Looking at
T-V
With GEORGE A. and
EDITH ANN BURKE
THE LIVELY ONES is the sum-
mer replacement for the “Hazel”
show. Vic Damone is the star and
host every Thursday at 9:30 over
the NBC TV network. Vic will not
only provide some vocal music of
his own but bring on such well
regarded guests as Peggy Lee,
Woody Herman, Damita Jo, the
Dave Brubreck Quartet, Ella Fitz-
gerald, Stan Kenton, Peter Nero and
The Limeliters.
Vic announced that he will sing
the ballads on the show and any
“swinging” chores will be handled
by his guests. Vic feels rather
strongly about rock ’'n’ roll.
“This isn't sour grapes on my
part, believe me,” He said, “but I
kind of feel sorry for rock ‘n’ roll
singers, I really do.
“I think that if they want to be
honest with themselves, they must
realize that you must like doing
what you do best—and singing ob-
viously is not what they do best.
I get the impression that some of
them know this as they shout and
strut on the stage.
“I have a high regard for Ameri-
can youth and their mental capa-
cities, but what surprises me is that
they've listened to this type of
thing for so long and so many
haven’t caught wise to the same
old beat, the same old shouting.”
34-year-old Vic Damone has 17
years of professional singing exper-
ience. Mitch Miller has said that
the best
vocal instrument of all the pop
singers. 3
The program will be a ‘traveling
show” in that it will have different
settings each week despite its
studio origination. Accompanied by
two young blondes named Shirley
Yelm and Joan Staley, Vic will
“visit” his guests in settings ap-
propriate to them and their indi-
vidual styles. [In this format, he
never gets to talk to any of the
guests but serves, rather, as a
narrator-host.
Since the show is on tape Vic is
able to continue with his personal
appearances. He just finished a
booking at Las Vegas and now is
in Chicago for a three-week engage-
ment. In September he will go on a
concert tour with Jane Powell.
VINCENT EDWARDS, known to
thousands as Dr. Ben Casey, has
ten weeks away from his television
operating room. In August he will
leave for London and then go on
to Italy where he will make a film.
Titled “The Victors,” the cast will
include Sophia Loren and Simone
Signorette. He hopes to record
some romantic songs on the sad
side.
He has an olunes out already and
the sales prove it will be ag real
money-maker.
Back in New York after an ob
sence of almost four years he has
been spending almost every evening
with his mother, Mrs. Julia Zoino,
and a brother in Queens. Vince
was born in Brooklyn.
Proud relations, of whom he has
about forty in the New York
area, got together for a real Italian
party. There was delicious Italian
cooking, wine and everyone sitting
around singing old songs. Vince
admitted it made him rather sad,
realizing that time goes so quickly
and the knowledge that it would
be some time before he would be
able to see the relations again.
ROBERT STACK will be back for
the fourth season’ with “The Un-
touchables.” He hopes it won't be
like last season with trouble from a
severe cast of laryngitis and chicken
pox. One trouble he needn’t worry
about is competition from Mitch
Miller. “The Untouchables” will be
seen on Tuesday instead of Thurs-
day.

CROWD SCENE
|A popular place for the over-21 set
to wear off early stages of middle age
spread is the Friday night Twisting
session at the Top Shelf, Harvey's
Lake.
I dropped in around 10 last week,
spent a good deal of my time just
trying to shove my way through the
door. It looked liked the USO when
the fleet's in.
It became immediately obvious
that troublemakers would not be a
problem at such a place, as a person
could count himself lucky if he could
muscle through to the bar three
times in a night.
Lehman Township Police check
age-cards, arbitrate disputes between
customers, should any arise.
When everybody's twisting, the
floor moves up and down. I saw one
joker doing “The Fly” in the middle
of the mob, which under the circum-
stances is dangerous to life and limb.
The Ambrose family has done a
nice job with the interior furnishings,
and the help is pleasant, which is re-
markable considering the demand.
There is a sizeable band for live
music, and jukebox filler.
OLD LUMBER COUNTRY
I got lost in Noxen Tuesday night.
You probably know that I'm a
stranger to the Back Mountain, and
am given to increasing my savvy of
this area by nocturnal cruises, mostly
by motorcycle, but once in a while
‘by car.

