Well, here we are again folks, but
we will have to make it short and
snappy 'today as we are going to a
big “political” rally down Shavertown
way tonight.
Not much doing in this neck of the
woods during ‘the past week. Ran in-
to “Hod” Jenkins the other day feeling
fine and waiting for the time when
Harley Mission calls for the first fall
meeting of thé Spit and Argue club
which meets. nightly at George Shav-
er’'s barber shop. /
I'll bet three bucks on Cornell
against Pennsylvania on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, “Hod” Jenkins sald to George
Appleton the elevator man and
took him up. x :
Now that the roadside inns are clos-
ing for the winter, even more people
will mistake the cat-tail fields for hot
dog gardens.
After looking over his car with its
two rear view mirrors, its searchlight,
cigar lighter, nickelplated spare tire
carrier, and tourist trunk, Jim Be-
secker; said, “I guess I've got vary:
thing on I can a Ford.
Life's Little’ Agonies
It was custumary for the congrega-
tion to repeat the 23rd Psalm in un-
ison, but ‘invariably Mrs. Speilfast
would keep a dozen words ahead of
all the rest.
“Who,” asked the visitor of an old
church member one Sunddy, “was the
lady who was already by the still wat-
~ ers, while the rest of us were lying
down in green pastures?’
It takes more than a set of resolu-
tions to make a depression get well.
They have tried everything to bring
prosperity back to consciousness but
{ artificial respiration.
This month mark's the advent of
fall, the World Series is now over,
and with the brushing aside of the
world’s series, football comes into its
own and chilly days of Indian summer.
With, the close of Football on Thanks-
giving Day we can all turn our atten-
tion to another Christmas and New
Year’s Day. The Wheels grind along
as season follows season and already
trees on the hillsides here and there
‘are turning their leaves to many col-
ors.

TO BE
TAXES
ki DUE IN DECEMBER
On petition of Tax Collector Milton
Neyhart and the township school’
board, Luzerne County Courts last’
Thursday handed down an order’
granting an extension of time for im-|
position of penalty on unpaid school,
taxes, to extend from October 1 to
The order says that after December!
1, the tax collector shall proceed ac-!
cording to the school code. The peti-;
tion of Tax Collector Neyhart stated
that the imposition of the penalty at!
this time would be an injustice to the
taxpayer. His petition was accom-:
panied by a ‘res
school board meeting last Tuesday,
evening, on a motion made by Howard
Appleton. :
TO HOLD BACK PENALTIES
WILL HELP MANY
Now that Tax Cpllector Milton Ney-
hart has the authority, there is no
doubt that he will heed the requests
of the members of the township
school board in asking that people
who are unable to pay taxes today to
bé exonerated from the penalties that
would be imposed on October 1. The
penalty of five percent, would undoub-
tedly be a hardship to many had it
been imposed. Conditions, it is believ-
ed, will improve in the near future
and many who are unable to pay the
tax today will cheerfully do thelr part
a little later in bearing a share of the
expenses in the interest of education.
They should not be forced to pay a
penalty on the taxes.
The action taken by the school
board is meeting with the approval of
every one.
HUNTERS MAY SHOOT
DOE AND BUCK DEER
The Board of Game Commissioners
has passed a resolution declaring an
open season on both sexes of deer in
the entire State of Pennsylvania from
December 1 to December 15, 1931, in-
clusive, Sundays excepted.
The bag limit shall be one deer per
man; in other words a hunter may
kill either a buck or a doe. No more
than six deer of the combined sexes
shall be taken in one camp. The reso-
lution further provides that antlerless
deer so taken shall weigh at least 40
pounds with entrails removed. Bucks
must have two or more. points to one
antler,
A hunter’s license issued in one
county will be valid in all counties
for both sexes of deer without a spe-
cial charge. Special licenses and fees
were eliminated by the 1931 legisla-
ture, which conferred power on the
Game Commission to declare an open
season on both sexes at the same
time.

