THIRTY-EIGHTH YEAR
Work On Trucksville-Luzerne Road Now
/
Moving Rapidly ---- Contractor States
One Side To Be Completed By June 1
Siegal
Force of Sixty Men Keeps Con-
crete Mixers Busy—Heavy
Traffic Somewhat Retards
Progress By Delaying Cement
and Sand Trucks
—_0—
USE OF DETOURS URGED
en
So rapidly is work progressing on
the new Trucksville-Luzerne highway
that officials of the Kefsteen Con-
struction Company expressed the be-
lief this week that ong side of the
entire road will be gompleted and
open for traffic'\by ihe 1.
More than 450 feet /of 20 foot road-
way are being laid /daily and with-
in a week it is expected that the daily
pouring of ce¢ment-will be from 500
to 600 feet. Sixty men are now be-
ing employed in the construction
work. With this practically new
organization the XKersteen Company
has had to iron out many minor de-
tails “which have kept it from reach-
ing its maximum output up to the
present time.
Within a week the piece of con-
crete at the Trucksville bridge will|
be opened for traffic thus eliminating |
the small stretch of unconcreted road
at that point.
H. C. Kersteen, in an interview with
a Post representative, said- this week
that the entire stretch of road will
be finished sonietime in July. Most
of the hard work, such as fills and
cuts, has been completed leaving an
open way for the concrete mixers and
laying of cement: The company has
kept from tearing up the old asphalt
roadbed as long ‘as possible so that
traffic over the road would not be
too badly handicapped.
During the week much of this as-|
phalt has been torn out so that bot-|
tom could be laid for cement.
The work on the road ignow in ad-
vance of the schedule required by the
State. “Construction,” Mr. Kersteen
said, “is frequently retarded by the
great flow of traffic over the road.
Trucks carrying cement and sand to
the mixers are often delayed in traf-
fic preventing the continual running
of the mixers. The greatest delay
comes from 4 to 6 in the afternoon
when outcoming traffic from Wyom-
ing Valley is at its peak.”
To the motorist who has to drive
to Wyoming Valley daily, there are
two alternative roads. One over
Bunker Hill and the other by way. of
Wyoming. The Bunker Hill road, al-
though dirt, is in far better condi-
tion than the Trucksville-Luzerne
road and its driving time is shorter.
If traffic can be shunted over the
Wyoming and Bunker Hill roads, pav-
ing work will move so much more rap-
idly that the new road will be opened
several days earlier than can now be
expected with the present heavy flow
of traffic.

HARRISON-COOKE
—_—
One of the principal events of the
week, was the marriage in the Shav-
ertown M. E. Church of Miss Alvirda,
‘daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Har-
rison, to Walter Cooke, son of Mrs.
Rose Cooke, of Dana Street, Wilkes-
Barre.
The wedding was performed on
Wednesday at ngon by Rev. Henry.
Miss Irene Hicks ‘played the wedding
march.
The bride was attired in a suit of
dark blue, and the bridesmaid in a
suit of a lighter shade of blue. Both
carried arm boquets. :
Miss Ethel Morgan, of Nanticoke,
attended the bride, while Samuel Cav-
any, of Ashley, acted as best man.
A reception and dinner was held
at the bride’s home amid the well
wishes of his many friends. The
couple will go housekeeping in a
newly furnished home in Fernbrook.

OUT AGAIN
Gee, it’s great to be out again,
‘even if it rains every day of the
week. That’s the feeling of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Dieroff and fam-
ily of nine children who have all
been ill at their home in Hunts-
ville during the past month with
diphtheria. The family was treat-
ed by Dr. Harry Brown, of Leh-
man, who states that it was one of
the most unusual cases that he has
ever had and perhaps one of the
very few in the annals of medical
history where eleven persons in
the same family have been ill with
diphtheria at the same time. But
that isn’t all, this week the family
welcomed a new son.

—(——
Absence of many of the members
who are attending the District Ro-
tary Club Convention in Pottstown
this week did not dampen enthusiasm
at the meeting, of Dallas Rotary Club
in’ Higgin’s College Inn on Friday
night. Community projects for the
betterment of the Upper West Side
were discussed and many new and
splendid suggestions were brought
forward.
Discussion for the most part cen-
tered about the recent misunderstand-
ing during the Welfare Federation
Drive when this section failed to co-
operate in raising funds to carry on
the Federation’s work. It was point-
ed out during the discussion that the
Federation did not drop this commun-
ity but rather the community with-
drew its financial support because no-
body was sufficiently public-minded to
act as general chairman.
Other subjects discussed were: The
need of a community athletic field
where high school and town athletic
teams can play their games; need for
a first-class Senior high school, serv-
ing all nearby communities and Dal-
las Borough, possibilities of an amal-
gamation of school districts,” and |p {ho 0 intends is @ pennant win.

In absence of Harold Wagner,
president, L. A. McHenry presided.

convention are:

and Mrs. James Besecker, Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Wagner, Mr. and Mrs.

