and inspection tour of the plant at
‘Wilkes-Barre on Thursday,
‘Mr. Bevan, better known as Larry
to his Rotarian associates, is a resi-
dent of Dallas, vice president of the
Dallas Parent-Teacher Association
and has been associated with the
Hazard Company for many years. To-
day he is one of the leading men in
the wire rope industry of the country.
With the Rotary ‘Club as guests at
the dinner were: Rev. Frick and Rev.
Bloom. (Others at the dinner were
officials of the Hazard and included
YA. C. Overpeck, secretary and wassis-
tant treasurer; George CC. Gregson,
works manager; XIli Weyhenmeyer,
superintendent; G. E. Parnell, master
tmechanic; Henry J, Krupp, general
foreman; Jacob Walter, general fore-
man; Walter Weyhenmeyer, foreman;
A. A. Bloomburg, accountant and
auditor; Hugh G. Murray, sales agent,
and A. H. VanNortwick, sales clerk.
BotH Mr. Murray and Mr. VanNort-
wick are residents of Dallas. Guests
from Wilkes-Barre Rotary Club were:
Charles FF. Terry, president, and Ar-
thur Bolender, secretary.
A chicken dinner was served in the
director’s room by Percy A. Brown &
Co, and was followed by orief ad-
dresses by some of the officials and
guests. Favors were leather note
books and Eversharp pencils. Fol-
lowing the formal program the guests
broke up into groups of four each
with a guide who explained the va-
rious departments of the plants as the
groups visited them.
The Hazard is the third Inrgest wire
rope works in the United States and
is one of the oldest. It was estab-
lished in 1817 by Erskine Hazard, who
designed the first suspension bridge in
America, built at the falls of the
Schuylkill river, near Philadelphia.
Today the Hazard sends its products
to all parts of the world. The great
bulk of their business, however, Is
done with coal companies, the rope
being used for steam shovels and
other types of machinery and for
highway guard ropes.
‘The guests were shown the various
processes through which the crude
wire received from steel mills is taken.
The wire is reduced in size from the
size of a dead pencil to the size of a
lead pencil lead. At each process the
strands are tempered and galvanized
before they are woven into rope form
‘When received the strands have -a
strength of fifty tons per square inch,
After reduction of 80 per cent and
tempering the strands have a strength
of 90 tons per square inch. Without
tempering and galvanizing the strands
would go only six months without
rusting, after being tempered and gal-
vanized the rope will withstand rast
for six or seven years, The Iazard
produces about 80 per cent of its own
electric power. Its power plant is a
model of perfection and cleanliness.
The plant employs about 600 men and
its payroll is one of the largest in
Wyoming Valley.

W. Fassett Crosby Gets Second Place
In Student Flyers’ Derby At Patco
Field
W. Fassett Crosby, of Noxen, re-
cently won second place in the Patco
Mystery Air Derby, winning the silver
cup donated by Captain J. Wesley
Smith, who is manager of the Patco
Airport at Norristown.
In order that the entrants had no
chance to plot the course, the official
course of the event was announced
only a few minutes previous to the
start, thus making it more a mace of
piloting ability than of speed. The
course included flying to the William
Penn Airport at Philadelphia, making
a right hand circle around the wire-
less towers, then to Moorestown, N. J.,
where a landing was made.
After wa fifteen minute stop the
pilots again took the air, returning
by way of the William Penn Airport
to the Pitcairn field from which a
direct flight was made to the Norris-
town Airport.
The race was restricted to privately
owned planes of the Monocoupe and
Monoprep type and to former stu-
dents at the Patco Airport, The eight
participants left the field at ten
minute intervals. Larry |S. Moore of
Bryn Mawr was, declared the first vie-
tor of the fifty-one mile contest, mak-
ing the strange course in thirty-four
minutes and thirty seconds. Crosby's
time “was thirty-five minutes.

