SANDRA STRAZDUS \18D ° Oo - ° 2 o ~ Cua Editorially Speaking: Residents who have never needed an ambulance in a hurry, or have never smelled smoke in the middle of the night and seen the ominous flicker of flames, have no idea at all of the remarkable service they get from am- bulance crew and volunteer firemen. Men drop their work by day, roll out of bed at the | first warning of the fire-phone at'night, and de it gladly for your protection. : People new to the area are prone to think that this volunteer service is their right, and that their taxes cover it. They could not be more mistaken. Firemen and ambulance men work on a strictly vol- unteer basis. They are not paid a cent. Residents who are reluctant to put a quarter a week into their coin cards on the grounds that they probably will never need the service, are pushing their luck. But whether you subscribe or not, bearing your fair share of the expense or letting George do it, you will be protected. ; Nobody will check on you at midnight to see if you have made a contribution. The ambulance will be at your door with its white- jacketed crew, or the pumper will roll up and bring out its hoses without question. ‘Whether you have paid or not. : So be cheap if you want to be cheap. It is perfectly safe. Because these men are dedicated to their community. They believe in it enough to give their services to make it a safer place to live. Most residents feel the same way. Maybe they can’t fight fires or carry a stretcher, but they CAN fill a coin card.

Try The Post For Beautiful PRINTING Only Yesterday Ten, Twenty and Thirty Years Ago In The Dallas Post It Happened 30 Years Ago The State planted 1500 black bass and 2000 sunfish in local waters. Cards were stacked against the referendum on sale of beer, and ad- vocates hauled in their horns, to wait for a more auspicious moment. Lutheran Church at Harveys Lake celebrated its tenth anniversary by extensive improvements. Jack Honeywell took first and sec- ond at Towanda with his Holsteins. Luzerne County farmers were ask- ed to cut their wheat acreage, Dallas Borough had a hot primary fight on its hands, with both Dem- ocrates: and Republicans endorsing strong slates. Endorsed by the Fine organization, J. H. Anderson opposed G. Harold Wagner for Burgess. Not an ounce of mews, but the paper must have raked in the chips with all that political advertising. _ It Happened 20 Years Ago Harry Ohlman defeated William Baker for Dallas school director; Timothy LaBar defeated John Rob- erts; Joe MacVeigh got a vote of confidence and renomination for an- other full term as president of Coun- cil. Rumors that an emergency bom- ber runway was being laid out on the Joe Park farm were vigorously denied by State engineers. Survey was for a new highway connecting Hayfield road with Harveys Lake Highway. Newell Wood and Cal McHose were nominated for Lake school directors. Dallas Post urged soldiers to send in their questionnaire, with full in- formation for use by Red Cross, government agencies, civic organiz- ations, a great time-saver in case of disaster. ‘ Heard from in the Outpost: L.

