WORK ON RAUB HOTEL
TO START THIS MONTH
Representatives of the Hi-Grade Gas
& Oil Company were in town this
week going over plans for the renova-
tion and improvement of the Raub
Hotel property, which was recently
purchased by that company. On
Tuesday night they met with mem-
bers of the borough council to discuss
plans for erecting @ modern super-
service station and gasoline garden on
the property.
The representatives were informed
as to borough construction require-
ments - and given other information
relative to the development of the
property.
One of the first moves to be made |
by the company in the construction of |
the station will be the" removal of
trees in front of the hotel and the
paving of the roadway. Construction
work is expected to start sometime
this month.

The Woodman’s Creed
LEW SARETT
I love passionately every phase of American wild life.
Wild animals are just as real and beautiful as human be-
ings to me—often more beautiful. Wild flowers are people
to me, little people; lords and ladies, ragamuffins and out-
casts, fairies and gnomes, dreamers and dancers. I love
them all, the flower people, and I love to lose myself in
their world.
Trees are a great folk, the grim-lipped Puritan pines, the
battle-scarred sycamores, the delicate, nervous aspens—if
you know them and love them, you can almost see them
breathe and throb and bob their heads and mumble to-
gether and whistle a high song in the wind.

I love them all—the brooding Rocky Mountains, the ]
Canadian forests, the lonely nights upon the desert, the 4
wild hearts that roam the wilderness. I believe passionately 1
that the, world should know more about wild life, that y
the human race is missing something very vital to its ]
strength, its happiness, its faith, very vital to the future ]
of America. 4

I know what the wilderness has done to make me, to
give me what measure‘of happiness I salvage from each
day, to give me health and strength and vision, to give
me the courage and the will to live life by the highest
lights I can see, to open my eyes to that most precious
thing called Beauty.
Out of the wild earth of America came my strong body,
my red lungs, and a pair of steady eyes that look on life
in these feverish days quietly—a sound sense of values.
Out of. life close to the true earth came my ‘wild heart,
buoyancy, the will to fly wild and high and true and
straight, the will to maintain the integrity of my soul, the
wit not to come in to the decoys of civilization.

More precious to me ghan any one sensation of the

walks through the mountains at dusk like a wblf on four
soft feet. The world may think I'm odd; I think the world
is missing something very beautiful and significant by not
giving itself, part of the time at least, to the wilderness,

as guide over thousands of miles of the wildernesses of 4

Township Students Proven Delightful
Pageant and Play In Outdoor
Setting
Between five and six hundred per-
son from Dallas and vicinity gathered |
Thursday night of last week to Wit- |
ness the Fairy Garden and The Rid-
dle, plays which were produced by
the pupils of the Dallas township
schools.
The performance took place on the
school grounds, the . evening being
ideally suited for the occasion and
nature itself provided a beautiful
natural background of trees and shrub-
bery for the setting.
An improvised platform and a beau-
tiful trellis was arranged in such a
manner that the players entered the
platform through the trellis.
The lighting’ was arranged in the
background in such a way as to
cast a beautiful glow on the costumes,
which were really the treat of the eve-
ning.
There were an array of butterflies
which were ja marvelous spectacle in
themselves, and flowers of all kinds.
Miss Elizabeth Lowe made the fol-
lowing announcement in behalf of the
teachers: “The teachers wish to ex-
press their appreciation to all those
who assisted us to present our enter-
tainment, in particular, Mr. Girton,
our principal; Mr. Spencer, our jani-
tor, and the parents, who have faith-
fully cooperated with us; Mr. Kester
and his boys, who built the stage;
Miss Robinson and her girls, who
helped to make costumes for the
fifth and sixth grades and made
posters; Paul Shaver, who arranged
the lighting, the Pikes Creek and East
Dallas * thurches, A. CC. Kelly of
Trucksville and Fernbrook Park man-
agement, through whose kindness
seating was made possible.”
Never before has such a large crowd
attended a local school performance.
The program started with the appear-
ance of the Garden Girls, who were:

