More voices are protesting the inadequacy and in-
equity of HR 7927, the postage rate bill passed by the
House of Representatives. As written, it is evident that
+ it will do serious harm to newspapers and magazines with-
out giving real help to the Post Office.
John Gunther,
the author, voiced the misgivings of many in a letter to
The New York Times.
If passed also by the Senate, says Gunther, the bill
“will almost certainly destroy serious periodical literature
in the United States” by “fantastically unjust and exa
cessively steep increases in’ the second and third class
- postage rates’.
“the grisly mulligatawny of sex, crime, joke books and
comic books” sold on newsstands while penalizing the
He points out this would leave untouched
serious magazines largely delivered to subscribers by mail.
_ “This is too high a price to pay for the relatively
insignificant portion of postal revenue involved,” says
The New York Times in an editorial urging that the
Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee appraise
the consequences of the proposed increases.
In an article which should be required reading for
all who do read and titled, ‘‘Second-Class Mail Rates Can
Ruin First-Class Magazines”, the April Readers Digest
points out some of these. The proposed increase, for ex-
ample, would add $91,000 to the annual postage bill of
the Atlantic Monthly, which dates from 1857. This addi-
tional burden is more than seven times the before.tax
profit the magazine earned in 1961.
Most farm publications are delivered by mail. The
Farm Journal, which has not made a profit in either of
the last two years, is faced with an increased postage bill
of at least half a million dollars a year.
When The New York Times observes that the pre-
sent provisions of the bill “will cut off outlets for creative
literature and public enlightenment”, it is indulging its
penchant for understatement. More simply put, if itis
the desire of the US Senate to strangle the press of the
nation, it'need only rubber-stamp the House bill.
It should be no news to the Senators that the fate
of the press, and especially the newspapers, is the fate
of Freedom.

NOT LOOKING AHEAD
Dear Sirs:
Some people could move to Hong
Kong and still hold tight to their
Back Mountain ideas. Others see the
progressiveness about them and try
to awaken the sleeping Back Moun-
tain.
I'm not referring to Arlington
County alone, because I have been.
to a small town in New Jersey
and have also visited their schools
and have seen the progressiveness
| there.
Mrs. Gries seemed to take a
different meaning than I of the port-
ion of Mr. Lancio’s letter regarding
smoking in the High School. Smok-
ing in the class room is of course
ridiculous, but I do not believe that
is what Mr. Lancio had in mind.
I do, however, believe that the
people of the Back Mountain are
not looking far enough ahead in
preparing for the future. Some peop-
le in Dallas are aware of this fact,
but what are they doing about
it.
Concerned Reader
L.S.
REPLIES TO MRS. GRIES
Dear Sir:
I have just read The Dallas Post
and Mrs. Gries’ wonderful little
epistle. By the sound of her let-
ter, she needs a course in reading
comprehension.
1. I do not TELL people who
to vote for, only suggest.
2. Idid not say smoking should
be allowed in the CLASSROOM
only on the grounds, and this
was used along with the teach-
ing of Psychology only as an
example.
3. I did mot call anyone an
' “idiot” with regard to fluori-
dation of water. :
I love Dallas also—it is my home
—and will always be “home,” that
is why I am trying to help my
town. But, I suppose there were
people against Penicillin, airplanes,
and any speed over 40 miles an
hour, just as there are people to-
day who are against fluoridation of
water, “the bomb” and Progress in
general. Yes, I am entitled to my
opinion and hope more people share
it than Mrs. Gries seems to think.