Harry Trebilcox, left-handed pian- ist, got standing ovation at his re- cital at Wilkes, for overcoming his handicap and doing the impossible. Lady Risley Dies This has been a sad year in the Risley household. Sherm Schooley used to say, “Myra, some folks get it all in a heap, others get it spread out, but they all get it.” Last Wednesday, Lady, Howard's beloved boxer died of a heart at- tack. ‘Could it be a broken heart? How much we miss the patter of her footsteps as she follows us up the stairs, the comforting sound of her gentle breathing and occasional nightmares as she slept in the bed next to us, the gentle whine for her supper at 5 p.m. and her white paws stretched up to the sink when she was thirsty, the low but "dis- tinct growl when a stranger knock- ed at the door. She will be hard to replace and her memory will join those of other loved and lost pets but one does miss the companionship of a faith- ful friend. Myra Risley. THE DALLAS POST OFFSET DEPARTMENT Is One Of The Finest ‘In Pennsylvania Jeune; Harold Kittle, North Africa; | Crowds gathered at Avoca to see: THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1963 Rambling Around By The Oldtimer — D. A. Waters * Probably our area could learn: something from Warren (1960 pop. 14,505), county seat of Warren County (45,582). The town was founded by New Englanders in 1795, twenty-five years later than our own county seat. The county was estab- lished in 1800, fourteen years later than ours. Of the foreign born, Scan- dinavians predominate, one early Swedish town being called Scandia. | Both town and county are named for General Joseph Warren, born in Roxbury, Mass. June 11, 1741, killed at Bunker Hill June 17, 1775. In a little park shaded by venerable elms they have erected a statue of ; General Warren in his Revolutionary uniform. On one side of the base the Tidioute Chapter, D. A. R. has erect- ed a bronze tablet listing 66 Revolu- tionary veterans buried in the county, and on the other side a similar tablet listing 90 soldiers of the War of 1812 buried in Warren County. The County has about 1500 farm- ers producing products worth about five million dollars a year, and about 4000. employed in 55 manufacturing plants with g payroll of twelve mil- Lion and products of fifty million dollars a year. But they seem more proud of 22 churches representing 18 denominations, fraternal societies and veterans groups, Y.M.C. andY. W.C.A,, endowed homes for aged and for children, 10 parks, 6 play- grounds, athletic field, public library, hospital, police and fire departs- ments, and several clubs some for men, some for women, some for both. After a bend in New York State, the Allegheny traverses the country from the northeast to the southwest corner. The area is included in the Allegheny plateau, part of which is publicized as the Seneca Highlands from former Indian inhabitants. The Borough of Warren is on the edge of gateway and headquarters for the Allegheny National Forest establish- ed in the time of Calvin Collidge cov- ering mearly 1200 sq. miles. Most of the timber is second growth, now being carefully tended by the U. S. Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture. However there are stands of virgin white pine, hem- lock, and other trees estimated to be 400 years old. There are several state parks in the area also. The en- tire section is noted as a hunter's and fisherman's paradise, with plen- ty of picnic facilities. The Warren Chamber of Com- merce has mapped out, marked by signs, and issued a printed itinerary for, two scenic drives. One of 41 miles covers a circle in the Alleg- heny National Forest. The other covers a corner of the forest, then up the Allegheny, passing the 100 million dollar flood control dam be- ing built at Kinzua, into a corner of the Seneca Indian Reservation in New York State, crossing the river at Onoville, and returning via the Cornplanter Indian Reservation and Scandia, a distance of about 50 miles, Several Industrial firms and the Warren County Development Association have cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce and the Historical Society in preparing and distributing maps covering the town and county of Warren, scenc, his- toric, and other points of interest, particularly for sportsmen and va- cationists. Picnic facilities in the forest are very primitive, not nearly as elabor- ate as we have at Ricketts Glen, but ‘they have various places where flowing springs provide water such as we can never get in this vicinity. Some of the roads were freshly graveled, highly unpleasant in a dry and dusty period, but in the black- top areas the forest is pleasant in the extreme. The Kinzua Dam will flood the Allegheny valley clear up to Salam- anca, N.Y. a winter reservoir 35 miles long, summer 27 miles;maxi- mum acres winter or flood stage over 21,000, summer about 12,000. Not only the present valley plains will be covered, water will extend halfway up the mountain sides. Even over the New York State line we were told the depth would be over twenty feet above present street levels. Included under the flooded area will be the Cornplanter Indian Res- ervation last land owned by Indians in Pennsylvania, a monument to the white man’s unfairness ‘to some fairly good Indians. This will be cov- ered by a later column. Polio Shot (Continued from Page 1-A) Money, Mary Alice Whitesell, Joyce Gordon, Myra Davis. Vaccination cards, June Swanson, Margaret Wiede, Gwen James.

Better Leighton Never by Leighton Scott FLASHY TREE I know almost nothing about trees, and once I even flunked Botany, so I simply bring to your attention the stately old what-ever- it-is at the corners below Orange. A speckled wonder of early autumn, it sported a flashy red and green coat over the weekend, and evoked the comment from my uncle that it was the most beautiful tree he'd ever seen. Go lookat it before it gets brown. CHEATED I number among those who feel cheated by this past summer, par- ticularly because of the cruddy win- ter preceding. The short warm sea- son was one big factor in slowing business to and at Harveys Lake, and was little help to those just opening up. T asked Bill Purcell how badly the highway mess has hurt business along the line, and he said busi- nesses wouldn't know until fall, when the travel pace slackened, and traffic was normalized. (Incidentally, Bill says he wishes he had fifty cents for everybody who asked him what the A-frame structure across the road is.) LOCATING A POSTOFFICE If the streets of Dallas seemed full of dapper, dark-suited strangers Thursday and Friday, you were just |: seeing a lot of a ubiquitous four- some from the federal government office who were here to find possi- ble sites for the new postoffice. Us Main Streets stalwarts had a good time telling them about Dallas, and they were glad to hear it all, because plainly it was a prerequisite to any decisions they might make. I made sure they were well equip- ped with Dallas Posts, to help fill their log-book. By the way, we received a note at the Post last week, to the effect that we weer wrong in saying the railroad property was only 17,500 square feet and thus not enough to meet the 34,500 required by the government. ? We didn’t have space to publish the note, but it appeared in print elsewhere later. In any case, the fact is that we were not wrong. Borough engineer John Jeter and I measured it with a planimeter and a map before 1 wrote that story, and I consulted local realtors and government men, all of whom are well aware that the size of that property is not adequate by itself. The author of the letter included in his on the spot measurement a lot of Millie Devens LaBar’s ground, as he admits in the note, and I don’t know as you can exactly count that.

And how come the firemen don’t just hook onto the hydrant?” “Well, there’s always a fire-plug somewhere, isn’t there?” “That, baby, shows exactly how much you know about the country. There aren't ANY fire plugs. And if the pumper doesn’t get your fire out before it runs out of water, it’s just too bad.” She looked at the picture of the farm pond with new eyes. Strictly utilitarian as well as good looking, she decided. And you could still grow goldfish and waterlilies, if you liked goldfish and Zoning Law (Continued from Page 1-A) Huntsville corners is Bl.
