Dan Waters Recalls That
Mail Rig In Recent Post
Daniel Waters, The Post’s Old-
timer, reports that the mail wagon
shown in last week’s Post was sold
to Milton Perrego by his father,
the late James Waters, one of the
early Dallas, rural mail carriers
who served from May 16, 1906
until he resigned because of illness
on January 13, 1916.
Mr. Waters said two of the other
rural mail earriers, the late William
Franklin and the late Earl Mach-
ell, had died in service, and his
father who was also not well at-
tributed their deaths to the severe
weather and rough roads over which
they had to travel.
They also used the light postal
delivery rigs such as illustrated
last week. The rigs were too light
to handle Parcel Post which came
into being in 1912. They were hard
to ride in because of their light
springs, so Mr. Waters sold his to
Mr, Perrego and resigned from the
postal service to protect his own
health,
Dan added: “Some representa-
tive of a wagon firm had gone
through the country making a kill-
ing selling these rigs to rural mail
carriers, When they bought one
he even gave them a stick pin with
a miniature mail wagon on it.” I
still have my father’s at the
house.

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1962
Any roll call of Back Mountain
baseball greats would certainly have
to include most of the men of the
1915 Noxen Club.
This team was one of the best
ever fielded here, holding its own
against the stiff competition Wyom-
ing Valley could provide—and
Wyoming Valley during those pre-
World War 1 days was noted
throughout the east for the cali-
bre of its sandlot aggregations.
Teams: of the later day may have
been equally as good, but they nev-
er excited the enthusiasm or capt.
ured the loyalty of so many fans.
Perhaps the absence of radio and
television had something to do with
it. but when Noxen played in the
old days, a crowd followed the team
wherever it went.
‘The team sparkled with the lustre
and brilliance of men like the Hor-
lacher brothers, Mike Corgan, Bert
Stitzer and Leon Kromelbein, whose
names will be associated with Back
Mountain baseball so long as the
game is played.
First row, left to right: Robert
Horlacher (deceased; Floyd Mon-
tross, John Cleary (deceased);
Claude Williamson (deceased); Floyd
VanCampen (deceased);
Second row, Lewis Hackling, bat
boy.
Third row, Scott Horlacher, Herb-
ert Osborne, Fats LaBar, manager,
(deceased), William McKenna, Leon
Kromelbein, Harry Allen. (Stitzer,
Corgan, Loren Case, and several
others were absent when the pict-
ure was taken). )
With these men, love of the game
never dimmed, and many of them
continued to play at Noxen and in
other communities until they were
well into middle age.
Bob' Horlacher was a top notch
right handed pitcher, and superior
batter, He later entered the auto-
mobile business in Tunkhannock as
a partner in Horlacher and Sher-
wood. His brother ‘Scott, a fast
center fielder, is now in the elec-
trical business in Tunkhannock.
Herbert Osborne, first base, was on
the police force in Jobnson City
and Baltimore; William McKenna,
third base, is a retired employee
of Armour Leather Company. Leon
Kromelbein, brilliant left-handed
pitcher, pitched for Wyoming Sem-
inary and later entered the auto-
mobile business in Tunkhannock.
He died from a heart attack while
watching a Dallas Township-Tunk-
Here Are Some Of The Regions Greatest Baseball Players
'hannock football game in Dallas.
Harry Allen, retired Harveys Lake
miller and rural mail carrier, hand-
led several positions including pit-
cher.
Floyd VanCampen, probably the
oldest member of the team, covered
second base. He was a retired ‘em-
ployee of Armour Leather Comp.
any at the time of his death.
Claude Williamson, catcher, Syra-
cuse University student, later be-
came an engineer with Pennsylvan-
ia Power & Light Company in
Allentown, His mother, Margaret,
and sister, Helen, were for years
teachers in Noxen schools.
Floyd Montross handled any pos-
ition in the outfield. He now lives
in Beaumont. John Cleary, son of
the superintendent of Noxen Tan-
nery, played first base and in the
outfield.
Loren Case, retired Armour Leath.
er Company employee, covered short-
stop, Mike Corgan, Luzerne, de.
ceased, was a bulwark of strength
behind the bat as was Bert Stitzer,
retired Shavertown carpenter, who
was the regular catcher and played
with the team for many years.

Through the efforts of Donald

Arriving in the morning they were
conducted through the school and
allowed to observe our classes. At
the afternoon assembly, opening
remarks were made by Dallas Rotar-
ians including our own Superin-
tendant, Dr. Robert: Mellman.
Following this, a panel discussion
was held. Members of the panel
were those we have already ment-

Another common sotiins rank-

place of talcum powder or as anti-
septic for nipples it should be stored
in a safe place—in a locked cabi-

become a danger. {
In disposing of drugs or harmful

All of thes students acted as guides

The discussion itself, proved to
be very informative with questions
being asked anywhere from “Are

We are sure that the rest of the

We're Sorry
We would like to express our
apologies to Arline Miller and’ Char-

roles in the assembly put on by
Miss Guerra and her English class-

Ellen and Charles McCuen played
the singing cowboy. He played his
own guitar and sang “the Farmer
and the Cowboys Can’t be Friends.”
They both did a fine job in their
respective roles.
