DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA
~ Overloading In
Dallas Pores
~ Poses Problem
Experiments Needed
To Allocate Pupils
To Best Advantage
Overcrowded buses are posing a
problem in Dallas Schools, the same
situation that occurs each year before
adjustments are made. A Transpor-
tation Committee meeting was held
in advance of the regular monthly
- School Board meeting Tuesday night
in the Senior High [School library.
The problem was already being
studies before a number of residents
voiced their concern. Leon Emman-
uel holder of ‘bus contracts was pre-
Wt He and William A. Austin, to-
gether with Alton Whittaker, chair-
man of transportation committee
conferred.
Permission for a possible change
of routing was voted by the board.
Extension of any existing route, or
addition of a bus, would be reflected
in higher cost to the system, explain-
ed Dr. Robert A. Mellman, superin-
tendent.
Experimentation will be carried
"out to see if a reasonable solution
can be reached.
In reply to a report that students
were seen ‘smoking on the buses, Dr.
Mellman stated that this is a matter
for ‘expulsion, Tt occurs usually on
buses that are .overcrowded, where
the driver cannot see students at.the
back of the bus. Last year, a cigarette
butt started a fire.
It was brought out by a wisitor
that the bus driver has the lives of
the children in his hands, and must
pay close attention to the road, Hav-
ing a teacher ride each bus would
be the solution, Dr. Mellman: said, if
it were - possible to arrange it. It
would be desirable also to hold down
the high school students to. smaller
loads. Austin said he was all against
piting as many high school students
ia bus as elementary students, be-
cause they take up more room, and
crowding leads to undesirable be-
havior. ( !
STADIUM TO BE DEDICATED
The track, which was to have been
id this summer, will not be ready
this season, Dallas Township sup-
ervisors having found it impossible
to assign equipment for the purpose.
Football season is a poor time to lay
track. It will be constructed in the
spring.
Mrs. Steinhauer’s suggestion that
water be supplied for the Little Lea-
gue snack stand, was referred to
Building and Grounds.
William Wright, chairman of ath-
letics, announced plans for dedicat-
ion of the new stadium, just. before
the football game with Lake-Lehman
September 22, the first home game
on the new field. y
Jack Stanley, Building and
Grounds, reported that the danger-
ous curve at Westmoreland school
was being gentled, with vision and
driving conditons much mproved.

THEY WERE GREAT
Dear Editor: |
May we please add one small bit
of praise to our Back Mountain
Little League All Star team. Our
son has had the privilege of play-
ing with the Little League for four
years and I must say our whole
tamily had a great deal of pleasure
following the Back Mountain teams.
When you have watched the prac-
tice sessions, the minor league
teams and. eventually the major
teams, you can’t help getting a
charge out of watching the little
fellows develop into the fine base-
ball players which brought us final-
ly to an All Star team such as we
saw this year.
To thank the many men, who
spent so much of their time training
the boys, is almost unnecessary if
you have ever seen the kick they
got out of working with them.
At any rate, having seen the
boys develop during the inter-
league games, we followed the All
Stars with the greatest enthusiasm,
knowing they weren't just pretty
darn good baseball. players, who had
been beautifully trained, but that
they had = something = else very
special.
It soon became quite apparent as
the games progressed that we were
just one family in hundreds who
‘| had this same feeling for ‘the Back
Mountain team because the Back
Mountain turn-out at all games in |

this area and Williamsport ‘was
overwhelmingly large.
To try to analyze why these boys
lost at Medford, Massachusetts, is
really unfair. The fact that the ma-
jority of their fans couldnt go all
the way to Massachusetts or that
the boys were frightened, homesick
or that an accident threw them .is
unfair to the players themselves. For
I'm sure deep down in their hearts
they knew that sometime they
might lose to a better team. And
when they finally did they accepted
this as true champions, congratulat-
ing the other team even before the
Pitman team could quite collect
themselves to go to them. This
made all of us (glued to WNAK) as
proud of them as all of the wins
ance . .
they had racked up before. As a
man very close to them said,” it’s
not easy to win gracefully but to
lose gracefully is rough but by golly
they did.”
And after all, isn’t this what Lit-
tle League baseball is really all
about? To teach youngsters to
handle themselves well physically
and mentally. To learn.good sports-
manship which is sometimes sadly
lacking in their elders.
‘Well, these boys, each one,
learned their lessons well and dis-
played their own innate niceness
throughout the. entire ordeal and
believe me it must have been just
that as the tension increased. No
one likes to lose but there can be
just one winner and to be one of
the top eight teams in the country
as well as the Pennsylvania State
Champs is a real accomplishment.
Congratulation, boys you were
“great.”
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lewis Rogers III and family.
