THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1962
“Town Without P
ity”
Gordon Wolverton said, “You
ought to see the miniature village
that Lewis Underwood made. He
didn’t have it out for Christmas this
year, but he unwrapped some of
the little houses to show the chil-
dren. Maybe he hasn't put them
away yet.”
It was worth going to see. Mr.
Underwood, West Center Street,
Shavertown, was preparing to put
them away, but he stopped in his
tracks, grafted a card table to the
dining room table, and set them
all up again from barn to hen-
house.
It started out thirty years ago,
he explained, with a farm scene
ranged on a green sawdust covered
platform under the Christmas tree,
and grew up into a complete vil-
lage with railroad station, water
tower, a Lionel train rumbling
around the curves, and even a
swimming pool.
“You can’t find little animals
like these in the five and ten now-
adays, said Mrs. Underwood, hold-
ing up a small banty rooster with
a spectacular tail, and a Poland
China pig. “And look at that old
lady sitting on the park bench.”
Some of the small figures have
been lost over the years, but enough
remain to give the village a popu-
lated look.
Prune boxes, cigar boxes, bits of
plywood, popsicle sticks furnished
materials. The houses come apart
for easy packing, chimneys lift off,
porches detach, roofs may be
lifted to show second floors, and the
second floors lift to show the first,
with cunning stairways leading
down. Sloping cellar doors are de-
tachable. : 3
Great attention was paid to de-
tail in construction. The school
house shows pegs for hanging coats
and hats, school desks, and teach-
er’ desk. At the church, pews are
carved, the reading stand slopes
appropriately, and there is a pul-
pit chair. The belfry lifts off.
| In the barn, with its green
| shingled roof, there are stalls for
‘horses, and a bay for farm mach-

Shavertown from Forty Fort when
Robert was fourteen years old. He
is a former Boy Scout executive
of Allentown.
When Robert was a boy, the
Lionel train set was his pride and
joy. Mr. Underwood himself is a
retired railroad man, who worked
with the Pennsylvania and Lehigh
Valley Railroads at Mt. Carmel. Mrs.
Underwood is the former Florence

Ruto Drivers’ Licenses
Valid Through 1962
The State Bureau of Motor Veh-
icles today reminded motor vehicle
operators that current operators’
licenses are valid for one more

Director James W. Miller noted
that a small number of persons
have written to the Bureau re-
questing applications for a 1962
license.
Last year, a two-year license
was initiated as an economy
measure. Miller reported that re-
ling charges are resulting in a sav-
ings of $250,000 « annually.

try who, in the opinion of the
judges, represent the nation’s top
500 scores will be invited to par-
ticipate in Regional tournaments lo-
cated in 25 major cities.
Each Regional contest winner will
be awarded a beautiful Facit port-
able typewriter. The top 10 Region-
al tournament scorers will be in-
vited to the National Finals where
competition wil take place to de-
termine the grand prize winner.
One of the unique features of this
contest, notes Mr. Kirk, is that the
student’s official typing test paper
will be judged on a ‘perfect’ copy
(no errors) basis rather than on
speed alone as most typing con-
tests have been in the past. Pupils,
because of the contest motivation
are easily encouraged to practice
'| often with the object of getting
errorless typing. This means a far
more realistic approach to typing
proficiency, he adds, since em-
ployers are much more interested
in a typist who can. produce error-
less work, than one who produces
fase but inaccurate work,

meet Swoyerville at King’s Gym.
