MALLIN Editorially Speaking No Higher Calling Every day is Mother’s Day. ; "Mothers all over the world go quietly about their business of making a house into a home. They are con- tent, for the most part, to remain behind the scenes, smoothing the way for the more aggressive members of the family. They take little credit to themselves. Many of them do not realize that there is no higher calling. To many people, being a mother classifies as ‘no occupation.” A true home-maker combines the wisdom of the ages with the realization that times do change; that ad- justments must be made; that children are leaping eagerly into the future of the space age, and that time rushes by on such winged feet that nobody can keep up with it. Mothers are apt to feel a little dizzy at times, but they would do well to remember that the eternal verities do not change, no matter how swift the pace. That honor, and decency, and integrity, are still pearls of great price. That love is vital for without it, a child can never realize his full potential. And that instilling fundamental principles into their children is the most important thing that ‘mothers can accomplish. The Unhappy Beagle Political capital is going to be made of President Johnson’s picking that unfortunate beagle up by the ears ‘to hear him yelp.” And it is also going to be made of driving on the wrong side of the road at excessive speed. Not to mention that can of beer. What it amounts to, in an election year, you can’t afford to be natural, if you don’t want to explain to the hecklers. : Everybody has at some time driven on the wrong side of the road. The traffic cop issues a warning if he's around, but it is nothing that gets into the newspapers. A large segment of the population bends an elbow upon occasion, but this does not set off a national crisis. Many people honestly believe that the proper way of lifting a rabbit is by the ears. The SPCA entertains a different view. They say, lift it by its midriff. Hoisting a beagle by its ears is guaranteed to make him yelp. It is also guaranteed to make the country yelp, if the hoister is high in the councils of the mighty and intend- ing to run for office. Elections are won or lost upon such issues as a polka- dot necktie, a brown derby worn at a cocky angle, a large black cigar, or an outraged beagle. Its A Powerful Drug Tt has been said time and time again, but one more time does no damage, and it may save some child’s life: KEEP THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE AWAY FROM THE CHILDREN. Most of us think of aspirin as completely harmless. It is a valuable drug, but it is a DRUG. And in large doses, it can be fatal to a child. Children will swallow anything. And with all due respect to the drug companies which have endeavored to make life pleasanter for the children by flavoring aspirin so that it tastes like candy, they have done something which can be lethal. It’s perfectly OK for a drug to taste like medicine, and far safer. Lock up all the drugs. Don’t leave the aspirin around for children to sample, any more than you would leave the can of lye or bottle of disinfectant. Children like to play doctor. They will pump pills into a younger brother or sister. : Nip this in the bud by seeing that there are no pills easily available, wanted criminal, las, died. Only Yesterday Ten, Twenty and Thirty Years Ago In The Dallas Post T10-Years Ago Chief Blackbird, of the Chippewa Indidans of Northern Wisconsin, spoke to students of Dallas high school. Arrayed in a white moose- hide chieftain’s robe and wearing a ceremonial headdress of feathers, Chief Blackbird told legends of his people and sang Indian songs to the accompaniment of a tom-tom.

READ THE TRADING POST THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1964 I EN EN NE NN NN NNN NN RA RN RRR RII Rambling Around By The Oldtimer In buying a business or a house, Or even a new car or major ap- pliance, or any other contract, most of us read the fine print and foot- notes, check the. computation of figures, etc. But in considering pub- lic business there is a tendency to have confidence in an elected of- ficial or anyone appointed to public responsibility if he belongs to the “right” political party or faction and is endorsed by our favorite people, labor unions, etc. regard- less of what he says or does. We are now in school budget time and we will be flooded with figures. There is a favorite practice of holding down criticism of high expenses at home by trying to show that they are even higher else- where. A common basis of compari- son ig average annual cost per pupil. But this is affected by many things. You could take a dozen sets of correct figures regarding oné school; make accurate computations, and come out with a dozen correct answers, but not one of them would give a fair comparison with an ad- joining school unless every element of the computation was based ex- actly on the same conditions. [Some places have divided ele- mentary and high schools in differ- ent administrations and even in different districts. Some states have public colleges. There is a wide difference regarding night schools, summer schools, etc. Some figures include such things as state bureau and official expenses. And what is a pupil? Does a housewife who goes out for an hour of driving instruction about ten times count as much as her boy who rides in a publicly paid bus, is issued a lot of books and supplies, given the services of half a dozen teachers and the use of a two million dollar facility, and rides home at public expens over a hun- dred and eighty days a year? Do you count a pupil who has moved away? And what happens to your figures when you have an epidemic dropping attendance 20 per cent? Official and professional sources have come up with two standards: first, average daily attendance; and secondly, average daily member- ship, which is most dependable as