We'll Stick With The Independents
{ This newspaper said some months ago that the Re-
publican organization in Luzerne County was dead as a
Dodo, having committed suicide.
~ During the intervening period we have seen nothing
to change our minds!
The party has neither determined Teadership that
might, through deligent work, whip an old-fashioned
political machine into shape, nor idealistis leadership, that
could attack the support of an independent new hireed of
voters. L
It is dominated by no one of strength and it is pecked
at and picked at by a group of self-seekers whose political
philosophy dates back to 1890. They would, if they could,
emulate the ruthless tactics of the late Fine machine;
but they lack both the stature, stamina and popular appeal.
Under such circumstances it is difficult to accept
the endorsement of the party!
We, therefore prefer, to string along with the in-
dependents.
We especially like Atty. Robert Fleming of Dallas,
candidate for Representative in the Legislature from the
Sixth Legislative District.
He has everything and more than any other candidate
to make him attractive to Back Mountain Republicans.
Bob is not, and ‘never has been, a politician. His
father before him, the late Dr. John Fleming, was a re-
spected physician in Dallas for many years. Bob himself
is one of the few Back Mountain students to have entered
a school of the calibre of Harvard University without first
having preparatory school training. He did it directly
from Dallas Schools.
His war record as a flyer was a brilliant one, A man
of less modesty might have capitalized on it to the hilt.
We have never heard him mention it!
‘He has given generously to his community life, its
institutions, schools, and churches.
We can think of no reason why we should not sup-
port this man whom we have known intimately for most
of his lifetime. He is the type of young, unsophisticated,
independent and unfettered leader needed to rejuvenate
the Republican party!
If anybody can give Fred Shupnick, ‘whom we admire,
a good run in the fall—it is Bob Fleming!
Our reasons for supporting Harold Flack for State
Senator are almost identical.
After years of capable service in Harrisburg, no one
can call Harold Flack a self-seeking, politician. He is
one of the few unrepudiated Republican leaders in Luzerne
County. He has maintained the respect and support of
the electorate through fat times and thin. He has faced
the issues as he saw them and voted on them as he himself
thought best. We admire him for that—even though we
have not always agreed with him.
No matter what the Republican organization may.
think of him— it has withheld its endorsement—he
has made fewer mistakes than any of its leaders!
We think the Republican organization would have
done well to have withheld its endorsement from any
candidate in the Primaries, until it had done something
to gain the respect of the voters!

Dear Mr,
Recently I had the pleasure of
being a house guest at the home
of The Robert Rinehimers in West
Dallas, I am writing to express my
views. of Wilkes-Barre and its sur-
rounding area,
This being my first trip to Penn-
sylvania, I was very impressed with
the greater Wilkes-Barre area, There
are many reasons why this area im-
pressed me tremendously. First, it
reminds me of Hartford, Connecticut
which is also . redeveloping
business district,
arrived in Wilkes-Barre, the city
itself impressed me as being an
extremely clean and impressive city
at such a depressing time of the
year, the late winter season, Third,
I feel assured that, in the near fu-
ture, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
will be fortunate enough to receive
the “All American City Award” that
was presented to Hartford this year,
This would be another big step for-
ward in the right direction for the
greater Chamber of Commerce of
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, \
I would also like to express my
views of Dallas, Pennsylvania. The
people that I came into contact with
while visiting were very close and
hospitable to me, and they have
left an impression in my mind that
I will never forget.
Hoping to return to the Wilkes-
Barre area again in the near future,
Iam, }
Very truly yours,

NEED RECREATIONAL PROGRAM
Shavertown, Pennsylvania
188 North Main Street
April 26, 1962
Dear Mr. Risley:
Our English class is currently
studying the role of the newspaper
in our community. We feel that
through letters to the editor the
community can be informed of the
problems facing it and something
can be done,
There is a great need for super-
vised recreation for children in the
age bracket 4 - 12 in the Back
Mountain area. These children need
a place to play with children of
their own ages, .
I feel that if the school play-
grounds were equipped with super-
visors in a set up recreational pro-
gram, it would benefit the whole
community. Can't something be
done about this? I'm sure that
parents would support a program
such as this.
Thank you. |
Dallas ‘Senior High School
Yours truly, }
Linda Woolbert
® Don't we presently have too
much supervised recreation? With
Brownies, Girl Scouts, Cubs, Boy
Scouts, YMCA, Key Clubs, Future
Farmers, Future Home Makers, Lit-
tle Leagues, School Bands, Tele-
vision, Radio, when does a boy or
girl really find time to be a boy
or girl without an adult looking
over his or her shoulder? {
Gee, when I was a kid we or-
ganized our own ball teams, Scout
troops, hikes, sleigh: rides, mowed
the lawn, carried coal, tramped the
woods, fed the dog, cat and other
pets, 3
We gathered old rags, junk,
strawberry baskets, pop bottles and
did odd jobs to pay for baseball
bats, balls, gloves and a pair of
sneakers, You don’t know what
you're missing with a solicitous
adult always = looking over your
shoulder. —Editor
"MORE ON RECREATION
Highland Drive
Dallas, Pennsylvania
Dear Mr. Risleyd
Our English class is writing let-
ters to the editors of different papers
on the subjects which we think are
important,
To me the most important sub-
ject is that in our community there
is a definite and great need for
supervised recreation for teenagers,
Few people realize the importance
of the problem, People are always
complaining about teenagers roam-
‘| ing the streets or playing pool in
the near-by bowling alley. Well,
why don’t they do something about
it? Most teenagers don’t enjoy
doing these things, but if no one
will help us, what can we do? If
someone would just perk-up and
listen, possibly something could be
done.
If you could print this letter for
people to read, maybe someone
would sit-up and take notice,
Thank you, ;
Sincerely Yours

