This is the second time that Hix has seen a flag flying at half-
staff following assassination of a President of the United States.
The first was in 1901, when President William McKinley was
killed while shaking hands with a spectator at the World's Fair in
Buffalo.
In those days there was no radio, no television. Telegraphed
reports brought forth a spate of
people in rural districts did not hear the news for days.
were in their infancy, confined in the main to cities.
“Extras” on city streets. Many
Telephones
Distances were
too great for stringing of telephone wires in the less populated areas.
People got their news when they drove to town for groceries or to
pick up the mail once a week.
For many, the news of the assasination of President McKinley
was received at the same time as the news of his death eight days
later.
The news of the kidnapping of the Lindbergh bein came over
the radio, over thirty years ago.
The country waited hopefully.
Surely the baby would be returned unharmed.
Whistles blew, the country stopped in its tracks, when the hor-
rifying news was broadcast that little Charles Augustus Lingbergh
had been found dead in a wooded area not far from the home in
Ne
Jersey from which he had been kidnapped. Dead since the
moment after he had been lifted from his crib.
Radio and newspapers carried the details.
The incredible news of Pearl Harbor, December 2, 1941, stunned
the country. People who were tuned in on their favorite Sunday
programs heard the radio stuttering the announcement.
It must be a giant hoax. Grasping at straws, people remembered
that radio listeners had left New York in panic just a short time ago
when a broadcast of a purely fictional landing of Men from Mars, had
carried with it the ring of incredible truth.
They would not be so easily caught again. It must be a publicity
sunt.
Not until days later did they learn the true extent of the dis-
aster which touched off the participation of the United States in
World War II.
Television with its world-wide network was still far in the future.
Who could guess that even as world-shaking events occurred, the
news would be flashed on a screen to every household in the land?
That weary news commentators would remain at their posts all
night on Black Friday, November
22, 1963, relaying information to
a grief-stricken country, spreading the news of the assassination of
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy at the height of his youthful
strength ?
The funeral train of President Abraham Lincoln was immortal-
ized in pictures, as it crept through the country-side, met by sorrow-
ing groups of people, huddled in the rain alongside the tracks in the
middle of the night.
The sad ceremonies following the death of President Kennedy
are recorded on film, a heritage for posterity.
A monument to a fanatic, a lone wolf, eaten by hate, living only
for the opportunity to kill.
A fanatic who appeared over television, imperturbable, a chosen
instrument of destruction.

REQUIEM FOR A
PRESIDENT
November winds blow bleak
and cold
In Arlington.
A somber sky looks down—
Then comes a muffled cadence,
Rolling drums, slow marching
feet,
Wind-borne from the town.
The solemn words are spoken,
Then—a bugle keens
Its thin, far motes of sad
release,
And in the pulsing silence,
Where little winds moan soft
lament,
A martyred hero 1e8tSemm
At last in peace!
America, America,
Rise to your destiny!
Pick up the torch of Freedom
Tossed from his falling hands,
“Be yours to hold it high.”
And here with high resolve
declare ;
Its light shall mever die!