the expense incurred whether full attendance is maintained or not. And for fair comparison only reg- ular elementary and secondary day schools are to be counted as basic figures. Special expenses should be reported separately. There can also be wide variation in what expenses are included. Since — D. A. Waters widely from year to year and from place to place, for big comparisons it is better to leave them out in short term checking. - The question of time is important. Every year expenses go up, due to increased costs and built-in auto- matic increases. Old figures are use- ful for comparison but not valid as close standards to stick to. Fu- ture periods and the current year are only estimates, however care- fully they may be prepared. Past periods should be actual. School expenses, like other things such as the cost of living, vary widely in different sections of the country and in different conditions. Since they have better staffs em- ployed and keep better records, bigger districts are usually reported in early figures. In a study for 1959-60 covering 332 districts with over 12,000 en- rollment, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare showed an average annual expense per pupil of $333 compiled on average daily attendance and $313 on average daily membership. Eight of these big districts were in Pennsylvania. The expenses were for the highest, Read- ing, $438 computed on ADA and $419 on ADM, running in decreas- ing amounts for Alentown, Erie, Philadelphia, Bethlehem, Harris- burg, Pittsburg, to Scranton, the lowest, $359 computed on ADA. and $335 on ADM. In a survey for 1960-61, The Na- tional Education Association com- piled a report covering 480 districts maintaining elementary and second- ary schools, all having over 30,000 population. The lowest expense per pupil was $172 for one district in Alabama. The highest (was one New York District $948. Twelve districts had less than $200 and eleven had over $600, each being about 3 per cent of the total. About 65 per cent were in the range $300 to $499. The highest expenditures were in: the bigger cities. The same source for the same year showed an aver- age expense per pupil for 37,475 basic administrative. units of $369 computed ADM and $393 on ADA. Those figures were estimates only. For 1961-62 the same source showed units dropped to 35,330 and estimated average expense per pupil increased to $388 on ADM and $414 on ADA. For 1962-63, the same source showed estimated current expendi- tures for public elementary and high schools only, excluding debt service and capital outlay, for 50 states averaged $433’ computed on ADA and $404 on ADM. Pennsyl- capita: outlay and debt service vary vania $485 and $458, respectively. Better Leig Ruralvania Indeed Rooting back through old Dallas Posts, specifically in the 1940 edi- tion, I came across ,what may have been our most notable lapse of edi- torial judgment. The Post adver- tised that a number of people had expressed . disatisfaction with the name ‘‘Back Mountain,” as it im- plied this area was a hillbilly hav- en, not at all conversant with the high degree of civilization in Wilkes- Barre. Therefore, the Post sponsored a contest, no prizes, for 3 new name, and these are what the people came up with: Ruralvania, Bedford Hills, Dall- area, ‘Sylvan Mills, King-Dal-Lake Mount (wow), Mountainboro, New- er Dallas Region, Dallwood Heights, Suburban Heights, Suburban Hills, Mountain Parkway, Blue Ridge Re- gion, DalXKing Suburbs, Dallmont, and Highland Manor. Now, about these names. First of all, does anybody like them? How would you like to live in Su- burban Hills or Heights? Sounds like: some place in New Jersey. King-Dal-Lake Mount is too much. Newer Dallas Region and Dal-King Suburbs sound like a zoning map. Dallarea has me guessing as to pronunciation, but seems wrong, somehow, for any reason you like. .How did the contest turn out? By the fifth week, Suburban Hills led all contenders by a thin mar- gin. By the sixth, Ruralvania (Oh, woe.) nosed into first. But even after the first week, it was becom- ing apparent to the editors that Back Mountain wasn’t as repugnant to people as first appeared, and it was holding its own against all the upstarts, much to everybody's embarrassment. Votes continued to trickle in for the others; but those who liked the old name, of course, probably didn't even bother to write in, but simply cornered the editor on Main Street when they got a chance: The editor got sick of the whole thing, people lost interest, Back Mountain prevailed. Praises be. The Midnight Dog Clarence the midnight dog ac- cepted last week’s story with only passing interest. He indicated to me that it was all he could do to put up with the sloppy weather re- cently, which tended to take the appeal out of his evening walks. So he spent almost all of last week with the cats, asleep on the back porch, stepping out only for lunch.. One consequence is that his coat has stayed nice and clean, which disturbs his sleep a little, but makes him ga more welcome guest. “If the weather keeps up much more like this,” he heard one wom- an say, “we'll all get webbed feet.” Our doggy friend headed right hton Never sun broke through, and has been at large since then, coming in only on the offer of a piece of candy. Business picks up with nice weather, and if there's anything that gets [Clarence down it's busi- ness. SEEN AND HEARD The wrecking company that's taking up the railroad tracks for scrap has one big problem: they can't get a railroad car to ship the scrap out of Wilkes-Barre. Tried to mail an envelope “Do Not Bend” from the postoffice this weekend, but learned that, in order to write ‘Do Not Bend” on it, I am required to put. enough rigid material in so that the enve- lope cannot be bent. So why should I write “Do Not Bend” on it? Pennsylvania Gas began work to lay in pipes along E. Center Hill Road this week.

