There seems to be a community enthusiasm which Js not expressed wholly in the growth of chin whiskers, though whiskers add to the fun. People are dredging into their ancestry to find, if a line of descent which will entitle them to standing as candidates for King and Queen. The specifications for King and Queen will come as a shock to teenagers who normally expect to wear the possible, crown. The King and Queen, says Dan Waters, must be at least sixty-five years cld, in addition to being lineal de- ~ scendants of a father and mother who settled in this area before the Civil War. The Civil War is the cut-off date. If you can prove that your forbears broke the virgin soil in the Back Mountain before the War Between the States, you're acceptable. If you cannot dig up an authentic ancestor in your family records, you're a rank newcomer, and you don’t qualify for royalty. Ask Dan for further information. Dan tried to get this Sesqui rolling months ago, but the community was apathetic. It was not until Dallas Kiwanis adopted it as a proj- ect, that it stirred feebly, and then squalled mightily, a lusty infant that looks as if it might grow into a giant practically overnight. A community can celebrate a Sesquicentennial only once in a lifetime. This is the year for Dallas, the year of 1967, a cen tury and a half after its founding in 1817. Pioneers were still alert against Indian raids in those early days. They tilled their soil with oxen, they cleared their rocky pastures and built boundary fences with the stones, they cut the pines and burned them to make room for garden patches, and in the still warm soil they planted their seeds. Many of the stone walls still persist, some of them some falling into ruin. Most of the pine-root fences are gone, only a few worn stubs remaining in the fence-rows. ~ Many elderly people of the region can recall the days when the pine root fences interlocked, forming a tight beautifully kept, barrier for the cattle. As children, they industriously dislodged caked earth from the gnarled roots, and peered through the holes into They climbed the roots like rude ladders, and walked from root to root like little mountain goats. It took strong oxen to pull a pine stump from its bed, drag it to its appointed place in the fence, and turn it the pastures. on edge. "A yoke of oxen acknowledges no defeat. until it drops dead. . Pioneers hereabouts were of the same sturdy stuff as the oxen, a fitting symbol. dropped, bringing a new land to life. ET Soa Drought? What Drought? Maybe there’s something in that St. Swithin’s Day : the one that says, goes over the Mountain and gets her skirts wet, it will superstition after all rain for forty days.” As of Thursday, August 3, with a violent thunder- storm lashing the Back Mountain, following a spectacular display of lightning during the carly morning hours, there has been just one day which did not show at least a few drops of rain, since July 2nd. Water tables must be Nobody has ever seen greener grass. And painters are going crazy trying to complete their jobs. It's tough on the amusement parks which must make their livelihood during the summer months, before their proprietors go into hibernation or take off for Florida. And it’s very depressing for picnickers. Remember last year? We were in the midst of a drought, and everybody was praying for rain. I TR Rm ergs THE SESQUICENTENNIAL PINE TREE by Dan Waters The following is quoted and con- densed from “The Early Settlement of Dallas Township, Pa.” by W. P. Ryman (1886). “As may be inferred from the large humber of large pine stumps still seen merous stump fences about Dal- las, there was at one time a species of very tall pine trees covering the | country.

We feel that if we want to take advantage of the lower rate for surface mail we can write our letters a day earlier and remember to mail them instead of carrying them around in pocket or handbag, depending upon the sex of the sender. We don’t mind ten cents for the privilege of having our letters airborne. We can take the six-cent first class postage in our stride. But we can’t see the six cent postcard. A sealed envelope insures privacy, an open-faced postcard can be read by any casual person through whose hands it must pass before delivery. Letters and postcards are not comparable in service to the public. What we would like to see is a curb on the junk mail that daily clutters our post office boxes. Very few people even open junk mail. They toss it in File 13. Anybody who really wishes to catch our attention is well advised to use a sealed envelope and a first class postage stamp.

Valuable Topsoil Lost To Region Uncounted tons of topsoil, placeable, washed downstream dur- ing the recent deluges in this area, carrying the life-producing earth down the Susquehanna and into Chesapeake Bay, where it is lost forever. Larry Corson, Work Unit Soil Conservationist, says that the after- math of soil erosion is staggering. Many people, he continued, are not taking advantage of the serv- ices offered by Luzerne County Soil and Water Conservation Service and the United States Government Conservation Service. A complete conservation program, with subsequent installation of con- servation measures, would have saved thousands of tons of produc- tive topsoil during the recent down- pours. Technical assistance is readily available after the preliminary plan has been drawn up for individual land-owners who ask for such serv- ices. Property owners’ cooperation is strictly voluntary, and only con- servation practices which they de- sire are installed. ‘The survey and advice are both free. Since Luzerne County launched its conservation. program three years ago, 250 land-owners have requested assistance in developing a conservation plan and many others have received consultive as- sistance. “It’s like the man who needed a new roof,” said Mr." Corson, ‘he couldn't fix the roof: when it was raining, and when it ‘wasn’t raining, the. roof didn’t leak, so why bother ? Too many people wait until their soil is going downstream before they do anything about saving it.” Anybody interested in determin- ing conservation needs for his land, may get in touch with the United States Soil Conservation Service at the Federal Building (Post Office) irre- to Ezra Rozelle and Nelson Lewis. | open for | DALLAS, | Frem— inducing the young to remain in great good of the Library. lieve there were some small boys tory imperceptibly shrank into a and nothing to fall out of. the fleeting years, Tonight, it will be seven kids stop-over, Lessee now: Separating the the Glory-Hole for anybody who three boys who can spread. their floor, or set up a cot apiece. for the pop. air.
