Irem Temple :
Prepares for
Unusual Activity
—:0:i—
Immediate events of a social na-
ture before members of Irem Temple
include a Washington’s = Birthday
dance at the Temple on February 21.
This will be for Shriners and their
families, and will consist of dancing
from 9:00 to 12:00 with light refresh-
ments during the evening. A similar
affair will be held on Monday even-
ing, March 18.
On Monday, April 1, the season at
the Country Club will be inaugurated
by a dinner dance for Shriners and
their families.
Bl
set up back
The opening of spring will witness
certain improvements at the Country
~ Club, one of them being the installa-
tion of a swimming pool with bath
houses, showers and equipment, the
gift of F. J. Weckesser, and at the
same time a parade ground for cere-
monials will be placed and the work
done in such a way that the space
can be used for three up-to-date ten-
nis courts. It is also hoped that min-
or sports, such as quoits, croquet,
shuffle board and a bowling green can
all be arranged for, so as to provide
entertainment and amusement for
those who do not wish to indulge in
golf or tennis.
The trustees have authorized a de-
velopment engineer to look into the
matter of building sites at the Coun-
try Club, which can be purchased by
members of the Temple, as there are
quite a number of most excellently
located sites acquired when the prop-
erty was purchased that cannot be
used for any of the activities of the
Temple, and which might as well
bring in a substantial revenue.
With the improvement of the road
which is now being constructed from
Luzerne to Trucksville, it is anticipat-
ed that there will be a year of much
activity, and it is the aim and desire
of the Country Club Committee to
' eradicate the idea that the property
is primarily a golf club, and bend
their energies to providing some sort
of entertainment for all the rhember-
ship.
It is hoped during the coming seas-
on that a dinner dance can be held
at the Country Club each Saturday
evening, and if successful, this can be
extended to include other evenings,
and that Sunday evenings chamber
“music by guest artists can be provid-
ed by the large number of skillful
musicians and accomplished singers
that are to be found in the member-
ship and their families.
Dallas Bank |
To Charge Fee On
Check Accounts
110 =
The local bank has joined a large .
number of other banking institutions
in requiring a fee of fifty cents per
month on all checks accounts which
fall short of one hundred dollars.
Due to the great amount of time and
labor consumed this seems but reas-
onable and fair.
The local bank has probably prov-
ed a greater convenience to our
people than any other institution ever
of the mountain and
banks must have just and proper re-
muneration for their services, the
same as other enterprises.

Council Warns
Property-Holders
About Sidewalks
—0i—
At a meeting of council recently,
the chief of police was instructed to
notify property holders of town who
are negligent or thoughtless about
their icy sidewalks that the ordi-
nance providing for the cleaning of
The
ordinance provides that all occupants
of property abutting on streets where
sidewalks are laid or required must
keep such walks free from ,ice and
SNOW.
Property owners are t sifie big
chances through their negligence in
this matter. About a year ago a
young lady fell on an icy sidewalk]
and the owner of the property was
lucky to settle without much cost for
the fortunately slight injury of the
young lady.
The fact that the borough is pro-
tected from possible damage suits in
maintaining such an ordinance does
not release public officers from a mor-
al responsibility for the safety of
pedestrians; hence the interest shown
by the councilmen. ;
State Saving
\
—:0i—
Annual savings of at least $70,000
are predicted by officials of the State
‘Highway Department through inaug-
uration next year of a new system of
licensing automobiles. Instead of
having long numbers, when licenses
get up in the “millions” twenty let-
ters of the alphabet will be used to
denote thousand series.
The largest numbered tag will be
99,999. Smaller tags, with fewer nu-
merals, will reduce the cost of man-
ufacture and shipping.

feasibility of purchasing the prop-
erties. A
Information concerning thé sur-
veys became known Wednesday, and]
though the identity of the second firm
was not divulged, Henry Sippel,
president of Dallas Water Co. and
Shavertown Water Co. said the sec-
ond firm’s investigation had not been
completed. : :
Though investigations have been
conducted by two sources, Mr. Sip-
pel said Wednesday night that no def-
inite negotiations toward purchase
had been started, that he had estab-
lished a sale figure and had not re-
ceived an offer from either of the two
firms reported to be interested in the
properties.

that representatives of the Federal

ords of the two firms. If the prop-

essary. ;
Dallas Water Co. and Shavertown

the largest tank having a capacity of
100,000 gallons.

