Hard feel ings following the Dallas Township N Dallas Borough football game som: weeks ago is said to have motivated the action of the borough represeuta- tive. ¥ ‘In stating his case the borough school’s representative at the meeting said that it was not his wish or desire to keep Dallas township's ‘team out of 2s ¢ the league or for Dallas borough tv stay out if Dallas township entered.

The representatives dec to adjourn the meeting and call an- other one for this week, thus giving all the schools "as well as Dallas borough an opportunity to consjier a way out of the dilemna. A survey of feeling about the com- smunity indicates that local fans «are much opposed to Dallas borough’s ac- tion and if the borough team stays out of the league or refuses to enter is Basket Ball Ladies Aid ' Society Plans Supper Program Bazaar To Be Held in Connection With Chicken Supper To Be Given On Evening of December 5 The Ladies’ Aid Society met at the parsonage Thursday for a rnasquerade party.

Rehearsals are being held in the high school ‘auditorium every Satur- day night. At the time of its ‘®Tgani- zation it was planned to make the chorus a high school glee club. In- terest in the organization grew so rapidly and became so widespread in the community that it was finally de- cided to make the chorus a community affair. if Dallas township enters it will get little or no support from many lead- ing local citizens.

Following payment of bflls and other routine business Principal George Bowen discussed matters per- taining to the compulsory attendance of students at classes. He cited a number of cases where borough stu- dents are staying away from school without proper excuses and in viola- tion of the State school attendance law. A number of instances were cited where it will be necessary to issue warrants in order to get the children back in school. The school board has been very generous in allowing the use of the school auditorium as a community centre, donating its use free of charge to such organization as the Henry M. Laing Fire Company, Boy and Girl Scouts and other civic organizations. At the meeting it further extended the use of the auditorium free to the M. E. Church in return for the many years that the borough has had the use of the church auditorium free of charge. All other organizations are charged a fee of $10 for the use of the school auditorium.
