The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, February 28, 2001 5 Only Yesterday (continued from page 4) was a weekend visitor in the Chase home of Mr. and Mrs. Don Bennett. Editor Margaret McMahon, took the opportunity while in the area to tour a furni- ture plant in Wilkes-Barre, the Newberry Estate, Dallas; and at least one private home. Mr. Ben- nett, who is vice president in charge of advertising of Craft Associates, was Miss McMa- hon’s guide. Robert W. Brown of Hickory Rd., Dallas, has announced his candidacy for council member of Dallas Borough Council. Mr. Brown, vice president and cashier at The Plymouth Nation- al Bank in Plymouth served as secretary of Dallas Borough council for 10 years. He was ap- pointed mayor of Dallas follow- ing the death of Mayor Thomas Morgan, and served in that ca- pacity for little more than one year. 20 Years Ago - Feb. 25, 1981 DALLAS DISTRICT WILL SUR- VEY STUDENTS The Dallas School Board may have killed a controversial questionnaire, but it’s likely that students in the district will still be surveyed on their ideas about the food service. That question- naire followed a brief boycott of cafeteria lunches by students in the senior high school, and complaints by parents that food being trucked in to the elemen- tary schools was cold and unap- petizing. The “cafeteria crisis” has apparently eased somewhat, at least in the senior high school, apart from any action by the school board or the Parents Advisory Committee. “They've improved the food,” said Judy Loke, student council president, of a trial period accepted by the student body. The competition for a seat on the Dallas School Board grows keener with the addition of a Dallas Township supermar- ket manager and a Shavertown businessman the latest entries. Circulating petitions of election is Weis grocery store manager Thomas Mertz of New Goss Manor. Also announcing he is circulating petitions for election is Joseph J. Bren, Jr., Shaver- town. Bren is vice-president of the appliance and TV division of Power Electric Supply Co. of Ha- zleton. The Lake-Lehman school district is participating in a measles audit being conducted by the department of health. A new Pennsylvania state law has been passed, in case of a measles outbreak, all students who have not been immunized, will be excluded from school un- til immunization has been car- Tied out.
