Mr. Space, 73, longtime resident
of Dallas since purchasing the Ry-
man farm on Huntsville (Road
Benton two years ago, several years
after retiring from the dairy farm
business. Residents will remember
the heavy snow of ‘the spring of |
1950, which took down a large por-
tion of his barn. Mr. Space’s stone
fences were landmarks on Hunts-
ville Road.
He suffered his first heart attack
in the fall, while fighting a brush
fire on his place near Benton.
Folks who knew him well could
distinguish between his wry humor |
and his statement of fact, by his
irrepressible twinkle; a dead give-
away when gently ribbing his
friends. Taxpayers who attended
a meeting some years ago, when
reassessment of properrty was first
proposed in Dallas Borough, will |
not soon forget Mr. Space’s re-
action to the proposal, and his]

. plaint that having sold off a goodly
portion of his farm, he was now
being assessed on ‘a larger valua-

twinkle was present, and ‘the meet

look at the situation.

Kiwanis Plans
Pancake Feast
An All-Day Project,
For Community Good
In the interest of a number of
worthy projects, Dallas Kiwanis is
once again testing whether any-
thing sells quite as well as the
proverbial hot-cake.
The club is sponsoring an Aunt
Jemima Pancake Day as their fund
raising project for the year. This
affair will be held Saturday May
4th at Dallas Senior High School,
serving from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The
menu is as follows: all the pan-
cakes you can eat, sausage, Hi-C
juice, Karo syrup, cookies, and
coffee for adults: and milk or
orange drink for children.
This year the funds derived will
be used for community service.
Community service projects are:
aiding needy families, giving boots,
rubbers, and shoes to children in
needy families, aiding the Boy
Scout troop at Kis-Lyn Industrial
School, sponsoring a farm league of
Baseball for Boys, and the support
of other community projects. The
Scholarship Fund when fully de-
veloped will give four years support
‘to students selected. Key Club and
drill teams are also sponsored by
the Kiwanis Club.
Chairman of the affair is George
Thomas, who announced that the
door prize will be a Deluxe Electric
range donated by Luzerne Division
oft U.GIL and the Admiral Sales
Corp. Plans are also being made
‘to have entertainment all during
the day.
Last year the day was a tremen-
dous success for whole Back Moun-
tain, and it is hoped that once again
this, affair will be supported by all
of us to the fullest. Tickets can be
obtained from members of the Dallas

Speculation Recalls
When Plant Folded
Although its fate may not be dis-
closed for some time to come, the
tannery in Noxen, recently sold,
has become the topic of conversa-
tion around the village.
Foremost persisting rumors, some
ridiculous, some not, have it that
the big plant will be occupied by:
an aircraft industry, a Masonite
manufacturing company, an expan-
sion of the Lake-Noxen Clinic, and”
a butcher shop for a local chain |
grocery store.
When ‘the plant was announced
as up for sale late in 1961, feeling
was that its future might lie in
light wood or furniture craft.
On the darker side of things, it
is a fact that few tanneries, once
closed down, have ever come to
life in the form of some other in-
dustry. Kunkle, Jamison City, and
Tunkhannock tanneries closed in
the last century, and no new
industry took over the plants. Ar-
mour tanneries at St. Mary's and
at Silva, N. C., are still shut down
and empty.
Disappearance of the lumber in-
dustry hastened the demise of one
tannery after another.
At present there are few men
still out of work in Noxen because
the plant closed. ‘At that time
there were 108 employees, most of
whom were reportedly in the upper
age brackets.
“Generally depressed conditions”
were given as the reason for the
tannery folding in 1961, according
to P. W. Kenyon, manager at Wil-
liamsport. Lay-offs preceded the
announcement. by weeks at that
time. .
Before that, when the tannery
was producing at maximum, it had
an average annual payroll of $700,-
000, and paid local taxes of $9,732,
of which $6,396 went for school
taxes.
{About 660 hides were put to soak
daily, rolled at Noxen, and shipped
for finishing and solecutting to
Williamsport.
Plant was first started in 1889 |
by the late G. K. Mosser, Allen-
town, and carried on by two more
ger erations of Mossers until it was
solid to Armour in 1914.
World War 1, and was rebuilt in
1918-1919.
In the ensuing years, ‘the tan-
nery was the principal source of
employment in Noxen, and in 1941,
at its peak, "it offered work for
217 persons.
Increased Fire Calls
Noxen fire chief Calvin Strohl re-
quests cooperation of filling the coin-
cards now distributed in the greater
Noxen area, upper Beaumont and
lower Evans Falls. The company’s
responses to fires have more than
doubled since last year in less than
a year’s time, and equipment will
need added repair.
Lake Scouts
Get Army Tour
Local MP Personnel
Show Guns, Tanks
Twenty Scouts from Harveys
Lake Troop 331 were thrilled last
week with what was probably their
first face to face encounter with
a real submachine gun and a real
tank.
Their host was 402nd Military
Police Battalion, located north of
Wilkes-Barre on the Dupont High-
way, whose commanding officer Lt.
Colonel Carl Burt Olsen, Trucks-
ville Gardens, got together with
Malcolm Nelson, Alderson, an ac-
tive supporter of the troop, and
planned the visit.
With the Scouts were Art West,
scoutmaster, Tom Smith, assistant
scoutmaster, Lou Laning, commit-
teeman, and Nelson.
Among those members of the
outfit showing the boys around the
installation were Lt. Robert Rich-
ardson, Dallas, and Sergeant John
Berti, Trucksville.
Scout group assembled at 8 that
Monday evening at the center,
where ‘they were welcomsad~ and
were: explained the mission and
make-up of 402nd MP POW Camp.
Split. into two groups, some of
the Scouts enjoyed forty-five: min.
utes of explanation and practical
work at the .22 rifle range, while
the others were shown enclosure
mock-up of a POW camp, arms
room display including bazooka and
automatic weapons, supply room
{and motor pool.
After mass orientation and re-
freshments, hot dogs cooked by
military personnel on camp equip-
ment, and sodas, the two groups of
Scouts exchanged tours.
Troop 331 usually meets Wed-
nesday nights, but an exception was
made ‘that night in order to have
the meeting time coincide with the
Reserve meeting.

