~ Editorially Speaking:
One of the happier features of American life is the
fact that our greatest men, our authentic geniuses, are
also generous spirits who amid all the pressures of suc
cess find time to help others and serve their communities
in countless human ways. They not only make important
contributions themselves but inspire others to do so.
The frail Charles P. Steinmetz, General Electric's
great scientist, was such a figure. His myrid kindnesses
to the old and young, especially the young, are brilliantly re
counted by Floyd Miller in a new biography, “The Hunch-
back of Liberty Hall”, which is condensed in the
June Reader’s Digest. We recommend that you read it and
see what you can do for your community. >
A sickly German immigrant less than five feet tall
who was almost turned back by the immigration people,
Steinmetz by genius and courage became one of the great-
est engineers of the early electrical industry. He solved
problems, which enabled power to be transmitted long dis-
tances. He dared to duplicate and study lightning.
+ At the same time, he entertained neighbor children,
taught at Union College in Schenectady, was elected by
some of the students to the local chapter of Phi Gamma
Delta and took an active role in the fraternity. He served
as president of the school board. Unwilling to risk trans-
mitting his deformity but yearning for family life, he lit-
erally adopted a family.
An example of the kindness and imagination of Stein-
metz cited in the Digest involved Clyde Wagoner, a news-
paper man who had just gone to work for G.E. as a one-
man news bureau.He needed a page one story but had only
the sale of 60,000-kilowatt turbine to Commonwealth Edi-
son in Chicago. He saw nothing dramatic in the turbine
and appealed to Steinmetz.
‘Nothng dramatic? said the cigar-smoking little
hunchback. “Well, lets see.” He picked up a pencil and
began to figure rapidly on a sheet of paper. By calculations
‘involving kilowatts, horsepower and manpower and not-
ing that men work only eight hours a day while turbines
work 24, figured the turbine would produce as much en-
ery as 5,400,000. men.
“Now, the slave population in 1860 was 4,700,00,”
Steinmetz concluded. “I suggest you send out a story that
says we are building a single machine that, through the
miracle of electricity will each day do more work than the
combined slave population of the nation at the time of the
Civil War.” ;
.- Put in these terms, the story appeared properly on
the front pages of newspapers all over the country.

SPONSOR'S IMAGE — Gillette
Safety Razor Company has the larg-
est TV sports budget of any company
in the nation.
Recently they took a survey of 500
Boston men to see if the fatal beat-
ing Benny (Kid) Paret took from
Emile Griffith on the March 24th
show has lessened the viewers in-
terest in TV fights and if the sport
could harm Gillette’s reputation by
association
The survey showed that neither
had been affected. What the poll did
reveal was that 68 percent of the
men listed football as their favorite
sport on TV, then followed baseball,
boxing, horse racing and wrestling.
Wrestling is the most disliked
sport on Boston TV, 2-1 over horse
racing,
The men said rock’n roll and
crime-mystery. shows: and quiz pro-
grams hurt televison’s reputation far
more than any sport, including
wrestling. : A
While 71 per cent of Bostonians
fear ‘that the fight range from ‘“al-
most dishonest” to = “Sometimes
dishonest,” 62 per cent still think
they're good to have on TV: and 24
per cent watch them faithfugy every
week.
'A separate survery taken for Gil-
lette by the Nielsen TV rating sys-
tem showed that the Paul Pender-
Terry Downes ‘title bout drew very
few more viewers than the ordinary
fights. That's the reason they're not
interested in paying. $150,000 for a
Pender Gene Fullmer match.
Gillette budget covers the Wo'rld
Series, the two all-star games, The
Rose Bowl and North-South football
games, the weekly fights and a piece
of the Wide World of Sports pro-
gram. Latest addition is a one-quar-
ter sponsorship of every American
Football League game next season,
at a cost of $1,750,000.
Gillette is one sponsor who cer-
tainly seems to give the men what
they want both in products and ad-
vertising entertainment.
REPEAT OF A HIT — A repeat
telecast of “The Judy Garland
Show” will be repeated by CBS-TV
in September.
The show included Frank Sinatra
and Dean Martin and consisted
mostly of Judy doing an excellent job
of singing one song after another.
Judy is one star who had made
very few television appearances but
one of her old movies, “The Wizard
of Oz” has become a television
classic. Tt will be presented for the
fifth time this December
COMMERCIALS — The cleverest on
television are Mike Nichols ‘and
Elain May for the beer companies.
They are actually enjoyable.
The most offensive can be found
on the Lawrence Welk show. Anyone
who has watched a complete program
knows which one.
BING CROSBY turned down Vince
Edward’s request for a raise. Seems
like Dr. Ben Casey will have to con-
tinue on a resident’s salary. He is
presently receiving $1500 a week
and he asked to have it increased
to’ $7500. For a while it looked as
though he would get it.
One In Eight
Gets Benefits
Over $37,000,000 annually is now
being received by 46,396 Luzerne
County residents under the old-age,
survivor,, and disability insurance
provisions of the social security law,
according to Christopher G. Boland,
Manager of the Wilkes-Barre Social
Security Administration District
Office.
This is an increase of 12% ‘over
‘the rate paid a year ago. Based on
the 1960 census, over 13% of the
residents of Luzerne County, or over
one out of every eight, are receiving
benefits. Boland pointed out that al-
though ‘$37,000,000 is a very signifi-
cant sum in itself, it actually has a
greater beneficial effect on the local
economy because the money is used
almost immediately in most cases
to buy food, clothing and other ne-
cessities.
At the present time, over one
billion dollars a month is being paid
throughout the mation. In Pennsyl-
vaia, over 78 million dollars is paid
each month. "
Boland explained that a combin-
ation of the local employment situ-
ation and changes in the social se-
curity law resulted in the increase
in total benefits and in the number
of beneficiaries. Less work is now
needed to qualify for benefits.
Many unemployed, part-time, or
low-earnings workers apply for re-
duced benefits at age 62. He stated
that under the social security law,
a worker who is at least 62 years
of age throughout the year, can
receive some social security ‘bene-
fit upon applying if his earnings do
not exceed $1800 for the year or if
he does not earn over $100 in any
on month. Even if total earings for
the year are much greater, he still
may receive some benefits depend-
record, or if there are other mem-
bers of his family who can qualify
on his account.

