Editorially Speaking:
It’s Our Little
Theatre, Too
Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre is keeping its nose
above water by herculean efforts.
Upon several occasions
during the past forty years, the Little Theatre has been
on the verge of being swept away, but has been rescued,
and has been saved by artificial respiration.
It is the oldest such group in the country which has
been operating continuously,
and the third chartered.
One thing which has served as a stranglehold, and
one which could be eliminated,
is the amusement tax,
which was never intended to work a hardship on a com-
munity enterprise.
Out of every dollar taken in at the box office, Little
_ Theatre has to give ten cents for amusement tax.
The Chamber of Commerce realizes the cultural value
of the Little Theatre, enlarging upon in brochures of the
community.
Somebody, perhaps the Chamber of Commerce, should
carry the ball to get abatement of the amusement tax.
Little Theatre, like any other cultural project, sails
always very close to the wind.
3 That tax, ten cents on every dollar, could well mean
the difference between life and death of a truly remark-
_ able institution, one which reflects credit upon the Back
Mountain as well as the Valley.
Many of our people are active in Little Theatre, either
as members of the cast, or serving on the directorate and
on committees.
How about it, Joe? You've made every effort in the
past to put the Little Theatre on its feet; including trips
to Harrisburg to protest the
amusement tax.
How about an all-out effort again, to help get that
tax abated?
Joe Who?
Joe MacVeigh, of course.

; THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, AUGUST. 8, 1963
By The Oldtimer
It is generally agreed and offi-
cially stated that there is a surplus
of milk. It is likewise pretty gen-
erally accepted that the surplus has
the effect of reducing the unit price
and’ therefore the income of dairy
farmers. There seems to be a sur-
plus of distributors also.
The consumers price of milk is
regulated somewhat by what the
traffic will bear. It is high, maybe
too high, now. Therefore the pros-
perity of the distributors, unless
they reduce expenses somewhere
else, must be at the expense of the
farmers, While ‘this is denied by
the distributors and some profes-
sional economists, the farmers, who
sustain the squeeze of increasing
production costs and falling income,
are forced by hard facts to continu-
ally increase efficiency or go out of
business. Many times the expense
for machinery, etc., to stay in busi-
ness at all, is extremely burden-
some.
All figures hereinafter are for the
whole country, on am average basis,
furnished by’ the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, unless otherwise
stated. Since milk is handled by
the pound until it is placed im fluid
containers, and dairy products are
from milk bought by the pound,
equivalents are used as follows: 1
qt. is paid for as 2.18 lbs.; in butter,
cheese, ete., the equivalent quantity
of milk required is estimated per
pound of finished product. In any
certain area, actual prices may be
more or less.
In 1922, retail price of milk was
12.6 cents, the farmer got 5.3 cents,
the middlemen 7.3 cents. The farm-
er’'s share of the retail price was
42%. In the depression year of
1933, retail price was 9.8 cents,
farmer’s share 3.7 cents, middle-
men's share 6.1 cents, farmers share
38%, lowest since 1922.
In the highest priced year on
record, 1952 for farmers, the farm-
er received 11.9 cents, but the retail
price jumped to 23.2 cents, giving
the middleman 11.3 cents. The
farmer for a year or two got 51%
of the retail price. This has dropped
right along ever since. In 1960 the
farmer got 10.9 cemts out of a retail
Rambling Around
— D. A. Waters
price of 25.3 cents or 43%, leaving
14.4 cents or 57% for the middle-
men. All these figures are subject
to slight revisions for 1943-1946 in
which certain price supports ap-
| plied. Using price support figures
the farmer got 50% to 59% in some
of those years, Also in 1947-48, no
supports, the farmer got 54%, with
prices 10.3 to 11.3 cents out of re-
tail prices of 19.0 cents and 21.1
cents.
For the equivalent of a pound of
butter the farmer got 43.8 cents in
1919 out of a retail price of 68.8
cents, middleman’s share 25 cents,
farmer’s percentage 64%. Except-
ing for the depression years of 1932
was 53%, most of the time it ran
in the 60% class up to World War
II. Then it jumped to 71% to,84%.
Estimating price supports for those
years it ran from 80% to 101%. In
1960 the farmer received 53.1 cents
out of a retail price of 74.9 cemts or
71%, middleman’s share 21.8 cents.
For milk equivalent of a pound of
American : cheese selling at 21.6
cents in 1913, the farmer got 13.4
cents or 62%. In 1932 retail price
was 22.6 but the farmer got only
8.5 cemts, or 38%. The middleman
got 14.1 cents or 62%. The burden
of ‘the depression in the cheese fell
entirely on the farmer, or almost: so.
