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.

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.

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. For more in-
formation on the dinner, volun--
