THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, JUNE. 18, 1964 Only Yesterday "Ten, Twenty and Thirty Years Ago In The Dallas Post 30 Years Ago The World's Fair in Chicago was off to a flying start. The Street of Villages was the eye-catcher, a tour of the world in a single day. Many additions and improvements had been made since 1933, with better | night illumination highlighting the exhibits. Closed for the winter, the Fair reopened with renewed enthu- siasm. Dallas M. E. Church was nearing its goal of $5,000. A wave of burglaries hit the area, with business establishments and cottages being entered. Killed by a truck as he crossed the road on Main Street, Dallas, John Dolski, 19, Tunkhannock RD. Dr. Sherman, Schooley was called and the body was taken to Brickel’s morgue. : Jap beetles wer on the march, with greater invasion expected. Par- asites were liberated to combat the plague.

Wyoming Seminary held its 89th commencement. 20 Years Ago Three two-= column pictures on the front page: Samuel Galetti, killed in action May 23, 1944, in the | Italian Theatre of War; Robert A. | Girvan, reported missing in action | May 14; and Peter Skopic, missing in action over Austria May 29. Sam Galletti, the Lehman boy who took part in some of the most vicious tank warfare of the whole combat in North Africa, lost his life in Italy. His last letter to the Dallas Post ended with: ‘Excuse the writing, I'm a little nervous. Some shells just landed fifteen yards from my tent.” Staff Sgt. Raymond F.

This area was then way out and quiet, com- pared to the settled parts of the Valley. Several families owned, and oth- ers rented summer homes here. Dr. Ernest Buckman owned the present Laidler place. Judge Rice built the present Warhola residence. The old Norton place, in which the Har- ris family has lived thirty or four- ty years, 6n Lehman Avenue, was the home of Daniel Fell. The entire row of houses on Terrace Street was built as summer homes, in- cluding those of Mayor Fred C. Kirkendall, Contractor W. C. Shep- hard, Architect Kipp, and two fam- ilies named Morgan, one of which had a shoe store in Wilkes-Barre. A little later Miss Edith Reynolds built the Northrup place on top of Huntsville Street hill. Several of the Baldwin Street area places were then summer homes. Some local families regularly rented their furnished homes, keep- ing a simple cottage nearby for themselves. Two of these were on Norton Avenue. the Alexander Pres- tons and James Hildebrants. The present Durrell Scott place was rented regularly to Rabbi Salzman. There were various others. A Gates family lived where Bert, Lewis is now, but I am not sure whether they owned or rented. I believe they owned it. The Raub Hotel, where the Acme Market and Atlantic Gas station are now, was a big place and did a lot of business, some guests living there for long periods. The High- land House, about where Dallas Junior High iSchool is now, also had a lot of guests in season. I lived nearby when it burned. They had a spring of “Mineral Water” which they featured. [Some neighborhood kids called it nasty stuff. Morgan Wilcox subdivided the old broom factory, formerly the Methodist Church, now Rosary Hall, for sum- mer residents. A lot of local people kept “summer boarders’. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Barker on Barker Lane, sometimes called Rice ‘Street in the house later occupied for decades by the Czuleger family and now by Oscar Culp, had so many that they had fireworks on July 4. Barker's regular job was delivery man for A. Ryman & Sons. Dallas ‘made a good headquar- ters for salesmen covering the sur= rounding villages by horse and bug- gy., rented here of Bart Mott on! Lake Street: or: Billy ‘Bulford, back of the L.V.R.R. station. They stayed at Raub’s Hotel, dnd ‘some of the same ones came periodically ' for years, so that they were on a first name basis with many local men: The poker games played in the hotel were notorious, when certain men came to town. The salesmen came on the 4 p.m. train, stayed one or several nights, and left on the train about 10:30 a.m., some- times taking back, besides plenty of orders, considerable poker win- nings. The Dallas Fair, late in Sept- ember, attracted a lot of transients, some of whom hung around after the Fair closed. A few became re- sponsible residents here, including Fred Riley, who married the for- mer Nora Bulford, then the widow of .[Porace Bealer, mother of Mrs. | Minnie Brown. Some of the people remaining after the fair were slip- pery characters, running up bills wherever they could and borrowing left and right. George Brace was on duty in Chet White's butcher shop, in the side of the present Barber Shop Building on Main Street, adjoining Bert's Drug Store, when one of these fellows came in and said, “George, I am trying to get enough money to go home and have nearly enough, I am just a quarter short. Can you let me have a quarter? Said George, “I am a good many quarters short.” Young Ideas sor FATHER'S DAY from Shelves of Clever Items — D. A. Waters George, who lived in the house now used by Forty Fort Dairy at Fernbrook intersection, was a little clever himself. White ran a meat business, starting out with live an- imals and even making up sausage, pudding, bologna, etc. The latter items weres made on the premises which had a distinct arome on cer- tain days of the week, when several days supply was prepared. A local fellow, not very bright, soon got on to which days and times the cooking was in progress. He would wander back, pick up a big fork, fish out a chunk of meat as big as a goose egg, and stand and eat it. If it happened not to be cooked or seasoned to his taste, he would throw it away, maybe in the corner, until George lost patience. One day he laid down the law in this manner, “We do not mind your having a bite of meat, but will not stand for throwing any away. If you take any at all, you must stay bit of it. No more throwing any in the corners.” The fellow agreed and picked out a particularly big chunk. Expecting the fellow in, George . had purposely left out all . the salt, pepper, and seasoning. It was greasy pork and the fellow nearly choked. He never bothered George again. Better Leighton Never What Do We Need Architect's plans for the new postoffice are different from what I thought they'd be. Among other things, I didn’t realize that the building would fill so much of the space. ernment couldn't see fit to offer some public parking. There is enough room on the plot of ground, if the building werent placed dead center in’ the middle of things. Suppose they put is back toward the Bulford Street line. Then much of the front could be used for park- ing, which would aid business on Mai Street and generally in the center of Dallas. Reputable information het it, however, that the postoffice depart- ment is interested in parking on “official business only.” One wonders, though, if puglic dollars wouldn't be better used for stimulating -local business than for implementing 20 th century ad- ministration.

