POST PHOTOS/KYLIE SHAFFERKOETTER / ONLY YESTERDAY 60 Years Ago - Nov. 26, 1937 A STRONG GALE HITS DALLAS HARD A gale reminiscent of the furi- ‘ous windstorm which hit Dallas last July ripped through Beau- .mont section Sunday shaking buildings, toppling trees, and tear- “ing shinges from the rooftops. At the home of Emery Straley at Beaumont, the tempest blew down five large trees, one of which landed ‘on an automobile owned by M.D. ‘Ryman, parked in the driveway. Ryman compared the storm to the twisters he experienced while liv- ing in Oklahoma. Observance of the 118th anni- versary of the Northmoreland So- ciety, one of the earliest religious groups in this section, reached its climax this week as former pas- tors and members returned to the Centermoreland M.E. Church to participate in special services. Born in a day when much of this section was still wilderness and ‘when circuit riders rode dreary ‘and dangerous miles to preach their message, the little church has played a great part in the ‘development of the Centermoreland section. 50 Years Ago - Dec. 5, 1947 DALLAS BORO BUSINESS ASSOCIATION MEETS As the first step in an effort to further develop Dallas and the Back Mountain area as a shop- ping center, 27 Dallas business- men met Monday at First Na- tional Bank and discussed the organization of Dallas Borough Businessmen’s Assn.

The Dallas Post’s 20 ton news- paper press will have a firm foun- dation when it arrives shortly af- ter the beginning of the new year for erection in the new 30 x 30 foot, two story addition now being constructed at the rear of the present Post plant on Lehman Ave. Growth of The Post's circula- tion within recent years necessi- tates installation of a faster and larger press which will permit an increase in the number of col- umns to the page and will print and fold in one hour what now requires a full day on present equipment. The congregation of the Church of Prince of Peace will gather for dedication of the new addition to the Parish House Sunday follow- ing the 11 a.m. service. Addition meets the need for additional space for the Church School which has outgrown the available facili- ties.

Kitchen has been en- larged to provide better facilities for the increased needs of the Parish. 30 Years Ago - Dec. 7, 1967 DALLAS FIRE CO. GETS NEW FIRE TRUCK PUMPER Dr. Henry M.
