sister M. Christopher Bourke
RSM, is principal of St. Agnes
High School for Girls in Baltimore;
a third sister is Mrs. Henry J. Tril-
ling. z
Surviving also are two grand-
children, John and Jane G. Bourke.

The Wardan Cemetery
spelled Worden and Warden), still
in use and well maintained, is not
one of the oldest hereabouts, but
it contains the grave of the oldest
native in Dallas, then Bedford. Dem-
ing Spencer
age 76 years, which would make
him born in 1797, although tradi-
tion has it 1800. According to HIST-
ORY OF DALLAS TOWNSHIP, Pa.
by W. P. Ryman, he was the first
white child born here, in the house
of John Leonard before his parents
has their own house finished. Elam
and Daniel Spencer owned about
250 acres of land in the vicinity of
Goss Corners and eastward, extend-
ing toward the new school. The
Cemetery also contains the grave
of Susanna Spencer, born in 1797
and several later omnes. The Spenc-
cers have always been numerous
in the area and still are.
The first Wardan in the area,
Nathaniel, lived near the corner
of Lake Street and is mentioned
in the viewers report when the
road was laid out from Goss Corn-
ers to Lake St. in 1828. Nathan
Worden, probably the same, ap-
pears in other records in 1823, per-
haps earlier. Nathaniel was the
father of John, Samuel, and Abra-
ham. Samuel and John Worden were
assessed with 160 acres of land, no
house, in 1818. [Samuel subsequent-
ly lived in the vicinity of the Ceme-
tery, his brother Abram or Abra-
ham on the College Farm, and,
at least later in life, John lived
on Huntsville Street, where his
daughter Suzanna died when she
was nearly a hundred. Another
brother, Joseph, located at Harv-
eys Lake, and one named Henry
near Evans Falls. There were sev-
eral others.
John Garbutt, and Mrs. Franklin
buried at Wardan Cemetery. He had
a son John, and besides Suzanne,
several daughters. Harriet married
Joseph Atherholt and lived on a farm
at the top of Center Hill. Mary
married Madden Roushey; Elizabeth
married Henry Hockenbury; Ade-
laide was the wife of Moses Kitchen;
Clara became Mrs. Samuel Hull; and
Priscilla married an Orr. Another
sister was the wife of Theodore Maj-
or
Abraham had a large family. Ma-
died Feb. 23, 1873, |
>
Hunter; other children were Ura;
Eliza; Abilene; George; Sidney; Ben-
son; Spencer, father of Sherman;
and Perry, father of Howard, Mrs.
Jhn Garbutt, and Mrs. Franklin
Brenner. Abraham died young, Sept.
9, 1847 not quite 43.
William Emmons (1796-1887)
called Daddy Emmons, one of the
best known men in the area, and
his wife Lydia (1794-1872) were not
here in the earlier days. Martin
Davis (1787-1860) may have been
related through marriage of their
daughter.
Most of the early Honeywells
are buried in the Rice Cemetery but
the Wardan has the grave of Wil-
liam (1791-1872) one of the pion-
eers, also his wife Elizabeth (1802-
1869). There are many later ones.
There is a large section of Fishers
beginning with Jacob Fisher (1797-
1861). Jacob Miers (1795-1838) ap-
pears to be the earliest of that fam-
ily, and his wife Sarah (1800-1874).
Oldest of the Kunkle family seems
to be Conrad (1810-1869) and his
wife Polly (1810-1846). The Goss
family is represented by Almon
(1808-1893) and his wife Sally
Ann (1803-1880).
A little older were John Bryant
(1793-1880) and his wife Martha
(1799-1859).
The Lake Street Corner at Center
Hill Road was formerly the site of
the common rural set-up of church
and cemetery adjoining. The present
Rosary Hall for decades was the
Methodist Church, the only church
in Dallas for many years. In this
case the Cemetery was in use first.
Most of the Wardan’s had large
families and intermarried with other
families in this area so that today
there are many residents related to
the Wardan family. Sometime it will
be necessary to give the family a
full column.
We have not resumed writing a
column for the city papers. A recent
item quoting remarks about walk-
ing in the Back Mountain Area was
condensed from this column pub-
lished Dec. 1, 1960, over a year ago.
It's a compliment that anyone thinks
it was worth saving that long, and
good enough to use when a filler was
needed.

A lot of us this winter feel
as if we'd been run through the
wringer, what with the zero spell, the January Thaw, and now the
flu, but it is a heartening thought that within six weeks we will be
admiring the first orange crocus, and that after that, even allowing
time out for two full-fledged blizzards and six onion snows, things
ought to begin looking up.
And in the meantime there are hungry birds to feed, brilliant
flashes of color darting toward the suet feeder. The sun is beginning
to swing back again, far enough toward the North now to make a
perceptible difference in the length of the days.
It still looks like a long cold winter, as we settle toward the
deep-freeze of February.
But we don’t have the avalanches that plague Colorado this
year, and our houses are built to withstand the icy blasts.
We don’t have to lie awake nights wondering if the smudge .
pots are going to keep the orange trees from freezing.
We don't need to keep a weather eye on tHe thermometer to
see if it will hit the freezing point and reduce the tomato crop to a
shambles,
We know it is going to be zero, or below, tonight, and if we
are at all smart, we will start the faucets dripping before we go to
bed.
Nothing like knowing exactly what we're up agaist.
And that is zero, and below zero, and better forget that crocus
. for awhile.
It is nested snugly beneath the iron-bound earth, but it will be
along in its season.
Followed by daffodils and tulips and lilacs and laurel.