Goodwin, principal of Shavertown Elementary School, died Sunday night at Nesbitt Hospital, where he had been admitted to the medical service late in May. Mr. Goodwin, 61, resident of Harris Hill Road, had been associat- ed with the educational life of the Back Mountain for many years. For 42 years, ever since graduation from Mansfield, he had taught. Dallas Township children, now grown, had him as teacher and elementary principal: He was super- vising principal in Courtdale,, re- turning to the immediate area to become principal at Shavertown. A native of Plains, he was ed- ucated in Plains schools, took his degree at Mansfield, went on to do postgraduate work at Bucknell and at University of Pennsylvania. He belonged to many educational organizations, State and National Educators Associations, Shavertown PTA, National Congress of Parents and Teachers. Masonic affiliations’ were Lodge 61, Keystone Consis- tory, Irem Temple; church, Trucks- ville Methodist. : Always interested in sports, he belonged ‘to the YMCA, and Wilkes- Barre Tennis Club. He was one of the founders of Back Mountain Little League, serving as manager. He also managed the Back Mountain Teeners and Seniors Teeners League. _ He leaves his widow, the former Margaret Rice, Trucksville; two sons: ‘James Carl, teacher in Plym- outh-Whitemarsh schools; and Donn Allen, student at Appalachian State Teachers College in Boone, N. C. Harry Ritts, Sr. Laid To Rest A longtime Back Mountain resi- dent, Harry H. Ritts, Sr., 84 N. Pioneer Avenue, Shavertown, died early Thursday morning at General Hospital, where he had been a pa- tient since May 13 after suffering a fall at his home. Born in Wilkes-Barre, eighty four years ago, son of the late John and Rosanna Relator Ritts, he was educated in the public schools of that city and was a graduate of the former Woods Business College. Mr. Ritts married the former El- sie Nesbitt with whom he moved marked his 59th wedding Septemb- er and resided with his family in the Heights section of Wilkes-Barre until 42 years ago when he built his present home in Shavertown.

By Hix People who live within hearing of Prince of Peace Hpiscopal Church will wonder what has happened on Sunday morning, when the familiar bell is silenced. ~ Strangers in our midst have wondered upon ‘occasion if the Lehigh Valley Railroad were running a special train, completely ignoring the fact, well known to residents, that the Lehigh Valley has been trying to abandon service to this area over a period of years, and has finally succeeded. The engine bell, swinging become a part of the scenery, its lusty apne: for services, has and people will miss it. It was startling in the beginning, but it was a child of necessity. It developed, after the bell tower was erected, that the side portals were too small to admit the bell which has been selected. This was no faplt of the architect or of the builders. The bell originally scheduled to hang in the belfry was aloft iri the belfry of the old Goss School at the intersection of Church Street and Center Hill Road. ‘When plans for demolishing the old school were projected, Dallas Township School Board said that the bell would be available, at a token figure. The belfry gave up its bell, Prince of Peace. Arrived on the grounds, it and it was trucked down to the was hoisted up to the tower, but no amount of jockeying could get it through the narrow openings. This posed a problem.

Each time a parishioner made a donation, he was entitled to give the bell a lusty. whack, and the resultant din was amazing. But more amazing still was what happened in the ‘watches of the night. Some time between midnight and dawn, the Goss bell was, spirited away, and the theft remains a prime mystery to this day! It took four stout men to raise the bell to the scaffolding, so" it seems reasonable that it took four men to remove it, but there is no accounting for misplaced zeal. It is entirely possible that two men, or even a man and a vol buoyed up by the thought of preserving the old Goss bell an putting it out to pasture, may miracle. have been able to accomplish the But somebody, or maybe several somebodies, know where the old bell is stashed away, and could a tale unfold. It would be interesting to know what became of it, especially as it is now perfectly safe. Prince of Peace is installing the newst thing | in electronic systems. The Lehigh Valley bell, which once swung wildly as a Lehigh Valley RR train approached a crossing, remains in situ. But it is bolted down, completely immobile, its brazen clapper stilled forever.
