Each club gets ten games at home and ten away, giving as near as posgible a home game every other week. | The opening games will see Beau-| mont at Dallas, Roaring Brook at West Wyoming. For this section, the Dallas-Beaumont game will fur- nish a good afternoon’s entertainment in base ball. Austin, known as the Dazzy Vance of the league, will prob- ably open up for Beaumont while Dal- las will start Lee, known to have a good assortment of curves and plenty of speed with them.

Campaign Quota of Federation Falls Short of Goal Federation Paring Budgets of Charitable Organizations Due To Failure of Drive. ~ Dies : Thirty-one charitable and character building agencies which serve this re- gion will be compelled to terminate certain fundamental services this year as result of the community’s failure to respond to Community Welfare Federation’s campaign. Short of its $557,501.23 goal by about $80,000, the Federation will begin work of paring budgets of its agencies within a few days. : When the campaign quota was fix- led, the agencies, figuring on the min- [imum sum necessary to function for la year, turned in budgets totaling 1 $609,000. Federation officials, in an effort to cuti the aggregate still more, | decreased the sum to the $557,501.23 | mark, putting an end to all plans for | necessary replacements, property im- provements and a number of surveys planned by Wyoming Valley Welfare Council in order to improve social service. Reduction in income will mean con- siderable in the next year and be- cause the money will not be available services of the agencies will be nar- rowed. Residents of Federation ter- ritory will not have 45,000 free days at Wilkes-Barre hospitals as they did last year; crippled children will have to do without the best scientific ser- vice in the country; Red Cross will necessarily do less work among the vast number of disabled ex-service men in the county and tubercular children will not have the same care and attention they had last year. Bitterly disappointed, leaders in the community movement this week made no excusés and hid their disappoint- ment. Interested persons commend- ed the Federation for its work, crit- icised little and blamed the commun- ity for its failure to respond. Agencies | began the drab routine of slashing | their budgets. } New High School THE WEEK’S EVENTS | Today—High School dedication at 2 p. m. ; Tonight—Henry M.
