Subscription, $2.00 Per Year (Payable in Advance) ~ “Get acquainted with your competitor you may like him” is a good thought. Why not fight in this game of : business and politics the same as we do in athletic games. If an opponent beats us by fair methods, more power to him. We do not hate a man because he is a better golfer that we are. SH * f A moviment was started this week which may have ‘culmination in the establishment of a hospital in the ~ back mountain region. Those back of the project have been assured strong financial [MUNITY support and meetings will be held within [OSPITAL the next few weeks to determine public sentiment with regard to the project. ¥ Those instrumental in starting the movement believe at there is a need in this county for a hospital located on gh ground amid quiet surroundings and away from dis- ‘tracting noises of city traffic. It is their belief that there ‘are many suitable locations for such a hospital in the back I ountain region and if established that such a hospital vould meet with the united support of towns in Wyoming [ ounty as well as all of the communities of the back moun- tain region and many of the communities of Wyoming Val- surgeons and nurses can ot work efficiently among the distracting noises of city traffic. ~ r eT ‘Such a hospital would be non sectarian and free from 1 commercial connections. It would be a community en- erprise backed by some of the wealthiest men of the re- gion. It is one of the ideals of the backers to get away from the old millionaire and pauper idea in the manage- ment of the hospital.

Nathan Hale had only one life to give to his country but plenty of mo- dern patriots had only one vote to give for five dollars. If the fire company could souce all fires like it does its clam bakes, in. surance men would soon be out of business. : Excitement ran high at the polling places in Kingston township where there was unusual interest in = the school director contest. In one of the polling places partisan supporters were not content to fight it out at the polls, but resorted to fighting it out with fists outside of the polls. Enthusiastic supporters of candidat. es and tickets had most of the polling places, bridges, poles and sHuildings in the vicinity of the polls covered with pictures and cards of their favorite candidates long before the actual vo- ting began. The day was ideal to get a large number of voters out. Before nine o'clock it was evident that the largest vote in the history of the back moun- tain section would be polled. It. cost $300., last Saturday day for the county to move two trucks loaded with gravel from the county line near Centermoreland to the county road near the Ambrose West Farm. Ten men were employed to fill the trucks and forty to unload them. Men employed doing the work were so dis- gusted that fully half of them voted against the county organization in the primaries. Elections board officials appeared to take a keen interest in explaining the voting machine and everything . pos. sible was done to help the voter under. stand its workings. : Dallas borough voters were confus- ed when they found all of the candi- ates for school director listed under the six year term with instructions to vote for one. The mechanism of the machine was set for one vote so that it was impossible . to cast two votes. Two directors are to be elect- that all three candidates, Jack Rob. erts, Dr. G.'K. Swartz and J. T. Jeter will run again in the November elec- tion. -K unkle- Mr. and Mrs. Charles Herdman, Mr. and . Mrs. Victor Rydd, Miss Emily Shoemaker and Alvin Meeker were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. L.