COMFORT FOR THE EDITOR
Dear Mr. Risley:
Today I was working at the Counc-
il of Churches office in Wilkes-
Barre and the lady who works there
all the time had an editorial cut
out of a magazine.
She showed it to me. I thought
it was so good that I made a
copy and am making another copy
for you to put in the paper.
SIC SEMPER EDITORIALIS
“We recently heard about an
editor who explained away the mis-
takes that crept into his publication
with the following note:
“If you find any errors, please
consider that they appear for the
benefit of those readers who al-
ways look for them. We try to print
something for everybody—

Hope you can use it somewhere

THE DALLAS POST,
Ja
El
Ed
1898 was a war year. The follow-
ing items condensed from THE
DALLAS POST of the period cover
local people involved:
Carver W. Jackson, 20, Co. B,,
Ninth Regt. P: V,, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jabez C. Jackson of Harveys
Lake, died at the Lake. He was one
of the first to volunteer and was
sent with his regiment to Camp
Thomas, Chicamauga Park, where
he contracted a fever: He improved
somewhat and was brought home
by hospital train but later suffered
a relapse.
Miss Estella Fell, bookkeeper at
Rymans Store, has a brother in serv-
ice in the Phillipines, George Bid-
well, son of Mr. and Mrs. A: W.
Bidwell was enroute to the same
place,
Henry Heller enlisted and went
to Fortress Monroe last week.
Private John Anderson, who has
been suffering with typhoid fever
contracted at Camp at Chicamauga,
is some better: Then a few issues
later, he is reported having suffered.
relapse.
Mr. John J. Ryman is presenting
his friends and customers with some
neat blotters ornamented with the
United States ahd Cuban flags.
Ward Chapin, Co. E, 9th P.V. is
home after a. long illness in
‘Kentucky.
Truman Barker, a member of Co.
F, 9th. Regt. reached home on a
sick furlough. He has been ill with
typhoid fever at Chicamauga Park
but was convalescent. He has lost
fifty pounds.
Old soldiers are requested to get
their pork and beans ready for the
re-union of Co. F, 53 regt. P.V. at
Harveys Lake, Sept. 10.
Nov. 14, 1898 war-graph pictures
of the “late” Spanish War were pre-
sented at the Methodist Church.
Teddy Roosevelt's charge in Cuba
and the capture of Manila were
featured. Newspapers were carrying
feature stories of Manila, then a
city about as large as San Francisco.
Newspapers were also carrying a
chronological history of the war al-
lowing a couple of inches of space
to the more important items. The
whole history took only a little
over one column, beginning with
BOOSTERS RUN IN FAMILIES.
Dear Mr. Editor:
It is with great concern for our
area that I write to you at this
time.
I am rather tired of constantly
hearing people complain about the
greater Wilkes-Barre area. To me,
if the people who complain can-
not: make . constructive criticism,
then they should migrate to an-
other area where they will find
happiness.
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and
its surrounding towns have recent-
ly passed through a decade of
troublesome years. Now, things seem
to look more prospective and pros-
perous, especially economically. Thig
can be seen by the intaking of new
industries to the area by the Chamb-
er of Commerce. Naturally, just as
in’ building this college, there are
going to be trouble spots in build-
ing our area. There will be those
organizations and citizens who come
ito the area to lve or operate
for a period of a few months and
suddenly discover that their choice
was wrong. They will leave in dis-
gust and = will warm others not
to come here. But, on the other
hand, those who stay and do ex-
ceptionally well will pass on the
word that our area is not as bad
as others claim. By staying, they are
showing an interest in wanting to
help build their home. After all,
the reputation of the area also
means the reputations of their busi-
ness in a big way.
There is at the present, trouble
with two major airlines who are
trying to eliminate service to the
Wilkes-Barre - Scranton Airport due
to the fact that they are losing
great sums of money, Whether or
not they should be allowed to leave
is ‘a matter that will be handled
by other hands than ours—even
though we can voice our opinions.
I suggest that if they are definitely
losing money in the Wilkes-Barre

