SoTans "Night, Burgess Gives Attitude On Police Hours Says He Is Unable To Fix Police Cost But Will Fix Hours of Police Pro- tection There has been considerable com- ment during the past few months on. the police system now in vogue in Dal- las. ‘There is an apparently growing feeling that the community is paying too much for police protection. For the most part this attitude is not ‘the’ outgrowth of personal animosity but the honest opinion of citizens who are anxious to see borough expenditures cut to a minimum along lines where they can be easily curtailed and in--- creased where the output of borough funds is seriously needed for com- munity betterment. Many citizens feel that the money now being spent: for police protection would go a long way toward the development of borough streets, installation of traffic lights and general community im- provement. Many people think that the money spent for efficient police protection here is not high, but that the num- ber of law violations in this vicinity does not warrant the expenditure of the present sum being paid for police protection by the borough council Still others feel that the borough is not getting full returns from its po- lice officers for the amount of money being spent. In commenting on the situation this | week Harry Anderson, burgess-elect, had the following to say: “TI have several times had pointed out to me the necessity for the pres- ence of a policeman during the hours when children go to and return from school, particularly at the junction of Main and Huntsville streets, where frequently the ingenuity of the tots is taxed to the limit to escape destruc- tion at the hands: of auto speeders. “From what I can glean from the latest laws affecting the functions and authority of a burgess, along with the best legal advice I have been able to get, I take it that I am boss of the job so far as the service of the police is concerned, and beginning with the first of the year, or before, I intend to fix the working hours of the officer or officers so that the greatest possible good to the people of the borough may accrue from such service, the con- venience of such officers being always a, second consideration. “The people of Dallas, or at least a good share of them, have for some time been complaining of the heavy police cost, contending that service in proportion to the amount expended has not been in evidence. I cannot fix the amount to be paid or the number of hours an officer must work to earn the money, that being a thing for council to determine, but I can see that he puts in such hours to the best advantage of the taxpayers and the And TI intend to do this very thing, make no mistake i he DALLAS M.

R. Oliver. Addresses were made by George T. Bowen, principal, of the Barl: Young, head coach H. L. Fortner, assistant coach and J. R. Oliver, host of the evening. As a token of their appreciation and the esteem in which they hold him, the members® of the team presented Mr. Young with a beautiful military brush set. In response Coach Young thanked the boys for the gift and told little incidents concerning each of the boys who had played on the team during the season. He stressed the necessity for team work in playing any game and particularly in football. | He also dwelt at length on the plans for a great team next season. The boys were loud in the praise of Mrs. Oliver, who so generously pre- pared the dinner and opened her home for the banquet.

S. Dinner Delightful Program Adds To Success of Affair Held Monday Night in Colonial Tea Room One of the most delightful affairs of the pre-Christmas season was held Monday night in Coionial Tea Room, Fernbrook, when more than seventy- nual dinner of Dallas Chapter, Order of Eastern Star. From start to fin- ish there was not a hitch ‘in the pro- gram. Every detail, from the selec- tion of the speakers and vocalists to the serving of the dinner was carried out to perfection, bespeaking the pain- staking work of an alert and active comrmittee on arrangements. Mrs. Benjamin Johnson was toast- | mistress and handled her work with a tact and wit that pleased her audience. worthy matron of the local chapter, who spoke on the work of the chap- ter. The speaker of the evening was Miss Beth Mace of Plymouth, district deputy of the order. Miss Mace spoke o fthe ideals and aims of the Order of Eastern Star and in allegorical lan- guage alluded to the ritualistic beauty of the Eastern Star. She stressed the necessity for all members to attend their chapter meetings and to support the projects of the order. Robert Moore, worthy patron of the chapter and one who had much to do with the success of the dinner arrangements, gave a brief address which he ended with a fitting poetry quotation. One of the most pleasing features of the evening was the group singing inspired by genial Thom Higgins, who acted as song leader. The selection of a male quartet and of a quartet of women added to the jollity of the oc- casion. Messrs. Besecker, Brickel, Guyer and Griffith, received a fine ovation for their selections. Adding charm to any affair with her gracious manner and beautiful voice, Mrs. Allan Sanford sang several solos, accompanied by Sam Griffith at the piano. ; Christmas colors, which were car- ried out in the table decorations added to the Christmas spirit of the affair. Following the dinner program there was dancing and cards were played. Beside the members of the order who attended there were a number of guests from ' Wyoming Valley and from this section. 7 Members of the committee in charge of arrangements were: Mrs, IL. A. McHenry, Mrs. Donald Frantz, Mrs. George: Metz,” Mrs. Stephen: Johnson and Mrs. Harold Rood.

PLAN ADDITION ‘At ‘the Pennsylvania Industrial Re- formatory at Huntington there was a population of 1103 on Nov. 30. There is some congestion at Huntington Mrs. McCauley said, but this would be relieved with the completion of a new cell block there, plans for which have been approved, with work scheduled to start as soon as weather permits. Mrs. McCauley pointed out that while there are penitentiary prisoners in county prisons in some parts of the State, this practice was approved by the Department of Welfare rather than to over-crowd the Penitentiaries, which is generally regarded among prison authorities to create a tendency to riot. Another policy which the Depart- ment of Welfare has tried to carry out, Mrs. McCauley said, is to keep the prisoners as busy as circumstances permit.