Rambling Around
By The Oldtimer—D. A. Waters
EC C2 EE EE LEC ESC ETI ;
[He]
In general reading during the past
ered a lot of information about the
way of life of American women.
Paul A. W. Wallace in Indians In
Pennsylvania, says the Delaware In-
dian women were highly efficient in
preparing two meals a day based on
the three staples: corn, beans, and
pumpkins, Corn was prepared in a
dozen ways. These foods were sup-
plemented by. insects, fish, flesh,
fowl, potatoes, wild peas, chestnuts,
hickory nuts, hazlenuts, wild grapes
and plums, crabapples, cranberries,
huckleberries, strawberries, black-
berries, gooseberries, whortleberries,
bilberries, and’ raspberries. They
made preserves of berries and crab-
apples, and also made maple sugar.
Food was preserved by drying in
the sun or over ga fire.
New England pioneer women had
about the same natural supplies.
They baked beans, brown bread,
pies, and cakes in the oven beside
the fireplace. Frying. and broiling
was done.in' a skillet set on coals
and boiling was done im a pot sus-
pended from a crane over the fire.
Meat was ‘suspended from roasting
Later fin ovens were introduced.
The women made candles, soap,
medicine and yeast. They cared for
the milk and made cheese and but-
ter. They fed the hens and gathered
eggs. ‘Wool and flax had to be pre-
pared and spun into woolen cloth
and linen. Some made the family
clothes. There was always washing
to do by hand. The family beer, the
common drink, was usually made
pictures in Samuel Chamberlain’s,
“Open House in New England”, the
most . interesting are the old kit-
chens, with big fireplaces, the fam-
ily center until about the time of
the Revolution.
It cannot be denied that life was
hard for the women, not only in
the earliest days but for many years
thereafter. With large families, and
sometimes slaves, there was a lot
of help, but many women died
young.
In general, education of women
was neglected, but there were a
lot of exceptions. In Connecticut,
as related by W. Storrs Lee in ‘The
Yankees . of Connecticut”, Sarah
Pierce opened the first school for
girls in the country at Litchfield in
1792 which lasted for decades.
Other schools included the Goodrich
School at Norwich, The Hartford
Female Seminary, Miss Porter's at
Farmington, Golden Hill at Bridge-
port, Grove Hall at New Haven, Fe-
male Seminary at Windsor, and St.
Margaret's at Waterbury. Emma
Hart Willard, a pioneer educator
went to Vermount and later to Troy
N.Y.
Many state universities were co-
educational. In the east, Vassar,
Smith, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, and

