ditorially Speaking:
HAVE A HEART
People used to call it “growing pains” when a child
became feverish and listless, and complained of pains in
his knees. /
“Blue babies” had little expectation of living.
Since the tremendous amount of research into cardiac
problems, the “growing pains” now translate themselves
into rheusgytic fever, and miracle drugs aresshortening
the neceséfry time of inaction for complete recovery.
The first operation on a heart was successfully per-
formed twenty-five years ago in Boston at the Children’s
Hospital. -
“Blue babies” now have a chance for normal life as
they grow into healthy, active children.
A vast amount of research goes into studies of the
heart. Research costs money. It is carried out so that
YOUR child may live.
A vast amount of antibiotics is necessary to combat
infection of rheumatic fever and give the damaged heart
a chance to cure itself.
In this Back Mountain area, twenty-five rheumatic
fever sufferers are regularly receiving daily doses of peni-
cillin from the Heart Association.
The cost of the medication is great.
Is the community contributing the cost, or is it lag-
ging behind?
Back Mountain children are receiving aid at a cost
which would seriously cripple the average family budget.
‘Are YOU giving enough to the Heart Fund?
IS THE FOOD STAMP PLAN BACK-FIRING?
Recently, two cases have been brought to the atten-
tion of the Dallas Post, where elderly women who once
received surplus food, counted on surplus food, and man-
aged to eke out a slonder income because of the staples
obtained through surplus food, are not able to avail them-
selves of food stamps.
The food stamp plan assumes that elderly women on
limited incomes buy steak and potroast and that if they
had food stamps with which to bolster their budget, they
will buy more steak and potroast, thus boosting their
caloric intake and doing at the same time a good turn
for the retail stores.
The fact of the matter is that a great many elderly
women do very little marketing. In this widely scattered
community, living in many instances far from bank facili-
ties and with curtailed transportation, dependent in.many
instances upon a ride with a neighbor, they are virtually
isolated.
They managed to get to food distribution centers on
the appointed day. The butter and rice and cheese and
dried eggs and dried milk, and flour and cornmeal and
other staples, and more recently can of nourishing meat,
supplemented the canned vegetables and canned fruit that
they had painstakingly prepared during the growing sea-
~~ son, when neighbors were generous with their surplus
from the orchard or from the garden. .
The surplus food was a godsend.
The country still has a surplus of butter and dairy
products.
How many elderly women, even with food stamps,
will spend money for butter when margarine is so much
cheaper?
Is the food stamp plan defeating its own ends?
Has anybody in the Food Stamp Department ever in-
vestigated to find out what a woman on a fixed income
of perhaps $50 a month, actually eats?
A woman who must clothe herself, keep herself warm,
make a token contribution to her church, pay her doctor
bill, buy medicine at the drugstore?
It is the single person who suffers. Families with
several children seem to get by pretty well on the food
stamp plan.
But it is safe to state that very few families ont the
food stamp plan are buying butter.
Is the government still stacking up surpluses of butter
to grow rancid in warehouses?
Schools get it, institutions get it. N
There are some elderly folks out this way who need
But they will not buy it through food stamps.
it.
GE a
Better Leighton Never
by
Down at the bank Friday, while
transacting some routine business,
I had occasion to do a couple of
takes. All of a sudden I'm interupted
in the act of scooping up my mil-
lions by what sounds as if some-
body’s playing one of those “Sounds
of Sebring” records behind the
counter.
Plainly this is not the practice of
banking houses, whose daily routine
of perpetuating the pulse of civiliza-
tion has nothing to do with the
cam-lift of a Jaguar or the tuning
of a Maserati,
‘Well, pretty soon that program is
over, and I'm still waiting for the
cashier to count out another hund-
red thousand, when a new sound
wafts up out of the walls.
This time it's a gentle ‘crunch,
crunch, crunch, crunch”, as though
Tonto is walking into camp through
four inches of snow beginning the
second half of the show and is about
to say: “Bart Slade, him in town,
Kemo-Sabe”.
Instead, he says loud and clear:
“Beautiful day, isn’t?” And the
Lone Ranger says: ‘“‘Sure is!”
I'm still getting the feeling that
the cashier isn’t listening to the
show, since she certainly ought to
register on that conversation. Ev-
erybody knows that the Lone
Ranger and Tonto don’t have time
to fool around with this weather
nonsense.
Anyway, the boys must have sad-
dled up and rode into town, or may-
be they thumbed a ride with that
Maserati. Somebody had changed
the program again, and it was
warm-up time in the pits at Bryn-
fan Tyddyn.