Again in World War II the farmer’s
share jumped to 60% to 67% with-
out supports, estimated with sup-
ports as 69% to 81%. In 1960, the
farmer received 29.6 cents or 49%
of retail price 60.6 cents.
For evaporated cammed milk, the
farmer received 35% of the retail
price in 1922, which dropped to
28% during the depression, rose to
55% to 61% during World War II,
plus a few cents extra supports, and
then dropped ever since. In 1960
the farmer got 6.3 cents out of a
retail price of 15.7 cents or 40%,
middleman’s share 9.4 cents or
60%.
Now after several columns setting
the ground work, we are next time
going to tackle the hard problem,
“Why does the farmer receive so
little, and the middleman so
much ?”
Mrs. Sheldon Mosier, mother
of Dale Mosier, one of the for-
eign exchange students now
touring Europe after finishing
a year’s schooling in the
Netherlands, shares with Dal-
las Post readers some, of: his
letters:
I stayed with John ‘Parry’s
Rotary family in Amsterdam until
early Tuesday morning. Their boy
is at the present time in Strouds-
burg with the Rotary program. I
gaw my first game of Cricket while!
here. It is a real English gentle-
man’s game, starting at 11:00 A.M,
stopping for lunch and tea before
finishing at 6:00 P.M. and beginning
again the next day if it isn't
emded. The Dutch have a lot of
sports from many countries, even
American baseball.
We left Amsterdam at 7:30 A.M.
and went to Bonn where we stayed
with’ the Prittwitzes for one day.
We had not planned om staying
there, but we stopped in Bonn with
the intention of maybe seeing
President Kennedy but he had al-
ready left. I called up Mrs. Pritt-
witz to say hello and she insisted
that we come over for lunch. (You
remember I spent Christmas vaca-
tion with this family.) We stayed
there that night and then left for
St. Goarshauren the next day.
It is a beautiful village that lies
in a narrow valley between moun-
tains and the broad Rhine River.
‘We visited one of the famous Rhine
castles, ‘Rhinfels”. It was really
exciting to’ go through it. It was
wonderful the way the castle was
carved out of stone in the side cliff
overlooking the village. It took us
about 17, hours to go through the
place and we still didn’t see it all.
It was a real castle and hadn’t been
restored in any modern manner.
There were many secret ways, but.
as we had no light with us.
The boat trip on the Rhine was
fantastic. The Rhine is very broad
and flows through the mountains
with many castles on the tops and
then the sides are covered with
vineyards. The whole scene gives
ome a very unique and wonderful
effect. I have never seen such a
scene before.
We got off the boat at Mainz,
took the train to the Youth Hostel
and dragged our bags up a steep
hill to get there, only to find that
there: was no room. We carried our
suitcases down again and took the
streetcar amd bus to Wiesbaden,
finding accomodations in the Youth
Hostel. We were tired by this time
so we went right to bed at 10: P.M.
We got up at 7:30 the next morn-
ing and ate our breakfast. Wow!
what a breakfast — 2 rolls; a piece
of bread and a large cup of coffee-
like liquid. The overnight stay and
breakfast cost 65c.
The mext day we took the train
to Heidelberg. It was a beautiful
city with an ideal location along a
river at the ‘foot of a sharply
ascending mountain. On ‘the top of
the mountain overlooking the! city
was a beautiful castle. It is sup-
posed to be one of the most beauti-
ful im Germany and I believe it.
we had to stumble our way through |.
‘We didn’t begin’ to get around the | |b
Dale Mosier And John Parry Visit
Historic Castles Along The Rhine
we spent there. It was more like
a palace than a fortress like the
one we saw on the Rhine. We saw
a large wine cask which held about
50,000 gallons. It was so large that
there was a small dance floor on
top of it, We ate in a cheap
restaurant and had a real good
meal for 75¢c. We got a nice room
at the hotel for $1.60.
That night we went to the Hof-
Brau house. The atmosphere: is
great. They have a band for sing-
ing and dancing sometimes, but
usually they play the German
drinking songs or conversation
music. There is nothing like this in
the states. We met a lot of Amer-
icans there. No wonder they call
Heidelberg “Little America”. It
was fumny going around talking to
everyone. This is the first time
we had seen so many Americans
and we made a lot of friends.
The next day we went to Frei-
burg in the Black Forest where we
joined a friend of mine who studies
there at the University. He showed:
us the town and then introduced us
to some friends with whom we
went out for the evening and got
1 back at 10 just as the Youth Hostel
attendant was ‘closing the doors.
