MORE THAN A NEWSPAPER, A COMMUNITY INSTITUTION
Judge Ben Jones
Says Award Is
Well Deserved
States Community,
In Honoring Editor,
Is Honoring Itself
Community response to the annual
" dinner of Back Mountain Protective
Association Monday night at Irem
Country Club, said more plainly than
the spoken word, its gratification
that Howard Risley, editor and
owner of the Dallas Post, had been
chosen to receive the award of
the year for outstanding service to
the area.
“We may not always agree with
him,” said Todstmaster Atty. James
Lenahan Brown, “but we always
know exactly where he stands on
any given question. His pronouncec-
ments are not always popular, but
they are sincere.”
Speaker the Honorable Benjamin |
R. Jones reminisced about his for-
mer classmate at Seminary, where
he and Howard had been thrown
much together. “Unfortunately,”
said the Judge, “our paths for a
time diverged. He went to Dart-
mouth. But as the years passed, this
was forgiven him, and during the
past several years, we have been
drawn more closely together,”
Atty. Brown, in introducing Judge
4 Jones, reminisced that it was be- |
ore his father, another Judge
Jones, that he had himself first ap-
peared before'the bar. And it was a
strict lawgiver who presided over
the court. fe
Judge Ben said that there was
only one subject which would. di~
/@p vert Mr. Risley for more than
moment from working for his chosen
community, and that was the Civil
War. Drop the name of Shilo, or
Antietam, or Gettysburg into a cas-
ual conversation, and the horses were
off to the races, with the newspaper
business momentarily forgotten.
The Judge then left Mr. Risley for

Donald Weidner
Hurt At Library
Donald Weidner seriously injured
the toes of his right foot Saturday
afernoon when he slipped on some
daffadil leaves while cutting the ter-
races at Back Mountain Library
with a rotary power mower.
He was given first aid treatment
| by Dr. Harry G. Gallagher and re-
|'ceived further treatment at Nesbitt
| Hospital where it was iound that
| one toe was fractured and eight
| stitches were required to close
| lacerations of two others.
The injuries might have been
| more serious had Mr. Weidner not
| been wearing heavy composition-
| soled hightops, The swiftly re-
volving blade of the mower com-
pletely sheared them in two.
Fortunately, Mr. Weidner, who
{ suffered polio a number of years
ago, was wearing a larger shoe than
usual on his smaller foot. Had it
| he would have lost half of it.

He suggested that the Back Moun- |
tain Protective Association take
planned development as a project,
acting as the conscience of the Back
Mountain; tthat such planning should
not consider the challenge on a
piecemeal basis, but as a whole.
He concluded his remarks by say-
ing that in honoring Mr. Risley, the
community was honoring itself; that
every worthwhile project in the Back
Mountain that had been initiated
s'nce Mr. Risley took over the Dallas
Post more than thirty years ago, had
been supported enthustiastically by
the local paper, and that most of
the ideas for betterment had been
originated in its pages and accord-
ing to its editorial policy. He cited
as prime examples the establishment
of the Library and its continued
support through the annual Library
Auction.
Mr. Brown, thanking Judge
Jones, said “The highway IS com-
ng. All that is holding it up at,
"this point is a matter of a couple
more condemnations. It won't be
long now.” He added that the Pro-
Bctive Association was already send-
ing representatives to zoning and
planning meetings, and called atten-
tion to the land-use meeting sched-
uled for Tuesday night at Dallas
Senior High School.
Atty. Brown presented the award
to Mr. Risley:
In response, Mr. Risley said that
he could not accept it for himself,
but in the name of the Dallas Post,
“a community institution that was
here before I was born, and that will
be here after I am gone, I accept it
in behalf on all those who have had
faith in this wonderful community.”
No human being, he said, could
help but be deeply moved . . and
very humble. “I am deeply touched
because this award comes from a
community which I have loved so
long . - whose problems have been
my problems, and whose struggles,
my struggles.”

signed to broaden their outlook,
and provide more solid meat in their
mental diet.
He said that schools would have
to be equipped with up to date re-
search facilities to keep pace with
advancing technological require-
ments.
Classes, he suggested, might be-
come on the one hand larger, as vis-
ual aides were employed, and small-
er, for conference purposes. Litera-
ture would have to be more adult,
libraries improved, supplementary
texts and films increased. School dis-

Parents Advised
To Be Their Age
A panel of students at Dallas
Senior High School, composed of
Barbara ‘Tag, Marlene Futch, John
Dana, Dale Mosier, answered ques-
tions posed Tuesday night by a
Earl Phillips, George Jacobs, and
William Wright, Warren Yarnal,
moderator.
Findings, says Mrs. Paul Rodda,
were revealing.
Students feel more secure if they
are restricted. .
One of their complaints was that
parents expect too much buddy-
buddy relationship from their chil-
dren, It isn’t normal. Let the par-
ents stop trying so hard; set a good
example themselves, and cut out in-
cluding children in cocktail parties
and adult entertainment.
And far from shrinking from the
world which the adults are handing
to them, students consider it a
challenge and are eager to meet it.
Who says it's chaos? ;
Drinking, smoking, are symptoms.
Kids smoke because it seems a sym-
bol of maturity.
William Wright said; ‘Sure, we
know where the bars are that are
selling liquor to boys and girls. But
somebody tips off the proprietors.
‘When the raiders walk in, it's like
a Sunday School.”
The consensus was that parents
stop griping about juveniles delin-
quency, and study their . own
standards.
