THE DALLAS POST,
Know your neighbor--- opr. owen Faut
“I hope science finds a
method to let people live at least
a hundred years longer than the
present life span,” said Dr.
Owen Faut, ‘there is still so
much I want to do and to learn.”
Dr. Faut has put this philosophy
_ to work in his everyday life; he
is very busy in his profession,
chemical research, and yet
finds time for many outside in-
terests. He is a man with a tre-
mendous zest for life.
A native Pennsylvanian, who
spent his growing years in
Pennsburg, Dr. Faut graduated
from ' Muhlenburg College in
1958 and received a Ph.D. in
chemistry from M.L.T. in 1962.
He taught for five years in Han-
over (®llege in Indiana and
Theme of this year’s Com-
munity Growth Conference,
conducted by Wilkes College In-
stitute of Regional Affairs, is
““Goals for Human Needs.” Ac-
cordingito Dr. Hugo V. Mailey,
institut8@director, plans for the
10th annual conference, which
will be held Sept. 30, are now in
preparation.
In keeping with the general
purposezof the conference, this
year’s Will provide local offic-
ials and the general public with
came to Wilkes College three
years ago.
He and his wife, Claire, and
their four lovely children,
Nathan 8, Robin 7, Amy 5, and
Amanda 3, decided to settle in
the Back Mountain area. The
rooms of their charming home
on Norton Avenue, Dallas, re-
fleet several of Dr. Faut’s inter-
ests. A sturdy lamp table and a
unique room screen were
fashioned by Owen Faut, the
part-time carpenter and wood-
worker. He is presently at work
making several miniature
chests of drawers and one of his
ambitions is to make an entire
dining room suite for their
home.

information necessary to deal
with emerging issues in the
renaissance of Northeastern
Pennsylvania. Past conferences
have been instrumental in
bringing together both the
private and public sectors with
national and state authorities in
their fields.
Two panels have been ar-
ranged to discuss ‘‘Comprehen-
sive Health Planning at the Re-
gional, County and Local
Levels.”

darkroom equipment, that will
soon be set up so that he can
once again develop his own
photographs. This is an interest
that has spanned many years;
while in college he was a photo
editor of the newspaper and has
taken many historical stills and
slides in the years since then.
Particularly notable are his
colored slides of Pennsylvania
illuminated manuscripts.
A member of an old Pennsyl-
vania German family who set-
tled here in 1725, Dr. Faut is in-
trigued by their folk lore and
culture. He belongs to the Gos-
henhoppen Historians and has
conducted seminars at Wilkes
“College on the history and cul-
tural artifacts of the region. His
speciality is illuminated manu-
scripts and he is the proud pos-
sessor of two fine examples that
belonged to members of his
mother’s family.
Dr. Faut knows several very
interesting facts concerning the
part Pennsylvania Germans
played in the birth of our nation.
He told of an incident when
George Washington’s body-
guards were attempting to
poison his food and otherwise
destroy him. General
Washington dismissed them all.
He recruited new bodyguards,
Pennsylvania Germans from
Pottstown, and they served with
him until the end of the war and
guarded him well.
Another interesting historical
fact is that the German transla-
tion of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was available before
the American original. It was
printed and distributed to the
German speaking population of
Philadelphia days before it was
read to the American public by
David Nixon July 8 in Public
Square, Philadelphia.
Despite his wealth of historic-
al knowledge, Dr. Faut is first
and foremost a chemist. In ad-
. dition to teaching, he is engaged
in research in inorganic chem-
istry. His field is primarily
metals and he specializes in the
way atoms position themselves
in stereochemistry and the
effect of varied geometric
structures on electrons.
Well-recognized in his chosen
. field, Dr. Faut has a five year
research grant from the Amer-
ican Chemical Society
Petroleum Research Fund. He
spends his summers in his
Wilkes College Laboratory, as-
sisted by salaried student re-
search assistants, conducting
varied experiments and studies
in his field.
As you can see, Dr. Faut is a
very busy man, but not too busy
to become an active part of our
community. This spring he vol-
unteered his services to help
form the Back Mountain Asso-
ciation For Better Education
and shortly after it was estab-
lished, he was elected to the
presidency. Dedicated to better
schools for the children in the
area, the citizens’ organization
is planning a full program be-
ginning this fall. With a dedi-
cated man like Dr. Faut at its
helm, it is virtually assured of
success.
One can well imagine that
great things will be heard about
Owen Faut for years to come,
and wouldn’t it be wonderful if
he were granted ‘‘a hundred
extra years to learn and to do.”

attempted theft
An attempted robbery at the
Back Mountain Sporting Goods
Store on the Memorial Highway
is being investigated by Dallas
Township Police. It is reported
that a “Dr. Pepper” soda
machine was pried open late
Sunday night or early Monday
morning in an attempt to get
money from the machine.
The attempted burglary was
discovered by owner Bob
Maharty’s son at 7:30 Monday
morning when he came to open
up the store for the day. He
summoned Chief Frank Lange,
Dallas Township Police, who is
investigating the incident.
The robbery was unsuccessful
because an employee had re-
“moved all the money from the
soda machine before closing the
store for the weekend. It is re-
ported that there is damage to
the door of the machine which
stands outside the building
along with an ice machine.
The 4-H emblem—HEAD,
HEART, HANDS, HEALTH— is
synonymous with responsible,
capable, achievement-minded
youths.
