Club In Fifty-first District Has An Interestinf His- tery By REV. J. B. LYON Clarks Summit On March 21, 1929, there was born into the fifty-first district a new Rotary Club. The club was the baby of Scranton, and in as much as it held its meetings in Clarks Summit, Pa The Rotary International christened it the Clarks Summit Rotary Club. The club had a discouraging start, as it was organized in the undertaking par- lors of Herman C. Cole. But despite its bad start. the club elected a drug- gist for president, a doctor for vice president, and by their united efforts the club began to improve. A banker was elected treasurer, and with wun alienist and florist elected as directors the success of the club was assured, and if anything happened the club wag prepared for the worst. The club began with twenty-six charter members, all of very high character and they were taken into membership by International without a hitch. The club has lost two of its members through removal and it has taken in three new members. The chief difficulty of the club has been to get out of the infant class and thanks to the Wyoming Club it has at last accomplished its end. Now the Clarks Summit Club, no longer the in- fant of the district, is ready to take upon itself the duties of a grown-up club. Clarks Summit 1s extremely fortu- nate in its meeting place. The Abing- ton Woman’s Club has a very appro- | priate club house and they were very | willing to serve luncheon to the club every Thursday. The result is that the meals are of an extra high quality and | it is a pleasure for the members of the surrounding clubs to visit at Clarks Summit. In fact, some of .the mem- bers have said that they would rather eat at the Clarks Summit Club than at their own club. The club has a large! number of visitors each week, in fact, | two or three of the Scranton Rotarians | have a 200 per cent. record for at- tendance. Perfect is Clarks Summit as well as their own club. As is the case with all new things the first duty of the Clarks Summit Club was internal organization. Realizing that even a growing youth needs care the club reelected the drug- gist and the doctor as president’ and vice president. Appropriate road signs have been erected and a fund has been started for the aid of the Crippled Children. ing at the Woman's «Club enabled the club to make substantial payments on their house, which was purchased a few years ago. Plans are being made for an educational loan fund from the Clarks Summit Rotary Clbu.

Ruth H onored By Lake Folks On July Fou Popular Captiin of Lake and Lehman Police Guest of Honor At Dinner Held At Lakeside Inn More than fifty residents of Warden Place and vicinity gathered at Lake- side Inn, Harvey's Lake, on Thursday night to pay honor to Captain John Ruth, head of the Lake and Lehman police force, and one of the outstanding civic leaders of I.ake township. The dinner took the form of a testi- monial in commemoration of the fine things recently accomplished at War- den Place under the leadership of Cap- tain Ruth. Recently under his direction, a new bathing place at Warden Place has be- come a reality, eliminating a dan- gerous step-off, which has claimed many lives in the past and which has made bathing at the regular beach unsafe. The new place has been fitted with a pier and possesses an ideal bot- tom. Another project sponsored by Cap- tain Ruth has been the placing of street lights throughout Warden Place. He has also been one of the leaders in the” movement to have Warden Place incorporated into a borough. Last year it was largely through his efforts that a splendid old home week was carried out by the cottagers at Warden Place. Congressman C. Murray Turpin was toastmaster at the affair. Invocation was given by Rev. Lester Nieman. Miss Esther Horowitz gave several | violin solos and Mrs. Shirley Mirkin, | of Los Angeles, Calif. pleased with | piano selections. { Vocal selections were given by Her- man Kern, accompanied by Miss Ar- mitage. Humorous stories were told was given by Stanley Rauch. William R. Roberts was song leader. Addresses were given by Edward Burns, Arthur Tredinnick, John George, John Wag- ner, Joseph Walker, Mrs. Neiman and Captain Ruth. The . banquet room was tastefully decorated, the color effect being pink and white. A beautiful bouquet of roses made up the centerpiece. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. John George, Arthur Tredinnick, Mr. Frank Vir- ticken, Alexander Snyder, William Parry, William Ganaposki, Ruth Hess, Mrs. J. M.

The ser- vices wil be in charge of the Rev. M. Peters and Rev. Harry Henry. Mr. Steele until recently made his home at Shavertown. He had been em- ployed the past two months by the Kersteen Construction Company on the new highway where he drove his own truck. On Wednesday afternoon while driving in the vicinity of the new concrete retaining wall near Bireh yrove, he stopped his truck and got out to speak to another driver. As he aftempted to board the other machine, which was moving, his footing slipped and he was crushed underneath the rear wheels. Death was instantaneous. The tragic death of M r. Steel comes as a shock to his many friends and acquaintances in the upper West Side and Shavertown where he lived and conducted a general trucking business until about two years ago when he moved to the Larksville mountain. He was the son of the late Major Steele, who was well known in this community, having conducted a farm at Chase for many years. Beside his wife, formerly Miss Zoe Henry of Broadway, the deceased is survived (Courtesy Wilkes-Barre Record) | Sixth District To Have Candidate For Prothonotary Local Man One of Those Being Con- sidered For Important County Office With the appointment of John Bonin of Hazleton to fill the vacancy in the of prothonotary due to the 1esignation of Dr. C.
