J RR Nass » { 1 / A A AA mt "ALDERSON ~ Smith, Mrs. Jacob " Alderson after *Garinger, KUNKLE | ! orem oem 0am 03 Spring seems to have struck a snag this week and Old Man Winter is back on the job. We hope this is only temporary though for we have grown tired of the old man’s com- pany and we crave warmer enter- tainment. This storm reminds us of the one on April 27th last year, although this was not as severe as last year’s and has caused less dam- age. The Ladies’ Aid Society was enter- tained by Mrs. Frank Jacobson and Mrs. Garfield Jackson at the for- mer’s home on Thursday of this week. Mrs. J. E. ‘Altemus is visiting . friends in Wilkes-Barre. The cold weather failed to frighten the trout fishermen on the first day of the season but it did seem to. frighten the fish for not many trout were produced by the returning fish- ermen. We have not heard of any big ones that got away either which seems strange. Guess we'll have to wait until the weather improves. The following ladies attended the - meeting of the W. C. T. U. which was held at Dallas on Tuesday last: Miss Emma Odenkirchen, Mrs. D. P. Thomas, Mrs. Otis Allen, Mrs. J. E. Altemus, Mrs. L. T. Avery, Mrs: Geo. Harris, Mrs. Nel- son Garinger and Mrs. Grover Ander- son. "Edgar Stem, Jr., who is a student | at Lehigh University, spent the week- end at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Stem. Mrs. Corey Allen has returned to visiting her sister, Mrs. Bertha Goss, whose home is at Forty Fort. Arthur Schultz is now occupying one of the cottages owned by R. A. Davis. As a result of the appointments made at the Methodist Conference, Reverend York is to remain with us for another year. We are all glad to welcome him back and may the year be a successful one. - A surprise party was given in hon- or of Miss Bertha Allen on her birthday anniversary last Saturday night. The usual games were play- ed, refreshments were served and everyone passed a most enjoyable evening. The following were pres- ent: Pauline Davis, Mildred Hausch, Mildred Williams, Ruth Jackson, Ade- laide Hausch, Florence Hausch, Esth- er Honeywell, Ruth Honeywell, Adda Garinger, Genevieve York, Lillian York, Alice: Booth, Virginia: Allen, Mildred Kocher, Viola Kocher, Leona Kocher, Charlotte Anderson, Raymond Peter | Kuchta, Joseph Rauch, George Smith, Harry Allen, Jr., Lyman Hausch, Grover Anderson, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Philip Thomas, Mr. ‘and Mrs. Grover Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. Otis Allen. Mrs. Estella Enders, who has been spending some time in Wilkes-Barre has returned to her home here in Al- derson. We, of Alderson were warned of the approaching cold weather by a large flock of purple finches which visited us the fore-part of the week. ~ The purple finch is about the size of a sparrow. The male bird is bright- ly bedecked with reddish-purple back, breast and top-knot. The female is more plain and has 4 brown colored back and grey breast with brown streaks. They are very beautiful singers. These birds usually show up with a spell of cold weather. The faculty of the Laketon High School was entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Allen last Wed- nesday evening. The lake is still plentifully supplied with waterfowl. Last Wednesday there were six large loons swimming about at the Alderson end of the lake. These reminded us of the two loons that remained on the lake almost one whole summer until some enthusiastic city “sportsman,” who didn’t know the difference between a duck and a loon, shot one of them and the other, after mourning the death of its mate for a few days, disappeared. Perhaps, if the “sportsmen” could be persuad- ed to leave these loons alone they might remain for the summer. How- ever, “it is very doubtful.” -0 Put Out Those Fires! Statistics show that more game is killed annually by careless campers who leave their fires alight than by the guns of hunters. The loss from flame in timber country is incalculable. To preserve these resources, extin- guish all embers, 10: Mathematics The theories of equation and pro- portion were introduced among the Greeks by Thales. These were elab- orated by Pythagoras, Greek philoso- pher of 'the Sixth century B. C., to whom is due the ' honor of having raised mathematics to the rank of a science They Never Borrow Scientists have discovered that but- terflies recognize one another at a dis- tafice of six or eight feet. A possible explanation is that butterflies don’t owe one another money. « 0mm mel > John Morris, of Kast" Dallas, spent the week-end with Charles and Allen Brace.