Mrs. Malkemes
To Be Appointed
Justice of Peace
Will Fill Office Made Vacani By
Death of Husband—Probably First
Woman to Hold Such Office in
State
For the first time in Luzerne
County and probably in the history of
the Commonwealth, a woman will no
doubt be appointed Justice of the
Peac.e.
Senator Sordoni, who will make the
recommendation to Governor Fisher
for the appointment to fill the vacancy
in the office of Justice of the Peace of
Kingston township, vacated by the
death of George Malkemes of Shaver-
town, stated late last night that it is
his intention to offer the appointment
to Mrs. Malkemes, the wife of the de-
ceased.
While it is probable that no woman
has held this office before in Penn-
sylvania, she is legally entitled to,
and in this particular case it would
be very fitting and proper for Mrs,
Malkemes to accept the appointment.
Mrs. Malkemes is well fitted for ‘the
position and in view of the fact that
Ler late husband had built up a con-
siderable civil practice, it is thought
that she could continue on in- this
| papers to Mrs. Malkemes so that she
jreonld formally make application for
| the position. If Mrs. Malkemes will
| accept the position, the Senator will
| forward her name to Governor Fisher
immediately. Senator Sordoni re-
quested the approval of Republican
Chairman G. Harold Wagner, who,
joe interviewed, expressed great
| pleasure in adding his recommenda-
FOR JIE TH YEAR
M ik Prod ucers
Have No Need To
Fear State Code
D. A. McCarthy, in Charge of State
Division of Milk Control, Explains
the New Code.
A large amount of misunderstand-
ing regarding the new Pennsylvania
State Milk Code has developed among
local milk producers, owing to the
fact that when Dame Rumor is pres-
ent, common subjects become magni-’
fied and from the mouth-to-mouth
means of communication, many milk
producers have become highly alarmed
over the new State code.
Recently at the request of several
milk producers ini the Salem township
area, J. D. Hutchison, county agent,
got in touch with Mr. D. A. McCarthy,
in charge of the Division of Milk
Control, in order to secure the funda-
mental facts relating to the milk code.
Mr. McCarthy stated that many of
these milk rumors were unfounded
and that there should be no cause for
alarm.
The new Pennsylvania Milk Code
known as Act 428 became effective
June 1st, 1929, but will not be enforced
until September 1st, 1930. The new
act is known as a permit system.
Under this system milk distributors
are compelled to make inspections of
the producers farm from time to time,
keeping a record of these inspections
in their office for information.
Relative to the producers end, no
radical changes will be required under
this new act except that all milk pro-
ducers shipping to a distributor shall
have by September 1st, 1930, a milk
house which may adjoin a barn but
not in direct communication with the
building proper. This milk house
should provide rsome means of cooling
the milk quickly, either through aera=
tion to Mrs. Malkemes’ application.
| With more than twenty appliactions
for the position it is thought that no
one will press his case if Mrs.
Malkemes decides to take the appoint-
| nent.

A. C. Devens Host at Dinner and
Discussion On Dairy Subjects at
Kunkle
The Tioga-Empire Feed Company of
Waverly, N. Y., and their local feed
dealer, A. C. Devens, gave a dinner
for their many patrons in this locality
on Wednesday evening at the Kunkle
Grange hall. The dinner was served
by the Kunkle Ladies’ Aid Society. A
very interesting illustrated lecture on
scientific feeding and feeds was given
by Prof. J§ F. Lantz of Waverly, N. Y.
The dinner program was a fine
example of the scientific spirit which
rmodern stock raisers are showing in
the raising of their herds. Mr. Devens
also shows his progresgsiveness as a,
merchant and citizen in bringing a
man of the type of Prof, Lantz to the
community. The following attended:
Mr. and Mrs. C. A." Herdman, Mr.
and Mrs. Victor Rydd, Miss Blanche

The law also provides that the pro-
ducer shall maintain a barn that is in
a reasonable sanitary condition. Also
the farmers should provide a tight
vault or septic tank for sewage dis-
posal so as to elifninate possible con-
tamination of milk through flies. The
farm water supply should also be
adequate and wholesome.
Any person who desires further in-
formation relative to this act should
get in touch with Mr. D. A. McCarthy,
whose address is 100 East 'Pettebone
