MORE OBITUARIES, PG. 12 A closer look at the largest Dallas Continuing with the 10 Dallases, this week we look at Dallas, Texas. You already know Dallas, Texas is a very large city, but did you know the town has only one daily newspaper? You probably know Dallas is located in northern Texas, but did you know the present day location was chosen by mistake? You already know it is the city where John F. Kennedy was as- sassinated but did you know the only theater in the world built to the design of famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright is the Dallas Theatre Center. ; With a population of over one million, being consistent with the Texas reputation, Dallas is by far the largest of the cities that share its name. In 1841 John Bryan built a cabin on the bank of the Trinity River. He chose that site which is today Texas because he thought the river was navigable for trade all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. He was mistaken and had to settle for ferrying people across the river. The site soon became a very small town and took the name of the then vice-president of the United States, George Mifflin, Dallas. Dallas was incorporated as a city in 1856. The railroad and cotton fed the town's growth at first, then insurance and oil. Dallas is what it is today because of the 1930 oil strike in east Texas. Many Dallas citizens became millionaires and the commu- nity became more affluent. Next week, a look at another Dallas.

DOVE Post Staff A group of Harveys Lake resi- dents is considering forming a Neighborhood Crime Watch pro- gram, according to mayor Rick Boice. The idea was suggested by the advisory council to the mayor which Boice set up when he was elected in 1993. “We have between 10 and 12 people interested so far,” he said. “We'd really like to see more people from different sections of the borough become involved. Har- veys Lake isn't a high-crime area, but occasionally someone breaks into empty summer cottages.” The borough has only one or two police officers manning each shift and covering 27 miles of borough roads, he said. Under the Neighborhood Watch program, observant citizens or- ganize to report any strange per- ieee” “We'd really like to’ see more people from different sections of the borough become involved.” :.