HEVALIER, the suave, the deb-
4 onair, has the most ferocious of
hobbies—boxing. At big fights he
may be seen close up to the ring-
side—and heard, too, for the
‘Chevalier effervescence which movie
fans love reaches its peak at a
hard-fought bout. He can name
you champions ‘and prospective |,
«champions with their records and
‘weights and training methods. He
himself loves to box and in France
often had his friend, Georges Car-
pentier, as a sparring partner.
Though he radiates gaiety, Chev-
:alier’'s story has its dark chapters.
He was born in the poorest part
if of Paris-and his boyhood was a
series of jobs—with a joiner, a
«chandler, a nail manufacturer—all
«of which he lost because his mind
was always on the stage. At eleven
he became the “midgét comedian’
in a poor cafe and shortly after-
ward he met Mistinguette, the
«dancer for whose sake he later en-
gaged in a fist fight in an alley back
of the Folies Bergere. His flair for
boxing proved the downfall of his
rival and Chevalier became the
dancing partner and friend of the
~ famous revue star,
The war came to France when
Chevalier. was. doing his Pequired
MAURICE CHEVALIER ) \
military service and he was one of
the first poilus in the front line
trenches. It was at Outry, in the
east of France, that he fell in an
enemy ‘attack, a terrible shell
wound in .his lung. He regained
consciousness in a German hospital
and as soon as he could be moved
was sent to the prison camp at
‘Alten Grabow. - Though suffering
and in prison, he promptly organ-
ized a series of concerts which so
fascinated the German Commandant
that Chevalier was given the free-
dom of the camp. One night when
all the officers were spellbound by
one of his concerts and the guard
was dreamily humming a strain
from his last song, Chevalier
walked out of the prison camp, dis-
guised as a field hospital attendant.
Through scrupulous care of him-
self Chevalier has offset the effect
of his war wound." He lives out of
doors as much as possible and is
notably temperate in all his habits.
Like the true Parisian that he is
he has never cared for strong
liquors. He misses, however, the
mild, sweet wines of France but
finds that American candies, par-
ticularly = fruit-filled chocolates
which he likes best of all, do much
to make up for the lack.

WHY NOT A REPRESENTATIVE
FROM BACK MOUNTAIN REGION
Twenty years have elapsed since a
‘Representative in the Legislature from
the Sixth legislative distfict has come
from the Back Mountain region.
Squire Harry Anderson of Dallas
was the last man from this region to
rold that office. Since that time Re-
presentatives have been elected from
Wyoming, West Pittston, Kingston
and other communities of the district
but none has come from the Back
Mountain region. In that period - of
time communities such as Dallas
township, Shavertown and Trucksville
have ftrebled their population but no
real ‘vote getter” has ever stepped
forward to ask for the important of-
fice of Representative.
Next Spring the Sixth district will
be faced with the duty of selecting
a new Representative for the General
Assembly, and there in no time like
the present for laying plans and look-
carry the banner of the Back Moun-

A pleasant surprise party was held
4t the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis
Ide on Friday evening to celebrate the
former’s twenty-third birthday anni-
versary. A variety of games were
played. Lunch was served to the fol-
lowing: Mr. and Mrs. Dean Shaver,
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Brandon, Mr. and

tain region in the Legislative con-
test. \ : :
There are 5,000 voters in the terri-
tory comprising the Back Mountain
region or one fourth of the potential
vote of the entire Sixth Legislative
district. Solidly supported by these
mountain communities a capable man
from' this région can be elected. {
What the whole territory needs is
more community consciousness and
more loyalty to its own men and in-
stitutions. With such a spirit back
of a local candidate they would be no
stopping him.
The Sixth Legislative district com-
prises the Dorranceton section,
of Kingston borough, Luzerne
Forty Fort, Wyoming, West Wyoming,
Exeter, Duryea, Swoyerville, Erwards-
ville, Pringle and the Back Mountain
townships. In the Back Mountain re-
gion the district is made up of Dallas
borough, ‘and township,’ Kingston,
Lake, Franklin, Lehman, Jackson and
Exeter townships.
Plenty of Material
There are plenty of good men fully
capable of serving in the legislature to
be found in these latter townships.
Probably the strongest man of all
would be the old campaigner Squire
Harry Anderson. ‘Squire ‘has a larxe
acquaintance throughout the commu-
nities of the Sixth district in Wyom-
‘ling Valley. His years as a newspap-
erman, base ball manager and as Re-
ing for capable men,in this region to,
‘made him a popular figure throughout
I the district. Beside that, he has a
| good head, knows borough and town-
| ship problems and is keenly interested
in State affairs. Al of which would
combine to make him a strong conten
der for the office. ;
In Dallas township Adam Kiefer is
outstanding. Mr. Keifer understands
the problems of big business and is
keenly interested in civic affairs?
Since his retirement from the Wo
and was a wonderful ‘vote
during the primaries when he ran f
school director of the township.
Kiefer would be a strong contende
in the districts of the West Side par~
ticularily Kingston, Forty Fort, Wy
oming, and West Pittston. The un.
animous support he would gét in the
iback mountain region combined, wi
the urban vote leads political obse: uh
ers to believe that: he could ‘not 'b
defeated.
If Harold N. Rust of Kingston to
ship could be persuaded to run ther
is hardly any doubt but that hée wot
carry pragtielly every district %
the Masonic organizations
brought his name before, the peppl
more than that of ‘any other man i
the Back Mountain region. Mr. Ru
wouls he peel strong in {ihe
ship; Dr. Ho A. Brown, of Lehman,
Edwin Hay, of Caverton; and Henn
Shaver of Shavertown. th
All of these men have the ability
fill the office capably. The difficul A
feature is to persuade them to run fo
office. Once they entered their nme
in the fight political activities in the
light and the real voting strength o
the Back Mountain region would com
into its own. } Ci
