WHAT NEW HIGHWAY?
For two years now, the highway has looked like the
approach to a public dump.
Owners of filling stations have been obliged to
abandon their sites and their livelihood.
Stores have folded.

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1963
By The Oideimes
ter (Sessions issued an order on the
pending petition for a new town-
ship as follows: “The court confirms
the division, and in testimony of the
respect which the court entertains
for the late Alexander James Dallas,
call the new township ‘DALLAS’.”
So was Dallas Township named for
‘Alexander James Dallas who had
died at Trenton, N.J., Jan. 14, 1817.
Probably the petitioners were sur-
prised. They had asked that the old
Township of Bedford be reinstated,
by cutting off from the Townships
of Kingston and Plymouth the addi-
tional land back of the mountain,
which had been added only a few
years before. There is nothing to
show that there was any local reason
for the name.
Alexander J. Dallas, son of a
Scottish physician, was born in Ja-
maica in 1759, married to Arabella
Maria Smith, daughter of an army
officer stationed in Jamaica. He was
educated as a lawyer in London and
at the University of Edinburgh and
admitted to the Bar. But the climate
of England did not agree with Mrs.
Dallas, so the family moved to Phil-
adelphia in 1783, then the capital of
the United States and of Pennsyl-
vania. It was the largest city in the
country, mlso the wealthiest and
most cultured. As soon as possible
he became a citizen and a member
of the Bar in 1785. He became ac-
tive in politics, was a founder of the
Democratic Society, and for four-
teen years was Federal Attorney for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
He was appointed by President
Madison as a member of the peace
commission at ‘the end of the War
of 1812, but his appointment was
not acceptable to some of the politi-
cal leaders and Albert Gallatin was
sent instead. Dallas was appointed
Secretary of the Treasury in 1814-
1815, part of the time serving 'also
as Secretary of War during the ill-
ness of James Monroe. He retired
from public life in 1816 end return-
ed to his law practice. He was try-
ing @ case In Trenton at the time
of his death.
George Mifflin Dallas, ‘son of the
preceding, was born in Philadelphia,
educated as a lawyer at Princeton
and married Sophie Micklin in 1818.
He enlisted in the War of 1812 but
resigned in 1813 to go to Ghent as
Secretary to Albert Gallatin, one of
the commissioners. He was at sea

bringing the treaty home when the
Battle of New Orleans was fought.
Like his father, he was active in
Democratic politics in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, and the United States.
He was deputy attorney general,
district attorney, and mayor of the
city. He served as U.S. Senator,
minister to Russia, and Vice Presi-
dent during ‘the term of James K.
Polk. Later he returned to the prac-
tice of law, but was sent as am-
bassador to Great Britain in 1856
by President Van Buren and con-
tinued by President Buchanan. He
came home in 1861 and died in
1864.
There are about fifteen towns
named “Dallas”, or including the
word “Dallas” in‘ the name, in the
United States. While not too much
written, it would appear that our
own Dallas, named for the father,
Alexander J. Dallas, is the oldest,
most of the others having been nam-
ed for the son, George M, Dallas.
The many towns of the same name
causes some confusion in mailing,
ete. as many have heard of only the
big Dallas, Texas. When we were
married we had to start housekeep-
ing without a dining table, due to
some clerk having made a bill of
loading to read, Dallas, Texas.
There is a Dallas City in McKean
County, almost up to the New York
State line, and a Dallastown in York
County near the Maryland line.
There are towns named “Dallas”, in
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa,
North Carolina, Oregon, ‘South Da-
kota, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and
a Dallas Center, Dallas County, Iowa,

Toby, who continued to reside in
Kingston Township after its settle-

latter being on the hillside above

HUNTING LICENSE INCREASE
Dear Editor;
With the great number of hunters
in the Back Mountain, I think that
they should know what is going to
be done with the money if the
Game ‘Commission gets the hunting
license increase.
1 myself as a conservationist and
hunter talked to Roy W. Trexler,
supervisor of the Northeastern Divi-
sion of the Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission, and asked him if he would
| tell some of the improvements to be,
done with the license increase.
We first talked about improving
| the Commission's nurseries to make
available more plants. Then we
talked about improving of our game
lands by being able to hire more
men to take care of the game lands
by this increase.
Mr. Trexler also told me that they
could also be able to buy more
game lands and give the hunters
better hunting grounds. This I know
would help with persons and clubs

ts which could be done hy the

are a conservationist or hunter, no

you should contact your local Game

THANKS FROM JOHN B.
Dear Sir;
In the eighteen years I have been
in Scouting. I have found that
people have gone out of their way
to help the Scouts.” I guess we
sort of take it for granted and for-
get to thank our benefactors for
their kindnesses.
For this reason and because we
really appreciate the many things
that have been done for us, I would
like to thank you for everything
you have done for us this past
week,
I know all my Scouts and their
families want to thank you.
For my Assistant Scoutmaster
Jim McCoog and myself.

