Thomas Higgins, the popular Main street merchant, won out over Bur- gess Anderson for the Republican nom- ination for burgess by «<ight votes. Burgess Anderson won the Democratic nomination. Charles Cook and Harold Rood trailed the other two candidates by several votes. School Director James Besecker won both nomina- tions to the office of school director for the six-year term. Clifford Space won the Republican nomination and F. F. Morris the Demo- cratic nomination in the contest for school director for the two-year term. Space carried the Heights section of town almost unanimously cn both tickets, but Mr. Morris’ Democratic strength in the lower district gave him this nomination. Fred Gordon won both nominations for (the office of tax collector over Donald Frantz. Council Results Surprising The outcome of the borough ceuncil fight furnished several surprises to those who were not acquainted with the undercurrent about town in regard to the police situation. However, as predicted, Harry Garrahan won both nominations to the office as did Clarke Hildebrandt. James Franklin won the Republican and Ralph Rood ths Demo- cratic nomination for the third place on council. Police Question Before People The activities of the police detail during the past summer in gi/stng only a small section of Dallas the benefit of ' its protection, and of giving King- ston township a good deal of its tine, was the real cause for two of the o:d councilmen losing out in their bid for re-election. Although these two old councilmen were themselves in favor of a more suitable way to handle the police question, the fact that they were aspiring for election received the dis- approval-of the majority of the people. Peter Lutz Makes Good Recovery Peter Lutz, who it will be fe bered, skidded on a wet pavemgdt on Tuesday, September 10, and wrapped the Willys-Knight car he was driving around a tree on Pioneer avenue, Shavertown, is recovering nicely. The car, a total wreck, has been junked. The remarkable fact is that Mr. Lutz was not more seriously injured than he was. 'He was catapulted from the machine and for several hours re- mained unconscious, suffering from shock. He was able, however, on Tuesday to get out to vote, though he was quite ready for a rest when he reached his home again. His effort showed a fine public spirit, however, and he is to be congratulated on re- covering so quickly. 0 TUNKHANNOCK CALLER B..'P. . Stroh, among our callers on Thursday.

Plans for the fall hunting season and further conversation projects. were discussed. The major portion of the evening was spent in enjoyable entertainment at games, the winners of which were given valuable sporting equipment as prizes.

Pinochle contests were entered into enthusiastically by sixteen con- testants with Robert Hackling coming out the winner of a silver dog whistle. A door prize of a camper’s flightlight was awarded to A. W. Cooke, can\- date for associate judge, who was one of the guests. At the conclusion of the entertain- ment program a sportsman’s luncheon was served by a committee headed by Harry Miller. C. A. Boston, president of the league, was general chairman.

An article recently published :a the Philadelphia, Inquirer under the large headlines “Game in Scotland I.ures U. S. Hunters” makes us more than ever before realize just how proud of Pennsylvania as a hunting state we should be. The article goes on to say that “the -shooting’ this season is ex- pected to yield a record harvest of American dollars for those who have choice game sanctuaries to lease. Al- ready numerous private preserves have been taken by business men from New York or Chicago.” “The increasing number ol rich Americans eager to hunt the srag on Scottish soil has resulted in raising rentals for choice game-iand. Shoot- ing preserves which a generation ago could have been rented for $100, or a few cents an acre, are snapped up to- day at rentals ranging from $3,750 to ,25,000 each.” In Pennsylvania the poorest layman can enjoy sport equally as thrilling as can be found anywhere in the Scot- tish moors for the nominal fee of $2. And the non-resident has to pay only $15 for the sume privilege. And these fees not only permits the hunting of deer or grouse but all other game as well. And aside from this, sportsnien have an area of over 100,000 acres of public shooting ground on which to hunt. There is one good thing to note, how- ever, and that is that although there are a great number of hi.nters who de- light in seeking sport away from their nature soil,’ there are equally as many who never pass the “buck” in Pennsyl- vania. tr I VISITS SCHOOLS County superintendent A.

First warning of the fire was had when churchgoers leaving the evening service at the Methodist church saw smoke issuing down off the hillside on which the house was located near the E. Y. B. Engelman farm and orchard. Boys and young men immediately ran in the direction from which the smoke was coming and when reached the Murphy home were just in time to see the flames eating the sides of the kitchen at the back of the house. When they attempted to open the cel- lar doors a great burst of flame drove them back. Other attempts to gain entrance were similarly checked so that not so 'much as a rug or chair could be saved from the burning build- ing. : Noxen is without fire-fighting equip- ment. A nearby creek was dry. There was nothing to do but watch the flames eat their way through the building to the roof and then stand by and watch the sides of the house cave in. Fires started in the dry grass of the hillside were quickly extinguished before they reached the wooded slope. Mr. Murphy, who is employed by the J. K. Mosser company at Noxen, has a family of eight children, one of whom, an older girl, had just gone to Wyoming Valley. She was the only member of the family to save any of ; her personal effects.

Dorothy Preston, Noxen Women To Run One of Their Sex For Director Irwin Newberry, Who Receives Nom- ination On All Tickets For Six-Year Term To Be Opposed in November With the possible exception of the associate judge and school director contests little interest was shown by Noxen voters in the primary elections this year. Presumalby strong in this his old home town, A. W. Cooke, candidate for associate judge, trailed Fred "71. Wheelock by ten votes, the final re- sults being Wheelock 81 and Cooke 71. In the school director fight for the six-year term, Irwin Newberry easily defeated Albert Dendler by a vote of 90 to 66. Results of the other contests were: Auditor, Arthur Saxe; super- visor, George Scouten, and tax col- lector, T. S. Jones. Tom Wright re- ceived six votes for district attorney but lost to Joseph Ogden of Tunkhan- nock. Real interest is being shown in the election of a school director in Noxen township and it is expected tnat the general election in November will see a number of candidates’ names writ- ten on the ballot. Women of the com- munity feel that there should be at least one feminine representative ‘on the board. Since there are a number of women in the township who have had considerable experience as teach- ers and have the ability to fill this position as capably as a man, there will be no lack of rmaterial for that group of citizens desiring to see a woman elected. Among the possible candidates whose names are being mentioned are: Miss Stella Shook, formerlyy superintendent of schools at Ridgeway, Pa., a woman well fitted by education and experience for the im- portant office of school director; Mrs. Carl Auvil, Bloomsburg State Teach- ers’ College and former eighth grade teacher in the Noxen schools; Mrs. Gertrude Thomas, former teacher in Noxen schools and well qualified hy experience and business ability to act on the board, and Mrs. R. S. Crosby, Bloomsburg Teachers’ College, a for=- mer teacher and a woman interested in civic and community affairs of the town.
