The State Police say they can do nothing where roads are guarded by officers designated by the municipality unless the municipality makes a request. There are three municipalities concerned with traffic on Pioneer Avenue: Kingston Township, Dallas Township, and Dallas Borough. As the construction work expands on the lower road, ‘the upper road is used more and more by folks who con- sider it a shortcut to the Lake, not realizing that the traffic light i Central Dallas is timed to let cars onto the main drag in dribbles, and that the time a motorist saves by scorching along Pioneer Avenue will be swallow- ed by the time he spends waiting for the lighti at the tail of a long procession. What we need along Pioneer Avenue is a whole series of pot-holes to slow down the speedsters. paving was laid several] years ~ safe for kittens and children, Before the new ago, it was a peaceful street with cars picking their way carefully, and cursing the bumps.

A. Waters SR a I EE RR EEN NES The - recent Indian assembly at Wyalusing followed a couple of weeks later by the commemoration of the Battle of Wyoming calls to mind how very one-sided all the instruction about Indians was in our school days. It is unfortunate that all the faults of the Indians were magnified and all their virtues ig- nored, while the savage conduct of whites was purposely overlooked. Amerigo Vespucci, whose name is perpetuated in two continents, had a battle with the Indians and as a result was able to land at Cadiz in Spain on October 15, 1498, and sell 222 Indians as slaves. In a few years Indians in the West Indies were practically wiped out, although in Mexico and some other Spanish dominated lands there are substan- tial pure or part Indios populations to this day. Fishermen and traders in the New England area enticed Indians aboard their vessels by “strong- water” and took them away, some to slavery. A few were well treat- ed; among them Squanto, who re- turned to America speaking English and later befriended the Pilgrims. The Dutch in New Amsterdam and along the Delaware, and the Swedes and William Penn: in the same area, purchased lands from the Indians. The same was done to a limited extent elsewhere, but in many places Indians were consid- ered to have no claims at all. The French got along best v ! dians. French and Sp and other Roman Cat! convert the Indians were Indians were | scattered. When the sacked Deerfield, Mass. away captives, som considered they had favor and refused to ry > Bay Pealm. Book. Rev. Jacob John son, later longtime pastor in Wilkes- Barre, once served as a missionary to the Iroquois. Some Quakers served as missionaries, but the most zealous and successful were the Moravians, mostly in our own state. It is true some 300 whites were killed in Virginia as early as 1622 and there were Indian Wars in al- most all the colonies. Much of this was invited by the whites, either by encroachments on Indian lands, or by inducements and counter-induce- ments of English rum, French Brandy, trade goods, firearms, etc., to secure advantages in the fur) trade, the Dutch amd Spanish alsd| being involved. When the Indians engaged in war, frequently after abundant provoca- tiom, retaliation by the whites was severe in the extreme. Five hun- dred Indians, men, women, and children were burned to death in the Pequot War and Anya Seton in Safety The Winthrop Woman relates how an up-ended plank was covered with Pequot hands while the Puritans claimed Indian slaves according to their rank, ' the leading Puritans getting the more desirable. After King Philip's War, his widow and son were sold into slavery by the self-righteous Puritans. The French and Indian War brought mumerous Indian attacks, each side encourag- ing friendly Indians to attack the other. Im 1763, Pontiac made the first big Indian effort to regain con- trol and for a while succeeded in some areas, Indians fought on both sides in ‘the Revolution. Tom Quick, whose father had been killed by Indians in the Milford area, personally killed 99 Indians. Lt. Col. John Armstrong destroyed the Indian town at Kittanning in 1756 and was honored by a medal and paid 272 pounds for Indian scalps and returned prisoners. A New Jersey unit was homored for destroying Indians in that area. “The Paxtang Boys’ made a might attack and killed a few Indians at Conestoga, subsequently attacked the Lancaster jail, where the sur- vivors had been placed for their own protection, and killed them all. Brewster calls this, “The most de- plorable and disgraceful incident of our frontier history”. The Moravian Indians, hated and distrusted by the savage Indians, and despised by lawless whites were | driven from place to place over the ears, sometimes having several | substantial towns. The following is | condensed from The Pennsylvania ‘and New York Frontier by William Brewster, Claiming peaceful inten- ‘tions the whites visited several In- dian settlements, persuaded the Christian Indians to deliver up their arms, then made them pris- | oners. “Sixteen of the band (whites) voted for their removal . . . and took no further part. The sentence of death was pronounced . . . amd they were told they could have the night to prepare to die. The hapless victims spent the night in supplica- tion/ and prayer, and singing the beautiful hymns they knew so well. In the early morning, March 8, 1782, they were bound with ropes. The men were confined in one house and the women and children in another. The miscreants clubbed some of thém to death, and with their hatchets hacked the bodies of others to pieces. Old women were murdered in the most cruel manner and little children were seized by the legs and their brains beaten out against the logs of the building.” “Ninety-six were slain, sixty-two grown men and women and thirty- four, children. Two young men es- caped, one of whom had been left for dead, scalped”. J Nothing was ever done against the murderers. Afterward some even held public office, Valve Hands Off, Jimmie Dear Mrs. Hicks: I-am sure you have had many, many letters of compliments on your editorial, “Hands off Jimmie”. Please accept one more. I read it when it appeared in the Post and thought it was a wonder- ful amd timely topic.

