Effective Tuesday, December 5 The price of haircuts in the Back Mountain Area will be increased to 75¢. We know that our patrons will: appreci- ate the circumstances which have made this increase necessary. BACK MOUNTAIN BARBERS How times have changed This advertisement from the Dec. 1, 1950 issue of The Dallas Post illustrates the effect of inflation, at least on the price of haircuts. A i Land trust (continued from page 1) property deed at the courthouse. If the land is ever sold it still must remain intact as the easement specifies. The Land Trust moni- tors the property annually to check for violations, thus ensuring that the condition of the land at the time of the easement remains unchanged, barring any natural or weather-related disasters. Ayers, who also serves as vice president for the organization, is glad he donated the easement and has every confidence his land will remain virtually untouched. “I feel relieved that it will look this way forever and not like other areas in surrounding counties,” explained Ayers, who makes the point that donating an easement is easy and flexible. “It's not difficult at all. The Land Trust does all the work and you can design the easement any way you want. It's very flexible,” he said. Some might initially see the Land Trust as anti-development. Ayers said that it is not opposed to development, but is opposed to unplanned “sprawling.” “Development should not be able to take place anywhere and everywhere,” he said. “We have finite resources on this planet. We should realize how limited this planet is. We need to be sensible and figure out what areas should be developed and what should not, for many reasons.” Ayers grew up in the Back Mountain and went to school in southeastern PA. “In the south- east [watched two beautiful coun- ties, Chester and Lancaster, get overrun with unrestrained devel- opment,” recalled Ayers. “It was upsetting. I saw it was happening here in Dallas too and I was very concerned.” He bases his beliefs not only on his personal experience of watch- ing valuable lands be developed, but on facts. Approximately one million acres of farmland a year is lost to suburbinization in the United States. Since the mid-50s suburbanization as been a con- stant. Since that time one sev- enth of Pennsylvania's land has been developed into suburbs, Ayers said. Richard Macilytous of the Na- tional Conservation Department said an estimated 500 to 600 acres of non-intensely farmed areas are developed a year in Luzerne County. Although the statistics for intensely farmed areas were not available, Macilytous said the numbers are most likely compa- rable. He points out how many people build right in the middle of a 10 or 15-acre field and essen- tially take the field out of opera- 4 t } f tion. "It's equivalent to the whole field being developed,” said Macilytous who agrees with the Land Trust's mission. “I think they're doing a good job. People need to think of what and where they want to live,” he said. * F A Development is inevitable with a growing population, desire to get further away from highly popu- lated areas and the profit avail- able to developers. The Land Trust understands these factors, but sees options for smarter building instead of aimless sprawl. “We're not about stepping on the land- owners. We just want them to develop safely and create conser- vation development and design,” said Linda Thoma, trust admigh trator. Locally there are no public or- ganizations of this kind. The cost is too great to maintain such ‘a group. “The Back Mountain his- torically has been all farms, but lately it has become a desirable place to live. There is no one to advocate the preservation of open space. In the absence of a state park, there is no other mecha- nism privately operated except the Land Trust. What's exciting is that the trust doesn’t require pub- lic policy,” explained Will Conyngham, trust president. “We can do tremendous things be- tween the Land Trust and the generosity of private landowners,” The Land Trust and other orga- nizations are sponsoring an up- coming dinner and slide show dis- cussing the principal techniques for conserving natural lands. “An Evening with Randall Arendt-Cre- ating Open Space Networks,” will be held on March 21 at Genetti Hotel and Convention Center, in Wilkes-Barre. - Mr. Arendt is-a representative from Natural Lands Trust, Inc. “x The organization is always in need of volunteers for everything, from filing to legal matters and natural resources.
