Having made the final payment on their Community hall, Kunkle folk will celebrate this Saturday night with a big free dance to which the entire community and countryside have been invited. The following Saturday night there will be another dance, the entire proceeds of which will be donated to the Henry M. Laing Fire Company. The Kunkle Community hall was formerly the school building used by that section of Dallas township. When the new township school was built there was no longer any use for the building for educational purposes and it was sold by the shcool distrite to John Isaacs for $1,200. Mr. Isaacs purchased it so that Kunkle folk could have a community centre and carried the financing of the project until last week when the Community Hall Asso- ciation made the final payment to him on the building. ° It is planned to renovate the build- ing and grounds as soon as. possible. Shrubs and trees will be planted about the grounds and an athletic field will be developed. The building already has a small kitchen but this will be enlarged and there will be 'many changes or the interior of the hall. Charles Martin is president of the Community Hall Association.

This question suggested itself today from an announcement in Chicago of a national canning contest to find the best jar of canned fruit, vegetables or meat in the country. Twelve hundred and fifty dollars ($1,250 in cold cash awaits the woman or girl in the United States whose entry is selected as the best jar of canned food entered in the contest. The contest, which is sponsored by a Chicago agricultural foundation, seeks to acquaint more “housewives with the economy and healthfulness of home canned foods. For years the U. 8S. Department of Agriculture and home demonstration agents throughout the eduntry have worked for increased production of native canned foods. It is to further this excellent idea and at the same time to help absorb the threatened surplus of farm products in many sections, that this canning project was conceived. Two hundred and twenty-two cash prizes, totalling $5,825, will be dis- bursed to the winners in the contest, which has three major divisions: fruit, vegetables and meat.” The best entry in each division will be awarded $250, and one of these will also receive the thousand dollar sweepstakes prize, thus bringing the total cash prize for the best jar of canned food in the con- test to $1,250. Second prize in each of the three divisions will be $200, third prize $100, and fourth prize $50. There will also be five prizes of $25 each, ten prizes of $20 each and fifty prizes of $5 each. In addition, a thousand dollars in cash will be awarded: to the home demonstration agent whose county sends in the greatest number of entries, $500 to the agent whose county has the next largest number, and $100 to the agent whose county sends in the third largest number of entries. A number of lesser merchan- dise prizes are also offered. Contest Closes October 15 According to the rules, the contest is open to every woman and girl in the United States. There are no restric- tions as to the nature of the food sent; any fruit, vegetable or meat, whether Rotary Club Entertained At Lake Carey Members and Their Wives Enjoy Qui- ing Thursday Afternoon Followed By Dinner ai Elm Tree Tea Room Members of Dallas Rotary Club joined their ladies in an outing at the Risley cottage at Lake Carey Thurs- day afternoon.

No entries will be re- turned, but instead these will be sent, with the name and address of the con- testant to an orphanage, hospital, in- firmary or other charitable institution to be selected by the foundation.

There will be three judges, to be selected by the foundation from a list of outstanding authorities on home economics, domestic science and canned food. Their decision will be made known just as soon as possible after October 1. Gives Hints On Canning “Any method of canning may be used for this contest,” announces Annie Williams, director of the con- test. “The use of a steam pressure cooker, however, is highly recom- mended by canning experts and by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, es- pecially in canning meats. Not only does this method of canning save time and fuel and assure absolutely, steril- ity and preservation, hut food canned under pressure retains all its natural flavor and texture, which are vital points in any canning contest.” That the judging may be thoroughly impartial and the display of canned absolutely uniform, con- testants are required to submit their entries in standard glass jars of the quart mize. All contestants will be furnished with one Ball mason jar and carton for sending in a canned article, but those making entries in ‘more than one division are expected to supply their own jars and shipping cartons. The sample jar and prize entry labels for use in submitting entries may be secured without cost by communicat- ing with the headquarters of the Na- tional Canning Contest, 925 S. Homan avenue, Chicago, Illinois.

BIG, BLACK BEAR VISITS SHAVERTOWN Maybe a bear doesn’t look like cow, but you can’t tell that to Bob®y Isaacs, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Isaacs, and get away with it. On Monday night just about sundown, Bobby was playing in the field op- posite his home in Shavertown when he saw a queer looking black cow in a pasture nearby. Rather concerned about the queer actions of the “cow,” Bobby hurried across the road and into the house to ask his father to come out and tell him what kind of a cow it was, saying that he’d never seen one just like it before. Upon investigation it was found that the “cow” was a good sized black bear about two years old. The bear seemed unconcerned about spectators and gamely stood his ground while Mr. Isaacs summoned his neighbors to cone and see the unusual sight. The bear appeared very thin and had evidently wandered out of the woods where berries are scarce to seek food in the vicinity of houses. The heavy smell of honey in the air led some of the spectators to suggest that perhaps the bear had scented a bee tree in the neighborhood and was out to find the honey.

Local Boy Makes Good In Aviation Tat Crosby Of Noxen Geis Pilots Li cense At Patco Field, Norristown ZA tk Li Titman, Mrs. Oliver, : LL The following clipping from a Nor- ristown, Pa., paper is of interest locally -~ and of especial interest to residents of Noxen. Fassett Crosby is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Crosby of Noxen and has been in Norristown since he : was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania a year ago last June: “Out at Patco Field on Ridge Pike, below Norristown, is one young pilot who is slowly but surely making his way in commercial flying. He is W. Fassett Crosby, who during the past week passed his examination for a private pilot's license. . “Crosby became interested in avia- tion while a student at the University of Pennsylvania, when an aviation club was organized there in 1927. i Upon being graduated fron the uni- versity last year Crosby determined to ‘ollow commercial aviation as a vo- cation. He got himself a job with J. Wes- ley Smith, operator of Patco Field, working around the airplanes. In the meantime he was in the air every chance he got, at the same time pick- ing up information on flying from the commercial pilots and instructors at- tached to the field. To date Crosby in the air and he is perfecting himself toward winning a transport license. Crosby chose this method of learn- ing about aviation, for he wanted to be competent on motors and other phases of operation and, according to his boss, he is learning the job thoroughly. 23 ® Oliver's Main Street, ATWATER KENT SCREEN-GRID AADIO o> Cd oid a Garage Dallas, Pa. 0H 0 amen 0 wa» O a0 Je |
