There’s a collie dog on Tunkhannock Highway that could be
trained to be a real asset to any thrifty householder. Lately he
has developed the knack of bringing home usable objects. Recently
he appeared with a bathmat. He has swiped an arctic, large size,
and retrieved child's bag holding a few small toys.
But Mrs. Frank Warren, his owner, feels that he should ex-
-ercise a little commonsense. What good is one figure-skate, size
nine, without its mate? Frank Jr., coming home from school,
brought the shoe-skate, almost brand new, into the house on
Tuesday, with a ‘“Where’d THIS come from, Mom ?”
The pickings must be pretty good in Goss Manor. Mrs. Warren
observes. She is encouraging her retriever to go back for the other
skate. The alternative is for the owner who has lost a figure
skate, to identify it, take it home, and keep it in the house. Mrs.
Warren’s number is ORchard 4-7537.
Now there is a dog which could be trained to bring home the
other skate, the second arctic, and maybe a roast of beef. There
is no real limit to the things a five year old collie of energetic dis-
position could be expected to deliver.
I can see him now, casing the neighbors’ premises, abstracting
a pair of pillowcases from the line, nosing into the screened back
porches in search of tasty groceries.
{100 Years Ago This Week...in
THE CIVIL WAR
(Events exactly 100 years ago this week in the Civil War—itold in
the language and style of today.)
Busy Birthday
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Feb. 12—President Abraham Lincoln today
observed his 53rd birthday with a routine day in the White House. The
chief executive, who left his Springfield, Ill. home just a year ago to
take over the reins of the troubled nation, conferred with military and
civilian aides, following a harrowing work schedule in effect since
beginning of hostilities with Confederate States.

South to Abandon
Many Kentucky Posts
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Feb. 9—Confederate General Albert Sidney
Johnston has ordered a full-scale retreat of Southern forces from the
southwestern sector of Kentucky.
News of Johnston’s decision fol-
lowed mounting reports of abject
hardship, low morale and gener-
ally dismal conditions on the part
of Confederate forces still within
the troubled border state.
Brig. Gen. U. S. Grant, operat-
ing out of his headquarters at
Cairo, Ill., has launched a series
of successful forays on Southern
forces in Kentucky and Tennessee.
* * *
GRANT’S major success to date
was capture earlier this week of
strategic Fort Henry, conquered
after a history-making assault by
a flotilla of river warships.
Gen. Lloyd Tilghman left the
fortress to Union attackers after
riverboats under command of
Grant and Flag Officer Andrew
H. Foote poured tons of hot iron
into the Confederates three days
ago. Southern losses: five killed,
11 wounded, five missing, at least
78 captured.
The lot of Confederate
troops in Kentucky has been
a sorry one since the begin-
ning of hostilities. It has been
a cruel winter.
Confederate Brig. Gen. Hum-
phrey Marshall, assigned late last
year to command of troops at
Prestonburg, reported that he
found his men sorely wanting in
clothing, food and arms.
One regiment, Marshall ad-
vised, included 350 men without
shoes; there were only 100 blan-
kets for the 700 men in another
group; arms were, in the most
part, what the men had brought
from their homes.

Outdoor Tips
Minnows can help you catch more
fish but the problem of how to catch
minnows is sometimes a tough one.
Next time you're seining or netting
minnows, try this method and see
it it doesn’t bring more of those
slippery silver fish into your net.
Use a pole or oar and stir up the
bottom of the water vigorously. The
minnows will come to the top to feed
on the food suspended in the water.
Also, the dirt in the water will help
camouflage your net.
Trout always seem to hide them-
selves in places that are impossible
to reach unless you're a champion
caster with two gold medals. Well,
you don’t really have to be a champ
to fish those hard-to-hit spots. A
branch with a few leaves provides
the perfect camouflage and the an-
swer to the problem. Hook a fly
lightly to the branch and float it
downstream. When you've reached
the spot you want, a gentle twitch
on the line drops the fly to zero-in
on the trout in the vicinity.
Worms or night crawlers can be
made more effective if the colored
band that you remove when you
open a pack of cigarettes is tied
around them. Fish are attracted by
the color and the shine. The bands |
can also be great bait savers. |

