Pay a yard boy five dollars for raking the yard, and the wind changes during the night. Keep it up long enough, and the neigh- bor's leaves will add themselves to the humus hump. Bill Moss looked regretfully at the leaves the other day, the day he dropped around with a dozen brown eggs and started decant- ing apples from every pocket in his jacket. There was a time, said Bill, laying the last apple on the kitchen table, when he’d have been panting around with a wheelbarrow to swipe the leaves for his own humus hump, but these days he’s leav- ing the leaves lay.

FRA RA rf Hy = Folks seem to miss that 34 inch waistline, a waistline which made them very happy about their own measurements. The drawback to shucking off a considerable poundage practically over night is that none of your clothes fit. You take darts in a couple of skirts, and they still balloon out around the wingspread, though nipping the equator fairly snugly. ‘And if you take them in all the way down, you either can’t walk, or you run the risk of suddenly expanding again and having to do a lot of ripping. Either way, it’s a losing battle. Tighten all your suits, and you won’t have anything to wear, come Christmas. Tighten just a few, you can’t keep up with the cleaning. Investing in an entirely new wardrobe «way out of the difficulty. The classic shift sounds like a good idea, but you know what? It takes a figger to wear a shift. Also a figger to wear stretch pants . . . though you'd never know it when you take a comprehensive look around the super market. The only answer is that most houses can’t possibly have full length mirrors in them. Most of us, donning a shift, look just exactly like mealsacks tied in the middle, or worse still, not tied in the middle. Very few women can afford to wear either shifts or stretch pants, no matter how we kid ourselves. would be a delightful Se We just ain’t built thataway.

He would have been in there fighting for no outdoor advertising along the new stretch of highway under construction between Luzerne and Dallas. Since his untimely death at Christmas-time, the Dallas Post has carried the torch for him in several edi- torials designed to awaken public support of a program sweeping billboards from the gorge dropping steeply to the Wyoming Valley from the Back Mountain, Fron Howard would have approved the action taken by the “Garden Club of Wyoming Valley: Whereas: One object of this club shall be to promote interest in civic betterment, and Whereas: The Luzerne County Planning Commission has issued a Proposed Zoning Ordinance which defines outdoor advertisement ag an advertise- ment used outdoors, including painted walls or rock face of a product or service unrelated to the use of the land or structure on which it is located but not including official notices or directional road signs of a governmental body, and Whereas: The new section of the highway, currently known as the Luzerne-Dallas Highway, is not already robbed of its scenic beauty by billboard and other forms of outdoor advertising, Therefore: Be It Resolved That: ; The Garden Club of Wyoming Valley go on record as whole-heartedly approving the efforts of all governing officials and other interested groups and individuals to preserve the scenic beauty along that highway and to prevent future encroachment of both advertising and undesir- able forms of construction through strict enforce- ment of existing laws and ordinances or the sub- sequent adoption and enforcement of recom- mended zoning procedure. : | some of the nation’s top weight- lifters, at both sessions, afternoon More Back Mountain entries are and evening, beginning at 12:30.

