Editorially Speaking:
K DEATH TAX FOR BUSINESS
This time next year your favorite reading material—
including many newspapers and magazines—may not be
around to continue the valuable contribution it makes
to your pleasure, information, culture and knowledge.
The reason?
"The House of Representatives has
passed a postal rate increase bill which could—if favored
by the Senate+-mean the death of many publicatipns and
consequent unemployment for thousands of loyal em-
ployees.
The Representatives who voted for this confiscatory
bill knew full well that scores of small newspapers and
at least 80 magazines have been forced to fold during
the last decade because of rising costs, of which postal
rates played an important part. Consequently, they cast
their votes behind a cloak of anonymity by agreeing that
there would be no roll call.
Facing re-election in Novem-
ber, they did not want their constituents to know that
they favored this onerous rate hike.
Those who voted against the bill in most instances
knew that the measure would not accomplish its purpose
of increasing revenues, because it follows that if the
sources of income are dried up, the increases on the re-
maining sources would not be sufficient to make up the
deficit.
Not only does the post office budget overstate the
so-called deficit and fail to appropriate sufficient funds
for public services which have nothing to do with carry-
ing mail, it also does not call for large-scale moderniza-
tion to make
handling of the mails more efficient,
although it notes that modernization is desirable.
Nor
does it mention that newspapers and magazines do most
of the mail handling under their second class permits to
eliminate as much work as possible for the post office of
origin.
The House bill at best will raise only part of the
revenue needed to clear up the deficit; at worst, it will
increase the ranks of the unemployed by decimating pub-
lications and small businesses.
It is to be hoped that the Senate Post Office Com-
mittee will hold hearings on the measure and, as a con-
sequence, modify it to preserve the nation’s newspapers,
magazines and other businesses which depend on the mails
to make important contributions to the gross national
product. This is the only fair thing to do.
Meanwhile, everyone who enjoys reading a good
newspaper or magazine should let his Senator know that
the exorbitant postal rates in H. R. 7927 are a “death
tax” for many businesses.

For Sales Management
John H.: Kuhl, Lehigh Street,
Shavertown, sales manager for
Shorten [Lincoln-Mercury Sales,
Scranton, has earned a Sales Man-
agement award from Lincoln-Mer-
cury Sales Council, according to A.
E. Luster, Philadelphia sales man-
ager for Lincoln Continental.
The certificate was awarded for
proficiency in organizing and direct-
ing a top-level sales force. The
prestige awards are presented after
an evaluation of accomplishments
by dealership sales managers
throughout the country.
Mr, Kuhl’s wife, Shirley, and son,
Gregory, are especially proud of
dad’s accomplishment, for Shorten
Lincoln-Mercury Sales of Scranton
sold 718 new automobiles and 1,200
used cars during 1961. This is Mr.
Kuhl’s fourth year with the com-
pany; the past year and three
months as sales manager.

Preston Minguses Are
Wed 22 Years, March 23
Mr. and Mrs. Preston Mingus,

Rev. Raymond L. Moore, of the
Methodist Church, Leesville, Va.
March 23. They are parents of one
daughter, Kathy Lou, a student at
Lake-Lehman High School.
The Mingus family moved to
Sweet Valley from Berwick six
years ago, where Mr. Mingus is em-
ployed at A.C[F. Industries, Inc.
Mrs. Mingus is the former June