Political Posters
From Lincoln's
Second Campaign Discovered Here
Lists of 1,200 Luzerne Coumty Civil War
Draft Evaders Also Found In Robbins Cellar
A poster containing a list of more than 1,200 de
serters from the Civil War Draft in Luzerne County has
been discovered by William Robbins in the cellar of his
home at Trucksville.
The frayed poster, remarkably
preserved for all of its almost 100 |
years, is one of six uncovered at
the same time by Mr. Robbins.
A second poster gives a list of
almost 1,000 aliens living in
Luzerne County who were exempt
from the Civil War Drafts. All of
the names are exclusively of Eng- |
lish, German and Irish extraction.
A number listed are residents of
Jackson, Lehman and Dallas Town-
ships.
The other four placards are poli-
tical campaign posters used by the
Republican Party during Lincoln's
second campaign for President. They
were printed by King & Baird, 607
Samson Street, Philadelphia.
Mr. Robbins recalls. that his
father once warned him never to
let the list of Draft Deserters get
out of his hands. Fortunately there
are only five on the list from the
Back Mountain country, all five
being from Kingston Township.
POSTER NO. 1
Mr. Robbins doesn’t recall where
his father found the posters but he
does remember that his father
preserved them by pasting them on
heavy cardboard. Bill had for-
gotten all about them until he
found them in his cellar and forth-
with brought them to The Dallas
Post where he placed them on the
editor's desk with the remark:
“You can have them if you want
them, they are of no use to me’.
The editor admonished him for
vot handling them more carefully.
“If they are what I think they are,
they're valuable to Civil War bugs
like me.”
They were just what the editor
thought they were—priceless rec-
ords of a tragic conflict just 100
years ago that split a nation as-
sunder.
The copy as it appeared on the
four political posters of the cam-
paign of 1864 follows:
A SOUTHERN PEACE!
DEMOCRATS
“Be mot deceived with the idea that the rebel leaders
will willingly consent to the restoration of the Union.”
In the rebel official report of the interview between Jefferson Davis
and the Messers Jacquess and Gilmore, Davis dismissed them with
this declaration—
“That the separation of the States was an accomplished
fact; that he had no authority to receive proposals for
negotiation except by virtue of his office as President of
an Independant Confederacy; and ON THIS BASIS ALONE
must proposals be made to him“
In his last message to the Rebel Congress, Jefferson Davis in speak-
ing of peace, describes
“The Only Peace Possible Between Us—a peace which
recognizing the impassable gulf which now divides us, may
leave the two people separately to recover from the injuries
inflicted on both by the causeless war now waged against us”
In a speech to the [Legislature of Mississippi, Dec. 22, 1862,
Jefferson Davis said:
*
“After what has happened the last two years my wonder is,
that we have consented to live so long a time in association
with such miscrants, Were it ever proposed to enter again
into a union with such people, I could no more consent to
it than to trust myself in a den of thieves.”
DEMOCRATS are you prepared to legalize Secession, to recognize
the Independent Sovereignty of the State, and thus to perpetuate
Revolution and Civil Strife?
If not, V OTE for Lincoln
and Johnson and thus secure the only sure Peace.

DEMOCRACY!
READ WHAT THE LEADERS SAY: !
The object of the Southern Rebellion and of its
Northern allies, is to render Slavery universal, Under the
name of Democracy, they seek to deprive labor of all its rights.
“The theory of free labor is a delusion. Slavery is the natural
and normal condition of the laboring man, White or Black.”
—De Bow’s Southern Review
“The enslavement of the laborer is right in itself, and does not
depend upon the difference of complexion.”
—Richmond Enquirer
“Slavery, Black or White, is right and necessary.
—Fitzhugh’s Sociology of the South
‘Policy and humanity alike forbid the extension of the evils of
free labor to new peoples and coming generations.”
—Richmond Enquirer
“Make the laboring man a slave and he would be far better off.”
—Fitzhugh’s Sociology
“The hand that is familiar with the plough handle should never
be permitted to touch a ballot.”
~—John C. Calhoun
“Providence has so ordered our internal relations as to make
Negro slavery an incalculable blessing to us” —George W. Woodward
“Even here in our land of universal suffrage, how does it ap-=
pear that ALL MEN ARE BORN EQUAL?
The proposition is sheer
- absurdity. All men are born unequal and their freedom is as unreal
as their equality.”
—Bishop Hopkins, Democratic Edition
Thus the “Democrats”, North and South, pronounce free
society a failure, and free labor a curse.
Slavery is a
blessing to be extended over all men who labor, whether
black or white.

