Editorially Speaking:
Straws In The Wind Of Public Opinion
A Safety-Valve published in the issue of January 17
evoked considerable comment. “The letter was in protest
against the proposed increase in rates for Dallas area
telephone patrons, in consideration of dropping of toll
charges between Dallas and Wilkes-Barre-Kingston.
Opinions of letter-writers have their place in Dallas Post,
if they are signed, straws in the wind of public opinion.
The Dallas Post published a survey some time ago,
asking for candid opinions on the proposal. It received
replies, favorable and unfavorable, publishing the findings
impartially. Editorially, it favored the proposal.
When the survey was made, it was clearly stated that
SUBSCRIBERS: WHO DID NOT RETURN THEIR POST-
CARDS WOULD BE COUNTED AS NOT IN FAVOR OF
THE PROPOSED PLAN.
This means that those not in favor had a better break
than those in favor as those in favor had to sign and re-
turn their cards, and all the opponents had to do was to
sit tight and automatically vote against it.
It was a narrow poll, with: favorable majority very
small, though it is presumed that many people who ap-
proved, did not bother to sign their cards, thus voting in
effect against it.
_ The Dallas Post carried a great deal of material on
on the subject. It called attention to the circumstance
that subscribers on fixed incomes might be penalized. It
telephoned to as complete a cross-section of the commu-
nity as it was able to, getting in contact with as many
people on fixed incomes as possible. It published the find-
ings impartially.
It wrote an editorial, outlining the advantages and
the disadvantages.
The price of progress is always high, and some people
are'bound to be adversely affected.
But the greatest good to the greatest number seems
to indicate that the change in status of the Dallas area will
probably take place, and that as equipment can be install-
ed, other areas will be affected.
Noxen used to be on a toll line. Center Moreland
has recently been put on a toll-free basis, accessible to the
rest of the Back Mountain without toll charge.
It remains a hardship to people on fixed incomes, just
as the steady rise in the cost of living does, the increased
bus fares, and the increased taxes.
* The shiny side of the coin is that the proposed toll-
free arrangement may well attract many more people to
this area — and more people, more houses, more people
to bear the burden, may result in a future easier load.
RESOLUTION
For the Board of Directors of the Back Mountain
Memorial Library adequately to expess its sense of the
great loss it, in company with the entire Back Mountain
community, has suffered in the recent passing of one of
the founders of the Library, Howard W. Risley, would be
well nigh impossible. Mere words can never convey the
inmost feelings of the heart. Inadequate as those words
may be, we can but try.
* As one as its founders, Howard Risley was one of the
moving spirits in its initial stages. From the very begin-
ning he was an inspiration to all who were associated with
it in any capacity. He has been, throughout its existence,
one of its directors and served for several years as its
President. To the Library Auction, which under his leader-
ship has grown into an institution known throughout the
entire country, he devoted his grounds, his enthusiasm and
his time, thought and loving care. Without him, the
Auction could not have grown to what it was and, ‘with
his going, cannot again be quite what it was.
Howard Risley’s feeling for the Library, and its place
in the Back Mountain community, can be best expressed
in his own words, written in 1955:
“The Library means more to me than build-
ings, lands and books. It is a symbol of what can be
achieved in a typical American community when all
of its citizens — regardless of race, creed, color or
social distinction, unite behind a single objective.”
These words of his express the philosophy by which
he lived, a philosophy which enabled him, and The Dallas
Post, to make such an impact upon the whole community.
Tt is with profound sorrow that we note his passing.
We have all of us who were associated with him on this
Board, been, as has the whole community, the richer for
having knoown him, and to his widow, Myra Z, Risley,
we extend our deep sympathy.

SPRING FEVER ?
While Great Britain and the
Great Plains suffered near record
blizzard conditions this weekend,
weird weather settled over the Back
Mountain.
“Weird weather” for me is warm,
moist and windy when it should be
otherwise, and smells, despite rigid
meterological dictates, if not of an-
other era, at least of another day.
Friday and Saturday I could smell
spring,
Yes, yes. Let go of my lapel. 1
know that a hard winter lies ahead.
And the Farmers’ Almanac’ predicts
lots of snow in April. This year, by
reputation, is the year that foils all
hope.
But there was a steady thaw Fri-
day and Saturday. Mud is lousy,
I'll agree most of the time, but this
time I was glad to have to step
around some mud. And even while
the ice-fishermen at Harveys Lake,
Ryman’s Pond, and Silkworth were
stomping up and down against the
metallic air over the glassy surface,
I stood on the warm shore and
stared fondly at the water washing
out at the edge.
Sunday from Trucksville to Kun-
kle and Beaumont you couldn't see
your hood ornament for fog. But
from Lutes’ Corners north, the sun
was = shining on dry roads, and in
Tunkhannock men in shirtsleeves
washed their cars along ‘the street.
Monday nobody could stand it, it
was so cold, and the midwest’s
weather troubles were reported
moving toward us. With such black
forebodings, who would sympathize
when I fell in love with a couple of
days on a calendar?
But with such a miserable chunk
of calendar as we have to contend
with ‘this winter, who could blame
me for reading between its lines?
I swear I could smell spring. :
MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY
I'll bet stolen Wilkes-Barre daily
papers were selling from twenty-
five cents up Saturday — in New
York. Nine hundred disappeared
from Heights-North End corners
where they were left in bundles
around 4 a.m. for pick-up.

