D. Hutchison, agent of Luzerne Co. Agricultural Extension Association declared yesterday. The statement of the county agricultural agent is prompted by the fact.that several municipalities have made the attempt to prevent the sale of produce, unless the' farmer had a license. Act 258, Pennsylvania, is quoted by County Agent Hutchison as follows: “It shall be unlawful for any borough or city of this Commonwealth to levy or collect any money or tax as a li- cense fee, from any farmer, who sells his own products in or about the dif- ferent streets of any borough or city of this Commonwealth.” In a number of instances, Mr. Hutchinson says, farmers were Te- quested to obtain a local peddler’s li- cense or be prohibited from dispens« ing their products within the corpor- ate boundaries of the municipality. If a farmer collects products from his neighbor and then disposes of them by peddling from house to house, he is recognized legally as a peddler or huckster and must obtain a license, but if he is selling his own products that is not necessary. : St. Therese's Folk Plan Card Party © For January 30th —0i— A pre-Lenten card party and dance will be held in Cinderella ballroom on Wednesday evening, January 30, by members of St. Therese’s parish, at Shavertown.
