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-

‘and’ presented to the school directors
who were all in favor of it. The su-

they too favbred it and one of the
supervisors whose term had just ex-

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.

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 shovel is be-
ing used to dig away a large bank
to make room for a railroad siding for

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.

SEEN AND HEARD
By will Wimble
The Improvement Association meet-
ing came to a quick ending last Friday
evening when Rev. 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

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-

pointer for Lehman. How come, Moo?

all the ack taxes were paid to the
