55 Oratorio Society concert wt : The final rehearsal for the spring presentation of the Wyoming Valley Oratorio So- ciety was much more interest- ing than the concert itself Sun- day afternoon. There was a chance to see an ace director in action, directing, stopping the performance in midflight, rais- ing the baton again for another start. (‘When you come to the Jompah, oompah, oompah,”’ he explained, “it's the OOM you want to hit, not the Pah. The Pah will come along. Let’s go.” ; There was an astonishing amount. of Oompah. It has been a long time since Irem Temple stage featured so many percussion instruments. Acolytes serving the kettle drums and the bass drum leaned their ears close to the sheepskin to test the tempera- ture and assay the tempera- ment. As one of the sopranos re- marked, ‘We ought to be wearing flowered peasant skirts and black laced bodices to- lorrow, instead of robes.” It was a gay and springlike concert. ~ After the invited guests from the institution districts left at the intermission, it became more festive. %oys’ camp The Rev. Francis J. Houston, Tunkhannock, Catholic’ Dioce- san camp for boys, has an- nounced that James T. Atherton will be coach in residence this summer. Mr. Atherton is a graduate of Wilkes College and is now head basketball coach at Luzerne County Community College, Wilkes Barre.

Don’t tell me of the gloomy things, Or the death of a baby boy, Just let me live in happiness, And let glory be my toy. DIANE MARY HACKMAN: 227 Stone Ave. Clarks Summit The orchestra tuned up “like fifty-seven stomach- aches,” alligators grunted, ele- phants trumpeted, horns blat- ted, the kettle drums ap- proached frenzy, and pande- monium accompanied a final triumphant clash of the cym- bals. ; A feverish musician who had been beating the bass drum reached out a long jersey clad arm, helped himself to a boot- leg Coke, and enjoyed the pause that refreshes. Girls in miniskirts rested their violins, and Clifford Bal- shaw left the podium momen- tarily. When he returned, the or- chestra and singers got down to business. The first portion of the rehearsal had been pre- sented without interruption. Now the assemblage started to work. Instructions recalled to mind that famous remark of Pop Gies, when whipping a similar group into shape some 30 years ago. Pop told the musicians what to wear: ‘Dark suits for the men, and of course, bright yellow shoes.” Bright yellow shoes became a password. First violin was Ferdinand Liva; cellist, Enzo Liva. Catherine Gilbert of the Dallas Post staff, a standby official road map of state An official highway map of Pennsylvania is ready for dis- tribution. It may be obtained through the Bureau of Public Informa- tion, State Highways Depart- ment, and the Travel Develop- ment Bureau, Department of Commerce, Harrisburg. It is also available at all 79 Highway Department offices in the Commonwealth, at any Pennsylvania Turnpike inter- change, and at tourist booths. The State highways network is the fourth largest in the United States, 44,000 miles. The map has advance in- formation as of July 1, 1969, including changes in 13 traffic routes. All roads opened since last summer are shown, in- cluding many new interstate links. The map is an artistic tri- umph as well as a faithful picture of routes, showing scenery and historical territory, State parks, gamelands, for- ests. Cities are shown in capsule maps on the back of the publi- cation. The map was prepared by the State Highways Department in cooperation with the Depart- ment of Forest and Waters and the Pennsylvania Game Com- mission. board cracks down on liquor importing The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board made it clear this week that its crackdown on ye illegal importation of liquor vill continue. Chairman William Z. Scott, commenting on the late 1968 crackdown that resulted in the arrest of 290 dn and the confiscation of vehicles and 3790 bottles of liquor, wine and. beer, said: “This enforcement action is . not confined to the pre-holiday season. From time to time: during the year our enforce- ment officers will be assigned to check on the illegal importa- tion of alcoholic beverages from other states, “The Liquor Code makes it unlawful to transport or pos- sess alcoholic beverages on" which the Pennsylvania ‘tax has not been paid. In fairness to all the taxpayers of the Com- monwealth, we must meet our responsibility by enforcing the law. We want the consuming public to be aware of the law and the consequences of violat-. ing it. Violators are subject to fines and the possible confis- cation of their vehicles. “We are not anxious to make a lot of arrests. We prefer pre- ventive cnforcement and hope that by alerting Pennsylvanians - to the existence of the law and the penalties provided, wé& will not find it necessary to arrest’ anyone. “The Board wants it clearly understood, however, that we: intend to enforce the law and to prosecute offenders.” geet prices up, chicken a better bet | ‘Food prices change slowly. Ordinarily they increase grad- ually and decline at a slower rate, or so it seems. Most people agree there are more ups than downs and that is the situation in the meat de- partment this week. Price increases have struck nearly all beef cuts as cattle cost more and retailers paid two to three cents more per pound for their supplies. Con- sequently your favorite beef dinner will cost more this week. Specials of the week are pegged several cents a pound ‘above usual prices. Even so, * retailers are providing a vari- .ety of features and better buys which include