Sometimes their unceasing activity wearies us. They have an excess of energy. ; Do we ever stop to think of those children who are NOT able to run and play, those who must walk pain- fully, if at all, on artificial limbs, whose hands cannot hold a ball, whose every motion is a triumph? Until fresh air is shut off, we never think about fresh It is something which is always there. We expect freedom of motion, much as we expect air.

Lloyd Karschner, 77, was | buried one week after he had of- | | ficiated at his daughter Ruth's wed- fresh air. The ability to walk and run is something which is an inherent right of childhood. . We do not know how fortunate we are that this is something which is taken for granted. In a world whose horizon is bounded by a wheel- chair, the ability to move about freely, to play on the school grounds, to run and whoop and become red in the face with enthusiasm, is something which is the highest goal in a child’s life. : All the Jimmies and Marys and Billys are out there in the spring sunshine wrestling, tumbling, skipping, shouting with the sheer joy of animal spirits. There is one who is waiting for help. He may never attain the freedom of action of his fellows, but the Crip- pled Children’s Fund holds out hope to him that he can move about without assistance. As a thank-offering for your own lusty children, make a contribution to the association which offers help to those who are crippled.

We'd off a near-riot in the community. | Everybody’s grandmother, = Aunt Mattie, and assorted ancestry used to churn, but capturing a real live churn with somebody pushing the | dasher up and down methodically, is m horse of an@ther color. Most of the hitherto churners are either buying margarine or have | long. since been called to their ie- ward. Clyde Birth, with connections down in the Broadway area, has fond recollections of churning done in the springhouse of a family home built in 1834. He disclaims per- sonal knowledge of the first churn- ing. Mrs. Albert E. Ruff, down Balti- more way. recollects that her grand- mother, Mrs. J. E. Boston of Ricketts Glen, now 82, used to churn until trade in butter for supplies for the home. If we needed cash. we'd sell to town and the chat with the Wil- liams Brothers who owned the store. I always felt proud that they kept r ‘butter for their own heme use | instead’ of selling it to customers.” four or five years ago when she sold her cows, cutting off the butter at the source. She always added a bit extra to the measured pound pat, to give her customers a “good” pound. Mrs. W.J. Smith. Huntsville Road, signing herself “The Citv Slicker,” tells how it was done. She says: “I moved onto a farm, not by choice, but by necessity. I got up at four in the morning, went to the barn, fed seven cows, washed their udders, gave Belle a pat, and said “now GIVE.” Then on to Bessie, who was a Guernsey and gave richer milk, and so down through the seven cows. ] assure you it took some pulling. “In the milk-house I strained the milk through a clean cloth into crocks, put the crocks on shelves in the milk house, left it about three days to ripen, then skimmed off the cream from the sour milk and put it in a barrel churn. (Shame on you Millie, this was a DASHER churn inquiry.) “Some folks believed putting a hot poker into the cream would chase the hex away. “After the butter collected into a ball, we'd take it out and put it into a wooden bowl, and paddle out the buttermilk by adding cold water. You have to know by guesswork how much salt needed. If it isn’t mixed in properly, it will streak. We used to make the butter up into loaves. If you have a hig stomach it helps to hold the bowl while you | are making up the two and a half to four-pound loaves. “After all that doings, the loaves are put on plates and on shelves OTHERS HEARD FROM Mrs. Josephine. Benscoter, Hun- locks Creek; says she has a dasher churn, butter bowl, ladle, and but- ter print. Mrs. Mary Hudak knows the ins and outs of butter making. So does Perry Patton of Buckwheat Hollow. Letha Wolfe, out at Meeker, has not churned for quite a spell. Mrs. Nesbitt Garinger, Lake Street, responded enthusiastically, but it has been twenty-five years since she actually made butter with a dasher churn. She reports that by the time you get fourteen pounds of butter clinging to the dasher, the up and down motion is enough to cripple you. She recollects that on many an occasion she made 100 pounds a week, which is a wad of butter, even for the wife of a dairyman. She had a wooden mold which held just one pound of butter, pack- ed tightly. When turned out, the butter had a maple leaf design on top. She laughs about one incident. right after the end of the first World War, when two pounds of butter brought an unexpected bo- nus. Mr. Myers, a Wilkes-Barre jeweller, came to Dallas to get some butter. Upon being told the lot was sold, he offered $1 a pound, and managed to liberate two pounds. There is an old army term for that sort of shenanigan. Mrs. Garinger, as Alberta Elston churned many a pound of butter in her mother’s kitchen before going in for it in wholesale quantity. Eventually, in the dairy, th wooden dasher churn was replaced by” electric model, and the days of hand churning were over. The Dallas Post expects to be snowed under with telephone calls from folks who are still churning. Ask for Mrs. Hicks. This is merely 2 starter on the churning question.