“Nine hundred ninety nine thous-
and, nine hundred ninety eight —
ninety nine, one million, thank
you”, says the cashier, as I'm fumb-
ling to fit it all into my wallet.
All of a sudden, I hear Tonto’s
foot-steps again, and then I see him
out the drive-in window, only he
ain’t Tonto. He’s somebody I know
from Huntsville. And then I see the
Lone Ranger, and hear his footsteps,
still sounding transcribed, or ‘“tap-
ed”, off in the distance. He’s not
wearing a mask. He's wearing a
Woolrich coat, and he has his wife
with him.
“Sensitive radio you've got there”,
I observe to the cashier, nodding
toward the drive-in window. A
schoolbus is warming up out on
Main Street, with a rapid fire belch-
ing sound that characteristically
comes from those racing mufflers
they put on them.
#+ “I imagine you pick up some fair-
y foul language on that thing over
the weeks”, says I. (I don’t know
why, but that’s the sort of thing
that first pops into my mind.)
“Sure do”, she smiles, and T walk
off grinning to myself about the
multitudes who must have nonchal-
antly traded chummy opprobrium
in front of that window, and had
not known they could be seen and
heard.
The radio is on constantly, and
I'm pretty certain that it's about
twice as sensitive as the human ear
would be at the same distance
without glass in between.
KEEP THE SINKING FUND AFLOAT
Maybe I ought to let bad-enough
alone, but I'd prefer to clear up
something if I can.
_ Several weeks ago I reported on
a meeting of the Ambulance Assoc-
iation, and mentioned certain rou-
tine facts about their treasury.
Three of the boys on the staff,
two of whom incidentally missed
the meeting, objected to this men-
tion, saying that volunteer organiza-
tions depend on public drives, and
I made it look as if the Association
didn’t need money.
They have a point. BE YE AD-
VISED, there are many ambulances
that have lots more money and lots
less willing and able help than ours.
All volunteer emergency groups
have sinking funds which sink
plenty fast, as emergency vehicles
use expensive equipment, need top-
flight service, and are notorious gas
gohblers.

Rambling Around
By The Oldtimer — D. A. Waters
The “Bigger is always better”
boys, having put through the Dallas
Union School District (which has so-
far not lived up to its advance prom-
ises) are now working to extend it
to Ricketts Fire Tower and Colum-
bia County. They have also started
on the postal service and wiped out
the independent postoffices in
Kingston Township, by no means
an unmixed blessing.
Now they are starting on ‘the pre-
vailing municipal governments, bor-
ough and township, in the Back
Mountain. According to their view
this area has been neglected for a
hundred and fifty years mostly be-
cause it is divided into separate
municipalities, and all that is need-
ed is to get rid of some old fogies
whose families have been around for
several generations and import some
new and younger blood, never dis-
tinguished anywhere else, and give
then a chance to see what can be
done by one big gevernment.
Excepting a single year a mile
away in Dallas Township, I am one
of the third generation old fogies
living in Dallas Borough and T know
from personal knowledge that this
story of longtime neglect is not true.
About the time I started to school,
maybe a year or two before, my
father was street commissioner in
the borough. He opened a red-shale
quarry on the then Welch farm,
later Wallo’s, and stoned Huntsville
street hill from Ryman’s store to the
old pines at the cemstery. Also then
they laid a stone base on Norton
Avenue, then new, and built a stone
arch bridge over the little stream
there, since submerged. These were
good roads for those days, in the
absence of speeding automobiles.
And such activity continued right
along, year after year.
While I was in high school the
County blacktopped the old turnpike
road along the creek. Shortly there-
after the Borough bought a steam
roller and had a stone crusher, as;
well as a grader. Power from the
roller was used on the crusher
wihich was set up to provide crushed
stone from convenient points,
spread, and then rolled down. About
the time of World War I, they re-
moved stone walls along Center Hill
and stoned that road, Machell Ave-
nue, and other roads. Shortly there-
after the state took over the lower
road from Luzerne and the county
took over Pioneer Avenue, later a
state road.
The Borough participated with the
state in work on Church Street and
paving Main and Lake Streets. In
those days, and maybe now, the
laws were more favorable to towns
ships as to state road aid than to
boroughs. This was done - shortly
after World War I. In 1925-26 the
state came along with pians to
widen the road, the borough to as-
sume all the expense of additional
right of way, which would not only
cost money but destroy most of the
income-producing properties on
HRHRHRKR,
Main Street. The borough declined.