Committeemen
The For Election
Lively Contest In
Kingston Township
As usual, there is little opposition,
either in the Republican or Demo-
cratic Parties, for nominations for
the important posts of party com-
mitteemen in the six townships and
one borough in the Back Mountain
area.
Committeemen are the represent-
atives of one party in each of the
voting districts and as such they
have their fingers on the pulse of
political trends. It is they who are
responsible for the party organi-
zation and for seeing that the vot-
ers are brought to the polls on
election days. They disburse
party funds for workers. They
make recommendations for patron-
age. They vote for the legislative
district chairmen and play an im-
portant part in selecting the Coun-
ty Chairman of their respective
parties.
It is the policy of the Democratic
Party to elect both a committeeman
and a commiftee woman in each
of the voting districts. The Repub-
lican Party elects only a committee-
man.
Committeemen of both parties
may receive as a reward for doing
a good job, patronage in the form
of a job at the Court House, or a
job in the Country Road or State
Road Department. Generally they
are more concerned about such a
job than they are about the selec-
tion of high type and capable men
as the candidates of their party.
What they seek above all else is a
winner—a man or woman who can
be elected—who can keep the party
in power and their own jobs sec-
ure,
To this end the local committee-
men must generally “ok” all pat-
ronage that comes within the
scope of hig district.
" In terms of years of service prob-
ably Shad Goss of Dallas Town-
ship with thirty years and Burt
Sutton of Lehman with almost as
many, as Republican committeemen
in the Back Mountain area.
Because the Democratic Party is
the minority party in the area, few
Democratic committeemen can boast
of such a record. The party out of
power locally has difficulty main.
taining ‘committeemen.
In the coming Primary, only in
Kingston Township will there be
any real contests for committee-
men, There two factions of the
Republican Party have a lively con-
test brewing.
In the Northeast District, Richard
Prynn will be opposed by Ralph M.
Sands; in the Northwest District,
Frederick W. Anderson and Flor-
ence Woolbert will be opposed, and
in the Southwest District Wilfred
Anderson and Vern Pritchard will
be battling it out.
In the Democratic Party, there
is no such opposition, In fact the
Party has no candidate presently for
committeemen in the Northeast
District. In the Northwest Francis
G. Youngblood (once a Republican
committeeman) and Mary L. Bon-
fig are the candidates. In the South-
west District it is William G. Press-
man and Mary R. Siegfried.
Republican and Democratic cand-
idates in all other districts are as
follows:

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1962
It is hard to believe that" the
young man seated in this ancient |
mail wagon is still carrying the mail |
to rural patrons of Dallas Post-
office, but he is, and has been
carrying ‘it for the past fifty years.
He is Milton Perrego who celeb-
rated his seventy-fourth birthday
anniversary yesterday. Milt probably
knows more pecple in the Back
Mountain area—old timers and new
timers—than any other carrier, for
he has served on all of the routes
at one time or another during his
fifty years as a substitute.
Milt started his work at the Post-
office in 1911 and this picture was
taken at his farm at Huntsville
some years later. The young man
standing between the shafts is
Dale Zimmerman Sr. now of Trucks-
ville.
Milt was born on the farm at
Huntsville on March 21, 1888, the
son of Smith B. and Eliza Allen Per-
rego. His grandfather died in And-
ersonville Prison during the Civil
War. Milt farmed with his father
and for many years drove a “kid
wagon” carrying the children to
school.
Just forty-two years ago yester-
day he married Dorothy Jacobs, of
Wilkes-Barre. She was the daughter
of C. C. and Elizabeth Morris Jac-
cbs. Her father was one of the
best blacksmiths in the valley. His
mother was a direct descendent of
Robert Morris. Revolutionary Phila.
delphia banker.
This Wasn't Any Surrey With The Fringe On Top
Their marriage was blessed with
four children: Maude, who died at
the age of 11, in 1936; Howard,
now living at 446 Elm Street, King-
ston; Elliott, Harris Hill Road,
Trucksville and Albert Emmerson
at home. Elliott has three children,
Richard, Kim and Joline.
Seldom without a cigar, Milt is a
friendly, considerate neighbor, As.
sociates at the postoffice know him
as one who is always willing to do
a little more than expected to make
their work lighter.
Recalling the old days, Milt re-
members when all of the mail for
Dallas RD 3 could be packed into
a small pounch and loaded into his
frail wagon even during the Christ-
mas season. Today an automobile
is sometime taxed to carry it all