& By The Oldtimer—D. A. Waters E

English Separatists, some in Hol-
{land since 1608, made a contract
with certain Merchant Adventurers,
who advanced £ 5000, to found a
colony in America. The colonists
were to work for seven years, ex-
cept Sundays, after which the ac-’
cumulated property was to be de-
vided equally between the colonists
and merchants. About 120 left
Holland on July 20, 1620 in Ship
Speedwell, left England with another
ship, The May flower, on Aug. 5 and
had to turn back as the Speedwell
was unseaworthy. finally left with
only the Mayflower and 102 people
On Sept. 16. 1620, having already
consumed half their provisions. Less
than 90 were Pilgrims, the others
hired hands and 14 indentured ser-
vants. :
After nine weeks of very bad
weather which nearly wrecked the
ship, the Mayflower arrived at Cape
Cod, where they did not want to go,
but decided to stay. They made
a mutual compact of government in
the ship Nov. 21, 1620, finally at
Plymouth Dec. 21, 1620. One young
man died at sea, Mrs. William Brad-
ford was drowned before the land-
ing, and after a lot of illness about
fifty others died during the first
winter Originally the group was
mostly made up of families, but
deaths broke up most of them.
Only twelve of the original twenty-
six heads of families were left and
seven other men = Fifteen women
and girls survived out of the orig-
inal twenty-nine, with sixteen
others, boys and indentured ser-
vants. Half the crew of the May-
flower, which was standing by, died
also. Since there were no others
available, there were several new
marriages of survivors from time to
time.
Orginally all things were held in
common, but this did not work out
well. Each family or group was per-
mitted to build its own house and,
in 1623, each was given a plot to
plant for himself.
In 1692 money was borrowed in
England at 30% to 50% interest
and the Merchant Adventurers paid
off. Plymouth territory covered
nearly all the corner of Massachu-
setts east of Rhode Island. Many
new towns were founded and trad-
ers worked as far as Maine and
Connecticut ~The nearest river
was named “Jones”, from the Cap-
tain of the Mayflower, and ten of
the survivors settled there, after
a few years at the landing place.
Plymouth remained the head town,
was the seat of the governing body,
and kept the records.
Ancestor of many in Dallas and
in England after 1583, married in
this area was Francis Cooke, born
Holland to Hester Mahieu, a Wal-
loon or French Prostestant, about
July 1603 They had five children.
Francis and his son John, then
about 13, were passengers in the
| Speedwell from Holland, subsequent-
ly transferred to ithe Mayflower.
Hester and the smaller children re-
mained in Holland. They came to
Plymouth in the Ship Anne in July
1623. Francis was therefore more
fortunate than most of the first
arrivals as he had his entire family
surviving He received several par-
cels of land in successive divisions
and gradually acquired a large es-
tate near the Jones River area in
what became the town of Kingston.
He held some kind of public office
every year up to 1645, thereafter at
only three separated periods. Like
many of the early settlers became
well off in this worlds goods. In-
ventory of his estate in 1663’ listed
every tool, household utensil, all
livestock, etc. Many of the items
show different spellings today, and
some of them today are unknown.
Included were: 7 pewter dishes and
2 basons, 3 pewter potts, 1 pewter
bason 2 porringers & 1 salt seller,
1: pewter candlesticke, 1 pewter
Chamber pott.
While there may be other May-
flower descendants in this area, and
probably are, the only ones known
to the writer are all descended from
Elisha Cooke of New Jersey, a
great great grandson of the first
Francis Jacob Cooke, second son of’
Francis, born in Leyden, Holland,
about 1618 married Damaris Hop-
kins, a daughter of Stephen and
Elizabeth Hopkins, Mayflower pas-
sengers. They had seven children,
including Jacob, Jr. (1653-1747)
who married Lydia Miller, daughter
of John and Margaret Winslow Mil-
ler. Their eight children included
William Cooke, born 1683, who
married Tabitha Hall, daughter of
Ensign Elisha Hall of Yarmouth.
The next in line of descent was
Elisha Cook, who moved to New
Jersey. The history of Elisha and
his descendants fill a ibook by
Florence Cooke Newberry, 1934,
from which some of the above is
taken, and will be the subject of an-
other column, including the names
of local Mayflower descendants,
some of whom may be surprised
at their illustrious ancestry.