HERE AND THERE
- ABOUT TOWN
ent)? ee
Here and there about town, and in
the Sunday papers one hears whis-'
pers of politics, especially local. Of
course the snow that we have had this
week kinda put the damper on some,
as summer is not here, but it provides
a source of friendly discussion.
School Director
Many comments have been heard
on the school situation. ;
Frank Morris does not wish to as-
pire again as a candidate, but his
many friends are insisting that he
again be a candidate.
Jim Besecker, methinks would run
for school director provided Professor
is not a candidate. 2
Tom Higgins has also been men-
tioned as a good candidate.
Doctor Swartz, although very busy
with his medical profession would
make a very good director. Also Dr.
Fleming. It is hardly thought pos-
sibly that either of these two men
will permit their names to be present-
ed as a candidate.
Council
The terms of Stevens, Garrahan
and Eipper expire this coming year
land several names have been men-
tioned for the office. Besides the
names of the three retiring, Burgess
Harry Anderson, James Stem, of Dal-
las Heights, James Franklin, J. F.
Besecker, Elmer Rainey, have all been
mentioned for the office.
Jim Oliver has been prevailed upon
| to run but has turned thumbs down
| to the proposition. Jim would easily
be one of the winners, but prefers to
tend to his large growing automobile
and accessory business.
Burgess Aspirants Very Few
There seems to be a bugaboo about
the office of burgess. Burgess Ander-
son, who has given a great deal of
his time to this office, and has never
been emply compensated by any
means, declines positively to run
again. It has been a hard job for
the people of Dallas to get a person
to accept this office as the compensa-
tion is practically nothing and one
has to be the peacemaker for the
whole town, and receive the brunts of
the complaints. There are a few men
in town who could handle the job if
they would accept same but do not
feel like giving the time to it. How-
ever, some names have been suggest-
ed to the writer. Harold Rood, sec-
retary of the borough council would
accept the position, but it is felt that
his friends on the council would not
want him to leave. He is very cap-
ably handling the secretaryship and
in view of the past unpleasantness
which the members went through to
insist on him being secretary do not |
desire a change,

Junior Order
To Admit 1,000
New Members
—0i—
More than 1,000 candidates will be
received in to ranks of the Junior
Order ‘of United American Mechanics
at a big ceremony to be held next
Tuesday night in Irem Temple.
Every council in the county, as well
as those in Wyoming and Bradford
Counties, will be represented among
the candidates.
The campaign for new members
has been a spirited one since its in-
ception, with Wilkes-Barre Council
of this city well in the lead. Snyder
Council of Courtdale is second. Other
leaders are Henderson-Gaylord, Ply-
mouth, third; Hanover, fourth; and
Luzerne, fifth. Within the last few
days, Snyder Council jumped from
fifth to second place. A
Initiatory ceremonials will be
graced by presence of entire board of
State officers, who will arrive in
Wilkes-Barre early Tuesday. De-
gree work will be exemplified by
members of Henderson-Gaylord Coun-
cil team, one of the best in' the tri-
county. district. On Monday night
representatives of the tri-county
councils will meet in headquarters: of
Wilkes-Barre Council on South Main
Street when final plans will be per-
fected.
Tonight many members from Luz-
erne County will attend the dinner in
Hotel Jermyn, Scranton at which
Lieut. Governor Arthur H. James will
be the principle speaker. Scranton
councils will initiate a large class in
town hall on Monday night.
George Washington
Had Two Birthdays
George Washington was born on
February 11, according to the calen-
dar in use in 1732, but about twenty
years later the “new style” calendar
was adopted in England and her col-
onies. This change made in the cal-
endar in 1752 affected Washington’s
birthday and changed it to what it
would have been had the new cal-
endar been in use when he was born.
In 1752, when the change came
about, September of that year had on-
ly nineteen days in England and the
British colonies in America, and this!
advanced the date in February eleven
days.
Councilman Eipper.
If his health permitted our con-
genial druggist would be 4 good chief
executive of the town and would
handle the job right.
Auditor
Several names have been mentioned
for auditor, there being two vacancies.
Any of which would fill the bill.
Miscellaneous ’
We are glad to see the Chief on
the job with his motorcycle. As long
as the borough owns one why it
should be on the road. The Chief
can cover more ground.
whether or not he accepted our sug-
gestion about giving the various
streets of the town a little patroling
each night instead of all on the Main
Street.. We, however, excuse him for
not going about much the last few
days. (Some snow).
While one is thinking of some good
material for our next council, let’s not
overlook our friend George Gaertner.
He would make a good one.
Dallas has some fine old residents
who have served the town well, but
some new blood now and then helps
keep the strain up.

Some Interesting ri
Facts About Our
Local Girl Scouts
—0i—
The local Girl Scouts, members of =
Troop No. 7, have been very much in
the public eye during the past sever-
al months and a number of questions
have been asked by local people as to
just who are the Girl Scouts and what
is girl scouting. - ;
The Girl Scouts are a national as-
sociation’ and is non- -sectarian and
non-partisan.
Any girl over ten years of age, LI
voluntarily accepts the promise and }
laws, may become a Girl Scout and
become affiliated with the local
troop, which is a member of the Wyo-
ming Valley Council, an agency of
the Community Welfare Federation.
The activities of the Girl Scouts
have four main parts: Home, health,
nature and citizenship. They pro-
vide incentives for practicing wom-
an’s world-old arts by requiring a
working knowledge in cooking, house-
keeping, first aid and the rules of
healthful living for any Girl Scout
passing beyond tenderfoot work. ‘The :
Girl Scouts award for passing tests
is a small embroidered emblem which
a girl must earn. = There are more
than forty of these merit badges of
which more than one-fourth directly
relate to the woman in her /home,
either as mother, nurse or home-
maker.
Girl Scouting is a game for many in
girls to play together. Scouteraft is
taught by means of games, which the
girls play for one’s side and never
for one’s self. Girl Scouts learn
this game by doing, not being told),
how and they assist each other in.
