~~ No one was injured. jumping to safety. ~~ —Shavertown- ~~ “Red” Schwartz—Dallas 19 ~ Due to mean, false rumors that have | been circulated around town as to who and how the petition for the appoint. ment of chief of police here and: the township, we got the following: We understand that Mr. Avery upon hear- ing the way things were going up in Dallas on the police question, he ~ thought of the idea of getting protec- tion here. The petition was gotten ‘and’ presented to the school directors who were all in favor of it. The su- pervisors were next approached, and they too favbred it and one of the supervisors whose term had just ex- ‘pired, also’ signed. It was then up to the taxpayers. These signers, a few ‘we can recall, were Karl ‘Keithline, Sam DeWitt, Dr. Sherman Schooley, Rev. C. B.! Henry, Rev. Harry 'S. Henry, George Shaver, Guy Woolbert and A. C Woolbert This petition was ‘then sent to court, who, in turn, handed down an order directing the supervisors to make the appointment, Taxpayers’ Association Organized ; Here Organization of a committee to function in the same manner as the Luzerne County Taxpayers’ Associa - tion was effected Friday at a regular meeting of the Shavertown Improve- ment Association, held in the school house. More than thirty citizens of the town attended the session and ~ took an active part in the proceedings. JAlthough eagerly anticipated, the moot question of police protection at Shavertown was brought up, and the taxpayers left the session’ at adjourn- ment with expressions ‘of disappoint- ment. 2 ' Election of officers’ was also held with the following results: W. Keats, president; vice president, Ross Wil-| ¢ Elson Ruff, pastor. liams; secretary, E. W. Piatt; treas- urer, W. R. Ferrell; directors, E. W. Piatt and W. R. Ferrell. ; It was reported that $2,000 in taxes is on ‘hand for payment for lights up to June 1, 1930 The cost of the light- i ing system up to June 1, 1930, will be $1,344.96, leaving a balance of $655.04 to be applied to the light bill for the next period. This will probably mean a reduction of one mill on the next tax duplicate. ‘John H. Thomas requested that a street light e erected at the corner oi Franklin and Chestnut street, as it is very dark there and the property own- ers are entitled to a little considera- tion. "A new light committee was also named to 'make whatever changes are necesary in the present lighting sys- and to erect new lights where neces- sary. This committee consists of Henry Shaver, S. J. Woolbert and John H. Thomas. : i The taxpayers’ committee consists ¢ of Rev. C. B. Henry, George Shaver and Max Leonard of Trucksville. The Community Christmas tree ‘committee reported receipts of $25.15 to be applied on expenses for same. . i Steam Shovel Upsets “While excavating in the vicinity of Fernbrook on ‘Thursday a large steam shovel belonging to the Lehigh Valley Railroad upset when the gears locked. The engineer The shovel is be- ing used to dig away a large bank to make room for a railroad siding for ‘ a feed mill that is being erected there. Railroad traffic was held up for a few ‘hours ‘until the wrecking crew from Coxton yards placed the shovel back on the tracks and removed it to Cox- ton during the night. EN Girl Scouts \ The first registration for a week-end at Camp Onawandah during the com- ~ ing spring has been made by Troop No. 9 of this place with Mrs. Harry ~ Henry, captain, and this troop will be the first troop to be at this popu- lar camp for Girl Scouts this year. Camp Onawandah, maintained by ~ Community Welfare Federation for ‘the Girl Scouts of Wyoming Valley, is ‘not equipped for winter camping, but last year the troops were accorded the privilege ‘of spending week-ends t at the camp, ag soon as the roads were ‘open “and weather conditions per- ‘mitted their spending a' few days in the open. This innovation of the Wyoming Valley Council Girl Scouts proved very popular and all the troops who requested the privilege of spend- ing the week-end there were not able to do so and consequently this active troop in Shavertown anticipating the many requests that there will be this year, have requested the opening date of aSturday, May 3rd, when they will camp, hike and cook under the direc tion of their captain, assisted by the members of their troop committee. Reservations will be accented by the Girl Scout Council in the ordcr of ‘their receipt for week-end camping by the troops of this valley. eh Surprise Party A. birthday surprise party was_ held { recently at the home of Dorey Kitchen | of Main street in honor of his birth- | day anniversary.