I know a kindergarten teacher who takes her class to the grocery to indoctrinate them, explaining in advance that the things do not belong to them, and that it is a privilege to be allowed to go up and down the aisles, enjoy- ing, but not touching. That kinder- garten class is welcome in the gro- cery. The grocer beams when they leave, handing each child a lollipop. COMMUNITY PROJECT July 20, 1963 Dear Mrs. Hicks, Bob and I would like to acknowl- edge publicly our debt of gratitude to all the individuals and organiza- tions who gave so generously of their time to make this year’s Li- brary Auction a success. It is truly | an inspiration to watch this great community project in action and be a part of it. This 1963 Auction was a success, last year’s auction likewise, and the year before that etc. I have no doubt that those yet to come will also be successful, for this reason— the Library Auction affords each of us the chance to give whatever we can for the bemefit of something worthwhile. Whether we are young or old, have lots of money or not so much, the opportunity is there to contribute something according to our various means and abilities. A pan of rolls, a few pots of African violets, some favorite books, odds amd ends and used furniture from the attic; these donations are multiplied over and over and over again from all parts of the com- munity. Added to a large supply of new goods from merchants and businessmen, this makes up the materiel wealth of our Auction. Likewise am hour or two of time from a.great many people adds up to the manpower for a big project. A spirit of giving pervades the town — like Christmas in July, and -all of us as well as the Library are the better for it. I hesitate to single out one group of individuals for special praise in connection with a project toward which so many persons contributed so much; but I cannot close with- |out. a resounding pat on the back for the members of the Dallas High School Key Club. This group of boys gave unsparingly of their time to help put the Auctiom to- Will Be Tuesday THE 36 - 3. 40 BERNARD Wilkes-Barre, Pa. | NAA. J. Public Auction August 6, 1963 at 1PM.

Better Leighton Never ) by Leighton Scott WHERE'S THE GIANT-KILLER? “If its mot one darned thing, it’s another”, as an old teacher of mine used to look at me and say. This week it’s the Giants Despair Hillclimb, not a event, but still of interest for lots of afficionados from around here. Ome name I haven't seen on the entry list so far is that of the man who last year registered the fastest time (unofficial) ever clocked on the course: As compared to three-time win- ner John Van Meyer's record of 55.858 seconds which took overall first last year, Mike Wood, Har- veys Lake, registered a screamin’ 55.1 in what is essentially a four- wheeled motorcycle. Trouble was he did it Friday im the ‘trials, in- stead of Saturday when it counted. Mike’s tiny machine was a 500 cubic centimeter Cooper, amd the midget really proved to be a little Giant-killer, by comparison to Meyer's monster Pontiac Special. I know Mike hoped to five an even faster Norton engine for his car this year, but meanwhile got married, and went the way of many a good man. He's up in Rochester, New York, mow. NATURAL RESPONSE Spending some time at the scene of the ‘truck accident at the inter- section of Route 118 and the Lake highway I heard the repeated re- sponse: “They ought to do some- thing with this intersection”. Ac- tually, of course, the driver knew the intersection quite well. In any case, they ought to do something aoout the intersection, like everybody says. Can’t help feeling that a light might be put there to some advantage. Well, half of Lehman stopped and expressed the same viewpoint when they saw the big rig slopped into the West Dallas canyon. The problem is, it’s not Lehman there, it’s Dallas Township, so sentiment will have to be whipped up in that municipality before any tax money will be laid out for a light. Incidentally, I was told that original plans for the: intersection called for a clover-leaf pattern, but that mounting expense killed the idea as time went on. Did you ever hear that? BETTER SHORT THAN NOT Rough week this week, so it’s a short column. Cenfucius say: Short column better than mo column at all. The man with the twangy typewriter was busy laying out our splendiferous supplemental tabloid, and fishing. See you at the races. Appeals’ Board (Continued from Page 1-A) Erection of a picket fence on the rented property of Dr. Thomas Getz, Main Street, Shavertown, came under close study, as it con- stitutes am obstacle to visibility on a busy intersection. Mathers proposed that corner post be removed and fence made diagonal in the section nearest E. Center Street. Height of enclosure was = permitted at four feet since fromtage of 30 feet was observed. Board approved construction for this tenant only on the amended conditions. Fence was sought as a safety measure to protect small child in the family. gether, to keep it running smoothly for three days and to take it apart again. The Back Mountain can well be proud of the Key Club, not’ only for their marching prowess, but for the fine example of com- munity service which they set for us all.