Dear Mr, Risley:
The school is growing rapidly and
it is our hope to start building with-
in the year in order to provide more
adequate facilities for the children,
Much more in the line of equip-
ment is still needed but fortunate
enough to be chosen by the Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary in the North-
eastern shore area to be the re-
cipients of special equipment for
teaching the handicapped,
Most of our youngsters are ‘those
diagnosed as being brain injured
but we have a limited mongoloid
population. Also we have admitted
two schizophrenic children for the
purpose, not only of helping them,
but eventually to help other autis-
tic children.
Because we have planned a close-
ly structured program based on a
24 hour day we do not admit stu-
dents on a day basis, Visits from
parents are allowed once every
five weeks, Thanksgiving, Christmas
and Easter holidays are spent at
home as are the summer months.
When our new buildings are finished
we plan to extend our program to
eleven months.
The work is demanding but grati-
fying, When a little boy diagnosed
as aphasic begins understanding

men's colleges had affiliated wo-
men’s colleges. Women, were ad-
mited to over « three-quarters of
the colleges by the opening of this
century. 3
Mr. Chamberlain recites the story
of Mrs. Sarah Bradford Ripley of
Concord, who tutored Harvard stu-
dents in French, German, Italian,
Latin, Greek and Hebrew, regretting
that though she could read Sanscrit,
she could not speak it. She was in-
terested in higher mathematics, as-
tronomy, botany, chemistry, history,
and philosophy. She had seven
children and said the finest thing
she could do!was to make a pie
i her husband really enjoyed.
Then there was Mrs. Sarah
Josepha Hale, who lived in’ New
Hampshire, Baston, and later Phila~
| delphia, who edited Godey’s Lady's
‘Book for over forty years, but is
best remembered for her poem
“Mary Had A Little Lamb”. Most

writers in America came: from: New
England, such as’ Anne Bradstreet,

Emily Dickinson, Louisa May Alcott,
Amy. Lowell, and a lot of more
modern ones. .
The 1962 Information Please Al-

tion that women acquired the vote,
nationally, in 1920; a seat in Con-
gress in 1916; a U.S. Senator, 1932;

The SplitLevel Trap by Richard
E. Gordon, M.D., Katherine K. Gor-
don, and Max Gunther,’ gives a
serious discussion and plenty of ex-
amples of the modern American wo-
men in suburban areas in «which
everyone is mobile, and trying to
climb. It appears that, with good
educations and other advantages,
and all modern equipment and com-
veniences, many women are no hap-
pier than in more strenous times.
Dr. Gordon says that the suburbs
are full of obedient parents and
spoiled, lazy, materialistic children.
No one has cracked down on them.
They take what they want because
they earn it. He calls them, “The
Gimme Kids.”
It is only fair to say that not all
modern suburban women live in a
country club atmosphere and are
fit subjects for a psychiatrist like
Dr. Gordon. A few miles from Dallas
we recently met a young woman,
mother of a large family which she
cares for, who keeps a face and fig-
ure that would pass in Hollywood,
and still finds time to help her hus-
band in outside duties around the

INCOME TAX
Dear Editor:
It is necessary in a nation like
ours for each citizen to pay his
income tax to finance the national
economy.
The Majority of the people of
the United States take seriously the
filing of their income tax forms, for
all their griping. They either com-
plete their forms honestly or pay
their rightful tax through payroll
deductions.
However, among the owners of
big business are those who take ad-
vantage of the rights and privileges
given to them by our government,
using the philosophy “Take all;
give nothing.” The government must
spend its time and money investi-
gating the tax returns of these ava-
aricious people - an example being
the recent case of the owners of the
Knox Coal Company, who were

Ago In The Dallas Post
IT HAPPENED J() YEARS AGO:
Richard Crosby, retired partner in
the firm of Risley and Crosby, after
spending many years in an executive
capacity at Noxen Tannery, died sud-
denly from an acute heart attack.
Dallas Borough directors elevated
Miss Emily Hill to the High School
faculty, and engaged Miss Diamond
again as business teacher.
American Stores opened a branch
at Harveys Lake for convenience of
summer visitors.
Everybody was getting ready for
Memorial Day. Tottering veterans
of the Civil War were still about.
The country, deep in the depression,
had no inkling of the Second World
War, only nine years away.
Plans were being made to improve
fallen into a sad state of upkeep.
rr HAPPENED 2) YEARS AGO:
‘Dallas Township was looking for-
ward to graduation: of 44 seniors;
Lake Township 18; Lehman, 41;
a record attendance at Memorial Day
observance. Some of the prepara-
tions included borrowing of twice as
much snow fence barrier as was used
the ‘year before. Brickel’s horse-
drawn hearse was to appear in. the
parade. ]
A blackout drill saw paratroopers
landing at Irem Country Club, a
school blaze, strictly mythical, which
none of the firefighters could locate,
and enthusiastic cooperation’ from
all residents of the Back Mountain.
Only one light was noted in the Dal-
las area during the entire blackout.
Servicemen were urged to attend
Memorial day exercises in uniform.
Bill Renshaw, home on leave in
Idetown, recounted how he helped
sink three German submarines:
Pikes Creek Fife and Drum Corps
expected to play all the old Civil
‘War tunes in the Memorial Day
Parade. They might not be a snappy
outfit, led by a prancing majorette,
and they might specialize in sciatica
and balding domes, but they were a
lively bunch nonetheless.
The service men say the Dallas
Post is like a letter from home: Rich-
ard Williams, Camp Edwards; Calvin
Ferrell, Fort Bragg; Bill Dierolf,
Virginia; Charles Mekeel; Don Gabel,
Fredericksburg; Howard Carey, about
to go overseas. Good luck, boys.

