Mr. Williams was driving a large

the Chevrolet, however, seeing the
truck close behind him, feared to
make the turn and kept on the main

locked, forcing the Chevrolet off the
road. The truck tipped over, pinning
Mr. Williams underneath. Help was
immediately summoned and the
‘wrecker from Oliver's Garage was
rushed to the scene of the accident.

the wrecker tipped the truck back in
place. Milk and broken milk bottles
were Scattered over the concrete road
bed for a distance of fifty feet.
Dr. G. K. Swartz and Dr. Herman
Schooley attended Mr. Williams. He
was taken to the hospital immediately

LAKE PLANS
tion of a borough and secession from |
Dissatisfied with the amount of
money being expended by Lake town-
ship officials on projects from which
they gain some benefit, more than 200
lake front residents of Lake township
| have started a movement to form a |
borough that will embrace the entire
water front of Harvey's Liake and ex-
tend back into the country for an un-
determined distance.
The first meeting - of the residents
was held some tiem ago at Worden
Place, when advantages of the forma-
WORDEN PLACE AT HARVEY'S
A NEW BOROUGH
the township were discussed. No
definite decision was arrived at, but
sponsors of the movement plan to call
another meeting within several days
to consider the matter further.
The chief grievance of the lake
front residents centres around the
allegation that most of the road im-
provements authorized by TL.ake town-
ship officials benetfi other sections of
the community than the lake district
which pays practically 90 per cent of
the total assessed valuation of the
township.
New Athletic
Field Being
Put In Shape
Sports Lovers Cooperating To Make
New Baseball Park a Success—All
Local Teams To Play There
A score or more of men and boys
interested in baseball and other
athletic activities have been busy this
week grading and filling in the new
baseball park on Machell avenue. A
road scraper was used to level off the
diamond and the outfield and infield
have been rolled.
The field fills a long-felt need in this
community and the spirit with which
members of all local baseball teams
are cooperating to make it a success
deserves the commendation of all local
sports lovers.
The Dallas team of the Rural League
is now playing all of its home games
there. And a second newly organized
team is playing there on Sundays.
Last week the new Dallas team was
defeated there by the Wilkes-Barre
Republics by the score of 8 to 3 after
Peynton Lee had made twelve strike-
outs in the first four innings and a
total of fifteen strike-outs in the entire
game. Only a small crowd was present
to witness the game. This week the
team will play the fast Maltby A. C.
Members of the teams which is play-
ing on Sunday are: Peynton Lee,
pitcher; Herbert Ray, catcher; Addi-
son Woolbert, first base; William La-
Bar, second base; Bert Stitzer, third
base; Nicholas Davis, shortstop;
Thomas Reese, center field; Theodore
Wilson, left field, and K. L.aBar, right
field. x
Free Booklet
On Motor Laws
Keystone: Club “Announces It Will
Honor All Requests, Regardless of
Membership
Facts Motorists Should Know, a
pamphlet designed to give in non-
technical language all the information
motorists need for proper observance
of the driving rules in Pennsylvania
for 1929 and 1930; is ready for distribu-
tion by Keystone Automobile Club,
Philadelphia.
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.”

James Barnum
Buried From
Idetown Home
Well
Leader Passes Away at Homeo-
pathic Hospital On Monday
James Barnum, member” of one of
Wyoming Valley's pioneer families,
died Monday afternoon at the Homeo-
pathic Hospital in Wilkes-Barre. 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.
