OBERAMMERGAU PASSION PLAY
AT SHAVERTOWN M. E. CHURCH
The Shavertown Troop : of Boy
Scouts, No. 231, are distributing litera-
ture and also selling tickets for the
showing of the Oberammergau Passion
Piay to be given on Monday evening,
April 20, in the Shayvertown M. E.
church.
The Oberammergau ‘Passion Play is
given once in ten years in the village
of Oberammergau, Germany, The last
performance was given this past sum-
mer. There were only 25 sets of slides
made of this play. Rev. H. F. Randolph,
of Wilkes-Barre, was fortunate to be
able to purchase one of these sets. His
first showing was in his own ehurch,
the Central M. E. church, of Wilkes-
Barre. He had an audience of about
1,200 people, ali of whom were so well
pleased with this lecture that they
have asked to give it again in the near
future.
This showing on Monday evening
will be the. first one given in the entire
Wyoming Valley outside of Rev. Rana!
dolph’s home church. The people of
this community should grasp this rare
opportunity to see these life-size slides
and hear this excellent lecture on such
an interesting subject. From the en-
thusiasm shown at present, a very
large audience is expected.
The proceeds will be used for the
purchase of uniforms.
Annual Egg Hunt
Was Great Success
Dallas Rotary Club Sponsored the
munity Event—3,000 Eggs Hidden
The. annual Easter Egg Hunt spon-
sored by the Dallas Rotary Club took
place as per schedule at Fernbrook
Park on Saturday afternoon last at 2
o'clock. The day was an ideal spring
‘ever-participacedl mn this big commu-
‘nity event.
“The: rcommittee in charge had left
{nothing undone in ‘making the ar-
rangements. ‘There werps three sections
of the paprk roped eoff—one for each
group. of children in the ¥Arious age
ranges, and it is noteworthy that none
of the park roped off—one for each
an attempt to encroach on the bound-
aries set aside for the other.
It is estimated that at ‘east 3,000
eggs were placed in the different hid-
ing places—those having numbers -or
writing on them entitling the finder.to
a prize. The Dallas Troop of Boy
Scouts were on hand early and assisted
greatly in making the affair the suc-
cess it was. : Site
The Dallas Rotary Club and its
energetic committee cannot be too
highly commended for its interest in
this back mountain community event
and this year’s hunt will go/down in
Rotarian history as being easily the
most successful one of all times.

Gives Advice On
Forest Fires
Twelve Possibilities That May Occur
From Forest Fires Caused By Care-
less Persons When Wandering in
the Woods
REPORT FOREST FIRES AT ONCE
The problems of preventing forest
fires during the past three years has
become a problem for the forest fire:
wardens in this particular section, as
many men have been out of work and
are journeying. - through the Wooded
sections for the pleasure and to enjoy |p
nature in its prime. While ourneying
through the woods one sho 1d aways
remember the valuable territory that
he is treading upon, and sheuld be
Jjeareful with the lighted match which
he is using to light that cigarette or
pipe, for many times a forest fire has
been traced to a match which ha¥ been
used to light a smoke.
It iss suggested that Horsons’ who
journey through the woods do not
smoke, especially during the. dry sea-
son, which would mean all the time.
Some fires are- also traced to incen-
dary causes aso, but in very few cases.
The person setting a forest fire thinks
probably -he may earn Some money
while fighting fire, but he is only kid-
ding himself, for the warden ques-
tions him upon his arrival at the scene
of the disaster. The warden through’
his training can almost always tell
whether or not a person is guilty, al-
though not always, for some people al-
ways 100k suspicious. The warden has
a trained crew to do the fighting and
very seldom calls op men outside of
the crew to help him, as he knows
nothing of their ability to fight a for.
est fire.
Every able bodied citizen can help
the State Department of Forests and
Water in preventing forest fires by
keeping watch on suspicious people,
who roam the woods for the so-called
pleasure tours, which often turn out
to be a disastrous forest fire which
causes ‘hundreds of dollars of damage.
People se.dom think about the damage
done by forest fires, but I would like
to take them to burned areas and
point out the damage which is not seen
by ‘the average: person who roams the
woods. The damage is not. seen right
after the fire, but is noticed in the
years to follow. We must all remem-
ber that we plant the seeds from which
our children shall reap the ha ves, : ‘We
s ‘plenty
and not think in a selfish mood. Peo-
pie often think the forest problems are
handled by the forest officers which the
State appoints in the various parts. In:
one way they do handle these ques-:
tions and problems, but not themselves
alone, for’ the general public must co-
operate with these forest officers and
work with them.
What Forest Fires Do
The first thing every boy and girl
should know about forest fires is the
fact that they do no good. They bring
no benefits to mankind, for. damage
and loss are the results of their work.
It would require much space to discuss
fully the 'woss caused by forest fires.
The following outline will show some
of the damage which they do:
1. Forest fires destroy the beauty
and’value of a region.
2. They destroy the animal
p,lant life of the forests.
3. They destroy the seeds and seed-
lings which would develop into stately
and
stands of timber.
4. 'They kill enormous quantities of
growing timber.

