In announcing that all requests for the pamphlet will be honored, regard- less of club membership, Harrison C. Kildare, counsel in charge of the legal department, said the object of the booklet is to assist in accident pre- vention. “We find,” said Mr. Killare, ‘that a large percentage of accidents is due to unfamiliarity with driving rules. Many motorists are inclined to assume that because they are competent so far as mechanical operation is concerned they need know little about the laws that govern traffic. Consequently there are numerous intersection crashes that are entirely avoidable. “The law governing right and left | turns is highly important, and every car owner owes it to himself to become thoroughly familiar with the proper methods of making the turns. The pamphlet contains diagrams showing both the correct and the incorrect methods, and also gives every rule of the road to be followed under all con- ditions.” —o0 COLLEGE MISERCORDIA’S SUMMER SCHOOL BEGINS College Misercordia opened its sum- mer school on Monday June 24th and will close on August 3rd.

Mr. Barnum’s father was an associate judge of Luzerne County, and the family lived in Wilkes-Barre when the city was only a fair-sized town with a cov- ered bridge and a one-room school. Mr. Barnum spent his entire life in the study and teaching of music. He played in the first bands and orches- tras the city boasted and in some of the large churches. The Barnum family owned extensive properties around Harvey's Lake. After taking up their residence there, Mr. Barnum organized many orchestras and choirs in the rural communities nearby. ; About twenty-five years ago Mr. Barnum built himself a beautiful home ‘lat Idetown, near the Caleb Ide prop- erty. There he lived practicing until of late years when failing health made it impossible for him to care for himself. Recently he has spent the winters at the home of a newhpew in Ohio, coming back in the summer. He was a familiar figure in the homes of his many friends in the vicinity and was always welcomed and cared for with every kindness and consideration. Mr. Barnum was a man of large stature; he possessed a boyish sense of humor, a kind smile, w crown of flowing white hair the long, sensitive, restless hands of an artist. In his younger days he played sev- eral instruments but poor health made it necessary to give up all practice ex- cept the piano. He worked faithfully at his music as long was his strength held and retained until the end the “singing touch” which made his play- ing truly beautiful. The funeral was held at the Ide- town church on Thursday afternoon. Interment was in the Forty Fort Cemetery. At his request the men of the choir acted as pall bearers and the women as flower carriers. ,teaching and —_—_— St. Paul’s Lutheran Church “Enough Patriotism” will be the sub- ject of the sermon at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Shavertown, Sun- day, at 11 o'clock.
