Make this
Halloween
a safe one
It’s not too early fo lay plans for
aking Halloween a safe, but excit-
g evening, according to Pat Hig-
gins, Safety Director, Valley Auto-
anobile Club; AAA.
Halloween is a night for fun. It
‘has a special appeal for children
who look forward to making the
rounds of homes in their neighbor-
hoods, as well as carving pumpkin
faces with a candle inside for
window display.
Older youngsters may be.planning
parties at school or church. Some
too — at a lodge, dinner club or
social center.
As parents, we must be especially
concerned in preparing for Hallow-
een. We don’t want our kids to be
disappointed, and we don’t want
them to get hurt.
Boys and girls like to dress up in
costumes for an occasion like Hal-
loween. Some will be in white garb,
looking like angels or ghosts. White
will stand out, making it easier for
drivers to see children.
Others will want to dress up like a
visitor from another planet. Some
will prefer dark costumes imagining
themselves to be Zorro or the
eil. Many kids like to don masks
OX wear crazy-looking hats. If dark
clohting is used for a costume, a
good safety feature to add is reflec-
torized tape o nteh front, back and
sides. Such tape might also be
added to hats.
If a child wants a mask to hide his
identity, or portray a monster
image, the slits for his eyes to see
through should be large enough to
permit good vision. :
Children should roam about in
small groups, so they can share
their excitement and be more read-
ily visible to drivers when crossing
streets.
The Valley Automobile Club
reminds parents to repeat basic
pedestrian safety rules. Cross only
using crosswalks, at
traffic signals and very impor-
tantly, don’t run between parked
cards or into traffic. Householders
can also help by providing adequate
lighting on porches and sidewalks,
where possible.
Here are a few more safety tips
for youngsters from your local AAA.
ve a parent, older brother or
ter go trick-or-treating with you;
if someone older can’t go, trick-or-
treat with a group; plan your route
on which streets you will be trick-
or-treating; wait until you get home
to sort, check and eat your treats.
Help your youngsters and the
neighbor kids to enjoy the last night
of October without anyone being
harmed. Let’s have a safe Hallow-
een.
Name corrected
In the October 17 issue of The
Dallas Post, it was incorrectly
reported that the Calgary Baptist
Church had purchased the Back
Mountain Library. The actual
name of the church is the Cal-
ary Baptjst Church.

meeting of the county committee.
The organization of the Daddow-

Teall, Dungey and Garinger. were
named to a committee to apply for
the charter.
During that year of its organiza-
tion, the new American Legion Post
held a contest for a name fo be
given to the organization. Although
records do not show who and when
the name was selected, it is known
that before the first anniversary of
the Dallas Legion, the name
selected was Daddow-Isaacs.
Daddow-Isaacs was selected in
memory of Lloyd Daddow, who died
of pneumonia while “in: the armed
service, and Gomer Isaacs, also a
veteran and son of Wesley Dadow.
From April through Sepfember,
the Legionnaires participated in
numerous community activities: as
well as conducting a strong recruit-
ment program. In September of
1935, members met Wednesday,
Sept. 25, and re-elected Arthur
Brown as commander. Other. offi-
cers elected were Homer Teall, first
vice-commander; Paul Shaver,
second vice commander; Charles
Stookey, adjutant; Arthur Dungey,
finance officer; and Donald Frantz,
chaplain.
In December of that year, Legion
members agreed to assist in secur-
ing enlistments for the U.S. Army
for assignments in Panama and
Hawaii.

have joined the new Post late in
1935, it is known that among the
original 24 charter membes were

Thomas G. Reese, Clare Winters,
Harold Titman, John Blackman,

members, Clyde Veitch and Thomas
Reese are the only two living. :
During the years from 1935 to the
conclusion of World War II, mem-
bers of the organization in Arthur
Brown’s Hardware Store, Dallas
Dallas Centre Hardware is now
located. .
In 1946, at the conclusion of the
war, Frank Ferry, three times Com=
mander of the Legion, played a key
role in securing the Wallo property
on Huntsville Road, Dallas, as a
permanent home for the Daddow-
Isaacs Post.
The building had been an Inn
prior to the Legion purchasing it.
The Legionnaires kept it intact with
a diningroom, kitchen, rest rooms, a
large meeting room, and upstairs,
an apartment for their manager and
his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Lamoreaux.
The Legion members held their
meetings and other events at the
Post Home on Huntsville Road until
July 14, 1954, when it was totally
destroyed by fire. The blaze was
discovered about noon that day by.
Leonard Wennlund, who saw a large
billow of black smoke and immedi-
could not save the $40,000 property.
Ferry, who was then serving on
head the drive to build a new Post
home, which is the one now located
at the corners of Center Hill Road
and Memorial Highway in Dallas.
Wardan Kunkle had donated the
lots where the building now stands
and with the assistance of Joseph
and Bill Wallo, the new building was
soon under construction and the
Legionnaires moved into their new
home in 1956.
In 1958, members of the Daddow-
Isaacs American Legion initiated
the first Americanism Night, an
affair at which an award was
presented to the person voted ‘‘Out-
standing Citizen for Distinguished
Service.” The Legion held this event
for a number of years until it
became so popular that it was taken
over by several Back Mountain
Service Clubs. Several years ago,
however, the event was discontin-
ued due to lack of interest.
On Mary 11, 1960, Daddow-Isaacs
Post observed its 25th anniversary
with a special dinner and program
at the Legion Home. Atty. William
T. Malone, Scranton, Department
Commander of the American Legion
