LARGE CROWDS EXPECTED
—_——
(By Tom Reese)
Well, fans, it looks like some real
base ball in the Rural League this
season. All managers have added
extra strength to their clubs and are
now confident of a chance at the pen-
nant )
At a’ meeting last Monday night, |
the finishing touches were put on the
league and’ everything is now up to
the umpire to call, “Play ball” which
will be next Saturday, April 27th. |
This is two weeks earlier than other
seasons have opened and allows for
drawn up by Bob MacDougle and Os-
car Whitesell and met the approval
of all managers. 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.
The Roaring Brook-Hunlock’s Creek
game will also be a good treat, while
the East Dallas-Idetown combination |
will probably have a tough game on |
is rated as the best club in the
league. A complete schedule will ap-
pear elsewhere in this issue. Clip it
out and save it. 2

Rev. Judson N. Bailey, pastor of

for the past four years, has been
transferred to Moscow church in the
| Scranton district and will be succeed-
ed in the local charge by Rev. W. E.
Webster who has been at Embury
Church, Scranton for three years.
During his period of service here, Rev.

supply: pastor. Six charges in this
vicinity, including Alderson, Carver-
ton, Lehman, Noxen and )Eatonville,
Shavertown and Trucksville will have
the same pastors for the next year.
Local clergymen returning from the
Conference this week expressed opin-

successful they had attended. Bis-
hop E. G. Richardson of the Philadel-
phia area, who presided at all ses-
sions, was commended by the minis-

ducted the sessions and for his clear
thinking in disposing of conference

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. }

the starting point for an educational
centre such as this community de-