ERR CR CR CR CR CR Ca CR CR CR CRT aT CEs Better Leighton Never RE QVEIRDL Running over Dallas Posts of a year back, we see that the current issue’ was the closing of Sgarlat’s landfill vand the ensuing crisis over to dump Back Mountain garbage. We asked Bill Berti, who main- tains optimistically = “business is always picking up’. He tells us there is no crisis anymore, and that truckers are now making use of the West Side landfill and of 't landfill operation in the Back Moun- tain, Hoover and Milbrodt’s out in | Lehman. You recall that the problem was, as per state law, landfills must be regulated and covered over with a certain amount of earth, requiring a bulldozer. The days of the old- , fashioned open dump are over. This state health regulation, while com- mendable, runs to money, and there was some question as to whether anyone local was willing to undergo the expense. There was also ques- tion as to whether or not the Back Mountain would be permitted to make any more than temporary use of the West Side Landfill which is ‘a cooperative run by and for the benefit of the communities there. Accustomed to parking one’s car on Main Street, one takes no notice of the fact that he is parked over a drain grate leading down to Toby’s Creek until he gets back At that, Mr. car- owner is convinced that nothing mitted to Veterans Hospital after? will restore the interior to its origi- nal ‘condition short of a trade-in.

May I personally: take this oppor- tunity to thank you for the support I've received during the last eight seasons of trout stocking. Within our County, approximate- ly 30,000 fishing license buyers, to- gether with their families, look to you for the information they seek. In no other way would it be pos- sible for our Commission to inform them when or where we are doing what! The news of trout stockings has always held first place with these people, judging from the letters and phone calls I receive when and if | they miss an announcement. I believe you will agree that news | regarding the stocking of fish is; still good news - even when late. | There are times when the arrival of stocking notices at my office does not permit notification to you in time for advanced publication. I' ask that you bear in mind that | your paper may be ‘the only one to which a large section of the county may subscribe and your failure to print a stream as, “having | been stocked”, can leave the im- pression that it has ‘not been.

Plenty of people keep house-books, but they are in the main a record of repairs and temperatures, the time when the first cardinal approached the bird feeder, the date of the first crocus, the time in June when a killing frost on the tenth took all the to- mato plants, the day the new refrigerator replaced the model which had been doing business since the mid-thirties. Saturday morning there was a thunderous knock at the back door, and there stood Bill Moss with a tremendous volume, some- what beat-up, in his arms, and a beaming smile wreathing his face. manuscript and displaying his treasure. “T'll need a table top,” he announced, sweeping off a stack of Bill's book is not a mere account of what happened in his house- Back Mountain and around the world. hold, but of what happened in everybody else’s household in the In that battered ledger, he has trapped in capsule form, about the most complete account of life for the past twenty-five years tradi you could imagine. Want to know what you were paying for gas in 1941? bread? electric service? fuel oil? Ask Bill. He will quote you dates and figures. Want to know the date of somebody's wedding? and the ex- pected outcome ? Shame on you!) If you think you've gotten away with murder during the past twenty-five years, stay away from Bill. He has the lowdown. Fortunately, the facts are written so closely together and in such indecipherable handwriting (except to Bill), that nobody would likely spend ‘too much time in excavating. He has everything in there. What he bought at the Library Auction and how much he paid for it, and how much in the way of unfinished furniture he painted up himself and contributed, and whether it was a rooster or a cock pheasant that the fat little boy DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA on the hill purchased for a dime. Want to know how many seniors were in the graduating class at Dallas Borough School in 1950 ? What kids were discharged from the service in 19457 What kind of weather we had for the first Library Auction? What Back Mountain kids were the first Pearl Harbor ? to volunteer right after Bill has it, some of it is red ink, some of it in black, depending on what color he happened to have in his fountain pen at the mo- ment. When did television first come to the area?’ When did the Shaver Theatre close its doors for the last time? When was Pioneer Avenue paved, causing a wild burst of spect on the part of drivers who had become accustomed to missing the potholes by careful sailing ? What was the date of the opening of the Outdoor Theatre ? The name of the cop in Dallas in 1942? Here at the Dallas Post, we thought we had a fair record of the Back Mountain in the bound volumes. What we didn’t have, Bill has. You'd never believe, until you turned the pages of Bill's house- book, how much times have changed in these parts. But not the weather. The weather, year after year, remains about the same. Bill's book agrees on the warm spell in March, succeeded by the totally unexpected snowfall and the opportune freeze which holds back the lilac buds. Bill looked up from his perusal of an item, underlining it with his finger. the book, and rising to his feet. “You'd never believe it, would you?” he queried, closing Nope, I'd never have believed it, but there it was, in red ink. Some day, somebody will break into Bill's house in the middle of the night and swipe that book. It won't do him any good.” He can’t read it. : x * x Back Mt.