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1963
By The Oldtimer
HISTORY OF THE CERTIFIED
TOWNSHIP OF KINGSTON PENN-
SYLVANIA. By William Brewster.
580 PP, 36 Illustrations, 2 maps, In-
dexed by names and events. Pub-
lished by The School District of the
Borough of Kingston (1930).
This excellent local history can
now be obtained from the Secretary
of The School District,’ Chester St.
High School, Kingston, at the
original pre-war price of $2.10. This
is certainly a bargain, about a
quarter of what similar books sell
for today.
The title may be a little mislead-
ing. The Certified Township of
Kingston, used by Pennsylvania in
certifying land titles, covers the old
Connecticut Township of Kingston
along the river from Plymouth to
Exeter, extending back ‘to the
present line near Shavertown Lu-
theran Church. However the book
covers the entire area of Wyoming
Valley and nearby territory up to
about 1800, and some of the Back
Mountain up to and including the
cutting off of Dallas Township in
1817, and Franklin in 1843,
A descendant of very early set-
tlers in New England, Mr. Brewster
viewed the local scene from the New
England standpoint. Being also a
lawyer, he stressed the legality of
the Connecticut claims and devotes
much attention to the legal, political,
and military actions between the
Connecticut settlers and other
claimants and the supporters of the
claims of Pennsylvania and the
Penns. The Pennamite-Yankee Wars
are fully described, also the follow-
ing long-drawn out civil actions
which, in the end, resulted in the
confirmation of the = Connecticut
land titles, although Pennsylvania
held the powers of government.
The formation of the Susquehanna
Company, the purchase of the land
from the Indians, later disputed,
and the journey on horseback by
the First Forty are as interesting as
many stories of adventure, and
these are true. [Short biographies
of all the early settlers are included,
and genealogies of many prominent
local families. How the settlers
lived in early days, and also after
things had settled down, are des-
cribed in full detail.
Relations with the Indians are
mentioned numerous times and the

Hung Up By Snow And Ice This Winter?
Sunday Independent, the club was
formed in the emergency ward of
Nesbitt Hospital by several Back
Mountain drivers who cracked up
on the highway trying to get to
work in the Valley at the last
minute.
Since the driver in this case was
prey to the weather, which account-
ed for a number of similar misfor-
tunes that day, she does not qual-
ify for membership within the strict
rules of the club. Five-of-niners get |

sacre may be termed a classic.
Sufferings of the inhabitants who
fled, and how they later returned
and began life over again, show
what kind of stuff our ancestors
were made of.
The efforts of some of the New
England Men to establish a com-
pletely Yankee State takes up a
separate chapter and the same au-
thor in recent years wrote a book
on it called, “The Fourteenth Com-
monwealth’. (
A two-page map shows the di-
vision of land in old Kingston
Township in four divisions by
several allotments, each of the
proprietors receiving a portion in
each of the several divisions. An-
other fold-out map lists the First
Forty proprietors and other early
settlers and shows where their
homes were located, also the several
historic sites, location of forts and
battles, etc.
Answering the several inquiries
asking for local history, there is
nothing better to be had at this
time for home use. The libraries
have various county and regional
histories available for reference but
none can be bought. Many of them
were sold by subscription and de-
vote much space to subscribers and
none to others.
For Dallas Township and Borough,
and also Lehman, Lake, Franklin,
ete. the best book is “THE EARLY
SETTLEMENT OF DALLAS TOWN-
SHIP, PA.” by William Penn Ry-
man.. This was read before The
Wyoming Historical and Geological
Society in 1885 and 1886, subse-
quently published by the Society in
book form, but not available now.
It was also included in Vol. VI
(1901) of their PROCEEDINGS.
Once in a while you can buy a copy
of this which also contains other
interesting historical information.
The Pennsylvania Historical and
Museum Commissinn has published
a lot of material on history of
Pennsylvania. One 58 page booklet,
PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY IN OUT-
LINE, sells for a quarter and is very
good. You can buy from them also
a GUIDE TO THE HISTORICAL
MARKERS OF PENNSYLVANIA for
half a dollar, which lists all these
blue markers you do not have time
to read as you drive "past. Both
these publications require also state
tax added to the price.