The mext day we went hiking 10-12
miles, maybe more in the Black
Forest. It is a maze of mountains
and valleys with real woods but
very clean and well kept. After
that we left for Munich.

just how many feet above sea level.
you: were presently ?
I bet you've trod on: the amswer
a hundred times without noticing it.
Imbedded in the vestibule floor
of the bank is a Coast Guard bench-
mark which says 1127.531 feet.
Other questions that immediately
pop up: How many feet below sky-
level am I presently? And why?
I poimted the mark out recently
to the mayor, who happened along,
and he hadn’t noticed it before
either.
Do not get a false impression.
Although the marker is 1127.531
above sea-level, the chances are
your perception of the object takes
arrest at around 1133 feet, if you
are of average height.
Also, you do not necessarily live
at that many feet above sea-level
if you don’t live in the bank, which
I think is probably the’ case.
The mayor remarked . that he
lives at a higher elevation, being on
Pioneer Avenue.
to that. /
The 64 dollar question is: where!s
the lowest point in Dallas? To find
out, I'm going to pour a bucket of
water in front of the bank in the
mear future; to see which way it
runs. Where it stops we'll put an-
other marker.
BACK PITTSTON
I never took a hankering to base-
ball until Little League captured
my fancy, namely last year with
Back Mountain’s terrific season.
Before that I was convinced (al-
though a onetime letterman in
several sports — don’t laugh) that
baseball was a tired game.
This year both Back Mountain
and Bob Horlacher All-Stars lost
out in the sectional eliminations,
but that’s no reason for us to stop
cheering. Our neighbors are still
in the running today.
I remember last year at Wil-
liamsport, among all the Back
Mountain boosters’ signs, one which
stayed with me as a nice tribute
from a bunch of zany good-sports:
“Pittston Boozers
Mountain All-Stars.”
Wherever you are, boys, and no
matter how the kids make out at
the State finals at Latrobe today
and henceforth, we only wish Lin-
coln’s immortal sentiment prevails,
and the War Department sends you
a case of the same and —uh, soda
for your little friends.

Who ever could have guessed that it would one day be a col-
lector’s item? mg :
The antique cars trundle along the highway, pausing now and
again: to let the perspring driver pour a bucket ‘of water into a
steaming radiator, holding up traffic and engendering a nostalgic
gleam in the eye of anybody who drove a car beforel the 1920s.
I keep wondering what happened to the 1902 Cadillac that
Papa used to drive on his professional rounds in Baltimore before
he abandoned the pursuit of status for the pursuit of efficiency, and
switched back to horses, which could be depended upon not to get
flat tires or shed the drive chain.
Two horses, one for morning, one for afternoon, hitched to the
sober: black buggy with its leather storm curtain for rainy days and
its hot brick for winter; covered the area much more effectively than
one of those new-fangled contraptions which everybody agreed would
never replace the horse.
And the buggy was a much more comfortable mode of locomo-
tion in bad weather. Those first cars seldom hoasted such frills
as tops.
The one-lung engine was under the seat, with driver and pas-
senger frying in hot weather. The radiator looked like a waffle
smacked’ flat to, a’ dashboard, and gear shift levers, brake, and bulb
horn were on the outside, handy to the driver, who sat at the right.
No doors. You just hung on and hoped for the best.
And of course no windshield, 'and in those first cars no lights, .
though later models sported an acetylene tank and twin brass head-
lights, which had a way of flickering out and leaving/the motorist
in his duster and goggles to grope his way home in the dark at ten
miles an hour.
Access to the rear seat was by a little door and a steep step. Once
aboard. two. passengers could enjoy the luxury of corner seats up-
holstered ‘in black leather. If a third passenger must be accommo=
dated, a beard could be slipped across between the two corner seats.
There was always the delightful uncertainty about the condition of
the door latch. Would it hold, or would the third man go catapult-
ing off into space? The thirdman got a good grip on the shiny! y
brass rails surrounding the tonneau, and prayed as he jounced.
It attracted a lot of attention, advertising itself liberally as it dé
came chug-chugging up the street. When it stopped before a pa-
tient’s home, and the doctor disappeared within, carrying his little
black bag, urchins swarmed over it, leaving eager fingerprints on
the brass rails; tooting the horn, and yelling “Get a horse,” when
dislodged.
They. always retired to a respectful distance when Papa swung
the crank and the motor sprung into life.
Who knew ?
They wanted to be around if it happened, but they maintained
a safe distance.
It might blow up.
That 1902 Cadillac would probably bring a pretty penny these
days, much -more than it set Papa back when only slightly second-
hand.