center and blade . cut church roasts, round roasts and ground beef. Pork prices also have been olding about steady. Ap- parently higher beef costs have ¥ - a been responsible for some switching from beef to pork. Many shoppers are fond of the leaner pork they can buy today and use it more often. Modern merchandising and packaging have helped to ex- pand consumer acceptance of pork products. Even though pork prices have advanced, smoked picnics, spare ribs, shoulder butts and bacon are better buys. Fryer chickens offer the best promotional opportunities this week. Production of fryers has expanded noticeably this year and price advances have been less than for beef or pork. In view of generally higher meat prices, the fryer chickens. are valuable customer traffic builders this week. Whole grade A fryers are priced in the 29 to 33 cents a pound range in some stores. Fryer Et ER SREY EN BERRA ota in the musical world of the Valley and recording secretary of the Oratorio, sings in the soprano section. Betty Patton, one-time direc- - tor of the Dallas Womans Club Chorale, was hostess for the rehearsal, slipping up to the balcony after the concert was well under way. The Liebeslieder waltzes by Brahms in the first section, gave no indication of the car- nival riot which was to come in the tavern scenes from Car- mina Burana. Like the man said, the last part of the concert called for peasant skirts, twinkling slip- pers, and plenty of percussion. The whole thing was mar- velously done, and in gay abandon. Patrons who heard only the concert itself Sunday afternoon, missed the pleasure of seeing a group of singers and musi- cians welded into a whole by a director who each year gains stature in the world of music. Zeigler seeks re-election as supervisor LaRoy Ziegler, veteran of- ficial and present chairman of the Board of Supervisors in Kingston Township, has an- nounced he will be a candidate for that office in the May 20 Primary election. Mr. Ziegler first took office in 1957 and subsequently was reelected in 1963. His service on the board has witnessed progress of the board from its former meeting room in the equipment shed to the Veterans Association Building on the highway and then to the present municipal building, the most modern in the Back Mountain. He aided and urged the com- plete replacement of all anti- quated township equipment and the addition of new labor sav- ing devices. As Board Chairman at the time of the construction of the Lake Highway he was largely responsible for the installation of the traffic signals in the township along the highway: He also aided in the procure: * ment of four new police cruis- ers for the township and the addition of other modern facili- ties for better police service. Recently he sponsored and helped in the creation of the Water Commission to resolve water problems in the town- ship, including the recent Trucksville water problem. Supervisor Ziegler also spon- sored the joint police facility ‘now serving Kingston Towns- ship, Dallas Township and Dallas Borough from the Dal- las Township Police Headquar- ters at the Upper Demunds Road and Route 309. He is a resident of Carverton Road, Carverton, where he re- sides alone since the death of his mother last fall. His wife died in 1950. A daughter, Janet, is a public relations executive in New York City. Organizations THE DALLAS POST, APRIL 24, 1969 men in Vietnam Theodore Higgins Thomas G. Appel * *Thomas J.

Depuy, reported some organizations; which have been exempted from State Tax on certain purchases, may be er- roneously neglecting to collect a sales tax. Volunteer Fire Companies, religious and charitable organi- zations must register with the - Bureau of Taxes for Education parts and quarters are corre- . spondingly higher. The spring season is re- sponsible for hurrying new crops of vegetables to market. Asparagus and avocados are in peak supply this month al- though our lowest asparagus prices occur a little later when local supplies are heavier. If you are fond of a fresh ‘salad you can make good use of cabbage, carrots, celery, endive, escarole, peppers and radishes. All of those vege- tables are moderately priced. Head lettuce is high in price and may continue to be for several weeks. There is plenty of variety. in the fresh fruit section but only a few qualify as reasonable in cost. These are bananas, oranges, grape- fruit, Eastern grown apples and pineapples. % and collect sales tax if they sell personal property or serv- ices that are subject to the Pennsylvania Sales and Use Tax. Some examples of this are a volunteer Fire Company . that operates a social room where prepared food is sold, or a Church organization that operates a stand at a country fair. The fact that all of the pro- ceeds from these sales might be used for the organization- exempt functions, does not excuse it from collecting and remitting the sales tax due to the Bureau. The reason for this is that the tax is actually paid by the customers of the sales and not by the organiza- tion. ; If the organization regularly engages in a business, it should contact the Bureau of Taxes for Education to obtain a permanent license. If the sales are seasonal and infre- quent, the organization may ob- tain a temporary license from the Scranton District Office, located at 125 N. Washington Ave., Scranton, telephone 346- 0763. The temporary license will expire and must be turned in at the end .of the sale. Secretary Depuy urged all organizations that make any sales to contact .the Scranton District Office ‘or the Bureau of Taxes for Education, P.O.
