~ Editorially Speaking: ..
THE FOOD STAMP PLAN
The proposed food stamp plan will probably hold
down the number of recipients, as there must be actual
eh outlay in order to get the stamps and reap the bene-
fits.
The surplus food distribution “may have been a
misnomer. If the food stamp plan is to accomplish the
same purpose as the distribution of actual food, it will
have to take into consideration the question, What is
surplus and what is not surplus?

ALLEMANDE WHA?
Speaking of dancing, I don’t know
anybody who doesn’t have fun at a
Farmer Dance. Not only are Farmer
Dances lit so’s you can see what
you're getting hooked up with, but
usually it doesn’t matter. These
genial romps bring out the beauty
in anybody, or sweat it out.
Any Farmer Dance savants I've
talked to agree that the one at
Kunkle Community Center on
Saturday night is among the best.
One reason for it's being good is
that Red Jones, who usually calls,
is a clear caller, and keeps every-
body in the dance.” With some
callers I've run up against, I might
as well have been running out for
a pack of cigarettes.

Back Mountain folks are Sans

With the Hudson at our backs, we were shortly in Magssachu-

southern Berkshires. Here on the grounds of the Berkshire Inn is
one of the oldest homes in America, the Henderson House built in
1739, used as officers’ headquarters and storehouse during the
Revolution-and later the home of the poet William Cullen Bryant.
Here we might have turned north, as on previous trips with
Myra, to Lenox, famous as a resort for a 100 years; and nineteenth
century literary center. Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Ward Beecher,
Charlotte Cushman were among celebrated Americans who spent
much time there. Hawthorne lived in a place called “Tanglewood
and there wrote his “Tanglewood Tales”. In August Tanglewood is
the scene of the famous Berkshire Symphonic Festival.
Soon we were on the broad dual-laned Massachusetts Turnpike

many exhibits of natural science and geology.

From the quantity of dried milk that has been re-
ported jettisoned on the public dumps, many recipients
will not use the milk, but neither will they reject it when
it is offered.
Dried milk is one of the finest things that hag ever
been put on the market, now that it has been manufac-
tured by a method that produces easily dissolved crystals
instead of an almost insoluble powder.
Butter has been distributed as a surplus commodity.
Over the counter, butter is still sky-high, and many
housewives, heeding the advice of medical men who con-
sider animal fat a hazard and suggest vegetable fat as a
safe substitute, have switched to margarine with conse-
quent savings, and in the name of health as well as
economy. :
Will ‘women receiving food stamps pay the high
price for butter, which still travels under the heading of
surplus, or will they buy margarine which is not surplus,
and costs far less? What will then happen to the ware-
houses of butter?
Will the food stamp plan reduce the surplus com-
modities, or will it create still larger surpluses on which
the government must pay storage?

create a pretty setting on the wide-

It sounded pretty mice to hear Mr. Back Mountain himself
speaking over the radio Thursday evening, right after the wind-up
i of the Little League game which saw Back Mountain licking} the
socks off New England champs. .
That was right where he belonged, supporting the Back Moun-
tain even on an alien field. : y
The staff at the Dallas Post doesn’t say very much about it.
We all take Howard Risley pretty much for granted.
We scrap with him upon occasion, we get our ears pinned back
when in the throes of press day, but we all know he's right in there
pitching when the occasion calls for it. }
And we know that win, lose or draw, he is always one hundred
percent for the Back Mountain.
Nobody could possibly replace him in the community. An &
editor of a rural weekly knows his people as nobody else could ever
know them. /
During the second world war, it was Howard who drove around
late at night to bring the grim news of death of some nice boy
on the field of battle, and who comforted the sorrowing parents as
only a strong man with a tender heart can comfort.

Presently, 12,000 recipients are on the rolls for sur-

* McHALE’S NAVY is the title of a
new comedy show with a Navy
background. : y
Ernest Borgnine makes his TV
series bow as Lt. Cmdr. Quinton
McHale, USNR, skipper of PT73. The
locale is the South Pacific island
of Taratupa, year 1943. McHale and
his unorthodox crew fight the war
with the Japanese in their own
style. 4
McHale's Island runs itself and
resembles Miami Beach at the
height of the winter tourist season;
Radioman Willie Moss, played by
Tennessean Bobby Wright, operates
a still; Motor Machinist Mate Har-
rison “Tinker” Bell, played by com-
edian Billy [Sands has used govern-
‘| ment machinery to build a make-
shift laudromat. Others of the crew
spend their time profitably.
McHale and his crew are the
worry of Capt. Wallace Burton Bing-
hampton, their unfortunate im-
mediate superior. The captain
edited a yachting magazine and
commanded a local mooring before
the U. S. Navy, but he out-salts the
old salts “with their tarnished An-
napolis rings.
As portrayed by Joe Flynn, Bing-
hampton figures his nautical though
land-locked experience makes him
more “Navy” than Nimitz, with a
little Captain Bligh thrown in for
good measure.
Jim Post will be in the district

that even the umpire shook his

and mulled over his call for a split

would be. Any boy who wants to

as McHale's Island, located two
miles across a lagoon from his Tara-
tupa headquarters. Officially, the
captain gives boat dispersion as his
reason for exiling McHale's outfit.
Actually, the former marina ‘skip~
per” doesn’t want the patrol-torpedo
boat’s crew any closer because he's
afraid they will contaminate his
own men.
Sound like another Sgt. Bilko.
But that was a good comedy show
and we can stand another in the
same vein. The Army didn’t care
for Sgt. Bilko, wonder what the
Navy will think of this one. ,

{Stating that he was delighted with
his tour of Luzerne County and ‘that
he was glad for the rain since ‘we
certainly need it”, Congressman Wil-
liam W. Scranton was emphatic and
convincing with his answers to the
queries of newsmen. He showed a
remarkable insight into government
at any level and a fine sense of hum-
or.
The Congressman believes the most
important issue of this campaign is
unemployment and its ultimate so-
lution, industrial development.
Asked if his proposed Community
Development Bureau is not the same
thing as the Urban Affairs Depart-
ment of his opponent, he said that
he did not think so, since his own
proposal includes all types of mun-
icipalities throughout the State
while that of his opponent is limited
to cities.

Scranton said there is a need for it

fully pointed out that he has asked
Chairman George Bloom to negotiate

Mayor Dillworth has avoided ap- .

issue in this campaign, since the in-
vestigation promised last year has
not been opened.
The charges that he has been in-
active in corrective mine legislation
have been refuted by Congressman
Dan Flood, Mr. Scranton declared.
He denied ‘that his family was ing
any way responsible for mine ue
turbances in the Scranton area say-
ing that his grandfather was a steel
manufacturér and while some steel
companies did own mines at that
time his grandfather retired from
business in 1880, before mining be-
came big business in 1890.
Scranton believes that State Po-
lice deserve job security and merit
promotion but not that they should
be under joint supervision of the
State Police officials and the Civil
Service Commssion.
He was delighted with his visit
here. Tuesday’s activities completely
convinced him that Luzerne County
Republicans will be in complete har-
mony for the election since so many
acknowledged: leaders and voters
vsent out of their way to assure him
their wholehearted support.