Stang made a mo- tion to adjourn without evening get- ting on to the police question. Captain C. N. Booth was present at the meeting and thought that ore of the wisest moves ever ‘made here was the appointment of a police officer, claiming that due to the heavy auto- mobile traffic on the two roads of the town the lives of pedcstrians was en- dangered and that auto drivers who know that there is an officer on duty in the town will be w little more care- ful in their driving. We wonder if ‘Mrs. Woolbert of Shaver avenue has sold all of the pup- pies. Ye passed that way last week and saw a sign in the front Tawn which read, “Puppies For Sale.” Wonder how things getting along down at the Green Dragon? The Improvement Association meet- ing Friday night wag attended by but ¢ thirty taxpayers of the township. Where were the other 2500? Some good information was handed out. Rev. Stang was full of motions at are the Improvement Association meet: ing. Adam Stock tried to bring up the police question but it was too late, the motion having been made to ad- journ. We wonder if the presence of Captain C. N. Booth had any bearing on it not being hrought up. The slippery condition of the roads made walking a wery hard task on the various street. He heard that a woman fell on Franklin street while on her way to church, but it wouldn't Mr. and Mrs. Everett Belford, Mr. have happened if ashes were scattered all the way down the hill. Professor Bowen of Dallas refereed the last half of the Dallas-Shavertown game last week and we heard he called a personal foul on Dick Price, who was at one end of the hall, when Ted Woolbert jumped on Nick Davies at the other end. How come, Professor? The local basketball team was de- feated by Dallas last week by a one- point margin. The game was rather disgusting to sit and watch dune to the incompetent officials. We think that if an oficial from down the valley be brought up to Dallas for a few dollars it would benefit the Dallas boys. Roy Shaver refereed the first half of Dallas-Shavertown game and seemed to favor the local team, but when Addison Woolbert went in it was nothing but Dallas. Ad didn’t know where he was at. He reminded ‘us of Jim Besecker refeering the football game at Dallas recently, when Jim Penalized one side for tackling low. We used to enjoy seeing Harold ‘Wagner referee games in: the Com- munity hall here. Harold would usually stand in the center of the hall and call them. ‘We wonder if Harold remembers the old Nestor five of Wilkes-Barre, when he played with the Owens brothers, Sam Morgan, Bill Whittington, John Brahl and Paul Shovlin. John Miles refereed the game be- tween Dallas and Roaring Brook and was doing good work. Ed. Woolbert took his place in the second half and when taken out Ad inquired abut the score. When told Dallas was behind, 22 to 16, there was nothing to it but Dallas after that. ‘We heard at the firemen’s meeting Monday night that the reason the Sunday papers were relivered so late was due to roads being slippery and Charlie’s car not being able to make the hills and the courtesy that was that courteous newsboy, Charle op extended to w number of women by pr — in helping them down off the various hills. Watch yourself, Charlie. 2 1 . . Ng Fred Kromelbein passed a lead dollar onto the Brotherhood at meeting last week and when bills were being paid off K. G. Layco kK handed it over to Rev. Ruf and while up in Scranton during the past wéek he had heard that the half dollar wouldn't be acepted when the Rev- erend went to make a purchase there. But Rev. Ruff sold it to Sam DeWitt of the A. & P. store here. Fi That was a terrible lacing our bas- ketall team got out at Lehman last week. Lehman high School 40, King- ston township 9, and to help the cause along Moe Rowlands dropped in a two- 3 pointer for Lehman. How come, Moo? 1 It was heard atthe meeting that if 0 all the ack taxes were paid to the supervisors they would be out of debt and would have: over $3,000 on hand with which to work on at the present time. rir iy “Bob” Bulford and Max Leonard represented Trucksville at the rreet- ing\and Max was appointed on' the taxpayers’ committee.
