Liquor Causes
the Arrest of
Three Drivers
Thanksgiving Day Check-Up By
Police Brings Fines to Drunken
Drivers and Other Violators of
Motor Code
Three motorists were arrested for
driving under the influence of liquor
and a score of others were fined in a
check-up made on Thanksgiving Day
on the new Sordoni highway by local
police and State Highway patrolmen.
Beside making arrests, police officers
were also busy a part of the day ‘re-
moving icy spots from the highway.
So slippery was the road in spots that
many motorists had difficulty to keep
from skidding. Two cars collided just
above the Luzerne borough line and
. although no one was seriously injured,
the cars were badly wrecked.
The men arrested for driving under
the influence of liquor were George
Lamereaux, Lehman; a Mr. Crump,
Mt. Greenwood, and John Wilkinson,
Huntsville. Crump was fined $34.50
and costs. The other two escaped
with lighter fines of $10 and costs
each.
In one instance one of the drivers
was making good progress up the
roadway and showed no outward ef-
fects of liquor. ‘When he reached the
road intersection in upper Trucksville
he: became worried at the sight of po-
lice officers checking up on cars. He
stalled the motor and when the pa-
trolmen signalled for him to be on his
way, the driver found great difficulty
in getting his gears to mesh and at
the same time keep the car on the
road. Investigation by the officers
showed that beside a drunken driver
there were three quarts of liquor in
the car.
In the accident at the Luzerne bor-
ough line a Buick car going south on
the wrong side of the road carshed in-
to an Overland sedan. The Buick veered
across the road and down over the
bank into Toby's Creek. It took a
crew of four men and a wrecker, as-
sisted by motorists, four hours to get
the machines back on the roadbed.
Harry Cassedy
Laid At Rest
Popular Owner of Honeysuckle Inn,
Vict. of Heart Attack, Buried
Froxa Winter Home in Wilkes-
“Barre
The funeral of the late Harry A.
Cassedy, owner of Honeysuckle Inn
and one time secretary of the old Dal- |
las Fair Association, was held from
the family home on Franklin street,
Wilkes-Barre, at 2:30 o’clock on Wed-
nesday afternoon. Services at the
home were in charge of Rev. Leon K.
Willman, pastor of First M. E. Church.
Interment was in Hollenback Ceme-
tery.
Mr. Cassedy
in this section,
had long been known
where he wus active
in community, political and business
affairs. ‘For many years ‘he con-
ducted Honeysuckle Inn and made it
one of the outstanding establishments
of its kind to be found anywhere. His
management of the inn won wide-
spread fame for its cusine and for the
genial nature of its owner. It was
while at the inn on Monday that Mr.
Cassedy was stricken with a fatal
heart attack. He had been planning
widespread improvements for his
property in Lehman township, among
them the construction of wu private
lake for fishing and skating. :
Mr. Cassedy was a native of Tunk-
hannock and established his residence
at Wilkes-Barre while a young man.
He was a pioneer in the street clean-
ing business in that city, establishing
his own street cleaning company there
about twenty-five years ago. Harry
A. Cassedy was widely known
through his business ‘and fraternal
conection and his judgment was fre-
quently sought by political leaders.
He was active during numerous Re-
publican campaigns.
Mr. Cassedy was 49 years of age.
Beside his wife he is survived by one
brother, Walter, of Tunkhannock, for
many years a business man and ac-
tive citizen of I.ake Carey.

Kingston Tw wp. To
Have Paid Police
Protection Soon
Court Order Expected in Very Near
Futher Granting Supervisors the
Right to Hire Paid Policemen
Kingston township, comprising
Trucksville, Shavertown and Carver-
ton, will no doubt have paid police
protection in the very near future.
A large group of citizens of King-
ston township presented a petition to
the court of Quarter Sessions of Lu-
zerne county about two months ago,
requesting the court to grant the citi-
zens of Kingson township, through
their superyisors, the right to hire
paid police. This petition was joined
in by the supervisors and the entire
school board.
According to rumor, the court will
most likely hand down this order
within the next ten days, placing a
policeman on duty in Kingston town-
ship at a probable salary of $125 per
month.
The need of an oficer on duty at all
times has been most forcibly demon-
strated during the past few years.
Several serious accidents, caused by
drunken drivers, deaths of children
walking the highways, careless
drivers, rowdyism wand many other
reasons are advanced for this cause.
Kingston township is over twice as
large as Dallas in area and popula-
tion and has two very heavily traveled |
highways and several secondary high- |
ways with no benefits of paid police. |
While it has a constable and deputy
constable, one canot expect these men |
to work without any compensation,
except the costs received on arrests.
Whoever is appointed ,all costs ac-;
crued in criminal cases will bé turned
over to the supervisors so that the ex-
penditure of $125 per month will not
come out of the township entirely, as
the costs in these cases should reach
a goodly sum each month.

URGES EARLY MAILING
The passing of Thanksgiving re-
minds us that Christmas is near, at
hand. All departments of the postal
service have announced, plans to
handle the big rush of Christmas mail.
Postmaster Ruth Waters states that
the local postoffice will again make di-
rect pouches. of parcels to all points
provided they are mailed in advance
of the big rush. This insures the par-
cels reaching their destination much
earlier and in better condition than
those mailed at the last minute. Par-
cels may be marked “Not to be
opened until Christmas,” Al foreign
parcels not already on the way should
be dispatched promptly.
Persons sending a large number of
cards are requested to buy their
stamps in quantities early in Decem-
ber and have their cards addressed
and stamped early. The Postoffice
Department has again authorized the
receipt of cards any time in Decem-
ber for local delivery to be stamped
and delivered on any specified date
provided the desired date is made |
clear at the time of mailing.
There will be no rural delivery ser-
vice and the postoffice will be closed
all day Christmas.