Joseph Dies At General Dallas Man Active In Many Projects Losing a valiant fight against overpowering odds, David J. Joseph, 80 Norton Avenue, Dallas, one of the Back Mountain's most civic minded citizens, died Saturday afternoon at General Hospital fol- lowing a short illness. Becoming ill suddenly on April 18, Mr. Joseph was admitted to the hospital three days later, where his condition continued critical un- til he succumbed. : : A man who strongly believed in helping the less fortunate, whose independent mien covered a heart- ful of compassion, of keen insight, and sparkling humor. Mr. Jo- seph’s presence was welcome every- where. His devotion and pride of family was evidenced also in his role as an executive of Glen Alden ‘Coal Company, where as general super- intendent, he guided his men with a thought always of their safety. Born in Wilkes-Barre, he was the son of the late John D. Joseph, a former superintendent of Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company, and Mrs. (Gwen Joseph, Shavertown. As a lad growing up he spent his weekends and summers learning the breaker business first hand, and upon graduation from Coughlin High School, gained full time em- ployment in the underground work- ings. Advancement was rapid due to his executive ability. He married the former Ann Tay- lor, Lee Park, with whom he" cele- brated his 42nd wedding anniver- sary on December 8, 1963. The couple has lived in the Back Moun- tain 30 years, the last twelve of which were spent in Dallas. ~ Mr. Joseph will be well remem- bered as a song leader much in de- mand, and organized and directed a number of minstrel shows to aid churches and service clubs in their fund-raising projects. He was a member of Huntsville’ Christian Church and its board of trustees, Lodge 655, F. & A. M.,, Keystone Consistory, Scranton, and Irem Temple.

Den 6, Cub Pack 281 Visits The Dallas Post They lined up at the counter of the Dallas Post, laboriously printed their names, and were ready for a personally conducted visit to the printing plant—ten Cub Scouts from Pack 281, with a fringe of small children belonging to den mother Kathy Barlow. Under convoy of Leighton Scott, they toured the plant from soup to nuts, getting a load of linotype machines, composing stones, the big press, the small press, the medium size press, and the cutter and fold- ing machines. ‘Do we get our names in the paper?” they wanted to know. Yes, you do: Richard Lawler, Bobby Daubert, Mark Barlow, John McAndrew, Roger Owens, Brad Ar- naud, Stephen Paul Summa, Michael Yenason, Matthew Barlow, John Barlow, Nora Barlow, and Mrs. James Barlow, DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA From— Pillar To Post... By Hix If the 1964 Worlds Fair in New York is anything like the 1939 World’s Fair twenty-five years ago, it would be a solid idea to wear old shoes, carry a raincoat, and leave the hard-boiled eggs and fish sandwiches at home. Hard-boiled eggs, pelt, have a way of soaking through the bottom of the paper sack, and it isn’t smart to eat tuna fish— with mayonnaise, after you've been carrying the sandwiches around for half a day. So, economy-minded or not, better leave the home-packed lunch behind, and rely on the hot-dog stands at the Fair. The kids will demand hot dogs anyhow. Their capacity is unlimited. Begin putting ‘shiny coins in the piggy-bank right now, and by the time you start for the fair, you'll have enough for the hot dogs. They say there’s so much entertainment for free that you don’t really need to spend very much on entrance fees, once inside the gate: ‘ Offhand, the most painless way of attending the Fair would seem to be to go by bus, with a group of friends who all want to see about the same thing. This eliminates the car-parking problem, and insures passing into a pleasant coma on the way home, with a professional doing the driving, and no necessity ‘to prop the eyes open after a day of sight-seeing. The way it worked out twenty-five years ago, the ill-advised experiment in an economy lunch, complete with hard-boiled eggs and soupy sandwiches, was jettisoned in a convenient trash can along about eleven o'clock, and from that time on, the hot dog stands did a thriving business. Grandma walked the legs off the kids. ‘When they collapsed on benches, panting with ‘exhaustion, Grandma was still raring to go. “What's the matter with them ?” she wanted to know. “They shouldnt wear out so quickly.” Grand- ma was approaching eighty at the time, and Grandma wanted to get her money’s worth. After all, whoknew when the next World's Fair would come along? Chances are it would be in some completely inaccessible spot, while New York was close at hand. Hauled to their feet, the kids stumbled along in Grandma’s wake. ; , One blonde visitor from the Pacific Coast, where summers are cool and a fireplace fire is necessary every night the year round, could not take the heat, and passed out while waiting entrance to the Futurama, draping herself across a convenient steadying arm: Grandma, next in line, was sympathetic, but she ‘wag not about to give up her hard-won place. The visitor, under convoy of an alert guard, was hustled off to the air-conditioned infirmary in the basement of the Futurama, and eventually viewed the exhibit from the moving armchairs . . . and in the next unit was Grandma, the line finally having delivered her to the entrance and provided her with a place to sit. She said afterwards that all those little cars on the cloverleat intersections of the Futurama were pretty cute, but that of course it would be impossible to build such huge roadways. It would take up all the space now devoted to farms. Farms, she had announced on one occasion, were probably necessary, but fields of corn grew monotonous. She enjoyed a drive through the country, it made her so thankful that she didn’t live there. And as for airplanes, she didn’t take much stick in airplanes: The vision of the future was interesting, but completely impractical. That was before the world was catapulted into Space Age. There’ve been some changes made, but one thing remaing just about the same. ; : That's the hot dog, a hardy perennial, Bet the hot-dog stands are doing a rousing business, and that by the end of the summer the hot ‘dogs consumed by the visiting public would, if laid end to end, encircle the globe in a wide band, f probably lapping over the poles and trailing off into outer space, headed for the moon. Prince Of Peace Antiques Show Is Its Usual Complete Success Prince of Peace Annual Antiques Show and Sale Tuesday and Wed- nesday drew a crowd which gather- ed before the official morning op- ening hour, and thinned out only toward the 10 p.m. closing. Dinner on both days wag served to a capacity seating, chicken on Tuesday, beef on Wednesday. The Flea Market and Flower Mart in the basement drew folks who like to do their own furniture re- finishing, and garden enthusiasts. More flowers were procured for Wednesday sales, as Tuesday after- noon crowds had just about bared the shelves. Heard upstairs in the parish hall: “Well, we DID have a marvelous cherry corner cupboard, but some- body came along and insisted on buying it just before the show. But we've got a couple nice ‘dry sinks, and this year we're specializing in framed prints of birds.” And there they were, a Silver Sleigh exhibit, birds and more birds, attractively framed. The Powder Horn was a new ex- hibitor. Space is severely limited in into the lobby, and even into the outdoors, where flowers were ar- ranged in a red wheelbarrow, and white iron garden furniture was shown. Glass and silver predominated, as is usual in a show where space is at a premium. Mrs. Joseph Schooley stopped on the way out to chat, shifting her potted plants from one arm to the other .Ollie Schallenberger was on hand, looking like a new man. Mrs. Edward Ratcliff subsided thankfully into a chair in the small area allot- ted to food, and tackled a piece of, cherry pie and a cup of coffee. “Home-made pie?” Of course, home-made. We always make the pies, every year. It's been a busy day. Glad to sit down.” It was perfect weather for the show, mild and sunny both days, the kind of weather that jolts a home gardener into action and leads to purchase of pansies and pink geraniums. Prince of Peace Antiques Show is always one of the highlights of the spring season. the parish hall. Exhibits spilled out 2 © ® RING LOST Dear Editor: i I'm appealing to parents and teen-agers of Lake-Lehman school. My son’s class ring was stolen while he was changing his clothes at gym. Parents, would you please ask your children if they know anyone who has it and ask to have it returned. It is a great loss to my son, as he only had it a few weeks and worked hard to get the money to pay for it. I'm asking you to listen to your conscience and let it be your guide. Please, parents, how would you feel if your child’s ring or some- thing else of sentimental value was stolen? Have a heart and return it. We are not rich people. Here's hoping that someone will read this and return the ring to Raymond ‘Scott. Parents, please help your child to understand what a great loss this is.

SUMMER OCCUPATION Dear Editor: It seems there is an urgent need in our community for a Youth Em- ployment Service for our young friends between the ages of 12 and 20. & A clearing house for available jobs during the summer months either full or part time such as baby sitting, pool cleaning, yard work, painting, car washing, etc, seems to be almost a must. Our youngsters desperately need to keep busy during the long days of summer. I have decided to try to organize job placement for Back Mountain young people by starting a Job Op- portunity Bureau (JOB). Individuals and businesses may register now for a very minimum fee. Let me emphasize that this is only a Job Opportunity Bureau and all aspects of the Job such as sal- ary, hours, etc., will be decided by the employer at the time of the interview. For further this service, write JOB, 324 Center Hill Road, Dallas or phone 674-7671 evenings only. 3 Elizabeth F. Davis ® =» ®t information about o