Maine on Feb. 15, 1898 in Havana
Harbor and ending with the signing
of a protocol, in Washington, by
Secretary Day and the French Am-
bassador representing Spain on
Aug. 12.
There were several changes in the
postoffice about this time. G. M.:
Hileman relinquished the office
after inspectors had found faults
with his accounts, and former post-
master John J. Ryman took over.
Frank F. Morris took over about
1900 and moved to half of the
building occupied by White's Meat
Market. ‘Some additional equipment
was placed.
The POST was given to flowery
obituary notices at the time. Among,
deaths reported were: Mrs. Mar-
garet A. Worden, widow of Sidney
Worden, daughter of pioneer Elijah
‘Ayers; Enoch Riley, 82, father of T.
Jeff. and Marvin Riley; Rev. J: G.
Eckman, presiding elder of the
Wyoming District, Wyoming Con-
ference; John Sinowicz killed with
his horse when struck by lightning
near Archbald; an: infant son of
Coursen Hauck; Ira D. Shaver, one
of the oldest ‘and most prominent
citizens of the town; Mrs. Drayer
Billings, Tunkhannock; Mrs. Peter
E. Williams; Mrs. Conrad Kunkle of
Kunkle; Miss Headly, school teacher
at Orcutts Grove, burned to death
when her apartment on the second
floor caught fire; Francis Rolison,
5, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Roli-
son; Joseph Dolan, shot himself in
his livery table in the rear of the
C. A. Frantz store; Margaret Hagan,

Hagan; Frances Baur, one, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Baur; Perry
S. Billings, 69, Tunkhannock; A. H.
Kirkendall, son of Mr. and Mrs.
James W. Kirkendall; John Stout,
Stull, killed when he jumped from
a L.V.RR. excursion train; Vincent
E. Hoover, struck by a falling limb
while cutting timber; Patrick Coyle,

stop, then they should do what they
desire to do. Other airlines who are
trying to increase their profits will
more than likely try to stay here.
I believe there are one or two who
have already asked for this per-
mission.
Presently, we cannot be bothered
with those who are unhappy or who
will be a hindrance, It is best that
they leave, and those who are wil-
ling to work as a team and really
pitch in and build our area morally
and economically should stay. It
will take awhile, but those who
leave now will someday be sorry—

Ever have a name on the tip of your tongue, but when you
start to use it, the tongue won't mind?
Just a few days ago a truck driver walked into the Dallas Post, x
and spotted the glass-fronted case of stuffed birds.
“That's the one,” he exulted, “that’s the one that eats all
those red berries, and then you walk under a tree, and wham, he's
got you. What's his name?”
He pointed out the olive colored bird with the trim, slim wings,
the black spectacles, the fringe of yellow on the tail, up in the
Northeast corner of the case.
“Sure,” 1 told the truck driver happily, “there are loads of
them around. Bird books tell you that they will sit in a row on
a branch and pass the berries down the line, from bill to bill. Pretty
cute, huh?”
The truck driver bored in. “What's its name?”
“Oh shoot, it’s on the tip of my tongue. I'll have it in a minute.”
And there it remained, on the tip of the tongue.
Members of the Bird Club will not be required to phone in, a
tribute to my lack of coordination between tongue and brain.
I KNOW it’s a cedar waxwing.
But it always sounds like a flycatcher. And there is no known
system of mnemonics that will deliver that name straight out of the
blue, without going through the flycatcher series first. Once you
construct small threadlike channels in your brain, you have to
pursue them down blind alleys.
with flycatcher in order to arrive at cedar, the deeper the channels
become. 3
Thinking machines become so adept at working up channels
that it is very difficult to reroute them, as in IBM.
When I meet you on the Stréet and exchange cordial greetings
DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA
And the oftener you have to start
without mentioning your ‘name, it probably is because I am saying
nursery rhymes, attempting to touch the proper: button which will
spill out the name. = There is one perfectly lovely woman out
Kunkle way, whose name has to be rummaged out of a nursery
rhyme. :
And the two names “Young” and “Jones” are always synony-
mous, and have to be carefully sorted out by an intricate system.
Then, in the middle of ‘the night, it all becomes crystal clear,
There is that olive colored bird handing me a berry . . . .
Oh dear, what IS that ‘bird’s name?
