New Judge of Luzerne County To
Take Oath of Office Next Monday
Luzerne County bench and bar free-
ly voted approval Thursday of Gov-,
ernor Fisher’s appointment of Attor-
ney William Alfred Valentine to the |
vacancy on the Luzerne County Com-
mon Pleas bench.
sent the nomination to the State Sen-
ate Wednesday morning. It was
promptly. referred to the committee
on executive nominations, was as
propmtly reported out favorably ‘and
voted upon immediately winning uns
animous vote in the Senate.
The appointee will take his oath as
judge probably next Monday morning
in the presence of the court in banc,
with President Judge W. S. McLean
administering the oath and Elias Co-
hen, clerk to the judges, reading the
commission.
Appointment of Attorney Valentine
Governor Fisher |
is for the remainder of 1929. In No-|
vember a judge will be elected for a’
In line with expectations,
| regardless of who the appointee!
| might have been, Mr. Valentine, as|
| the appointee, will be a candidate to!
succeed himself. He immediately re- |
moved all possible doubt on that score |
by appending to his initial statement |
| the announcement “I shall seek the
_ | nomination for a full term at the ap- |
| proaching primary election.
With all the politics that seemed
[to be associated with the appointment |
| of the new judge it is remarkable that |
| marks. Mr. Valentine has not been
associated with the State admiinstra-
| tion group in politics. His selection
[is regarded as a tribute to legal merit
|and a, solution of the judgship delem-
| na by | the appointment of one who was
| vitally unopposed.
| - Nevertheless the appointment is the
| result of a recommendation by State
| administration ' leaders in Luzerne
{County and is ‘acceptable to all of]
them. Strangely enough, as politics
go, the appointment is equally pleas-
|ing to the Old Guard leaders who have
been opposed to the State administra-
tion leaders in recent campaigns.
The new judge was born in Coates-
ville, Pa., on December 23, 1879, the
son of William A. and Emma Cave
Valentine, and received his early edu-
cation in the Coatesville schools,
graduating from Dickinson ' Law
School in 1907.
his graduation from Dickinson, Mr.
Valentine came to Wilkes-Barre and
was admitted to practice before the
Luzerne County bar.
Since his admission to practice, Mr.
Valentine has been a participant in
many important pieces of litigation.
As representative of Lehigh & Wilkes-
Barre Coal Co. he aided in the prose-
cution of the. first set of Hanover
school directors tried for graft. He
also was retained by the county as
special counsel to combat the coal as-
sessments disputed by the various coal !
companies and also represents the
county in the move to have West Mar-
| ket Street bridge completed accord-
ing to the original specifications.
In addition to a brilliant record of
service, Mr. Valentine has contributed
toward the legal profession two im-
portant volumes — “Subordinate
Courts of Pennsylvania” and “Liquor
Laws of Pennsylvania.” He also has
served as counsel for a number of|
large corporations.
When the commission arrives ‘he
| will likely take the oath of office be-| s
fore President Judge William S. Me-
Lean, and although no formal pro-
| gram has been arranged, it is likely
{that all the judges will be on the
| bench
and a large company of law-
vers present in the court room to wel-
come him when the oath is adminis-
tered.

The congregation of St. Therese’s
Church, Shavertown, will conduct a

The hearty co-operation of the par-
ishioners and friends of this strug-
gling congregation aims to make this
‘social an outstanding one of the year.

by St. Therese’s people. The door
prize will be something of rare beau- |!
.| ty, the gift of Mrs. Alfred E. Smith,
the charming wife of New York’s il-
lustrious ex-Governor. The financial
success of this social will help im-

curred in erecting a new church and
rectory, and assures every .one who
attends a very enjoyable evening. The
music will be the best obtainable in
