THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1963 Mount Zion -: -2- Carverton 2 Orange MT. ZION Many people were concerned when they heard that Wesley Lewis was back in the hospital for fear it might be a recurrence of his former trouble. But it was for tests, no serious results were reported, and he is home from the hospital. Pfc. Raymond Scull, United States Marines, is home for the week-end from Cherry Point, N. C. Mary Louise Lewis and Nettie Parrish recently went to Downing- town, near Philadelphia to visit Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Drake. Mr. Drake is in Y.M.C.A. work and has recent- ly been transferred to Downingtown where there is a YM.C.A. camp. Well, I finished up last Sunday by preaching down in West Pittston at the Luzerne Avenue Baptist Church at a union service at 7:30. O yes, it snowed last Sunday as usual, CARVERTON In talking with Mrs. George Kasaba the other day I asked if it was ther boy that I used to see coming down the road to the school bus, back when I lived down on that corner of what is called in the phone book the “Bodle Road”. She said that was “Bud’’. He stands out in my memory of the boys in that section as a very fine appear- ing and nice acting lad. She tells me he now lives in California and is doing construction work. Mrs. Alex Kosteck; of Carverton is expecting her sister, Genevieve Wishneski in from Newark for the Post Office Woes Our local post office under the thumb of Postmaster William Davis, Wilkes-Barre, came in for more criticism over the weekend. One carrier, who had performed extra service for his customers was called on the carpet by officials down- town. It should be very apparent that the city office has little con- cern for folkg in the Back Mountain. When a man cannot do as he thinks best, it is hardly fair that he be chastised for matters beyond his control. This applies to the office force as well. All is not rosy since Wilkes-Barre grabbed our sta- tions to add to its own revenues and bolster its rating. ' Heavy snowfall Sunday brought shouts of delight from youngsters and visions of a day off from classes, but church attendance suffered when cars had difficulty negotiat- ing the thoroughfares. . We are proud of our ambulance crews and the excellent job they are doing rendering outstanding service to all in the community.

We, who cherish your friendship, are stand- ing by.” Mr. and Mrs. George Trudgeon and son, Dallas, were guests af the home of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Pope and family Sunday evening.

Over visiting friend Joe Perry How a guy can grin while laid up both with a broken hip and arth- ritis T don’t know. But Joe does it, lat least for visitors. Joe's never stuck for lack of something worth while to visit about, for he is an exceptionally well-read man aside from his background of college, And his wife Frieda does needle work and other forms of art craft. While I was there, Stanley Jones dropped in for a chat. He tells me that his wife, who recently broke her ankle, is returning to the hos- pital for another X-ray to see how the bone is mending. | Idetown Couple’s club met in the church house on Saturday night.
