ATLANTA eo CHICAGO eo DETROIT e LOS ANGELES eo Editorially Speaking Will Your Child Be Killed? Probably some child will get killed before school zone-signs are posted, and traffic held to fifteen miles an hour during times when children are going to school or coming home. In cities, there are usually enough officers to guard main crossings. There are two extremely hazardous crossings, in this area, where drivers speed regardless. One is at Shavertown, the other in Lehman. The schools do not front on the highway, so State law does not require reduction of speed. But the area immediately surrounding both ‘schools is as much a school zone as if the buildings crowded the curb, and the danger is as great, probably greater. Needed are speed signs of the type used in Falls Church, Virginia, where a blinker light warns that school is in session and clearly states the speed limit. : Drivers go on their hands and knees, no matter how late they are for an appointment. The town has a repu- tation for giving no quarter to a driver who races through a school zone. The schools are as far off the highway as Lehman Elementary or Shavertown schools are. Installation of traffic lights is costly, but installation of a school zone sign costs very little. Cars come zoom- ing up the long hill at Lehman, and before the driver knows it, he is scattering children, not visible until the crest of the hill is reached. Slowing a car down so that it has a fighting chance to stop in time, is the answer. NEW YORK In Shavertown, it is an old complaint, and residents are rightfully incensed about the absolute disregard for pedestrians that motorists display while speeding on that beautiful straight highway. There used to be a traffic light at Center Street. For a time, it was the type which had to be switched from the pavement. You had just about time to get back into your car before the light turned against you once more. This was not satisfactory, so a different type of light was installed. Most people continued to think that it was controlled by a hurdle imbedded in the pave, but actually it was timed, and it was possible for a car coming in from Cen- ter Street to join the stream of traffic or make a left t1 turn without disaster. Now there is no light at all, and none at the inter- section of Harris Hill Road . . . two safeguards jetti- soned, the roadway widened to invite heavier traffic, and nothing at all in the way of protection. The median strip forms a slim island of safety, but it is all too easily crossed by hurtling cars. Small children cannot be expected to stand quietly while cars thunder by them on either side. Now that the white lines have been painted, and the highway officially onened, nobody is paying any attention to speed limits at all. But a school zone speed limit sign would be regarded, - just as a stopped school bus with its flashing lights is re- garded. wel NOTHING TO IT A number of blood donors who had never visited the Bloodmobile before, entered the Shavertown YMCA with forebodings last Friday, and came out walking on air. Nothing to it, they said, and meant it. There is a film available which explains whole business in simple terms, step by step, making it completely understandable, and a commonplace performance entirely divested of any worry. The film is available for PTA groups. Some of the clergymen of the area coop- erated by asking their people to go to the Blood Bank and contribute. More cooperation is needed, in order to keep "up the standard set by last Fridays donation, the At CADDIE'S * Big Supply — Insulated Winter Jackets * Woolrich Clothing Wide Variety — Boys’ Shoes $10.95 Hightops for $4.95 Caddie LaBar Sporting Goods — MEMORIAL HIGHWAY __THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1964 Only Yesterday Ten, Twenty and Thirty Years Ago In The Dallas Post 30 Years Ago Remember Shirley Temple?

Book Club members gasped as | they saw themselves on the projec- | tor, looking fifteen years younger and with grandchildren, now in col- lege, clinging to their skirts. They all agreed that Mrs. Paul Gross could not have arranged a more interesting program. At the brief business meeting, the list of new books was presented. They include: ‘Anyone Got A Match?” by Max Shulman; “The i Method,” by Stanley | llin; “The Clocks,” Agatha Christ- | ie; ae Moon,” San San; ‘The | Eyes Around Me,” Gavin Black; “The Flags of Doney,” Harris | Greene; ‘The Ice Saints,” Frank ‘doesn’t scare the rapid little ras i “The Mark of Murder,” Dell Shannon; “My Autobiography,” by | Dag Hammarskjold. | gay with autumn coloring, gold and thee close enough!

Mosser, son of George Mosser, . original founder of Mos- ser's Tannery in Noxen, died aged 77 Sunday at his home in Trexler- town. For a brief time as a young man, he helped his father with operation . of what was later the Armour Tan-. ‘ nery, but his main interest was al- | ways in the field of ‘bricks. ‘He retired ‘some years ago from’ er Allentown. Old-timers of Noxen remember that the Mosser children went away | to school, patronizing locals schools for only the first few grades. It was a great day when the boys came home from military school and took out the horses during vacation time. Social life picked up speed, and Noxen was in ga whirl. The stables were always a mecca for youngsters of Noxen. The family owned one of the first automobiles in the area, a marvel at the time. . During World War I, Mr. Mosser, a 1905 graduate “of Pennsylvania Military College, served with the U.S. Army. : He was maanger of the Common- wealth Building, Allentown; was treasurer of the board of trustees {of the Good Shepherd Home, and on the board of Lehigh Valley Trust Company and the Sacred Heart Hospital. He served on . the Muhlenberg College board for fifteen years, and in his prime was active in the Com- munity Chest in Allentown. . Church affiliations were with St. John’s Lutheran, where he was a member of the vestry, and was a member of the Lutheran Ministeri- um of Pennsylvania. His parents were the late George J. and. Ida Hausman Mosser, of Allentown. y . ‘An older brother Fred died some years ago. !