Waters Intersectional rivals wearing the same colors clashed when Rice play- ed at Penn State on October 5. The home team came out in white pants and helmets, with white numerals on blue Jerseys. Rice appeared with with blue pants and helmets, having blue numbers on white Jerseys. Cheer leaders on both sides wore the same colors and carried accessories in various combinations. The sky was cloudless with a slight haze, the stands well filled with all kinds of colorful garments scattered around, and the surrounding mountains fur- nished a colorful background on all sides. The only unusual conspicuous | feature was a mushroom type million gallon water spheroid, shaped about like a big flat onion, painted a light blue, much higher than the stadium, off to the north. This is new. Quarterback Pete Liske, who last year passed for more yards and made more yards in total offense than anyone before at Penn State, could not keep up his showing the previous week when he completed nineteen ‘passes in one game, also a Penn State Record. Rice came prepared with a good pass defense and allow- ed only 8 completions for 106 yards. Rice’s top quarterback, Walter McReynolds, had about the same trouble, but then they put in a sec- ond stringer, Benny Hollingsworth, who threw the football all over the field. Between them they completed 18 out of 36 for 240 yards, but lost the ball three times on interceptions. But sometimes the passer lost a lot of yards so that for the whole game the Rice team gained only 30 yards on the ground, against 257 for Penn State. Penn State scored in the first few minutes and then bogged down. Rice tallied in the second quarter making the game even at half time, their only score. Penn State scored again in the third quarter and twice in the final period, A small section of rooters came all the way from Texas by bus to attend and support Rice. For the first time in the history of the University or college, Alumni, who had formerly played in the Blue Band, got together in the morn- ing for a single practice and marched on the field at half time playing several of the familiar tunes. Then the present Blue Band, sporting new uniforms, also came on making 216 musicans for ‘the Alma Mater. The Blue ‘Band presented a spectacle de- picting a county fair, playing ap- propriate tunes for the merry-go ‘round and other features. | Rice University, formerly called : Rice Institute, is a privately support- ied, coeducational University at | Houston, Texas. It is small in enroll- ment, total about 2200, but the graduate students exceed the fresh- , men in numbers. For half a century ! the place has been noted for highest quality of instruction and research. This year they established the first Department of Space Science in America. Some of the students are high-ranking personnel in the NASA. The Penn State team is called The Nittany Lions, the Rice team is called the Owls. They made excel- lent subjects for the annual displays prepared by the fraternities in Homecoming week. Some used ‘the grain, rice, others the bird, owl, one the White Owl Cigar, and two or three dug up Edward Lear's non- sense tale of “The Owl and the Pussy Cat”, the Penn State Lion, the mountain-lion type, resembling a cat. First prize went to a display showing ‘a recumbent Lion licking a cone filled with boiled Rice. Traditional also in Homecoming Week is the annual Horticulture Show, commonly called the ‘‘Hort” show, of which this was the fiftieth. It was held in the new Ice Skating Pavilion, with a big “50”, rotating about seventeen hundred white or cream colored chrysanthemums, forming the central display. The floor was laid out in walks, lined with grass and trees, with special displays devoted to plant breeding, growing, food processing, landscape architecture, ornamental plants, and fruit growing. Food is the fourth largest industry in Pennsylvania and 75 plants pro- cess over seventy-fivé million dollars worth every year. Fruit canned ac- counts for 29.4 million, frozen 6.2 million: Vegetables canned 35.6 mil- lion and frozen 8.0 million dollars. Being seasonable, the most com- mon flower displayed was the chrys- anthemum, although there was quite a wide selection. One mew one wag a pale green gladiolus. A spray sched- ule recommended 13 sprays for apple each year, and 14 varieties of apples now common in the "state were shown. Central Pennsylvania is beautiful at this time of year, but seemed to us to have less maples in color and more oaks of several kinds, than we have in ‘this area. Hair Fashions Shop Cpens In Dallas Shopping Center Burton Luster Hair Fashions, one of the most modern, artistically ap- pointed Beauty Salons in the area, was opened in the Dallas Shopping Center recently. Owned by Burton Luster, a former New York hairdresser, skilled in the latest styling techniques, the shop ‘will be manned by four ex- perienced operators, who are recog- nized to be superior in their par- ticular fields. Hand painted wall murals, effici- ent lighting and attractive colors make the atmosphere particularly inviting. The newest hair dryers, (eliminating use of nets), coffee served while the hair dries, stereo music, furnished by Stanton TV and Appliances, make for added re- laxation. Mr. Luster plans to give the pub- lic the benefit of special hair color- ing techniques and styling experi- ence at attractive prices. He is featuring a special low price on work done for high school and college students. The shop will be open Thursday and Friday evenings until 9. The public is invited to visit the shop and fill out a coupon for a drawing on a wig, scheduled for Nov. 18. The value of the wig is $150, and it will be given without charge to the holder of winning coupon. There are other free gifts awaiting visitors.

