So what's 19677 I'll tell you what 1967 is. it’s the 150th an- niversary of the founding of Dallas — the sesquicentennial. Dallas in 1817 was a township, the borough not coming to pass until over a half century later. But the present borough was, of course, part of the township. It‘s even money that people are going to want some kind of recogni- and Main Street may look like Grant's headquarters at the turn of the New Year, for the beards. Lest they get caught unceremon- ially, the town fathers should meet with an executive board of the serv- ice clubs around here and schedule some ceremonies ‘and festivities, be- cause time really moves along. Sure, things can be slapped together at the last minute, but it's more sat- isfactory - to everyone if they are more premeditated. Tt would be a nice display of the growing sense of community be- tween the borough and township, and it might be just about this time that they, in conjuction with the engineers and Kingston Town- ship, will be able to announce something concrete about the pro- posed sew age disposal system raary 4 Wall Street Journal, en- titled “Business and Viet Nam” has this entry: “In Dallas, Pa., vice president for G.
