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-

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

Editorially Speaking:
The late Howard Risley felt deeply about preserva-
tion of the natural beauty of this area. 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. :

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1963
Rambling Around
By The Oldtimer — D. A. 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.

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.

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

CONSTANT VIGIL
It was one of those groovy week-
ends, when nothing is expected and
everything happens at once out of
the clear midnight sky.
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.

shotgun I rendered my shoulder

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-

ty percent or better.