Fred Weber Refuses » Care For Re-
cently Purchased Horses When He
Returns Them to William Krause
Horses! Horses! Who owns the
horses? This seems to be the ques-
tion in Dallas just now. Sometime
go William Krause sold a team of
for the sum of $275. The horses be-
longed to Mr. Krause’s mother and
it was as her agent that he sold the
horses and received the money for
them.
After working the horses for week
or so Mr. Weber decided that they
didn’t quite suit his purpose and re-
solved to take them back to Mr.
Krause. Mr. Krauase refused to take
them back, whereupon Weber some-
time later returned the horses to the
Krause barn nd left them there with-
out food. Krause refused to feed
them. So did Weber. The Wyoming
7alley Humane Society was called to
the scene and provided food for the
&nimals and is still sendiang a man
to Dalls every day to care for them.
{ The Humane Sgciety had Weber ar-
rested on a charge of cruelty to ani-
mals. Krause had him arrested on a
charge of breaking and entering. At
a hearing before a ILuzernea magis-
trate, Weber, through his attorney,
appealed the case and another hearing
will be given in few days. And the
question still remians— “Who owns
the horses?

Close Score

WILLIAME’ FEET HEAVY |
On Thursday morning, with the]
temperature about twenty degrees |
above zero, the wind blowing fitfully |
over two hundred spectators gathered
on the local football field to see the
Dallas borough high school defeat the
Dallas Collegians by the score of 7
to 2.
Quite friendly rivalry was mani-
fested, not only between the pla yers,
but the spectators as well, and
Referee Besecker and Head Linesman
Hal Wagner had their hands full in
trying to satisfy everybody with their
impartial rulings.
The Collegians scored first with a
touchback . which came when Lee
tackled Young! behind the goal lines.
A few minutes later, Young made
a thirty-yard run for a touchdown
for the high school. No scoring was
made after the first half.
HIGH LIGHTS OF THE GAME
The high school had its regular line
up with the exception of Coach Young.
But we think the high school would
have done better with its regular
team, and although Young made some
heavy gains for the borough, he did
not seem to fit in as the playing was
not as smooth as on former occasions.
Eddie Coolbaugh played with the
Collegians and did not get many op-
portunities to demonstrate his ability
against his brother Erwin. Possibly
it’s a good thing, as Erwin stopped
Eddie the only time he went against
him.
R. L. Gebhardt was an
spectator and could not take sides as
his son John played with the high
school and Dick with the Collegians.
Lorrie Lee played a hard game but
couldn't seem to get started.
Bobbie Eipper ,the high
giant, did some good tackling.
school
Kennie Oliver made a couple of
Bud Williams was almost the star
of the game. Too bad, Bud. If you
had lifted your feet a little more you
would have made the touchdown.
This kid Billie Brickel is sure in-the
game to win every minute.
Phil Anderson was on the line but
should have been a back. Phil showed
plenty of pep, which was a little un-
usual.
Earl Young, the coach, should have
left the borough lineup intact so it
would have beep a straight game be-
tween the high school and ex-high.
Nobody seemed to like the referee,
Jim Besecker, or the head linesman,
Hal A Wagner, so intense was the |
rivalry. However, considering the day
and” the condition of the field, it was
a good interesting game. Everybody
enjoyed themselves, no fights or ar-
guments and a good time was had by
guments and a good time was had by
everybody.
Pants I.ee was very much excited
during the game, as he thought that |
the high school was playing Brother |
Lorrie too hard. Pants got in the
game later but seemed to be out of
condition. You must remember,
Pants, your getting to be an old mar-
ried man. ; |
This fellow IFortner, manager of the
water company, played one of the best |
games.
ENE |
Prof. Bowen of the high school was
very much interested. He sure did|
thank the referee after the game. If |
Prof. displays as much interest in
basket ball as he has in football he
sure will be popular. |
Special Oficerf DeWolfe was on the

New Bridge To
Be Built Across
Bowman's Creek
Work Will Begin in Spring on New
Structure to Take Place of Old
Covered Bridge Near Noxen
One of the oldest landmarks in this
section will fall before the advance of
progress this spring when the State
Highway department begins work on
the new bridge across Bowman's
Creek near Noxen and not far from
where the covered bridge now stands. :°
| The old covered bridge is one of the
few remaining structures of its type
to be found in ‘Pennsylvania.
State Highway Department en-
gineers and the commissioners of
Wyoming county were on the ground
last Friday making a final survey of
the new road location and the spot
where the new bridge will be located.
Bids for construction will be received
by the ‘State Highway Department in
January and work will begin early in
the spring. Bids will be received for
a concrete structure and for steel
structure. It is expected, however,
that the bridge will be built of con-
crete since it is cheaper to build with
concrete than steel.
There will be considerable road con-
struction and relocation since the new
bridge will be located 300 feet down
the creek from the present covered
bridge. Relocation of the road will
start in front of the Kresge farm and
extend to the property of Lewis Or-
cutt. When completed the road will
be perfectly straight and many of the
old curves in the read from Lutes
Corners to the bridge will be elim-
inated.
The construction of the new bridge
is but one of the many State Highway
projects which will be started in Wyo-
county this spring. Although final
surveys have not been made, it is ex-
pected by Wyoming County Commis-
sioners that work will start in the
spring on a concrete road from the
river bridge at Tunkhanock to ma point
on the Byron Harding farm, about
four miles from Tunkhanock on the
Dallas-Bowman’s Creek road.