By Hix Looking back over some of the Pillar Post written twenty years ago, I'm reminded of a lot of things I had almost forgotten. Gasoline rationing, for one; and food stamps; and the impossibility of getting a seat on a train. If you were smart, you carried the kind of a suitcase that was sturdy enough to sit on, not a simple hatbox or a handbag which might collapse under your weight. The trains pulling out of the Lehigh Valley Station in Wilkes- Barre were loaded to the gunwales with soldiers and sailors, and mothers of soldiers and sailors going to see soldiers and sailors some- where down the line. ‘If anybody complained about the crowds and the confusion, the standard reply was, “Ain't you heard? There's a war on.” This explained everything. Why you couldn’t get a berth on the Pullman, for instance. The porters made a pretty good thing of it along about half past midnight. A well-placed tip usually bore fruit, but it was a very hush-hush. affair. The porter would be happy to sit up all night, and it just happened that the berth he had expected to stretch out in was vacant, and “Oh THANK you ma’am.” “Some folks wangled extra gas, but it was frowned upon. It was ' When it came to food, it was every man for himself. —a badge of patriotism-to walk or borrow a bike, or even stay home. Families witha numbeér of children did pretty well. Food stamps were elastic, 4 and most young children could pass up the coffee with ease. But those meat counters, sparsely populated with a littie bologna and chickens past their first youth, did nothing to inspire a cook. By some miracle, housewives were expected to serve delectable meals, 3 but it was a struggle. If your family took to corned beef hash, you could every oncé in awhile find a can of corned beef on the shelves, and you could get potatoes. Curly-cow was something for which you dressed for dinner. Curly-cow used to be a breakfast dish. Then it moved up onto'the luncheon menu, served on triangles of crisp toast and garnished with sliced hard-boiled eggs, a sprig of parsley, and a dash of paprika. During the war it came into its own, and appeared on the dinner table. Men in the service viewed it with disdain, but they got it every once in awhile, and it was a nice exchange from K-rations. We used to call it cat- Nobody ever ‘A can of pink salmon was a treasure. salmon: and buy it, ten cents acan(for the pussy-cat. thought of actually EATING it. Then :came the war, and pink salmon moved up into the luxury class. You fished out what bones you could reach, scraped off the skin, aid then miked the salmon with breadcrumbs, chopped onion, and baked it in the oven. If you wanted, to be downright fancy, Most of us forgot what to do with a standing rib roast. But the situation wasn't grim as it was in the First World War, because nobody in the Second World War suggested that you eat whale steak. Whale steak, take it from one who knows, is THE MOST. It will support life. Let that be its epitaph. An Elder Statesman Dies Former President Herbert Hoover is dead, and with his passing dies the tradition that a great statesman must have been born in a log tabin, and of humble parentage. Herbert Hoover's modest birthplace is preserved for posterity. Son of a blacksmith, Herbert Hoover's Quaker "background placed no barriers in the way of his amassing a large personal fortune as a mining engineer, Brought up in the quiet atmosphere of a Quaker household, where no unkind word was ever spoken, he was ill prepared to withstand the. frustrations of the Great: Depression, when the President of the United States was held responsible for the crash of the stock market which put an end to an economic cycle. Seldom has a man in high office been more bitterly reviled, or: more completely repudiated. A huge dam which was to have born his name, was re-named. ; The word Hoover became anathema. The world forgot that it was Hoover who had or- ganized the massive program of feeding the hungry dur- ing and after the First World War. They forgot that every penny of his salary, and later every penny of his retirement pay, was turned over to charity. ‘But when another world-wide feeding program was : found necessary, they remembered Hoover, and again called upon him. + During the past twenty years be was again accorded his status of Elder Statesman. Without rancor and with- out bitterness; he accepted this. ~The Nation mourns his passing. to half mast. Flags are lowered i ‘His body lies in state in the Capitol at Washington. : Politicians who reviled his. name, rise up and call him blessed. Herbert Hoover was a victim of the times, the whip- ping boy for the Great Depression. He was a great and worthy man, a magnificent humanitarian.
