PA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1329 Borough Will Improve Three More Streets I Work on Lehman Streets to Start Work On Another and _ Franklin Soon—Discuss rT Borough Council at its meeting on Tuesday night heard reports on the completion of Norton avenue and Spring street resurfacing work. Plans were completed for the improvement of Lehrman avenue and Franklin streets before cold weather sets in. Though the work on the two latter streets will not be as complete as that on the projects just finished, it will be of such a nature as to put the streets in better condition than most + of the borough streets with the excep- tion of those with hard surface. Councilmen discussed the proposed repairs of the cross street between Church and Lake streets. Nothing definite was done on this proposal. Although council has done consider- able repairing to borough streets this year, it has not had to borrow money to carry on borough affairs. Matters pertaining to fire prevention were discussed and an ordinance, which appears elsewhere in this issue, was pased requiring the cutting of weeds, on all ots in the borough. It is believed that the destruction of dry weeds will reduce fire hazard in the borough. The meeting was not without its humorous aspects, a written protest signed by nine borough residents, asked council to take action against one of ' their neighbors who keeps chickens in ' an offensive manner. | Council decided to investigate charge. A special meeting of council | will be held Monday night. .

" Adam Comonsky, amos” center fielder of the Pittshurgh Pirates and one of the six leading batters in the National League, will be in the Reds’ lineup. Comorsky is a Swoyersville boy and one of tlie many outstanding big league players that have gone out! With him on the] of Wyoming Valley. Luzerne team will be several other players of national repute, none of them, however, with such a high rat- ing as Comorosky carries. In the five previous games played between the Independents and the Reds, Dallas has won four games and lost one. So far this season with the exception of the first few games, the Independents have played good base- ball in good contests and have fur- nished plenty of. thrills for Dallas fans ee ——0 BUILDINGS ADD TO DANGER OF CURVES Superinténdent Wilson C. Price of the State -Hifhway Patrol, several days ago reported to the State High- way Department the activity of a busi- ness man who on a dangerous curve on an important highway route’ is creating a hazard for all road-users. “This: man,’ ‘said’ Captain Price, “owned property at a blind curve. ile decided it would be an excellent place for a filling .station, despite the fact that his stand, if erected, would not be visible to, ascending or descending motorists until they were within twenty-five yards, and despite the fact | that ascending traffic, to reach his | pumps would be compeleld to cross a | white line on a very dangerous curve. | We considered his action decidedly ill-advised and notified the State High- way Department, as weshall do ev ery | time a dangerous condition is created ' by property owners.” the | : to the | their | their | issue 111947; miscellaneous, 322. REARDING SLOT MACHINES Last week Chief Ruth of the Lake and Lehman police depart- ment, raided a store at Harvey's Lake, where a slot machine was being operated, having been placed the day before. Chief Ruth has issued repeated warnings that he would not tolerate a slot“machine in Lake or Lehman Townships. Slot machings e becoming plentiful in Wyomifig Valley again. This paper ave more to say on this question in a later issue. Are county officials lax in their duties? Fernbrook has had sev- eral dens where these machines were allowed in the past, which was strenuously objected to by the good merchants of that section. Local police officials will no doubt see that these machines are not operated there again. 17,650 Auto Drivers Have Some Form of Physical Handicap Records of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles show that of the 1,840,000 Pennsylvania men and women licensed to operate ‘motor cars and trucks, 17,650 are maimed in some manner.

The youthful editor was a lover of the out of doors and of all things literary. While a student at College Migsericordia she distinguished herself in oetry and other literary pursuits until a coasting accident a year or so ago obliged her to relinquish her studies at the school. Later she spent sometime living in the Greenwich iVI- lage section of New York City, where she met many of the leading literary, dramatic and artistic lights. of the country. Upon her return to Wyo- ming Valley she edited Pegasus and for a time was wa feature writer on the Wilkes-Barre Telegram. To a cer- tain extent financial difficulties de- layed the publication of the first issue of Pegasus, which was one of the most beautifully printed magazine issued in Wycming Valley and which contained | no advertisements which might bring in any revenue. Miss Sickles came to this section with her mother from Montana some vears ago. She attended the at Noxen, where her mother was em- ployed as a bookkeeper for Risley & Crosby.

Parrish Loses Contral of Automobile Which Skids and Over- turns Against Tree For the eleventh time this year and the third tine within a month, an automobile has skidded off the road and run into the maple trees in front of the Murray home on the upper Trucksville road. Acidents have be- come so frequent there that Mr. Mur- ray, after vain attempts to keep his mail box in place, has at last decided to let it lie in his yard rather than set it up on its post where it has been so frequently knocked over during the past month. The latest accident to happen in front of the Murray home was on Wednesday when the Studebaker auto- mobile driven by Elmer Parris got be- yond his control and crashed into one of the ‘maples. Neither Mr. Parrish or Mrs. Parrish, who was riding with him, were injured in the accident. One side of the automobile was completely smashed. On Sunday three men in a Nash sedan crashed into one of the trees. A week previous another machine removed the bark from the trees and only a short time before that Peter Lutz featured in a smashup at that point. County and State engineers have been asked to inspect the road to see] | what ‘may be causing all the accidents. | This week county engineers looked it over but could determine no reason for the accidents. The majority of the.ac- | | cidents happen to cars being driven | in the direction of Wilkes-Barre. It is | said a hollw spot and an abrupt raise in the road may veer the front wheels and cause the drivers to loose control of their machines.

S. IL. storage bat- | teries. Upon inquiry I found that 2 car load was their average monthly supply, since they are the largest bat tery dealers in Pennsylvania as well! as the largest dealerg selling Indiany motorcycles. This large volume of-business is not to be wondered at, however, when on< considers the courtesy and promptness | of their service, to say nothing of their reputation for value-giving. It is in teresting to note the development in this store which is well known to | Upper West Side residents who | must pass it in reaching "Wyoming | Valley. I send you this contribution | because I think that the progress made | Stull Brothers’ store is evidence of | , courtesy and plugging will | do for young men anxious to make aj success in the world.” { | } | | | | Drivers | November | entire month after | hauling of water from | give an exhibition drill | ta { prizes for the State Aisin | Its Inspection Stations Here | Who Fail to Have Cars Inspected Before November 15 to Be Deprived of Their Use for Month Local 'notorists have been slow the first few days of this week to take their automobiles to local garages for the inspection required by Pennsyl- vania law. This inspection includes headlights, windshield wiper, tail light, brakes, horn and mirror. Local garages approved by the State High- way Department as inspection stations are James Oliver and James Besecker. Benjamin .G Eynon, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, advises owners of Pennsylvania cars and trucks to have their machines inspected as soon as practicable this month. “In the compulsory inspection period begining October 1 and ending Novem- ber 15, approximately 1,900,000 motor vehicles must be inspected by less than 5000 garages and shops,” says Com- missioner Eynon. “Estimating that there are thirty-seven working days in the period mentioned ,each of the 5000 shops must inspect approximately eleven 'machines daily in order to reach them all. The average citizen is a trifle . dilatory in matters of this kind and it can reasonably be expected that three-quarters of the cars and trucks wil rush for inspection the last fifteen days of the campaign. The jam that will result can be imagined. Nevertheless, that section of the motor | code will be enforced which declares that no car uninspected and un-0. K’d 15 may be operated for an that date.” ‘Heavy Rains Relieve Local Water Famine Water Company Using All of Its Facili- ties—Could Have Met Demand Only Up Until Tuesday Heavy rains of Wednesday and the | latter part of the week materially re- lieved the serious water shortage fac- ing DallasShavertown Water Company due to the recent prolonged drought.
