Harold Brobst
Heads Campaign
ForBob Fleming
Legislative Candidate
Will Run Strictly
As An Independent
Harold Brobst, President of Dallas
Borough Council, in a statement to
" The Dallas Post this week, has this
to say: “When Bob Fleming called
and asked me to be chairman of his
campaign for State Representative
of the Sixth Legislative District,
I might have hesitated. If I had
done so, it would have been only
because of my own limited exper-
ience in such matters. However,
I have long recognized that it is not
difficult to sell a superior product.
It seemed to me that selling a man
of Bob's qualities should not be
too difficult a job, and I therefore
accepted.”
“Events of the past three weeks
have fully justified my belief, for
throughout the Sixth District, the
reception of the Fleming candidacy
has been favorable beyond even |
my own most optimistic expecta- |
tions. |
“In what is known as the ‘Back |
Mountain area’ we are looking for |
[| a heavy vote in which we expect |
Bob to poll huge majorities. In
other areas, Bob is already pulling
ahead of the other candidates. I
personally have travelled through-
out the District to speak to local
people on behalf of Bob, only to
f find that they already know his
i qualifications and have made up
.
their minds to vote for him.”
“Wherever I ask, I find Bob is
‘CY liked and respected by his fellow
members of the legal profession,
who look upon him as an honest, |
well qualified, successful attorney, |
who has accumulated a valuable |
fund of practical experience, both in
and out of the courtroom, over the
l/ past thirteen years.” {

“He is popular with the veterans

Isaacs as its adviser in legal mat-
ters and as its Memorial Day speak-

job in both capacities.

| In summing up, Campaign Chair-
i man Brobst adds this: ‘The finest
\ tribute of all is that heard from
i . the Democratic opposition who, to
* a man, state that they would rather
see any candidate other than Bob
Flaming “win the ‘Republitan pri-
| mary, for he is the one candidate
they ave worried about this fall. It
is now mecessary for the Republican
voters to justify this tribute.
Asks Neighbors To Help
“We recoghtize that it is no easy
task to win as an independent and
that Bob, not “having ‘considered
running for office until recently,
/ has had to put his law practice
ahead of his campaign®gg in many
instances. But Bob is woxking tire-

"friends and upon all in the Sixth
District to speak out to friends and
neighbors about this candidacy, to
9.1 upon us if you want bumper
stickers, and, above all, to be sure
to get out to the polls and cast your |
ballot on May 15 for Bob Fleming.
“We do not claim that we offer
you a ‘perfect’ candidate, for no
man is, and Bob would be the last |
man to claim to be anything ap- |
proaching a ‘perfect’ candidate.
But we cannot see how we could
offer a better candidate, or a bet-
ter qualified one.”
\ Absolutely Independent
When questioned as to Attorney
Fleming's position in the Clark-
Flack senatorial contest, Brobst
said: “Bob has made it perfectly
clear that he is 100% neutral, be-
cause both Pete Clark ,and Senator
Flack are personal friends and long
time fellow residents of this com-
munity. I myself am for Pete Clark. |
Many of Bob's other staunchest
supporters, including two or more
ir members of Dallas Borough Council,
ne for Harold Flack. But Bob
remain completely neutral for he
does not feel
anything to hurt either candidate’s
chances. « This is his position, and
he will not change his position.”

The appointment was made by
NEED, Noxen ZEaterprise, Employ-
ment and Development Association,
a group of public spirited citizens
and former production workers at
the plant who are doing all in
their power to attract a new indus-
try to Noxen.
{
Aware that they are not engin- |
eers and can provide few of the 9
answers on engineering, production,
and conversion problems, they
selected Roushey as their’ technical
adviser and spokesman.
They know, however, that they
can provide skilled, intelligent and
| loyal labor for amy firm that may
| decide to establish in Noxen. In
{ fact, they can draw on a pool of
2,250 leather workers within a short
time and 200 to start work im-
mediately. ;
They also feel that the labor |

years of invaluable experience in the

During those years he became
acquainted with most of the execu- §
tives of the firm at its plants in |
| Noxen, Williamsport, Westover,
Parsons, West Virginia, and Chie-
iago. He knows the leather busi-
| ness, its production and economic
{ problems.
He is also convinced that Noxen
offers unparalleled opportunities for
an alert responsive manufacturer.
{In water alone it offers an ahund- * |
ant supply of pure mountain water
from three excellent low cost sourc-
es. It has excellent rail connections
and is within a short distance of

Dugans Are At It Again
This Time Wild Duck
The Dugans are at it again. If
it isn’t a porcupine in the cellar,
[it’s a wild duck in the chimney.
Mr. and Mrs, Paul Dugan started
{to build a fire in the fireplace one
of those chilly days last week, and
down dropped a small edition of
wild duck, soot-smeared from in-
carceration and. raring to go. The
Dugans captured it, washed off the
i soot, and took movies of the indig-
nant fowl. Released, it took off
into space like a rocket.
The place, says Mrs. Dugan, look-
led as if somebody had ripped open
{a pillow. The children insisted
{upon keeping the duck. Mrs. Dugan