Rural League Opens Today---If Weather
Permits---Improved Base Ball Promised
All Teams Are Strengthened and Ready for the Fray—Much
Rivalry Expected—Beaumont Opens Here
Today marks the opening of the
Rural League and all players are on
edge, bent on getting away to a good
start which may mean plenty ‘when
time comes around for the elimination
series. Most of the boys have taken
advantage of what summer weather
we have had and while it has not beer
‘sufficient for a full spring trainidg
it. has taken the kinks out of tHeir
arms and given them batting /eyes
enough to make a ball game ou} of it.
Beaumont has been“the operding at-
traction at Dallas for ‘the past two
seasons and from the ‘official score
book it shows each club with a win.
Today, however, you will see Beau-
mont with a much improved club over
the last season’s squad as Manager
Austin has lost no time in signing
ner. Familiar faces with the club
will be “Doc” Traver, well known
here for his pitching ability with the
Dallas Independents; Bob MacDougle,
rated as one of the best backstops in
the league; Butch Smith, heavy out-
fielder; Story and Besteder, former
Center players and Draper Evans,
who is considered one of the best in-
fielders in the league. They also
have secured the services of McCoy,
and Yeager from Sandy Beach, the
former being an athletic instructor at
the Laketon High School and highly
rated in base ball.
Manager Austin has signed others
who dre away at school and who will
not/be here until later in the season.
In/ this case he figures Dallas is get-
ting a big break in base ball by fac-
ing his club when it is not at the
full strength.
Manager LaBar will pin his hopes
on Young Lee who has showed mid-
season form in his recent workouts,
while Herb Ray, veteran of the past
three seasons, will work behind the
bat; Slim Woolbert will be back at
first while LaBar, Stitzer and Owens
will guard the infield. The starters
in the outergarden will probably be.
Lasco, Reese and Reigles, but there
are others on the roster who are due
fos ‘a tryout and may fit well into the
lineup.
Due to the keen rivalry that exists
between the Hunlock’s Creek and
Roaring Brook clubs President Thom
Higgins has selected Harry Allen, of
Alderson to officiate at the game. Mr.
Allen has had considerable experience
at base ball and is rated as one of
the best umpires in the Upper West
Side.
Manager Wilson, of East Dallas,
will pit his best lineup against the
West Wyoming boys who are rated
the best in the league.
Wilkes-Barre Firm
Appoints a New
General Manager
—_—
G. A. Hill, Formerly with Bloom-
ingdale Bros., N.Y. City, To
Manage J. R. Homer Store
Oo
The J. R. Homer Co., of Wilkes-
Barre, is pleased to announce the as-
sociation of Mr. G. A. Hill with it’s
present organization. Mr. Hill comes
to the local firm in the capacity of
general manager and sales promoter.
Mr. Hill has had a wide and varied
experience in the retail selling world.
Formerly connected with Blooming-
dale Brothers in New York City, the
Boston Store in Worcester, Mass. and
the L. I. Prout Co., where he was gen-
eral superintendent. Mr. Hill brings
a wealth of modern business knowl-
edge to the local firm.
Among other activities, Mr. Hill
was one of the organizers of the
Store Managers’ Division of the Na-
tional Retail Dry Goods Association.
As such he is recognized as one of
the outstanding retail selling promot-
ers.
The affiliation of Mr. Hill with the
J. R. Homer Co. (also known as the
Globe Store) will undoubtedly mean
a general reorganization and im-
provement. Better service to the
people of Wyoming Valley will be the
foremost desire of the present man-|
agement.

Dallas Post Adds
Many New Features
with Present Issue
—_——
Change of Form At Weather|
Reports, New Correspondents,
Cartoon Service, But Few
é —0—
Continuing “its policy of constant
improvement, The Dallas Post, with
this issue takes on a new appearance.
The type used in the paper has not
been changed but the space between
the lines has been cut down so that
ten lines can now be run to the col-
umn irnch instead of seven as in the
past. This change makes room for
fourteen extra columns of news and
should meet with the approval of all
readers who like to see as much news
as possible in their community paper.
Likewise, from this issue on the
United States Agricultural Depart-
ment’s weather forecast will appear |
weekly in the upper left hand ear on|
the front page.
In order to give its readers the fin- |
est community paper published any-|
where in Pennsylvania The Post has |
secured the services of twenty new |
correspondents. = Many of these writ- |
ers are college graduates, some are!
high school students and others are
persons of writing ability who have
a keen interest in their community
happenings and the welfare of this
section as a whole.
Another added feature is the car-
toon which will be run weekly on the
editorial page and the strip of com-
ics which are drawn by a nationally
known cartoonist. This service: is
secured only through the cooperation
of The Post with several hundred
other weekly papers throughout the
United States who have banded to-
gether to secure the best talented car-
toonists for their papers.
In order to put out an interesting
paper it is necessary to secure an
abundance of news items. The Post
respectfully asks that its readers and
others interested in the territory cov-
ered, send in their news items each
week. These can be telephoned to
The Post or sent by mail. Infor-
mation regarding deaths, births, ac-
cidents, funerals, club meetings and
all community happenings are deeply
appreciated. by the editor. « I
Remember, The Post has no axe to
grind, serves no political faction and
is independent, liberal and reliable in
its policies. Past policies have noth-
ing to do with the present or future
of this newspaper.
We believe that our readers and
advertisers will support a community
paper alive with local news and to
that end we are earnestly striving.