"Board Appeals the
+ Howell Decision
Will Have Hearing in Howell Case
Before Compensation Board in
Wilkes-Barre, Friday. April 24
Sum of $4,800 Involved
MAY APPEAL TO COUNTY COURTS
Kingston township school board will
make an appeal before the State Com-
(pensation Board meeting in Wilkes-
‘Barre April 24, from the decision re-
cently. handed down by Compensation
Referee Asa Lewis in favor of Mrs. Z.
F.,~Howell and daughter, Marjorie
Howell, in the sum of $4,800 damages
resulting from the death of Z. R. How-
ell, former supervising principa: of
ngston township schools, who was
Killed in an automobile accident while
en route to the State ‘School Directors
Potvention in Harrisburg in February,
9
If the Compensation Board returns
an unfavorable decision the school
board may still carry the case to the
county courts and to the State su-
preme courts.
In the recent trial before the Com-
pensation Referee the school board,
through its attorney, Grenvilie Clark,
contended that Z. R. Howell attended
the convention in Harrisburg for his
own business and pleasure. This point
was repudiated by the evidence of the
school board’s minutes for February
and March, 1930, which had been hand-
ed over to the referee and showed that
as supervising principal Mr. Howell
had been asked to attend the meeting
in order to attend to certain school
business pertaining to the payment of
tuition by students boarding in Kings-
ton township and attending school
there, but whose families lived in
other townships. The minutes of the
February board meeting contating
these entries were approved by the
entire school board at its March, 1930,
meeting.
The second contention of the school
board was that the deceased received
injuries. which resulted in his death in
an automobiie accident as the result of
violation of the State traffic laws. The
plaintiff presented two witnesses to re-
fute this contention. Edwin Hay, a
member of the school board, who was
a passenger in the automobile at the
time Mr. Howell was injured, testified
that when the Howell automobile cut
out of line to pass traffic there was no
approaching automobile within 125
yards, “Rev. Campbell; of Berwick,
testified that the slippery condition o1
the road and not man faiiure was the
cause of the accident. Rev. Campbell
was the driver of the other automobile
which featured in the collision with
the Howell machine.’ Attorney Roger
Devers represented Mrs. Howell and
daughter, Marjorie, in the case.
It. was further brought out ‘in the
trial. that. although, Mr. ‘Howell, who
was then a candidate for superintend-
ent of Luzerne county schools, hoped
to meet many directors at the con-
vention, the main purpose of his at-
tendance was to look after businnss
for Kingston township schoo's.
On what basis the Kingston town-
ship board hopes to show that Referee
Lewis erred in his decision is not
known, but if the board receives an
unfavorable decision from the compen-
sation board, impartial observers be-
lieve that the directors will carry their
case to the Luzerne county courts. and
if necessary to the State courts. Such?
action’ would probably delay any ac-
tion until after the forthcoming elec-
tion and would in all -likelihood be
good. peoiitics on the part of the board.
The case has been of unusual inter-
est to Kingston - township taxpayers,
since the school board carried no com-
pensation insurance its policy having
expired two years prior to the time of,
the accident and a decision unfavor-
able to the board. would mean in-
creased taxes in the township. The
amount to be paid, $4,800, would ex-
tend over a period of ten years.until
Marjorie Howell, daughter of the de-
ceased supervising principal, reaches
the age of 16. NIH
According to State law a school
board has the option of carrying com-
pensation or not, but if it does not
carry , compensation it cannot. avoid
paying compensation in case of acci-