Secondly, as I |
In matters of public interest, it
sometimes leads to wide distortion
of fact to try to apply a general
view to a small local problem, or
conversely apply a local view to a
general problem. Many times a
general situation is exactly the con-
verse of what may prevail locally,
and vice versa,
'A few years ago there was a great
outcry about overcrowded schools,
and some local voices were very loud
about it, But the truth was thal
in Dallas Borough the school rooms
were not filled, in fact did not have
enough pupils for economical oper-
ation, While perhaps something
could have been said about other
improvements to be made, the
closing of the local high school on
account of being overcrowded was
exactly contrary to the facts. ‘And
this year we see put into full use
the 1878 building which was in pro-
cess of room-by-room abandonment
over thirty years ago,
For the past few years much has
been heard over the air and seen
in the public press about the great:
shortage of college accommodations
for ‘the greatly increased number
of high school and preparatory
school graduates applying for ad-
mission, or that will be applying
in a few years. But now some of
the more level headed college ad-
ministrators have awakened to the
fact that there is no such alarming
shortage at all, and never was,
There was a deluge of applications,
but not of candidates,
This was due to the same person
submitting applications to several
colleges. Some were accepted by
more than one college, actually
causing an under enrollment, when
they failed to show up at several
colleges on the same day. It has
now been determined that the
alleged shortage is caused by mul-
tiple applications, particularly to
some . prestige colleges, while many
smaller colleges are actually look-
ing for students. In recent years
three clearing houses have been
established to match up applications
and waiting colleges and the alarm-
ing shortage of accommodations has
disappeared,
Now we have an outbreak of
public discussion about the unfair-
ness of apportionment of Congres-
sional Districts, under which it is
alleged that some very small and
sparsely populated areas elect repre-
sentatives with the same voice as
much larger and heavily populated
areas.
The present Congress, at the best,
was selected on the basis of the
1950 census, In some states, new
districts have not been established
for ' decades, In the meantime,
many people have removed from
less populated areas toward the
«ities and suburbs, This has the
effect of making a representative
from the more populous areas repre-
sent more people than one from ‘a
rural area.
But a general {10s should not be
applied as true locally, In a house
of 435 members representing, in
round numbers, a hundred and eigh-
ty million, each in theory represents
about 413,000. Of course there can-
not be a fraction of a representa-
tive, so there cannot be exact
equality between states on that ac-
count. Then the Constitution gives
each state, however small, at least
one. This gives Alaska, Nevada,
Vermont and Wyoming, one each
without the average, Six states
have two each, with less than
enough people for two. Increases
and decreases in: various states,
with the admission of two new
states, have mad e substantial
changes in the allotment of some
states, Pennsylvania loses three.
In our state, the rural areas are
by no means getting away with any-
thing, Obviously no state can
create - artificial districts, of the
exact number of residents, without
complicating the election machinery.
Consequently present municipalities,
usually counties, must be grouped
or split to allot the number of con-
gressmen as no one wants to elect
the whole list in the state at large.
As of now, Philadelphia has six con-
gressmen, when their population
entitles them to only five, Under
the new law they will have five,
With population slightly less than
required for four, Allegheny has
four and will retain them.
In our own county with about
847,000 people, Dan Flood is well
under the average of 413,000, and
this is an urban ' and @ suburban
county in most respects, Small
rural counties are grouped in Ger-
rymanders to give the urban dis-
tricts the favorable conditions, Sulli-
van is grouped with Pike. Column-
bia is; in the same district with
Cameron, Union and Somerset are
together, Take a look at these on
the map,
This is the reverse of what pre-
vails in some states.
Noxen Reader Forwards Picture;
Others Recall Dr. John Corr
Delbert H. Blizzard of owen hag |
sent us this old picture of Dr, John
Corr about whom Garfield Jackson
of Harveys Lake wrote last week
in Barnyard Notes.'
Others in the Back Mountain
Region who remember the old ‘“doc-
tor” are Mrs, Hayden Richards, Leh-
man Avenue, who knew him when
he lived in Sullivan County. An-
other is H, Stanley Doll, Norton
Avenue, who recalls how Dr. Corr
used to stop at his parent's home
at Evans Falls,
“Every spring the old geitloninl
purchased a new pair of trousers
which he simply slipped on over
the ones he was already wearing.”
Dr, Corr called himself a “hygienic
physician” and sold his pictures to
all who would buy them for 5c each.
The picture gives an indication
of the bulky clothing he wore during
all seasons,
‘Although the “Doctor” said his
currect name was Carr the caption
DR, JOHN CORR
on his photograph was spelled Corr.
This may have been a typographical
error which later caused confusion
in the correct spelling of his name,