THE DALLAS POST OFFSET DEPARTMENT Is One Of The Finest In Pennsylvania in a pool in the center, made up of Only Yesterday Ten, Twenty and Thirty Years Ago In The Dallas Post It Happened 30 Years Ago Mrs. Harry Harding of Trucksville was in the news again, launching a movement not to recognize the Soviet Union. No Overtures to Russia. A fourteen-year old Edwards- ville kid set the car barn on fire, causing a serious blaze. In those days, papers were not so gentle in their treatment of youthful offend- ers, giving names and dates. Prob- ably the kid is now a solid citizen, so ‘the Dallas Post will NOT re- publish his name. Could be it would embarras his college-age children, though maybe he treasures it as a hallowed memory. Morgan A. Ceage, 70, former own- er of property flooded by the Cease- town Dam, died after a long illness. Burgess Anderson urged every- body to buy, in order to help start wheels moving toward renewed prosperity. Charles Dressel headed the King- ston Township Citizens Club. Eggs were 23 cents a dozen, pea- ches two large cans for two bits. Mrs. Mildred Sickler, 70, died in Noxen following a stroke. It Happened 20 Years Ago Nearly 400 chickens burned to death when fire broke out in Clar- ence Esser’s house. Monroe Township dedicated its honor roll, inscribing 66 names on the plaque. : : The Dallas Warning Post, open- ed shortly after Pearl Harbor, was closed, on a 24 hour basis, organ- ized on an intermittent basis. Horse owners were finding them- selves annoyed by kids in cars who deliberately set out to frighten the teams. Horse driven vehicles were being mused because of scarcity of gas and tires, due to the military needs. Great sport, frightening a horse ‘into running away. Again, the Dallas Post withholds the names. Ten horsemen, guests of John Blackman, completed a 115 mile jaunt over the mountains. Edward Hartman of Trucksville, riding “Drill” was the winner. The Navy wanted 50,000 Waves to join the service. Heard from the Outpost: Loren McCarty, Jacksonville; Joseph Pola- chek, Texas; W. E.

Beatrice Cornell, Lehman, was married to William Roberts, Wilkes- Barre. i It Happened i@ Years Ago Chuck Morrow caught a thirteen pound lake trout at Harvey's Lake, one of the largest ever weighed on the fish scales. (Ever hear abuot that angler who weighed his new- born son on the trout scales and his head when they balanced at 28 pounds?) Dallas Township floated a Bond Issue of $9,500 to finance lights and equipment.

With a lull scheduled between Fall Fair and Jackson Turkey din- ner, I was ready to sneak off to New York to buy some things when there arose such a clatter! Not content with rousing the Kingston township emergency un- its, the boy scouts, and Charles Sieber’s bloodhound, Mrs. Anderson got me up and attem too: Old Mr. Metzger was lost, somewhere in the night, which was getting colder and colder. Mrs. Anderson’s moth- er-hen concern far her community has surely helped keep half of Sha- vertown alive. Nowhere else, except in the back- yard conversation of her neighbors, will she ever be acknowledged as the energy behind such efforts ms the search for Mr. Metzger. (Next day, while sitting with Mrs. Metz- ger just after the old man was discovered and wheeled off in an ambulance, she ran next door to care for Mrs. Chamberlain who suf- fered am attack from the excite- ment.) \ So as the hour pushed midnight, and 1 was about to fold my tent, and silently doze off - - even then I was glad to get the phone call. Andy Roan winked as we waited on the windy mountain for the bloodhound: “I bet Mrs. Anderson called you out of bed, too.” People know. NIMROD’S) NOTES One of Carverton Rod and Gun Club's most recent inductees, I had a lot of fun at the “shoot” Sunday afternoon, when, with borrowed shotgun I rendered my shoulder purple by blasting away at about ninety clay pigeons. Against my record of perhaps a solid thirty-three percent hit (prob- ably lots worse), were such local greats as Dana Sickler, Harry Car- ey, Punk Murdoch and Skip Dan- iels. All were powdering about nine-’ ty percent or better. Carverton homeowners have been repaid for the homes which will be removed, and the land to be flooded, by the new state park, but that low-land hunting will be harder to replace: : Above Carverton Road incidental- ly, the Dana and the Metz homes are already relocating, to stay out of the water. the possibility of a kindergarten in the school system, spurred by par- ents who noted the success of Dal- las’ kindergartens.