State Game Commission Engineers
Running Lines On Thousands of;
Acres of Wilderness Land
~
Fifteen thousand acres of wild land
recently purchased by the State in the
wilderness above Noxen is being sur-
veyed by a corps of civil engineers
under the direction of Frank P.
Plessinger, chief surveyor; J. D. Rich-
ards, his assistant, a crew of four
members, J. B. Cox, Louis Dutter,
Francis McGee and John Patrician.
The game and forestry departments
of the State own about 151,000 acres
in the region stretching over sections
of Wyoming, Luzerne, Lycoming,
Bradford and Sullivan counties. For
many years the State has leased land
owned by Colonel Trexler of Allen-
town and which lies in this region.
The lease expires in 1932 and will
probably not be renewed. In the past
the Trexler lands have been used as
|a game refuge and the area has been
surrounded with a single strand wire
fence and a fire path. If the Trexler
lands are for sale when the lease ex-
pires it is likely that the State will
purchase the area.
Lands now being surveyed include
those in the recent State purchase.
Not long ago the State bought the
entire stumpage of the Central Penn-
sylvania Lumber Company at a cost
of $3 per fcre. Beside using the

Rural League Tightens Up As Season
Nears Half Way Mark—Dallas
Drops First Game In Ten Inning
Tilt—East Dallas Here Saturday
One of. the largest crowds of the -
season turned out at Beaumont Sat-
urday to see the home boys and Dal-
las btatle through a ten-inning game
which went to Beaumont by an 8-7
Ken Oliv er was the starting pitcher
for Dallas but seemed unable to get
|
going and was the victim of a heavy
barrage of hits which netted Beau-
mont three runs in the first frame,
after which Jerry Fortner was sent to
the mound and only for errors at
critical times would have had the ball
game sewed up.
For Beaumont, old reliable “Doc”
{ Traver was on the mound and gave his
usual exhibition of how to toss them
up by holding Dallas to eight hits and :
making twelve batters fan the breeze.
Ad Woolbert played a bang-up game
at first base, while Ray, Stitzer and
Reese did most of the hitting for Dal-
las. Beaumont featured with some
fast field work and completed two
double plays while story and Maec-
Dougall were the heavy stickers for
the home club with the latter making
one of the longest hits to be seen at
Beaumont for some time. In the other
Rural League games East Dallas went
into second place by crowding out
Alderson in a slugfest to win 10 to 8.
Idetown and Noxen did not play owing
to an error in the schedule, but ar-
rangements will be made to have the
game played later.

Blight Attacks
Cultivated Trees
Many Luzerne County Fruit Trove:
Are in Danger, Says County Farm
Agen:
A heavy infection of fire blight has
become apparent in Luzerne county
on many fruit trees during the past
ten days, states J. D. Hutchison,
county agent. This infection is the
heaviest reported in a number of
years.
Fire blight, commonly known as
pear ~ blight, generally makes its ap-
pearance during the early part of the
season when it appears in the form of
a twig blight throughout the blossomn-
ing period of pears and apples. From
two weeks to a month after the period
of pollination, the blossoms and tips
begin to wilt and show signs of gzZen-
eral blackening, resulting finally in the
complete blackening and death of all
branches or spurs upon which flower
attacks the young guclant terminal
growth. |
The progress of this disease is or-
dinarily very thoroughly indicated by:
the appearance of tne bark. The,
growth of the organism within the.
tissue of the bark causes a water-.
soaked appearance and finally a
blackening and shriveling. Much of
the infection is caused by insects dur-.

territory as a game refuge, reforesta-~
tion projects will be begun under the!
direction of the State department of
forests.
Located far away from improved |
highways and in the heart of one of |
the wildest mountain regions in
Pennsylvania, the surveyors are en-
countering many difficulties, as most
of the traveling and work must be]
done on foot, camping supplies, |
scientific instruments being carried in |
packs on the shoulders of the men.
Mr. Plessinger reported to the Tunk- |
[hannock Republican last week that in|
[one day’s travel through the woods his
[crew recently saw eight coveys of |
young grouse ,one fawn, one wood-
{cock’s nest and three red fox puppies. |
Deer abound in the region and it]
is not uncommon to see bear and|
many other varieties of wild life.
The crew has nothing to do with
the surveying of the forestry lands)
but is only concerned with the lands
owned by the Game Commission. A
score of years ago a woodsman could
have traveled over the entire section
finding little trace of deer. Today,
with the work done in that region by
the Game Commission in releasing
deer and providing feed during the
severe winter seasons, hundreds of
