Editorially Speaking
For Those Over Sixty
Questionnaire for those over sixty:
How long has it been since you bought a loaf of
bread for five cents, a dozen eggs for a dime, bananas for
ten cents a dozen, and pork chops for twenty-five cents a
pound?
How long since you bought flowered percale for ten
cents a yard?
Did you have a family car when you were a child?
Were you educated in a one-room school-house? Was
there electricity in that small building? Plumbing? How
far did you walk to school? Did you carry a dinner-pail”
Did you do your arithmetic on a slate with a squeaky
slate pencil?
How much do you pay for coal nowadays, compared
with ‘what you used to pay? A good suit? A piece of
farm machinery? An extension ladder?
You would agree, then, that the price of everything
has gone up?
Right?
Everything has gone up.
Including the cost of education, the cost of erecting
new buildings, the cost of fuel and maintenance.
In 1900, a teacher earned $30 a month. In 1935,
teachers earned less than $1,000 a year, principals a little
more. This was in the depth of the Depression.
: But, because living expenses were less, and you could
get more for your dollar, people managed.
Your teachers are paid more realistically these days.
They are still not paid enough. Each year we lose to other
states new teachers who would much prefer to take posi-
tions nearer home. Some of our teachers make a real
sacrifice in order to remain with a school system which
enlists their loyalty, turning down lucrative offers.
A school system is big business, and it requires an ad-
ministrator who can operate it.
This area is steadily changing its complexion. It
used to be largely rural, settled by the pioneers back in
1775.
Times changed, electricity made its appearance,
houses installed plumbing, people bought cars.
And they complained then, as now, about the cost
of education.
. What was good enough for Pa was good enough for
their grandchildren.
Education does cost money. It will continue to cost
money. It will cost more money as mandated standards
rise.
Face it. Reassessments of property, with increased
taxation, will work hardship on people with fixed incomes,
especially those who are retired, who find themselves now
financing education for youngsters belonging to their
neighbors.
The “frill” of one generation becomes the necessity
of another.
] What about that TV you just bought?
No candidate for office can possibly promise his con-
stituents that the clock can be set back.
Do you really WANT it to be?
Not A Simple Disease
Measles is not a simple disease. It can lead to un-
fortunate complications. Annually, many children die
of measles, far more than die of Polio.
Vaccines are now available.
Advice to parents is not to accept as a matter-of-
course the belief that all children get measles. Children
can be safe-guarded.
The seasonal peak is at hand during the spring.

Vendals Rip Up Five Flower Beds
Some drunks got loose around 3
or 4 Sunday morning and tore up
spring flowers by the roots and
cut them off with a knife, along
Avenue and at Hunts-
ville .on Hillside Road. They hit
but were not
seen.

uprooted and cut.
First stop of .the vandals was
probably - at the ‘home of Robert
Casper, Hillside Road, where they
uprooted jonquils, daffodils, and tu- |
lips. Mrs. Casper notified the Dal- |

that morning. One party on Over-
brook heard a foreign car motor.

ties struck were those of Raymond

I have been referred several times
this week to the May issue of Red-
book magazine, an article called |
“The. Best Wagon in the Fight for

the proposition that a school board |
“can. make or break a school |
system”.
Since the school directorship race |
in the Dallas district primaries (the |
only election ‘that counts around
here) looks like near war between
the averred liberal, or education- |

elements, the article, which I hes- |

‘While there is no school director

The Lake-Lehman administration
is said to be interested in finding
another position © for Mr. Naugle,
who has been highly respected as a
director, and favors him
against the incumbent, William
Samuel. At the same time, Samuel |

We would like to bring to the |

ment made by Ray Carmon, of the
Pennsylvania Economy League, at
April meeting of the Dallas
School Board with reference to the
budget for the coming year.
“This budget is one of the best
prepared school budgets we've run
into in this area. There is no indi-
cation of unrealistc estmating of
thing I'm concerned about is that,
for an operation of this size, the
cash balance is very small.”!!
As for the increase in the budget |
the in-|
crease in the pupil population of |
the school system - from 2400 to |
3200 - and the mandated teacher
salary increases are sufficient to
this in themselves. Tt
is only due to the competent and
dedicated work of the administra-
tion and school board that we have
gotten so much more for our money. |

By Hix ;
When Merrill Faegenburg started talking about some wonder-
ful woman or other at the Auction Kick-Off dinner last Wednesday
night, it sounded good, but it made no lasting impression on Hix, ;
who was allowing her mind to wander, hoping for another cup of
coffee, and estimating the probable number of people present.
Good time, she reflected, for circulating on tiptoe and gather-
ing up the yellow Dallas Post slips from the ends of the tables.
Then Mildred Smith hissed, “Stand up, you nitwit.”
“What for?” was the obvious retort.
Then came the light. So THAT was what Merrill Faegenburg
was up to a little earlier in the afternoon, and the Antique Commit-
tee had come and sat in the lap of the only genuine Antique in the
business.
That person was Hix, wearing her laurels like a lopsided halo,
and entirely speechless.
A sucker to end suckers.
The committee on Antiques for

This sounded fine, just what Hix has always wanted, a chance
to sit around with her feet up, gathering the credit, while others
scurried about, and produced the goods.
When the Auction Committee scrapes the bottom of the barrel:

nuttin.
But on general principles, Hix will come across with that fish-

Competitive bidding from the onlookers tapered off, but one’
dogged voice from behind the block kept raising the ante to an im-
possible level.

Finally, Hix threw in the sponge. If the bidder wanted that yard-"
he could have it. Bob Bachman:

Howard stepped out from behind the block. “Thought I could bid
you up,” he grinned, “and now yow can take your such-and- such
and so-and-so fish-platter home with you. Be my guest.”
The fish platter,
indecipherable monogram, would hold a whale. Nobody since the
first World War has bought a whale, even in steak form, so it is com-
pletely useless.
But there is no doubt about it. It is a genuine antique.
Along with Hix.
And the committee on antiques doesn’t know what it is up
against. :

And let that be a lesson to all future auction chairmen.