Typical of early New England
settlements, these items of Dedham,
Mass. condensed. from the anni-
versity edition of DEDHAM TRAN-
SCRIPT, will be of interest to many
local descendants of N.E. pioneers.
Dedham was founded over 325
years ago and the newspaper 90.
First proprietors secured from
the General Court of the colony ap-
proval of the new settlement, signed
a covenant among themselves, and
thereafter operated a closed cor-
poration. Additional proprietors had
to be approved by the town meeting
and sign the same covenant. A fine
was levied for harboring an unau-
thorized person. In one roundup a
hundred persons were notified to
leave town within fifteen days as
they had not been properly ad-
mitted.
In the first allotment of land
each married man was given a
house lot of 12 acres, a meadow lot
of 12 acres, and four acres of
swamp. Single men received eight
acres instead of the 12 and three
acres of swamp. All held extensive
additional rights in the far-flung
area of the town. Granting of land
for military and other special public
service was common. The first pas-
tor served thirty-two years without
salary and at his death was the
largest landowner in town.
The settlers built houses of
boards with stone fireplace and
chimney, and hip roof covered with
thatch. They had puncheon floors
and wooden shutters on small win-
dows covered with oiled paper.
Constant watch was kept to prevent
Indian raids. In all the area there
were relatively few Indians. About
fifteen years before, a devasting
disease had swept away nearly
nine-tenths of the resident Indians.
Travel was by water. There was
a parking problem for canoes at the
river landing. A fine was levied for
borrowing a canoe without au-
thority. A couple of local town
roads were soon extended toward
Boston.
Government was by town meet-
ing, called sometimes at 6 am. in
rush seasons. Fines were imposed
for tardiness or absence from town
meeting. In 1639, seven men were
chosen to “contrive execute and
perform all the business and affairs
of this, our whole town”. Later
these were called “Selectmen”, They
were chosen for short periods, al.
though some were frequently re-
elected, served without pay, except-
ing from 1651, “that the selectmen’s
dyet upon the Town meeting days
shall be payed for by the Town from
time to time hereafter”. [Some re-
strictions were placed on their
powers and authority from time to
time.
Nature furnished an ample food
supply. There was an abundance of
fish in the ponds and rivers as well
as turtles, In the woods there were
plenty of turkeys, duck, wild pigeon,
quail, goose, partridge, deer, bear
and rabbit. Strawberries were
abundant in the spring, followed by
low blueberry, half-high blueberry,
red and black raspberries, black-
berries, cranberries, and wild
grapes.
They were beset by wolves, which
howled and kept them awake at
night and killed their pigs, goats,
and calves, also by wildcats, mo-
squitoes, and flies. Particularly dan-
gerous were the rattlesnakes, A
bounty of six pence was ordered. In

1719 penalty was paid for ninety-
five. i
All N. E. settlers suffered from
coughs, colds, lung fever (pneumo-
nia), slow fever, measles, scarlet
fever, typhoid fever, dysentary,
scurvy, - and smallpox, of which
eight died in Dedham in 1776.
There were epidemics of influenza
in 1747, 1761, and 1781.
“As in England, water was little
used for drinking purposes. Beer,
which was served with and without
meals to all members of the family,
was the liquid mainstay . . . From
many parts of England from which
most of these colonists came, baths,
as we know them, were taboo, and
faces were sometimes washed only
once a year . . .. And so the family
sat down to its simple board using
knives and spoons only to eat their
unbalanced diet served in wooden
bowls or pewter porringers, and
drank their beer or ale . .. never
forgetting to thank their Maker for
his gifts so bountifully bestowed.”
(Thurlow = S. Widger: The Birth of
New England).
A church was early established
which all were required to support
by. taxes and ‘attend, whether mem-
bers or not. Dissenters from the
official church were not as severely
treated as in some places, excepting
the Quakers. By orders of the whole
colony, these were harshly treated,
sometimes tied to the tail of a cart,
partly naked, and whipped through
all the towns until out of the juris-
diction.
Dedham had the first free school
supported entirely by public taxa.
tion, in the whole country. In 1642-
43 the town voted to set aside land,
and a school-house was built in
1648-49 having a watchtower to
look out for Indian raids. [First
teacher was Ralph Wheelock, who
held two degrees from Cambridge,
England.
About 1795 there was a great ad-
vance in stagecoaching, road build-
ing, travel, and mail service. In
1825 there were 68 lines leaving
Boston, with 317 stages in and out
each week, In 1832 there were
1600, each morning, thirty leaving
for New York. It was 100 miles to
Hartford which took sixteen hours.
“Things really hummed with the ar-
rival of the stages. The driver
would sound his horn on approach-
ing the village and a relay of fresh
horses would be brought to the door
and the horses changed. The stage
would be on its way with only one
or two minutes delay.” Horses
were changed every ten miles and
seventy-five to a hundred were
stabled at each relay point, also me-
chanics shops, coach building shops,
etc. The entire area was covered
by a thick dust all along the route.

Because our troop attended

Sunday, two Protestant girls in the
troop could not receive their award
from their own Church.
Trocp 200 has girls’ in it from

tendance this Sunday at Shaver-

gone to all of the Churches repre-
sented in Troop 200.
We consider this quite an accom-
plishment and most worthwhile so
that each girl can know how her
sister Scout worships.
The girls in this Troop will be
completing Intermediate Scouting
with the end of this year's activities
and will be ready for Senior Scouts
under new leadership.
They are very proud of their ac-

been five years of very rewarding

The Araucanas were originally
a breed in Chile, having no tail
or rump and tufts of feathers pro--
jecting from the side of the head.
The pure bred birds were practi-
cally extinct before 1927. In 1930
Mr. Ward Brower secured one male
and two females, unlike in color
and obviously not pure bred and
very healthy in appearance.
One of them soon died and eggs
from the others mostly failed to