Eventually the right of way of the
street car company was utilized, a
better plan at less expense. About
1922 the County took over Hunts-
ville Street.
While a member of the council
in 1925-27, with the assistance of
John Jeter, Borough Engineer, I
personally prepared and introduced
ordinances covering the numbering
of houses in ‘the borough, and re-
quiring the laying of sidewalks.
There were some complaints. Some-
one remarked that, “If Dan Waters
had not had to push a baby carriage
up that hill, no one would have
asked for sidewalks”.
Even before I went on the coun-
cil, a policy was in force to build
permanent-type blacktop streets,
one or more every year, to be re-
surfaced when required and as mon-
ey was available. To this plan, in
depression days, the borough added
a lot of W.P.A. work, especially in
laying drainage and stone curbs. As
new plots were opened over the
years the borough has accepted ad-
ditional streets and stoned and sur-
faced them one by one, replacing
the cld drains with pipe 12 inches
or over as needed. At present the
borough has about ten miles of
streets.
Street lights were installed when
I was a small child, I attended a
meeting in Raubs Hotel about the
time The Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire
Company was organized. Our police
protection has not been too bad over
‘the years, as far as I know.
Our roads are plowed and ashed
frequently, sometimes several times
a day. As far as temporary road re-
pairs are concerned, to which the
“Bigger is Always Better Boys”
seem to be taking exception, I would
suggest they accompany me in my
regular drive to work through sev-
eral of the bigger towns they think
so well of, in which I have to drive
over or around holes you can lay an
inflated tire in. Some of the tem-
porary repairs they complain of
would be useful on North Street
Bridge, and other places also. As far
as snow removal and ashing is con-
cerned, Back Mountain roads that
I drive on are in better shape than
some of those in the Valley.
Last summer the borough surfaced
or rebuilt Franklin Street and Cen-
ter Hill Road, and built about 1,000
ft. of all new road on Powderhorn
Drive. Our roads are not neglected
and our money .is not thrown away.
Most of our borough ‘officers serve
without pay, and those paid are not
paid exhorbitant salaries.
It is. true we have a sewer prob-
lem, but we are not facing trial or
prosecution by the state as are many
of the Valley municipalities. For the
Borcugh to enter any big municipal-
ity would throw away at least half
a century of improvements and as-
sume obligation to bring: all the
area up to the Borough standards.
Area Passing Up A Fine Chance
To Establish A Small Museum
Dallas is missing a good bet if it
does not establish a small museum
to house some of the interesting
Early American things that normally
get shovelled out with the trash
when househplders do not know
what to do with them.
Zel Garinger, whose collection of
early farm implements on Lake
Street has been featured in the
Dallas Post from time to time, has
permitted the Historical Museum in
Wilkes-Barre to take fifteen of his
prized possessions, because, “Nobody
is interested in them out this way.”
Mr. Garinger gets a big kick out
of some of the misconceptions of
the present generation. He has re-
cently seen, in museum, a frow for
making shingles labelled “ice-cut-
ter.” A frow slices off straight-
grained wood into straight-grained
shingles.
Every once in awhile somebody
leaves an oddity on his back porch.
Right now Zel has a pair of skates
used on the Zuyder Zee over a cen-
tury ago, racing skates with turned-
up toes and exceptionally long
blades. Zel enjoys showing his
things. He has a marvelous nucleus
for a small museum, right out back
of his kitchen.

30 Years Ago:
Asa R. Holcomb, 78, severely
burned while building a bonfire at
his home in Huntsville in the fall,
never recovered from the shock. He
died at his home, where he had
been an invalid since the accident.
Warm sunshine and mild breezes
for several days were a pre-vue of
spring. Honey bees buzzed, small
boys waded happily through mud-
puddles, and the groundhog saw his
shadow, but didn’t do anything
about it.
Castle Inn was leased to Gene
Gabriel of Pikes Creek, former man-
ager of Redington Hotel.
Marie Dressler was the star of a
picture “Prosperity” at Himmler
Theatre.
Four airplane pilots dropped
flowers over St. Mary's Cemetery as
Rev. J. E. Sullivan, the “flying
priest” was buried.
Rev. F. D. Hartsock, pastor of
Dallas M. E. Church, officiated at
services for Mrs. Wilhelmina Krauss,
Dallas, who died at 77 of pneu-
monia. *
You could get a tall can of evap-
orated milk for a mickel, and eggs
for 19 cents a dozen, pork butt for
8 cents a pound.