Williamsport Says:
“Nothing To Add”
An official statement by Ar-
mour and Company as to the
disposition of the Noxen tan-
nery may not be forthcoming
for some ‘time, according to
Raymond Evelan, operations
manager at the Williamsport
plant, Newbury.
Erroneous reports in certain
local news media to the effect
that the company would def-
initely issue a statement this
week notwithstanding, Mr. Ev-
elan said yesterday he had
presently “nothing to add to
what has appeared in your
paper.”
Decisions are issued from the
Real Estate Department of the
Chicago headquarters 4 of Ar- |
mour and Company, according
to Mr. Evelan.
When contacted last week
by the Post, the Armour office
in Newbury said that no one
would be available for comment
on report of the plant's sale
until this week, and that con-
sequently no declaration could
be made until this time.

Girls Brave Cold
|'To Watch Movies
Movies must be better than ever,
if two girls will sit outside in near
freezing weather to watch a double
feature. r
So says Jim Stiefel, manager of
Dallas Outdoor Theater, who was
astonished Sunday last week
when Janine Dierolf and Elaine
Guilford, both of Dallas, walked
up ‘to the ticket booth with blankets
in hand.
The girls were bundled against
thirty-five degree weather in slacks,
several sweaters, and winter coats.
They asked to buy tickets.
Stiefel scratched his head dubi-
ously, and asked, first of all, did
they know the temperature, and
second of all, was it okay by their
mothers ?
The girls said yes, and he let
them in. ' They stayed for two and
a fraction feature runs of “Sodom
and Gomorrah” and ‘ Young Gun
of Texas’, from about 9 till mid-
night. Some 150 people watched
the shows with them, all in cars.

watching happens now and again

LATE NIGHT RATES
REDUCED TO PUSH
‘DIRECT DIALING
Commonwealth = Telephone
Company inaugurated on April
4, a new system of night rates
covering the period between 9
p. m. and 4:30 a. m., reducing
rates or station to station ser-
vices on calls on distances of
more than 220 miles.
At the same time it increased
up-to and ‘including 800 miles,
for person-to-person | calls, “by
five or ten cents. y
The new arrangement was
designed to promote greater
use of the direct dialing system,
relieving the load on operators,
and more efficient use of the
late hours when calls normally
slack off:
The hour is figured from the
point of origin. If a subscriber
dials a call to California at ex-
actly 9 p. m., his maximum
rate for the first three minutes
is $1.00, even though ‘the con-
nection is made in California at
6 p. m.; and for the next seven
and one-half hours, he gets the
same fantastic bargain.

Some Road Woes’
Township Building
‘Runs Into A Wall
Extensive repairs to existing town-

ter will supersede all other consid-
erations on the Kingston Township
spring agenda. ;
Lester Hauck, speaking. for the
group said,. “Following our, recent
| tour; we found ‘the scope of the work
to be fantastic. In some sectors roads
will have to be rebuilt. Frost is still
in ‘the ground. It will take two
months to determine the amount of
work needed to repair present dam-
age.”
His statement followed the re-
quest of Edgewood Heights resid-
ents for a new road at the regular
meeting of the board last week.
{A recommendation by one of the
group that a guard rail be placed
near the drain pipe installed last
year in this section and edging on
a steep bank was received with
favor.
Brook , Street ditch problem will
be repaired shortly by ‘township
crews, ‘as the gas company does not
acknowledge responsibility for dam-
age in this matter.

hired to assist with the road repairs.
