DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA
After 21 Years Of Bus Driving
School's Out For Loren Keller
Kellers In Fascinating Business Together
School is out for Loren Keller,
Idetown florist. On Thursday, June
14, he made his last trip in the
school bus, after driving for Lehman
Township for 21 years, and stacking
up a record of 65,000 miles without
an accident . . . a mileage which is a
mere infant in contrast to his half
million miles of private no-accident
driving extending over a period of
45 years.
There are some other old-timers
on the Lake-Lehman bus routes:
Elmer Hoover, Lanceford Sutton,
and Jack Graham. They have all,
for many years, risen early on
snowy mornings to jack up their
buses and apply chains. Loren says
it gets wearing after awhile, but
that it is a big satisfaction to know
that no child has ever been injured
on his bus. Recently, the route has
pretty much concentrated at
FF Hill, though before that develop-
ment, it stretched out considerably.
: Mr. Keller will now devote him-.
self full time to his real occupation,
that of raising beautiful flowers, and
an added pursuit, selling Planet Jr.
Power equipment, garden tractors
attachments.
“Before moving to Idetown in
March 1930, he had spent the previ-
ous year in building his own house,
and later, built his greenhouses. He
had learned the carpenter’s trade,
working as an apprentice for 25
cents an hour. When the stock \
market crash of 1929 stopped the
building trade in its tracks, he
found work as a gardener. He is
also .a machinist, starting in 1918
when he entered New York Ge ntral
Railway shops at Depew, N.Y. as an
apprentice, at 25 cents an hour and
Mr. and Mrs. Loren Keller take a breather after transplanting ‘delphinium
after four years. A strike put an
end to employment, and NYC moved
its shops to Albany.
Loren moved back to his native
Mooretown, and helped his father
Vincent on the family farm until he.
took up carpentering. He had gone
to night school in Depew, studying
mechanical drafting.
He is much interested in Sunday
School work, serving for a time as
superintendent at ‘Alderson Metho-
dist, Depew and Mooretown before
moving to Idetown. He was super-
intendent in Idetown for several
years.
%
Civic duties are many. He is a
charter member of Lehman Fire
Company, past president of Lehman
PTA, past president of West Side
Flower Club where he is now third
vice president; member of Osage
Lodge, IOOF; has been chairman and
co-chairman of the Library Auction
Plant and Produce Booth over a
period of years.
Keller's Gardens in Idetown is
widely known for its delphiniums.
In the beginning, he started by
growing gladiolus, which find ready
sale as cut flowers. Mr. Keller
caters to the growing taste of
householders for old fashioned flow-
ers, by annually offering old fash-
ioned bleeding hearts, peonies, and
purple pansies, forget-me-nots-, and
sweet William.
Recently, because of the need of
crop rotation, he has been planting
sweet corn which he sells from the
garden, picked on order.
Mrs. Keller does a lot of the
transplanting. Her duties as florist
take so much of her time nowadays
that she has little time to spend on
a pursuit that she dearly loves, re-

The Luzerne County Planned
Parenthood = Association’s annual
House and Garden Tour of five
Dallas area homes was termed a
success by its chairman Mrs, Robert
Hunter, Forty Fort.
The association expects to net
$500 from the show after a percent-
age of the money is paid out to the
National Chapter in dues.
About one hundred twenty-five
people attended the tour which
included the homes of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Goeringer, Sr., East Dallas,
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Maslow, Mr.
and Mrs. Mitchell Jenkins, Mr. and
Mrs. DeWitt Smith, and Dr. and
Mrs. Richard Post, all of Dallas.
It Pays To Advertise
In pays to advertise in the Dallas
Post. Folks are still hopefully
calling on an| ad that appeared a
while ago, but the pool table was
snapped up on the second call. It
was the man with cash in his
pocket who got the prize. The
poor guy who had to go home for
funds, was frozen out.
