Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, February 14, 2001 5 Only yesterday (continued from page 4) the leading high school foul shooters of the area. The Church League will play two games. The League has been divided into two sections-the East composed of Shavertown Methodist, St. Paul's, St. Therese’s.; and Trucksville Methodist and the West composed of Dallas Methodist, Prince of Peace, Or- ange Methodist and Mt. Zion. ® Don Clark, league president, has also announced that the league hopes to obtain majorettes from the local high schools to enter- tain during the intermissions. Attendance at Boy Scout Troop 281 Dallas, is showing a phenomenal increase, with 26 boys present on Monday evening. So many new boys have @ joined the troop lately that a fourth patrol has been formed. Committeemen wish to extend thanks to Lawrence Updyke, Dallas Hardware Store, for his cooperation in giving the use of his display window for a Boy Scout exhibit during National Boy Scout Week. In spite of zero temperatures Thursday night, nearly 80 peo- ple attended the first meeting of the Adult Recreation course at ~ Kingston Township High School. Ceramics class drew the largest enrollment with 35 registered. Sewing class had 15 registrants. Shop Class and Sewing Class ran neck and neck. Registrants were noted from Lehman and Kingston, as well as Dallas, Shavertown and Trucksville. 40 Years Ago - Feb. 16, 1961 HOLSTEIN HERD UNHARMED WHEN ROOF CAVES IN : Awakened by a commotion from their herd of 25 Holstein cattle Wednesday morning at 2, Mr. and Mrs. C.R. Prutzman, Hillside Road, Huntsville, were astonished to discover that their barn roof had collapsed, causing damage to the extent of $5,000. A The cattle, sheltered beneath the main floor of the barn, were un- harmed. A hay elevator on the first floor was demolished. A truck in an adjacent part of the main floor suffered only minor damage. It wasn’t zero in the Back Mountain Shopping Center parking lot, when the Boy Scouts and Explorer Scouts of Troop 232 pitched four tents on the blacktop, but it was wet from melting snow following a sudden thaw that lowered the shovelled drifts along the perimeter. The day started early, as many shop- pers paused to ask questions. The most frequent was “Did you get wet last night, and if you did- n't, how did you keep out the water”? The answer to that was simple. It froze again during the night and the drifts stopped melting. The Boy Scouts only complaint was that it was too warm. This troop has camped in blizzards and in zero weather. James W. Coates, Goss Manor, retired State Trooper, has been named Exclusive Fran- chise Dealer for this area by New Deal Lifetime Homes, with main offices in Blackwood, New Jer- sey. Mr. Coates, now retired, was a member of the State Troopers for 16 years, and a res- ident of the Back Mountain since 1939. 30 Years Ago - Feb. 18, 1971 WEEKEND FREEZE CAUSES FLOODING Ice chunks and waters from swollen Bowman's Creek over- flowed onto Rt. 29, Noxen, Sat- urday at noon. Homes in the nearby vicinity of the creek were surrounded by ice and water. Mrs. Traver said that both her family residence and the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Schooley were affected. The Traver family was safe inside their house as long as the water did not rise higher. However, Mr. Traver de- cided they had better be evacu- ated. At about 9:30 p.m. he and Tom Sace and Terry Shook made two trips out, carrying the chil- dren on their shoulders. It was reported that 11 homes in the Noxen area were damaged by the water and ice. Four Back Mountain girls, all students at Wyoming Seminary, will be among those participat- ing in the school’s pilot program of European study. They are: Holly Dietterick, daughter of Mrs. O. L. Cummins, Dallas; Sandra Kabeschat, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Kabeschat, Dallas; Bonnie Ka- narr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Kanarr, Shavertown; and Debra Koehl, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. Warren Koehl Jr., Dallas. The school is embarking on the foreign study program to determine the possibilities of de- veloping a more widely diversi- fied field of opportunities for stu- dents.

Mr. Grimm, a resi- dent of Applewood Manor, Dal- las, served two years in the Army Signal Corps before joining Commonwealth in 1954. He and his wife, Joan, and daughter, Donita, will make their home in Towanda in the near future. 20 Years Ago - Feb. 11, 1981 CITIZEN WATCH PROGRAM NEARS REALITY The first “Neighborhood Watch” program in the Back Mountain will become a reality if Mayor Alvin Zim of Harveys Lake has his way. “It's an ideal thing for the lake” said Mayor Zim. Major facets of the program in- volve having citizens responsible for watching their own neighbor- hoods for suspicious people or cars, keep checking neighbors’ homes when no one is around, and keeping an eye out for any questionable activity that might mean breakins or vandalisms. During the annual observance of Scout Sunday at the Dallas United Methodist Church, scouts and -scouters of Troop 281 presented an American Flag to the church as a token of their appreciation for the church's sponsorship. The Dallas United Methodist Church has been the sponsor of this troop for well over 50 years. A couple of years ago, local dealers in fuel oil and gasoline were ready to hazard guesses about where the price rise in oil products was headed or where it would level off. But since the $1.00 per gallon “barrier” was broken and left behind, that confidence seems to have erod- ed. With gasoline prices general- ly topping $1.30 per gallon and ranging up as high now as $1.40 and more, service station opera- tors could only say that they foresaw no end in sight.