At. least twenty-five hundred
times in all probably, I hase passed
through the gap where Tobys Creek
cuts through the mountain between
Hillside and Luzerne, once a beauti-
ful scenic area. Many changes have
been observed over the years, most
of them no improvement from a
beauty standpoint, and most of
them man made.
Over a period of time there is
always some variation in any
stream, but in an area like this of
rocky terrain and coverage by brush
and trees, this would not be pro-
nounced in any short period. A few
years ago, a storm on the order of
a small tornado, swung up the
mountain side back of the laundry
cutting out a swatch, not very wide,
by tipping over the trees that were
not broken off. but such damage
has not been important and soon
is concealed by new growth.
Contrary to common belief, the
creek in most of the curved area,
and the land south and west of it
is in the borough of Courtdale
since’ 1897. - While we usual-
ly think of Courtdale as the
village, its boundary runs, “To a
corner of Jackson Township; thence
north 6% degrees east 2615 feet to
the turnpike; thence along said
turnpike, its various courses, and
thence leaving the turnpike run to
the Luzerne Borough Line”. The
opposite side is in Kingston Town-
ship up to a point about 2000 feet
below the junction with the road
leading to Huntsville. In that area
both sides are in Kingston Town-
ship. The “Turnpike” referred to
was the old road winding along
the creek on the same side as at
present, mostly covered by the
present road built in 1928-30. It
became a blacktop County road a
little over fifty years ago.
For generations the section we
call “Hillside,” was known as “Ice
Cave”, and the hotel located there
was the “Ice Cave Hotel”, a con-
venient stop for drivers of ox and
horse teams to and from the Hunts-
ville section. The “Ice Cave men-
tioned was part way up the moun-
tain on the west or southwest side
of the creek where a small stream
tumbled down the mountain. Var-
ious people who saw it personally
told me about it in my chidhood.
The sun never penetrated and ice
was seen all the year. At the time
I was grown up, the roof had caved
in. This also was probably a mad-
made change due to cutting of the
timber. Part of the area was again
cut off in my time.
The best place to see the gap is
from the road known as Bunker

A feature story last year in the
Dallas Post has launched a young
man in the bee business in a big
way Bobby Wintersteen, Harveys
Lake, who helped thirteen residents
out of their difficulties with swarm-
ing bees last summer, is now herd-
ing bees in Florida for William
Perry of Orange, who in his own
quiet way has built up a tremendous
bee business.
Wintersteen says that after the
orange crop honey is in the bag, and
the groves pollenated, colonies will
be taken to Chambersburg to pol-
lenate the cherry and apple trees.
Later still, honey crops and pollena-
tion will take in the Scranton area
for blueberry growers, and later still
New York State.
Bobby says it’s fantastic. He has
been working with Mr. Perry since
October, and has seen more honey
than he knew existed, 65 pound
drums of expressed honey for the
wholesale market,’ seven tons of it
in one day's haul from Dushore
Bees, like sheep, are a two-crop