THE DALLAS POST, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1963
Rambling Around
By The Oldtimer — D. A. Waters
The Farrar forces during the re-
cent campaign, in one way or an-
other, put out a lot of figures and
financial conclusions. Some stated
as ‘‘this year” were in fact taken
from Pennsylvania Economy League
figures for 1960—61. That year lo-
cally was a year of transition. We
moved into the New building during
that term, not at the start. Right
away, prior figures for heat, water,
light and power, janitor service,
ect., were exceeded. Expense per
pupil in 1960-61 is of mo use now,
as it jumped $45 or $50 the very
next year.
Dr. Jordan defends the $14, 000
pay for Dr. Mellman on the ground
that he also serves as business man-
ager. This is about the poorest
thing he could have thought of.
Only about six years ago, an admin-
istrator in the southeastern part
of the state got away with a couple
of hundred thousand dollars of
‘school money, because the financial
affairs were handled in his office.
No corporation spending $1,200,000
a year would try to operate with-
out a purchasing agent and busi-
ness manager, or both: They might
give him another name such as
comptroller or general auditor, or
financial vice-president or some-
thing, .but the job or jobs would
be there and the work performed,
independent of ole man dictation.
This casts no reflection or ques-
tion about the integrity of Dr. Mell-
man. Tt is a business proposition.
The work must be done here, and
I can testify from fifteen years ex-
perience in a very small district
that there ¥& a lot of such work,
it office. work. Now we
to do office work, and if we did,
his administrative and supervisory
duties would be neglected. What is
happening is that we are giving
the work to clerks, ‘teachers, etc.
having nop respongibility, and taking
them from their regular duties. Dr.
Mellman included in the current
budget an item of $2,650 for ‘“nec-
essary part-time service of a qual-
ified school business assistant.”
What we need is a full-time man,
qualified and responsible.
Obviously more pupils will in-
crease expenses. The acceptable fi-
nancial standard for comparing one
year with another, or one school
with others, is the total cost per
pupil. But to be fair, and mean
anything, ‘this must be accurately
computed from final exact figures.
Guess work, calculated or otherwise,
means nothing. In a booklet pub-
lished by the administration in May
1963, there appears in capital let-
ters, “THE AVERAGE PER PUPIL
EXPENDITURE IN THE UNITED
STATES, FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR,
IS $547.” This is under a notation
regarding the Pennsylvania Econo-
my League, but the Economy Lea-
gue completely disavows this figure.
They say they have never issued
‘dependable,
this, or any other figure, under
this category.
Certainly no one can compute an
average per pupil expenditure for
the current year, until all final fig-
ures are in. And to do it properly
for the entire U. S. would take a
lot more people than we have in
our schools.
The most repeated argument,
widely believed by young married
people, is that all this addition to
schools, year after year, is neces-
sery in order that their children
may enter college. This is without
foundation. Students from all the
small schools, before we had re-
Better Leighton Never

MY TWO CENTS
About the only thing I can add
to the volumes written and spoken
in praise of the late President Ken-
nedy is this: Before a young Sena-
tor from Massachusetts captured a
majority vote of the people of the
USA on gheer personal appeal, the
man in Washington most feared
and respected was a big, tough,
cagey political critter from Texas
who knew how to run more good
railroads than Grand Central Sta-
tion,
All of a sudden, there was the
Harvard boy and the economic ad-
visors and TV and the bureaucracy

ice as a flag-pole sitting trophy.
organization, entered college, even |The same with ‘the most powerful
prestige colleges.
went from Dallas Borough to Har-
vard.
If a young mother wants her son
to attend college, she should not
be running around pressuring the
school board to spend more money.
The school does not go to college,
it is ‘the student. She should be
sure he takes adequate courses of
the right kind for his prospective
field, and see to it that he does
his homework, year after year, to
stand well in his class. Failing stu-
dents, almost always, blame their
schools instead of themselves.
The total school time per week is
limited. Certain basic subjects are
required of all students, The state
makes strict standards of time re-
quired in various subjects. No stu-
dent, however bright, is permitted
to dip around a few minutes of
this and a few minutes of that.
Having a dozen different , subjects
taught simultaneously benefits no
single individual. He can take only
one at a ‘time. And some subjects
are required to be taken in se-
quence for purpose of order, also
of quality. A single year in each of
six languages is not as acceptable
as two years or more in the same
language.
It is likened to dining out in a
restaurant. The diner has available
a dozen dinners, but his capacity
limits him to one. A smaller place
may offer only three or four, but he
usually can find one that will do.
Now of course, a really big place
may have beautifully decorated
surroundings with better looking
waitresses in nicer uniforms, flow-
ers on the table, big dinner napkins
instead of small or even paper ones,
mugic, or even a floor show. These
are pleasant, but the diner can get
a good meal without them.
"Of our high spending, how much
goes to put flowers on the’ table?
In spite of the fact that the propa-
ganda figures were so obviously un-
it is reasonably pogss-
ible that accurate figures would not
compare too unfavorably with those
for other schools. Free spending is
common, and dollars are worth only
thirty to forty cents today, com-
pared to pre-New Deal values.
Nancy Drapiewski Is
Honored At Penn State
Nancy H. Drapiewski, Sweet Val-
ley was among the students honored
at the 11th Annual Awards Banquet
sponsored by the Student-Faculty
Board of the College of Home Eco-

