SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENT
Dear Editor:
Two young sons killed by guns in
the hands of companions are remem-
bered by friends of ours who once
lived in the Back Mountain area and
they are in our prayers as we ap-
- proach All Saint’s Day. The potential |
value to society of these fine boys |
slain by carelessness is beyond mea-
sure. The courage and faith of their
parents cannot restore their lives.
Each year some young persons
nearby are shot. Last week a boy in
McAdoo in a moment of bravado
pointed a pistol at his head. He did
not know how to use a gun; he did
not take time to see if the weapon
were loaded; he is dead. ;
We suggest that state game ward-

many other historical events of note.
The Pony Express wax discon-

Dallas Township Supervisors ap-
proved advertisement of an ordi-
nance for a Township planning com-
mission at their October meeting.
The proposed ordinance may be a-
dopted at the November meeting,
after it is advertised by Township
solicitor Atty. Frank Townend.
The new planning commission is
the product of many months con-
sideration, according to Board sec-
| retary William Krimmel. In general,
the purpose of the commission is to
make provision for future use of land
within the township.
Noting that the county usually
makes the plans if a township does
not take its own future seriously
enough to make its own plans, Krim-
mel observed ‘There is no reason
at all why Dallas Township cannot
determine its own affairs.”
This did not mean ‘that the new
board, he said. Dallas Township re-
mains primarily a rural body, not yet
in need of zoning, although it' does
include such suburban developments

as Goss Manor and New Goss Manor.
The planning commission, Krim-
mel feels, will be a responsible effort
on township’s part to forge its own
future, rather than ‘to have it deter-
mined in a manner disagreeable to
most citizens. i
For example the county has
thought it would be good for Dallas
Township, if the area between Col-
lege Misericordia and the Country
Club were classed as industrial.
Zoning may follow, if the new plan-
ning commission is successful, and if
the community expands ‘to, the point
where it is needed.
iAt present, the commission and its
functions are in early stages of de-
velopment. So far, Krimmel said, no
appointments of commissioners have
been made, or proposed.
