Mrs. Leroy Brown spoke on “The Negro in Wyoming Val- ley’’. Her talk stressed their problems in regards to employ- ment, housing and education.

When contacted in advance through the grapevine, three families were delighted to re- port that this year they could make the holiday feast on their own. At last Wednesday's regular meeting at Irem Country Club, Mrs. John Blase reported that heavy clothing has been ob- tained for a family, and that a heating stove had been in- stalled. Mrs. Thomas Kreidler, ser- vice chairman, says that there is a constant demand at any time of year for children’s shoes, and in winter time heavy boots. At this time of year, heavy outer clothing can al- ways be used. The Key Club, sponsored by Kiwanis, contributed $150 to the project of Kiwanis Women, to be expended as the club de- sired. Four members of the Dallas Senior High School Dramatics ; Club staged a demonstration of make-up.

The plaque was presented to the Staff of the Dallas Post Wednesday night at the annual Joint Service Club Dinner. It was received by Mrs. T.M. 'B. Hicks, who was caught off center, her pencil poised in mid- air, when Leo Corbett, presi- dent of the host Kiwanis Club, made the announcement. William R. Wright was the first recipient, in 1962; Lester Jordan the second, in 1963; Joseph Parks in 1964; John Butler, 1965; Robert W. Parry, 1966. No award was given in 1967, as the Dallas Sesquicentennial took precedence over club ac- tivities. Alfred Y. Ackerson by tradi-' tion gave the welcoming ad- dress. Toastmaster Merrill Faegenburg introduced men at the head table: Carl Henderson, Edward M. Buckley, Leo A. Corbett, Rev. Thomas A. Flynn, Alfred Ackerson, Rev. W: C. Bispels, R.

Attendance trophy passed from Rotary Club to Kiwanis, which had 76 percent of its membership present, as com- . pared to 74 from Rotary and 54 from the Lions. Frederick Wegner, manager of City of Wilkes-Barre, spoke from his six foor four height, outlining the relationship of a manager and the governing body. City manager system was originated in Staunton, Vir- ginia, some fifty years ago, he explained. Not only is it ap- plicable to cities, but to coun- ties. The commission system was inaugurated in Galveston im- mediately following the dis- astrous tidal wave of the early 1900s, and found so successful pr. sand cbuggy days and" the: kero- that it was adopted on a per- manent basis. Many small cities could adopt ‘the manager plan with benefit, stated Mr. Wegner. City managers, however, have no contracts. A change in politics frequently means an upheaval in management. “Sometimes we look at school superintendents with envy,” he continued Day in and day out operation of a city, Mr. Wegner said, it big business, and steady super- vision with no hazards of new- comers making the wrong de- cisions, is greatly to be desired. It takes a long time to learn the ropes. Such mundane matters as garbage removal and street cleaning must be faced. Full cooperation between manager and elected officials is a must. This Greater Wyoming Val- ley area, he said, has every- thing, the scenery, the native resources, the educational faci- lities. The demand for wider-based services is ever growing. Peo- ple ‘may complain about the cost of such services, but they would: not go back to the horse sene lamp. What happens in the Valley is of vital interest to men in the Back Mountain, as Dallas be- comes more and more a bed- room community. The necessary network of highways is slow in coming, but it is inevitable. The possibilities of this area are unlimited. Mr. Wegner was given a cer- tificate by Mr. Faegenburg. Singing was led by Red Am- brose and Warren Dadurka, with Don Anthony at the piano” — all six stanzas of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, and other favorites. Rev. Thomas Flynn gave the invocation, Rev. William Bis- pels the benediction. Present. at the Joint Service Club Dinner: John George, John J. Mul- hern, Joseph J. Harrington, Fred E.