IN THIS SECTION
Has Had a Most
Interesting Career
James Calladine, of Fernbrook, Is a
Master On All Band Instruments—
Cornet Soloist in England
‘We have here in our locality a musi-
cian who has enjoyed a very interest-
ing career, James Calladine, of Fern-
brook, who has opened:a studio in his.
home for. the teaching:of all band \in-
struments, has had many year§ ex-
perience in every branch of the art of
music and has been associated with
some of the finest tnusical organiza-
tions both in this country and abroad.
In England, as a young man, he held
the position of cornet soloist with the
‘celebrated Robin! Hood's: Rifle Band of
Nottingham.
He -was Principal Musician of the
Second Regiment Infantry Band, P. N.
G., and held this. position until honor-
ab.y discharged, from the service.
Mr. Calladine has conducted the or-
chestra of the Memorial Sunday School,
Wilkes-Barre, for thirty-two ey
which is an unequalled record of faith-
ful service. He reorganized the Thistle
Band of Plains and established him-
self as an able "eader and conductor of
recognized ability.
The well loved. and famous J. I
Alexander, conductor of the celebrated
Alexander Band of Wilkes-Barre, en-
gaged Mr. Calladine as one of his chief
musicians and librarian. This post he
served for fifteen years and during
that time composed several band seiec-
tions, which were" featured by the
band. z
During his career he has as a teacher
produced many musicians who have in
turn successfully made a profession of
the art.
Due to the fact that so many people,
in the community served by this paper,
have asked him to take them as stu-
dents he has decided to open a music
studio in his home and teach on a
larger scale than heretofore,
He has also taken the agency for]
“King” band instruments, distributed
by the Gage Musical Service Company
of Wilkes-Barre. After carefully test-
ing all availabe makes of instruments
to find a reliable make he can recom-
mend, he has chosen “King” instru-
ments as the make which will aid the
player to progress most rapidly.
‘Mr. Calladine is also very much in-
terested in the formation of a band for |
this locality. He states that there are
numerous first-ciass musicians in the
back mountain region, who, if organ-
ized and properly led, would be able
to compete with any of the bands now
located in this section of the State. If
interested in forming ‘a band for the
back mountain section, kindly get in
touch with Mr. Calladine, and he will
give the necessary adviee as to the
forming of such a musical organiza-
tion.
MERIDIANS WIN AFTER
THREE EXTRA PERIODS
Fans Treated to An Extra Three Period
Session When Meridians Defeat the
Strong Edwardsville Team 47-46
What was to have been the closing
game of the basketba'.l season for the
Meridian team on Wednesday evening,
ended in such a whirlwind fashion and
was so replete with thrills and sensa-
tional plays, that at the urgent request
of both the fans and the losing team,
another game will be staged at Meri-
dian Hall next Wednesday evening,
when the Edwardsville team will again
oppose the locals.
So hard-fought and closely matched
were the opposing players, that three
extra periods were necessary to decide
the game, At the end of the fourth
quarter the score was 36-36. It was de-
cided to play an extra five-minute
period and both teams succeded in cag-
ing six points each, again tieing the
scroe at 42-42. Another three-minute
period was played and again each team
obtained another four points, tieing at
46-46. A. third ‘extra period of three
was entered into and the Meridians
snared a basket on a foul toss, making
the score 47-46, in favor of the home
boys.
Those desiring £03 see a game that is
equal to any of the “big league stuff”
will do well to attend next Wednesday
evening’s game, whey they are assured
of ‘getting their money's worth in ex-
citement and pleasure. There wiil be

In Near Future
NEW PASTORS BRILLIANT MEN
By M. C. Hewitt
With the exception of . Alderson
Noxen and Centremoreland chargés all
Methodist churches in the back moun=
tain district will have new pastors as
the result of changes made at the 80th
session of Wyoming Conference held in
Wilkes-Barre last week.
+The announcement of changes comes
as a surprise in many instances, but
was not unexpected in several of the
charges. There were several trans- f
fers of ministers from local churches
to churches in other districts.
Shavertown 2
Rev. Harry Henry, for “eight years 3:
pastor of Shavertown, M. E. church,
goes to Binghamton district as pastor
of Central church, Endicott. The ap-~
pointment is an advancement for Rev.
Henry, who during his pastorate at.
Shavertown has been the motivating
force behind the: construction of a new
$50,000 church and has. seen the cons
gregation under his direction increase
its membership from 200 to 600." Rev.
Henry has been active in ail civie en-
terprises. He is a past pfesident of
Mt. Greenwood Kiwanis Club. and was
captain of the Welfare Drive in the.
back mountain region. Central church
to which he has been appointed ds one.
of the finest in the Binghamton dis-
trict. It was built at a cost of $150,000
during the pastorate of Rev. Joseph:
Pennell, former pastor of Dallas M. E.
church, who was assigned to Central
church some years ago.
Rev. D. M. Corkwell, pastor last year
of Luzerne M. E. church, comes to
Shavertown. Rev. Corkwell is a young
man of outstanding ability, who has
done excelent work in the Luzerne
church -and through his energy and
tenacity has held the Luzerne church
up to its high standard even in the
face of a decreasing congregation be-
cause of the closing of the mines in
Luzerne. Rev. Corkwell is married and
has one child. . '
Trucksville 3
Rev. .A. J. Chapman, pastor of
Trucksville M. E. church is transferred
to Vestal M. E. church in the Bing-.

a host of friends and goes to the Ves-
tal charge with the best wishes of the
entire community.
Rev. J. Rolland Crompton, foreny.
of Meshoppen, whose father is pastor
at Pittston, comes to the Trucksville
