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.
Iie said that his action in refusing to
go aleng came as the result of a
student council meeting where a vou
was taken that the borough should
sever all athletic connections with the
tcwnshiy.
Tarther explaining his stand, Jufia
Gebhardt,. who represented the borough
schools, said that his schools! athletic
policies were shaped by the student
eouncil which is made up of outstand-
ing students and representatives of
class and social organizations of the
borough schools. He did not know
whether it was the wish of the board
‘of directors: that township and
borough athletic relations be severed
~ or not. It is known, however, that
one member of the board has con-
tributed “Articles to city newspapers
calling ‘attention to the rupture be:
"tween the teams of the two schools;
this, in. face fof the fact that the. foot-
ball teams of both schools have now
consolidated to form one team with
strength enough to meet strong out-
side opponents. The latter action
~ said to have come about because, of
the stiffness of Dallas borough's
sehedule which included Pittston and
‘Wyoming Seminary and Dallas town-
ship's schedule which includes the
strong Tunkhannock team.
School representatives who attended
the meeting Thursday night included
Prof, Calvin McHose, of Lake town-
ship school, Prof. Ziba Howell of
Kingston township schools, Prof. Ger-
ton of Dallas township schools and
John Gebhardt of Dallas, borough.
Prof. Aurand of Lehman was unable
to attend the meeting but signified
his intention of having the Lehman
schools enter the league.
Although it had been planned that
schedules be arranged and ofifcers
elected, the action of the borough’s
* representative called a halt to the
meeting. 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-

PROF. WOOD DIRECTS NEW
COMMUNITY CHORUS AT NOXEN
Under the capable direction of Prof.
Ernest Wood of Dallas, aa Woman's
Community Chorus of more than
thirty voices is being developed at
Noxen. Organization of the chorus
started early in the fall and work h&
progressed so rapidly that it is ex-
pected the chorus will give at least
one concert before the Christmas holi-
days.
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. The feeling seems
to be that pettiness has played its
part long enough in the relations of
Dallas borough and Dallas township
and that it is now time to forget the
past and enter on an era of good feel-
ing which will bring State and county
recognition to the schools of this terri-
tory.

Minute of Play Features Game Be-|
tween Borough and Township Foot-
ball Teams
The township and borough football
teams met in their second game of the
season last Friday afternoon on the
borough field. After a bitterly fought
contest the score was tied, 6-6. The
| borough scored in the first quarter by
completing a forward pass on the
fourth down. There was no further
scoring until the last minute of the
fourth period when Butler of Dallas
township caught a punt in midfield
and raced through the entire borough
team for a touchdown. Both teams
failed to score the extra point, which
would have meant victory.

Secretary Besecker Gives Report On
Cost of New High School Building

Purchase of books for the library
for the
furnace in the old building were but
a few of the things accom-
plished at the monthly meeting of
Dallas borough school board held in
the high school building. One of the
most interesting features of the meet-
ing was the report made by Secretary
James Besecker on the cost of the
new school building.
The total cost of
fo of an’ “iron fireman”
many
the new building,
not including equipment, was
$55,856.00. Figures submitted by Mr.
Besecker show: the building costs are
apportioned as follows: General con-
tract, $41,802.68; sub-contracts, heat-
ing and plumbing, $10,105.00; lighting,
$909.10; cleaning, sanding and wax-
ing, $250.88; architect's fees, 2,637.89;
advertising and miscellaneous, $151.88;
sewer system, $1,956.60.
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. This charge is
just about encugh to cover lighting,
heat and janitor service.

REVIVAL AT HUNTSVILLE \
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
With increasing interest and in fine
| spirit the revival meetings continue
each night at the Huntsville Christian
church. Rev. C. H. Bloom of Brooklyn
is preaching excellent sermons. An in
teresting feature of each night's serv-
ices is the worship program from the
screen. Rev. Bloom had subjects of his
own choosing 'made into lantern
slides and has had them pesut
colored. A. considerable num
these are used each night. Rev. Bloom
is eminently fitted for handling this
line of work. It will interest the radio
listeners to know he chooses and ar-
ranges the music that is used in the
services of the Federal Council of
Churches of North America at which
Dr. Fosdick, Dr. Poling and Dr. Cad-
man speak and when others have had
a part in building the program, he al-
ways passes final judgement upon it.
Each night at 7:30, Saturday night
excepted services continue.” The Sun-
day services will be at 9:30 a. m. and
7:30 p. m. It is the aim of the pastor
and the evangelist to see at least 125