line crosses, in the afternoon. As
of about forty years ago it was a
very pretty sight. There was just
enough opening for the sun to light
up the winding creek. The trolley
cars, from the elevation which was
two or three hundred feet higher,
looked about like toys, and when
two were coupled together, they
closely resembled a toy train. Autos
were smaller then, and crept up the
crooked, rounded, blacktop road like
beetles. The rails of the Lehigh
Valley, well polished by the pull
of several trains a day, shone in
the sun like threads of silver. No
buildings could be seen, and the
brush crowded close to, sometimes
between, the four openings as
seen left to right—the trolley tracks,
the creek, the road, and the rail-
road on a shelf at the right, a lit-
tle higher than the others.
Although much changed in the
amount of use, the railroad shows
the least change in appearance.
The present four-lane highway, now
almost obsolete, covers most of the
old road and is much straighter in
spots. Increased road traffic more
than balances the loss of the rail-
road traffic through the gap. Some
changes were made in the creek
when the road was built, and the
trolley tracks with accompanying
poles were lifted completely, the
brush again taking over. Natural
weathering of the rock face and
brush growth along the edges have
about removed the open wound of
the stone quarry maintained by the
trolley company.
For years at a time I rode the
train home, sometimes in the after-
noon, or in the early morning. In
the spring and fall, particularly, it
was an excellent place to see the
natural beauty of the gap. The
right of way was free of brush and
open, and the elevation of the rear
platform was just about right to
afford a good view as the train
rounded the numerous curves.
are more depressing. Few of the
buildings in the area of the gap
are anything to be proud of and
some are eyesores.
barriers are dilapidated. In such a
location the . numerous billboards
are a safety hazard and a disgrace
from a scenic viewpoint.
Probably the new road about to
be built will be little improvement
as far as the natural scenery is
concerfied, but if a concerted effort
were made we might be able to get
some improvement as to the road-
side buildings and billboards. This
would be a good project for joint
action by all the Back Mountain
service clubs.
Dallas Post Feature Launches
Young Man In The Bee Business
bee-renting is big business.
Wintersteen already has a tenta-
tive eye on the West. Honey crops,
he says, are fabulous in the
Dakotas. .
Somebody spotted the feature
story on Bobby removing a swarm
of bees from a Dallas home, and
asked Bobby to join the Luzerne
County American Bee Foundation,
and since then, his knowledge of bees
has increased by leaps and bounds.
Both he and Mr. Perry exhibited
in the Pennsylvania Farm Show
this month, winning a fourth place
against heavy competition.
New Colonies, Wintersteen says,
are more productive than old ones,
so the instant a colony shows signs
of tapering off in productcion, it is
destroyed Hives have to be kept
completely free of germs, and much
preparatory work is necessary be-
fore hives can be located in or-
chards. If a hive shows signs point-
ing to trouble, it is burned. For the
past month, hives have been re-
novated.
Honey is about the only food
that cannot be adulterated or
“stretched.” It cannot be duplicated.
Its wax cells keep the product fresh
and uncontaminated, a pure product
of nature.

THE WHITE HOUSE TOUR, in
which Jackie Kennedy talks about
its history and the changes she
has made in its decor during the
past year, will be telecast Wednes-
day, 10-11 p.m.
A 40-man CBS television crew
worked with Jackie. They started
at 11 a. m. and finished at 6:30
p-m. with an hour-and-a-half break
for lunch. Not once did she com-
plain of fatigue.
She made quite an impression
with the crew. It was reported that
she was prompt, co-operative and
knowledgeable. When they were
out into the hall and waited until
they were ready.”
The televised tour starts in the
Curator’s office and goes on into
the Diplomatic Reception Room
where the late FDR once gave his
fireside chats. ’
The 1834 Bubar wallpaper which
cost an estimated $180,000, covers
the wall of this room. =
The cameras will take the view-
ers into the Upholstery Room—
where a small staff of girls is cata-
loguing treasures while men work
on an old Monroe cabinet chair.
The tour will continue to the
East Room, where Abigail Adams
once hung a family wash to dry
and then into the state dining room.
The table was covered with a
white-and-gold cloth and set with
a gold dinner service for 30, pur-
chased during the Eisenhower ad-
ministration. ;
Of all the public rooms in the
White House, Mrs. Kennedy gave
the most attention to the Red Room,
the Lincoln Room and the Green
Room.
The walls of the Red Room have
been covered in a fabric with a
gold scroll. Two Lincoln straight-
chairs, which Mrs. Kennedy dis-
room, together with a sofa of
Madison’s. On one wall there is a
Sargent portrait of Teddy Roose-
velt which Mrs. Kennedy considers
the finest portrait in the executive
.mansion. :
House has a “Storage room.”
According to the producer it is
' piled high with tables, chairs, desks
and cabinets all waiting to be re-
stored.
Franklin Schaffner noted that
unlike most women, Mrs. Kennedy
made no apologies for it.
Jackie used no script but worked
from a broad outline expanding on
the notes and was interviewed by
CBS narrator Charles Collingwood.
The President made % five-min-
ute appearance in the Monroe Room.
He doesn’t talk directly with Jackie
but he discusses, among other
things, how pleased he is with the
¢ ges she has made.
When the President and the
First Lady saw the tape they were
both very pleased with it. ie
For the showing of the film the
Kennedys had a small dinner party.

applause and was obviously very