POST WALKING TEAM
In keeping with President Theo-
dore Roosevelt's dicta on keeping
marines physically fit, and in Presi-
dent Kennedy's revival of the cult,
a Dallas Post employee is now in
training for long-distance walking,
Preferring to remain nameless un-
til after certain distance and sp=ed
goals have been attained, this person
nevertheless announced Monday
completion of a twenty-some mile
walk from Dallas to Mogan’s Diner,
Tunkhannock, Sunday, in five hours
and fifteen minutes.
The jaunt, which started at 5:17
a.m., was accomplished non-stop,
except for one pause—a must.
THE RUSH-HOUR STOMP
At rush and lunchtime hours,
traffic around the parking lot be-
tween Church and Lake Streets be-
hind the filling station is “pretty
funny.
I haven't seen so much automotive
metal groping around helplessly
since the last time I tried to get
into Manhattan by the Lincoln Tun-
nel on a summer Sunday night.
From the stand-point that every-
out life over great spaces, and to
mold our being into a great shopping
center existence, with built-in safety
and bliss, this center of Dallas has
remnants of old-world charm.
From the stand-point of practical-
ity, if any ‘given rush-hour traffic
situation evokes a laugh from any
party concerned, it is doing well.
Ice and snow seem to have an
affinity for the section of Lake
Street which lies between the park-
ing lot and Post Office. Cars are
always emerging from the lot at
weird angles, and pushing their luck
on the ice.
Meanwhile, trucks are coming in
and out of the Post Office. They
use care, but they are just one more
item in the way.
Meanwhile Backwater doesn’t feel
like driving his car through to
Church Street and waiting for the
light, just ‘to make a lousy turn up
the highway, when he can much
more easily back out onto Lake,
and go out the cut-off.
At the same time, Bargely has just
fifteen minutes to get from his home
in Shrine Acres to the office in town,
and spots a green light in his favor
just as he gets abreast of the tele-
phone company. The Light lasts
about one and a half seconds.
And even then, five lovely Miseri-
cordia students are studying philoso-
phy in transit from Post Office to
restaurant. ° :
Meanwhile, whoever has finished
putting his letters in that pernicious
arm-length mail-box, pulls his car
out into traffic.
Meanwhile, the three drivers who
have managed to squeeze their iron
from the highway into the cut-off to
Lake Street have tossed into the
wind ‘their daily guess as to whether
there is any on-coming traffic be-
hind the truck parked in front of
the milk-machine, and they make
a break for it.
Tt’s like being in Paris when “the
taxis are in bloom, this little bit of
our own back yard, this last strong-
hold of the devil-may-care driver,
where the puny are quickly sorted
out, and might is all in the wrist.
Edward Gilroy Dies
At Mercy Hospital
Edward E. Gilroy, gravely ill at
his home on Sunset Avenue, Shav-
ertown, for a long time, died aged
58 Tuesday afternoon at Mercy Hos-
pital.
Funeral arrangements are private,
at the convenience of the family,
from the Snowdon Funeral Home,
with burial at Memorial Shrine.
Rev. Lyle O. Snyder will officiate.
A native of West Pittston, his

at Hazard Okonite Company for 29
years, retiring five years ago.
He leaves in addition to his
widow, the former Z. Pearl Harding,
a brother Leo Gilroy of Hanover
Township, several nieces and nep-
ews. Mrs. Gilroy is a mainstay of
Wyoming Valley Red Cross and its
Bloodmobile program, and also a
Grey Lady at Veterans’ Hospital.
Mrs, Gilroy rounds up blood donors

Faulty Numbering ?
James Goodwin, Harris Hill Road,
has had to change the deed to his
property, insurance policies and
many other important items receiv-
ed by mail due to the change in
numbering of homes. He cannot con-
ceive how his house received the
number 66, since it is located some
distance from the highway and his
neighbor was assigned the number
112.
Four licenses usually come to the
Goodwin home. Two were delivered,
two were not.
