Six clubs have taken out their fran- chise and each club has added enough strength to assure them a crack at the pennant, at least all managers are more than confident. What a league this should be. Noxen had their rep- resentative at the meeting but refus- ed to go along with a local club, there- by withdrawing their franchise. Shav- ertown was not represented and while they presented a roster for inspection the managers could not see where their interest in the league should ~ warrant a franchise and therefore voted to return the guarantee held by the league from last season. This leaves Beaumont, East Dallas, West Wyoming, Dallas, Roaring Brook and Hunlock’s Creek as a six-team league and gives the boys a fine circuit to travel each Saturday afternoon. As the base ball fever ran high the boys decided to open the season April 28th, two weeks earlier than last seas- on, which will allow for a three game series in the eliminations and a three- game series in the play-off for the pennant. A large delegation of live- wire fans attended the meeting as well as several ball players who were - free to sign with any club in the cir- cuit, prominent among them being: Doc Traver, Chet Culbert and Pinkey Swingle, all first-class pitchers. Bob MacDougle, one of the most active members of the league will arrange a schedule for the boys to be present- ed at the next meeting and then everything will be set for the umpire to call play ball, the word the boys are all looking forward too. Follow- ing are the club rosters as passed by the Board of Managers and made elig- ible: . Dallas—Ray, Stitzer, Reese, Wool- bert, Besecker, Evans, Lasco, Wm. La- Bar, Learn, Reigles, Geo.

The banquet was the second annual af- fair of success. The menus, favors and games car- ried out the nature parts of Girl Scouting and were the ideas of Mrs. J. P. Wilson and the members of the Troop No. 9. During the banquet those in attendance were well enter- tained by Rev. Harry Henry who rep- resented the Dallas Kiwanis Club and the singing was very efficient, being lead by Thomas Higgins of the Ro- tary Club. Speakers of the eveing included Mrs. Edward Conrad who gave a most inspiring talk on the benefits derived from attendance at the local Girl Scout Camp Onawan- dah; Mr. R. Space gave the “Fathers Viewpoint on Girl Scouting” and the teachers views were very well shown by Professor R. J. Templin. Mrs. A. S. Culbert, district chair- man of the Dallas district, gave the address of welcome and her very in- teresting talk included the “Aims and Ideals of Girl Scouting,” also the pro- gress of the Dallas troops. - Following the banquet supper a playlet entitled “The Girl Magic,” wags presented by Doris Rob- erts, Deborah Jeter, | meister and Lillian Spencer, after | which a number of girls were invest-| taught by the high school faculty ed by the captain of the Troop, Mrs. J.

In the event it is printed, it must be done without any expense to the school district or the undersigned. On account of the numerous letters published by Mr. Morris during the past year, this complete reply is nec- essarily long, as heretofore the other directors have been too busy improv- ing the schools to be able to make public reply to the several letters. The school operating and building problem in Dallas Borough is not a fanciful creation of any of the pres- ent or past directors, but is caused by the increased enrollment in ‘the schools as shown by the following table, 1922-23, selected at random, be- ing used for comparison with the present school year. : 3 Enrollment—1922 1928 38 34 26 28 35 23 29 14 227 Teachers 6% Av. pupils per teacher 36 | NOTE: —Grades 7 and 8 are being Grade 1 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6 Grade 7 ...

To dry out the new building the fires were burned practically 50 per cent or more longer each day during the month of February than usual. Also none of the main or feed pipes were at that time covered which . § : 4 made an immense waste of heat as oo far as the rooms were concerned, al- though this helped to dry the build- February and March, although ing. somewhat mild this year, are the worst months of the year when it comes to heating.

The additional electrical expense re- ferred to by Mr. Morris is by ino means unusual but is the normal con- dition. Section 621 of the school code requires that there shall be run into the rooms at least 30 cubic feet of fresh air per minute per pupil. To do this it is necéssary to run the fan which was installed for this purpose and has absolutely no other use. The shutting off of the fan to save elec- trical bills is a plain violation of a mandatory provision of the law, and {a violation of all dictates of common sense as the health of the children re- quires that a large number seated in one place for three hours at a tim J ; nd | Himmler, Martha Ruff, Catherine | teacher is now actually teaching more | must have ventilation.

The great- est number of offenders seem to be those who park on Main Street in front .of the Rustine residence and the A. & P. Stores and the Dallas Hardware. It seems that when these autoists park, they park flush to the |. street intersections and when other autoists come out of either Rice or Huntsville Street, it takes some man- oeuvering to avoid striking these parked cars. Officer Avery has been very busy the past week warning these people and it is hoped that this condition will be eliminated. Used $95.00 YOUR CHOICE OF TWO FORD TOURINGS AT BE J. F. BESECKER CO.

Mrs. Rob- ert Moore, of this place, has been his private nurse. } The Ladies’ Aid served dinner at the church Monday and Wednesday for the men who are on the Canvass- ing Committee. Mr. J.

It will be known as the Dallas Motor Car Com- pany. ; Miss Marie Woolbert entertained a few friends at her home Thursday evening. Dr. George K. Swartz has moved his family from the Sullivan building to the Rice home, which they recent- ly purchased. His new office rooms not being quite finished, he expects to keep the old ones for a short time. The young son of Prof. and Mrs. Ernest Wood has been under the Doc- tor’s care the past week. : The home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Reese was brightened last Friday by the arrival of a daughter.

The Scouts are standing always on the threshold of new and better things. Our immediate prospect is moving our regular meetings into the new high school building. We love the old because of its associations with happy times but the newness and completeness of our fine new build- ing is an invitation to every organi- zation in our community to cover its future with glory and the Scouts feel that they have a great share in that business. Also the Scouts of to- night are aware that the fathers of thei generation are directly respons- ible for the new building with its gymnasium ready for games and ex- ercise which are so necessary a part of Scout life. And I am happy that it is my priv- ilege in our welcome to express the Scouts appreciation of the great and little sacrifices the fathers have made in order that daughters may become fine citizens. 20s 7 A man going his name as Mr. Scotts ran his Ford into a telephone pole near the Goss school last Tuesday afternoon. He was taken to the of- fice of Dr. Swartz by Chief of Police Avery. He’ suffered minor injuries and was later locked in the jail for awhile to sober up. A few pigs in the car were uninjured and were tak- en on to Kunkle by some friends. Mrs. Edith Adelman is spending some time with friends at Berkshire, New York. 3 o | | C. O.