Nancy ranks second in her class
at the beginning of her senior year
with a cumulative of 3.74 out of a
possible 4.0.
She was recently initiated into
Omicron Nu, an honor sorority,
which has as its members high-

son State Hospital on Sunday.
Friends may call tonight at the
Bronson Funeral Home.
Mr. Ostrum, 36, had been a pa-
tient at Cresson for ten months,
submitting to surgery. For many
years he had made his home with
an aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs.
Reuben Gabel, at Chase. As a boy

For Mrs. Bmna Hoover
Mrs. C. Anna Hoover, 87, for the
past four years a guest at Carpenter
Nursing Home, died Sunday morn-
ing.’ She will be buried Wednes-
day afternoon at Maple Grove, fol-
lowing services conducted by Rev.
William Hughes and Rev. B. Kirby
Jones from the Bronson Funeral
Home. Friends may call this eve-
ning.
Mrs. Hoover, a mative of Moore-
town, daughter of the late Alonzo
and Martha Post Davenport, lived
in Duryea for a number of years
after her marriage. She and her
husband Harry, who died in 1945,
moved back to this area in 1926,
when they settled in iSweet Valley.
When Mrs. Hoover could no longer
manage her own household and re-
tired to a nursing home, her
daughter, Mary and her husband
Ralph Naugle, took over the family
home, remodelling it somewhat.
In addition to her daughter,
nieces and nephews survive.
Only seven girls were invited to
join Omicron Nu in the fall of 1963.
Nancy is a graduate of the Lake-
Lehman High School. She was val-
edictorian of her class and was the
Senior Girl of the Year of Luzerne
County. During the past summer,
she was a boating counselor at the

Robert Fleming | politician in Washington — Lyndon
Johnson.
Few Senators could handle the
scene like Johnson, and the coun-
try is lucky to still have him.
IT WAS STILL PINK
Our traffic light in the Borough
has what is probably the shortest
yellow ever devised by man, allow-
ing the driver the slender choice
of either slamming on his brakes
and cursing loudly (my way), or
silently slipping through and tell-
ing Ray Titus or Charley Lamoreaux
that it was still pink when you
started.
The short yellow wasn’t planned
that way, I don’t believe, since I
have seen the police on traffic duty
time and time again exhibit judgt-
ment and leniency. Several times
I've tried to make it on the yellow
and missed, flashing a painful grin
at the officer around the corner,
who seems to understand.
The thing is, that a longer yel-
low would take some of the guess-
work out of it for both the driver |-
and the police.
While we in Dallas have learned
to live with our zany traffic light,
I have heard commuters from the
Lake and Lehman pass severe
judgement on it.
THE MILL IN COLOR
It was in the nick of time last
week that I remembered the old
Carverton Mill was being torn down
for ‘the state park project, and hust-
led ‘down to get a picture. Some
people said: It's a pity it wasn’t
in color.
Which is true, except that we
can’t print in color. But, consult

or pix of it in two sizes.

Some of the ‘confusion may: come
beacause, as Senator Flack observed
to us just recently: “It’s a political
thing”. Which means simply that it
was tough to get your story straight
because one side was Spiamistic, the
other pessimistic. v

final vote yesterday, and another
Senator said it would be weeks,
