FORTIETH YEAR
Parent-Teacher
Association Is
Organized Here
ns Attend First
Meeting in High School Audi-
torium—Mrs. Stanley Davis
Elected President
A forward step in the develop-
~ ment of cooperation between parents
and the borough schools was taken |:
Monday night when sixty parents and
teachers met in the borough high
school auditorium and formed a
~ Parent-Teacher Association.
Prof. George Bowen, principal of
the borough schools, was temporary
chairman and quoting Benjamin
Franklins’ famous words, “Unite or
Die,” stressed the necessity for the
closest cooperation between parents
and teachers to make the local
schools the succes sthat they can be.
A. C. Cope, county superintendent
of schools, spoke next and narrowed
the term cooperation to this locality
when he suggested the slogan,
“Know Your Own Schools!” He
urged parents to visit the schools, to
get acquainted with the teachers and
to attend classes while they are in
session. Make no quick judgments
but study the schools at first hand
and get acquainted with facts and
conditions at first hand and then try
to see that the needs of the schools
are met. Unless there is the closest
cooperation between parents and the
schools a Parent-Teacher Asosciation
is worse than useless.
Prof. Templin, superintendent of
West Pittston schools, told of the
work of the Parent-Teacher Asoscia-
tion in West Pittston where the
group is so large that it has become
necessary to limit membership. De-
spite its large size the association is
functioning successfully and bene-
ficially. Parents should look at the
schools in a constructive light for a
destructive and. critical attitude to-
ward the schools is the wrong frame
of mind in which to approach school
problems. Study your own child. The
parent knows the child in his own
home. But that child frequently be-
haves in a different manner when in
a group of thirty-five or forty other
children.
Daniel Waters, representing the
‘school board, spoke briefly from the
viewpoint of the board of directors.
To really know the school, he said,
the parent should attend meetings of
the school board and get an unbiased
knowledge of the schools’ needs.
There is probably no other body of
public spirited men who come in for
so much criticism as a school board.
These men give their sefvices gratis,
try continually to use their best
judgment in directing the schools and
in return are constantly crticized for
their work.
The following officers were elected:
Mrs. Stanley Davies, president;
George Bowen, vice president; Law-
rence Bevan, vice president; Mrs. Wil-
liam Baker, secretary, and Mrs.
Evans, treasurer.
Meetings will be held in the school
auditorium the third Monday evening
of each month. Dues will be dis-
cussed at the next meeting. Chair-
men of committees will be announced
at a later date.

Continue Arrests
For Use of Light
In Killing Deer
Despite the heavy fines which
the law provides for “jack light-
ing deer, protectors in’ various
parts of the State continue to
make arrests on that charge, ac-
cording to reports made to the
Game Commission offices in
Harrisurg. In each case a $500
fine is imposed.
Ire Hoffman, Milford, was one
of the most recent violators to
pay o $500 fine. Coe Decker of
Port Jervis, N. Y., was fined $100
for assisting in concealing an
illegally killed deer.
Use of artificial lights in kill-
ing deer is known as “jack light-
ing” by sportsmen.

RETURN FROM VACATION
Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Culbert returned
on Tuesday morning from a week's
visit with relatives in Lancaster. One
of the interesting events of a most
delightful stay there was the Franklin
and Marshall football game with
Ursinus, which occurred on Saturday.
The fact that Franklin and Marshall
carried off the big end of the score
was made doubly pleasing because of
the fact that Mrs. Culbert’s nephew,
Rollin Charles, with whom they were
visiting, is a member of the college

Everything Set
i For Firemen’s
Annual Dance
Music By Rythm Kings to Be
Feature — Grand March,
Games Contests On Program
Everything is in readiness for the
annual Hallowe'en ball of the Dr.
Henry M. Laing Fire Company to be
held in the high school gymnasium
the night of October 31.
The affair promises to be better
than ever this year and the commit-
tees have been working hard on an
unusually good program. One of the
features will be the music furnished
by the Rythm Kings, an orchestra
which has become exceedingly popu-
lar with the younger Dallas set dur-
ing the summer months.
Features of the program include a
grand march and awarding of prizes
for the best and most grotesque cos-
tumes. There will be an abundance
of Hallowe’en games for those who
do not care to dance.
Hallowe’en decorations will add to
the color of the program.
Already committees are visiting
one-half of the residents to foodstuffs,
pumpkin pies, apples and sweet
cider for refreshments. When the
next party for the fire company rolls
around the other half of the borough
will be solicited.
With a splendid program planned
and good music assured, this year’s
dance should be the best ever. As
a «community project it deserves the
united support of every citizen.

Valuable Dons
Poisoned Here
Reward of $100 Offered For In-
formation Leading to Arrest
and Conviction of Poisoners
Dog poisoners got in their work
this week when, several valuable
hunting dogs in the community were
found dead on Tuesday and Thursday
morning. One of the dogs found
dead was that owned by Prof. Frank
Morris. The dog was a valuable
hunter and Mr. Morris had been
offered more than a hundred dollars
for him. The dog belonging to Mrs.
Stella Whitebread was a pet. Neither
of the dogs had done any harm about
the community, and were tied up ex-
cept when let loose for exercise and
in the custody of their owners. A re-
ward of $100 has been offered for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of the person or persons
who have been setting poison for
dogs. Poisoning dogs is a criminal
offence and in a case in Wyoming
county about four years ago a dog
killer was fined more than $500. Cap-
tain Mack killed a pet dog belonging
to Attorney E. B. Farr. The subse-
quent court trial was one of the most
interesting in the annals of Wyo-
ming county courts.

ASKS HUNTERS’ AID
IN FEEDING GAME
If every hunter who buys a license
is willing to spend eight cents for a
pound of scratch feed and cary it into
the game country the shortage of
natural food for game and birds will
be partly overcome, John J. Slauter-
back, executive secretary of the Board
of Game Commissioners, said. today.
Slauterback explained that Af each
of the 700,000 hunters o buy
licenses would carry one pound of
food to the woods and fieldsf{the total
distributed would go far in’ meeting
the food shortage problem:
In addition to the hunters Slauter-
back asked mail carriers, scouts and
country school children to help in the
distribution.
District game protectors have been
instructed to organize civic coopera-
tion in their sections to carry out the
winter feeding programs.