found guilty of tax evasion. As a
result, each year the Bureau of In-
ternal Revenue is cheated out of
millions of dollars and the tax payer
must pay additionally for the tax
investigations.
The evasion of tax, this lack of
obedience to the law, and big bus-
iness showing a lack of responsibility,
is leading to a very sick society.
Since these men and businesses fre-
quently appear in the public light,
people wrongly assume that they
are leaders of our nation. If these
people disobey the law what is the
citizen to assume ?
Whatever he assumes the citizen
must always remember to follow his
own conscience and not the example
of the public figure. If he will, the
ultimate result could well be lower
taxes and, more important, a strong
nation.

There are a number of young married women out here in the
Back Mountain who used to live in Kingston or Forty-Fort, and |
once attended Barbara Hicks’ dancing classes on Park Place. It was
quite a thing, offered free of charge neighborhood children and their
friends, and it always wound up with a bang at a May Party.
It will be no surprise to these mothers, now with children of
their own, to hear that Barbara stuffed a crocodile last week. in
anticipation of the spring recital, in Virginia, filling gunnysacks
tipped with claws, for waddly legs, and making rolling sequin eyes.
The crocodile, of course, was having a clock mounted in his
innards, so that he could appear in Peter Pan.
The whole business, being developed on he grass alongside the
car at the American University, in between classes ,was intriguing
to the other students who happened by in the warm spring sun-
shine, as the tan and the crocodile developed simultaneously. °
Maybe some of the girls who used to come to dancing classes
Saturday morning will remember the year that the dragon was a
feature of the entertainment, with a nimble St. George leaping about
before those ferocious looking jaws, and finally slaying the critter.
It let down, as I recall it, joint by joint, collapsing in a froth of sea-
green on the porch floor as St. George wiped his sword.
I was a lot of fun . . , and a lot of work.
Those costumes for the May Party, coming in drifts of rainbow
percale to the sewing machine right after the costumes for the Star-
Dust Revue had slid down the other side, just about wound up the
costume requirements for the year.
One advantage of being permanently out of the costume business
is that I no longer get snowed under each spriing, There was a time -
when I could face 200 costumes with a reasonably easy mind, putting
them on the assembly line in batches in sizes small, medium and
large, and making necessary adjusments to accommodate the stylish
stouts as well as the ‘wraiths. (That = was before I started -
newspapering.) : ;
. ‘But crocodiles and dragons are something else again, They take
considerable doing. Fortunately they seldom hunt in couples, because
after you've shot your wad on one crocodile or one dragon, you've
had it: Tt would be next to impossible to duplicate the creature.
It seems to be a rule that after you have once cut your teeth
on dragons and stacks of costumes, you develop a taste for dragons
and costumes, and always in wholesale quantiies. There is never any
diminution in the anything as tame as the Old Grey Mare which ain't
a crocodile to anythingas tame as the Old Grey Fare, which ain't

And the moral of that is .

As game animals, cottontail rab-
bits provide much sport for Penn-
sylvania hunters in autumn. In win-
ter most folks enjoy seeing ‘‘cute
bunnies” hopping about in the snow.
But nurserymen, orchardists and
homeowners do not appreciate rab-
bits cutting and barking stock and
shrubbery in winter. During spring
and early summer many suffering
flower growers and vegetable gar-
deners view the cottontails as de-
structive pests. What to do about
trouble-making rabbits is a prob-
lem. The solution in ome part of
town may not “work” in another.
(Game. Commission officers and
agents live trapped more than 48,600
cottontails from garden areas, parks,
cemeteries and other places early
this year and liberated them in open
hunting territory miles away. But

petely alleviates the damage prob-