* WELL, WHY NOT?
Dear Editor:
For Librarian at our library, we
need somebody like Marge Stout.
Marge knows everybody, has a
genius for friendship, is highly in-
telligent, has a completely open mind
. and we need her back in our
community.
Our library is not just any library.
It has always been unique: It has an
atmosphere of its own, mot the
hush-hush miasma of the wusual
library. [It is a friendly place where
friends like to gather as they flip
the pages of a magazine or run a
finger over the titles of the newest
books on the Book Club shelves.
So Marge hasn't a degree in li-
brary science.
Marge has a degree in the science
of living, and she has a mind like
a steel trap. Any university would
be proud to give Marge a degree
in library science, if she fulfilled
only the minimum requirements.
She has a background of literary ap=
preciation equalled by very few
people in this area, an asset which
is a prerequisite for a good librarian.
Off hand, I can’t think of any-
thing that would do the library
more good than installing Marge be-
hind the desk.
And of course, with Marge’s news-
paper experience, she’d be the per-
fect «choice for next year’s publi-
city chairman for the Library. Auc-
tion.
Marge has had wide experience
in public relations. And Hix would
throughly enjoy taking a back seat.
Let's get Marge back here. We
need her and she needs us.
Hopefully
Hix.
WHY THE DIFFERENCE
Dear Editor:
Just suppose: a proprietor of an
"accidents, some fatal..
Valve . . .
auto inspection station deliberately
tinkers with all the cars that are
brought in. He steps up the dc-
celerator, releases the brakes, loos-
ens the steering wheels, puts the
lights out of focus, and so on.
These cars go out on the road far
less safe than when they were
brought in, but he puts on a sticker
certifying in the name of the State
that they are OK to be driven.
There are accidents, one after an-
other, some fatal.
The police, local and State go to
work. They know this is not just
ordinary wear and tear on good
cars. Finally they pin down the
particular station and bring the
proprietor to Justice. Everyone
breathes a sigh of relief. All the
drivers are glad to testify against
him. There is ng flock of lawyers,
character witnesses, etc. rushing in,
in his behalf.. The politicians are
discreetly silent, looking the other
way. He gets what he deserves
and there. is no appeal.
| Now forget the “supposing” and
get down to real facts
The proprietors of these saloons,
by whatever less disreputable name
they may be called, take in these
teenagers, and older ones also.
They step up their accelerators.
They release their brakes. They
destroy their ability to steer. They
obscure their vision. And there are
But the re-
action is not the same. The police
know what is the matter. But the
drivers deny flatly the whole thing
and get away with it, many times.
Lawyers, character witnesses, poli-
ticians, etc. rally around. After pro-
longed delay, during which the
menace continues unabated, the
authorities hand out a ten day sus-
pension of license, and even this
may be lifted on appeal.
‘Why the difference? !
D. A. Waters
T had one of our station wagons,
the big gas-gobbler, to be exact, and
was almost dry. But I wanted to go
fo Noxen, as I had never been there.
When I arrived at Market Street
I slowed the wagon to the same hush
which seemed to envelope the town
at dusk, and cruised through.
People watched the car with curi-
osity as it passed their front porches.
They knew 1 was a stranger.
1 passed up Route 29 as routine,
and kept straight, until the paved
road led deceivingly left past the
now-closed tannery. Soon there was
nothing but a fair graded dirt road
which got nothing but worse. I pre-
ceeded on. It was, if nothing else,
beautiful, and I assumed the road
met the highway.
A little stream washed along to
my left for part of the trek assuring
me that the road had some natural
direction. I was impressed by its dur-
ability, considering the drought. Most
creeks are dry. Later, I learned that
at normal depth, Bowman’s Creek
is a good trout stream.
For the next EE sthavetien
five miles the ferns and the peepers
gradually closed in. I began to feel
expendable.
A farmer and his baby son stood
near what I was thinking had to be
Williamsport, R.D. by this time. “Is
this a dead end,”, I asked. “Uh -huh”’,
says he, and spits out some of his
chaw. I appreciated his unspoken
sentiments: What was I doing here,
if I didn’t know where I was?
“I just came through Noxen’”, I
continued. “Is that the only way to
get, to the highway 7?” He looked me
over; ‘No, you can go over fe moun-
tain.”
“Which way”, I cried in triumph?
“You better go back to Noxen”, says
he through one dubious eye.
And that’s what I did. I must have
done it on just vapor from my gas
tank. The town was even quieter. A
couple of young lovebirds smiled to-
ward me, headed arm in arm toward
where I had come from, wherever
that was. The old men seated in front
of the Fire House nodded knowingly
as I whispered past in the semi-dark.
They knew I'd been lost.
Nice country to get lost in, I
thought, driving toward the sunset.

Yesterday
Ten, Twenty and Thirty Years
Ago In The Dallas Post
IT HAPPENED 30) YEARS AGO:
An editorial said,
and go to work.” It was good
healthy advice. People were still
thinking of salaries in terms of
what they used to get during the
high-flying days before the market
crash, forgetting how much less
things cost during the depression
than they did during the twenties.
Folks, said the editorial were prone
to consider the easy money of the
twenties a tribute to their own
shrewdness and initiative, instead
of a byproduct of inflation.
According to straw votes in the
Dallas Post, the wets were gaining
ground, the presidential race was
close. Roosevelt was leading by a
slim margin.
Land belonging to John Kaschen-
bach in Kingston Township, con-
demned for a school site, with con-
struction already started, was fin-
ally purchased officially, $8,750
changing hands.
An award of $4,800 to Mrs. Z. R.
Howell was upheld by the Superior
Court after months of litigation,
as Kingston Township school board
protested a claim for" damages in
the death of her husband while
on school business near Harrisburg,
An investigation was demanded
when goods of two Dallas families
were seized for payment of taxes.
The families had not been able to
meet their tax quota, due to long
unemployment.
Mrs. Barbara Gangloff died at her
home on Lake Street.
You could get three cans of pink
salmon for a quarter, and potroast
was 18 cents a pound. Butter was
19 cents a pound, and bread was
5 cents.
Anglers declared war on sala-
manders, claiming they ate spawn
of river fish.
A Philadelphia company got the
contract for rebuilding 7.94 miles
of road from Noxen to Pikes Creek.
“Quit kicking

A Sweet Valley farmer miracu-
lously escaped death when dragged
by his team for a quarter of a mile.
Falling off his seat, Courtney Car-
keet, 61, hurtled along with his leg
flailing. against the sharp cutterbar
of the mowing machine.
Nine sons of the Frear-Parrish
family were in the service: Robert
Reilly, Robert Wright, Warren
Johnson, Floyd Randell, James