led trees, signs, fences, uprooted
roofs,
It Huppened
20 Years Ago
When a heavy snow blocked
roads for motorized equipment,
Cliff Space sent in a team to bring
out the Goodleigh Farm milk. A few
weeks later, another storm struck,
and Cliff sent in a ‘team, saying it
was the neighborly thing to do. Each
time he refused payment. But Mary
Weir, farm manager, settled her
cbligation by presenting Cliff with
a purebred Guernsey bull calf. Little
Romulus’ mother won the State
championship for production, two
years after her calf went to Mr.
Space. Cliff stated he wouldn't take
$1,500 for his bull.
Mrs. Jennie Buffington, teacher
at Lehman schools, died after sur-
gery.
John Miller, 87, a native of
Switzerland and a former prospector
for gold, died at the old Brace farm
in East Dallas.
Heaviest snowfall of ‘the season
kept snow plows busy all night.
Dallas rationing board was order-
ed to make drastic cuts in B and C
gas rations, holding that there was
less ride sharing in the area than
indicated, and gas was becoming
steadily scarcer.
A cartoon in a magazine showed
two cars on the empty road, one
driver saying “Hi, Doc,” the other
“Hi, Reverend.”
Night clubs were finding heavy
sledding since the ban on pleasure
driving.
A Piiiar to Post outlined the diffi-
culties of reserving a berth in a
Pullman between Philadelphia and
Norfolk. Remember standing in
those swaying aisles or perching on
a suitcase, while mere civilians got
the brushoff and the sailors reigned
supreme ? It didn’t pay to travel un-
less absolutely necessary during the
war, “There's a war on,” was the
standard come-back to civilians
And it was a pleasure to give ur
accomodations for boys who would
soon be fighting it out on the high
seas, or drowning in a smother 0

From—
Pillar To Post...
By Hix
Would it be asking too much of the groundhog to stay in his
burrow Saturday and pass up that annual chance to see his shadow?
On account of, most of us have HAD it.
This has been the most brutal winter in many a year, a godsend
to the fuel dealers, and the service stations, but not what the doctor :
ordered for people whose cars must stand out in the driveway as
the mercury shrinks down into the bulb and draws the bulb around
it.
This spring should find householders studying blueprints for an
attached garage, and figuring estimates on the cost of laying a new
driveway on the opposite side of the house, uprooting a section of
picket fence, and relocating it across the present driveway, all in
the interests of preserving what frontage to the winter sun there is
on the southeast.
Anyhow, that’s what one householder on Pioneer Avenue is
considering.
But then, theres this counter-thought. After all, Rov many
subzero mornings do we have in this area, compared with how many
mild mornings when the car starts up in a flash?
And what about the idea of a small collapsible aluminum tent
which could be hoisted into place with one finger in the face of an
expected reading of ten below at 7 am.?
And, happy thought, what about those crocus shoots, already -
pushing their way toward the surface through the frozen earth?
Six more weeks, and in sunny spots close to the house, warmed by
reflected sunshine, those crocuses will be in bloom, orange cups open- :
ing to the buzzing bees, green shoots of hyacinth pricking through
the humus, and a solicitous cardinal stepping politely back from the
bird feeder so that the lady friend whom he has nudged aside all
winter may have first go at the sunflower seed. %
Ah, spring.
Come to think of it, we don’t have a winter like this in a blue
moon. Maybe next year the thermometer will remain safely above
zero, ‘a situation to be deplored by the fuel dealers, but a break for
Mr. I. Q. Public. .
Probably it would be a sinful extravagance to build a garage
and relocate the driveway.
But it certainly would be comfortable to step out of the cellar
door into a garage instead of stepping out the side door into! a drift
and excavating the car with a shovel.
Come next summer, these subzero mornings might be a happy
memory in the grip of a heat wave.
Six more weeks of nipped fingers and ice on the windshield.
Six more weeks. That is, if the groundhog sees his shadow.
But if he should stay put Saturday and not venture forth, the
oldtimers say that spring will come on apace.
Of course, there are other oldtimers who say that if he doesn’t
see his shadow, goodness knows when spring will come, because
there will be nothing to frighten him and he just might sleep until
April.
One thing is for sure, you can’t win.
Not in weather like this.
And of course there’s that annual March blizzard to anticipate,
the blizzard that the papers always refer to as phenomenal, the usual
BP
unusual March weather.
Followed, naturally, by the five onion snows early in April.
Move over, groundhog, here I come.