Miss Frances Dorrance,
member of the Back Mountain Mem-
orial Library, and staunch supporter
over the years since its founding
in 1945, spoke briefly to the audi-
ence af the Library Auction dinner
Thursday night, recalling the small
beginnings of the Auction.
Lewis L. LeGrand spearheaded the
venture, basing the idea on reports
which Mrs, LeGrand had received
of a group which raised $1,000 from
an auction of used household goods.
“Let's have an auction, and see
what we can raise for the Library,”
agreed the women of the Board
and of the Library Association.
Attics were emptied, recounted
Miss Dorrance, and everybody turn-
ed out to bid on washbowls and
pitchers, rocking chairs, wooden tubs
and blue. china soup plates.
A gentle rain, falling almost
continuously, failed to dampen en-
thusiasm.
It was a historic occasion ...and
it netted over $3,000 for the Lib-
rary.
From that day forth, the Library
has staged an auction every year,
sometimes bedevilled by rain, as
on the tenth anniversary, some-
times blessed with perfect weather.

It is difficult to realize that the Library Auction is sixteen years
old, - .
Tt seems like only yesterday that all of us sacrificed some of our!
treasures for that first auction.
The motto was, ‘Give something you would rather keep for
yourself.” ’
We all knew that it was a gamble Could we make any money?
It was up to all of us to try. And trying, meant parting with some-
thing we dearly loved, some special bit of glassware in a china
cabinet, a little rocking chair, a crib that still, in memory, held the
impress of a small warm body, a little oil painting that perhaps
might bring a few dollars _ .
to the Auction.
It rained, a misty rain, a drizzle, a downpour, and then again a
gentle misting. People sat on boxes, raising umbrellas over their
heads during the sharper downpours.
The flag moved in the breeze, sodden with rain.
The drizzle abated, and people closed their urebrellas.
Probably everybody will remember what it was that they
bought first, at that first Library Auction.

Sy Barnyard Notes
The most important tribute to mother in modern times occurred
in 1914 when President Wilson signed a Congressional Resolution
making the second Sunday in May a national holiday ‘‘dedicated to
the memory of the best mother in the world, your mother,”
For You, Mother, on Mother's Day
with special love and gratitude
A Mother is a wonderful creature constructed almost entire-
ly of love, and this she can express in a million ways, from hugs
and kisses, and good cooking, and patient listening to stern
lectures, strict rules, and repeated use of the word “No”! Like
snowflakes, no two Mothers are alike, but they have a number
of things in common
Name anything . . . a Mother can be found washing it,
roasting it, polishing it, getting rid of it, repairing it, spank-
ing it packing it, teaching it, redecorating it, loving it, or
talking it over at P.T.A.
A Mother cares about and for almost everything: gardens,
pets, the state of the nation, the worn spots in the rug, hungry
people, and most of all, “Father” and her children, for these she}
can do anything, dare anything, and fight for anything necessary
to their happiness,
A Mother is not always an angel. She will often disagree
with you . . . expect too much of you ... question your choice
of friends , . . and bring up the subject: of work when you feel
sthe least energetic. But she's always ready to help when you
need her. You don’t always tell a mother how much you love
her, or how much you hope the most wonderful things in the
world will come to her because there are no words that express
feelings so deep and sincere. Somehow, though, you feel she
understands what's in your heart.” Mothers’ always do! ° :
From a Rust-Craft Greeting Card
When Abidlinm’ Lincoln bécame

His mother’s last words to him were: “Be something, Abe.”

Another great American, George Washington, was also influenced
by ‘his mother. Seeing the tears in his mother’s eyes as he was
about to leave on a British Man-of-War as a mid-shipman, Wash-
ington said: “Mother I cannot go and cause you so much grief.”
Probably the greatest tribute in literature paid to motherhood
was by Joaquin Miller in his poem, “The Bravest Battle:
The bravest battle that ever was fought
Shall I tell you where and when ?
On the maps of the world you will find it not:
It was fought by the mothers of men:
Man-made memorials to motherhood can be found in all corners
of the world, The Taj Mahal of India, for example, is a monument
to a mother: Shah Jehan built it in memory of Mumtz Mahal, his

“All T am or ever hope to be I owe to my angel mother.”

Poet's Corner :
THE NOBLEST MOTHER
(In loving tribute to Mrs. William H. Hufford)
There is no nobler mother born than she
Whose gentle hands have lovingly caressed
Some little one, who orphaned and alone
Has found sweet solace on her kindly breast.
There breathes no finer mother anywhere
Than she who finds within her heart a place
For some ‘wee one whom dying hands have clasped
In one last anguished farewell and embrace.
There is no finer tribute she can ever know
So far surpassing any other
Than just to watch the wee one swiftly grow
And hear it say with pride, “This is my mother.”
