(Continued from Page 2)
‘rect, direct frontage on the county
talk about it in a great democracy
‘highway is available. The two plots
have been quoted at about the same
price.
As a citizen of this township hav-
ing no personal favoritism for either
plot, I can’t see two cents worth of
difference between the two, as places
for a school. One is back from the
road and hence cannot be readily seen
by passing motorists. But on the oth-
in er hand it isn’t a bad idea to protect
school children from passing motorists.
One lies east and west, straight up the
Hin, but on the other hand here is a
problem of situation out of which a
competent architect can make an im-
posing feature. A person can visualize
a fine looking and efficient school on
either site.
But the main feature is that this
weighing of qualities of respective
sites is likely to go on for years. The
board took action to buy the Shaver
~~ plet. Property holders and real es-
~~ tizen of the township to take hands
case will have to lie over until
. men to act on this question according
' ment elected to responsible positions.
~ It isn’t the easiest thing for people
would be surprised at the extent to
tor made a statement in his testimony
. arisen that in one case a school dir-
‘tate promoters in the neighborhood of
the Holcomb plot backed injunction
proceedings. The chances are the
the
March term of court. Then if finally
the Board rescinds’ its resolution to
buy the Shaver plot, and instead of
that moves to buy the Holcomb plot,
‘there is sure to be reprisal in the form
of a counter injunction. The street
car company will profit thereby, for
~ by that time Kingston township chil-|
dren will have to start going to Wil-
kes-Barre high schools.
There is not enough difference be-
tween these two plots to justify this
fight. Neither is ideal but neither is
‘undesirable. The children of the
township rather joyfully welcome the
‘prospect of a school on either plot,
just s0 they get a new school. The
township is simply being riddled by
a passion for being contrary.
I believe the plaintiff in this in~
junction case should withdraw his ac-
tion, On the other hand I believe the
owner of the Shaver plot should ass
sure the Board that he will reave it
free to continue or withdraw its pro-
ceedings of purchase without any fear
of legal reprisal in either case. The
. ~~ Board members at their first Decem-
N._ ber meeting should
feel
independent and
themselves
free as intelligent
to its merits, and go ahead fearlessly.
In the meantime a binding obligation !
of great importance rests on every ci-
off the, members of the Board, and
let them act as men of good judge-
“who know their own property will be
raised in value by having the school
‘in their neighborhood to get out of
the obstructionist parade, but some
things rate even above cash market
values,

PRUNE APPLE TREES
COUNTY AGENT URGES
Luzerne County apple growers can
take advantage of favorable late fall
weaether by pruning their trees, says
County Agent J. D. Hutchison.
In accordanee with recommendations
of the past few seasons,
fruit specialist of State College are
again urging slight pruning each year
extension
rather than heavy slashing at longer
intervals,
Fall Druning is just as desirable,
from a practical standpoint, as late
winter or early spring pruning, pro-
vided the trees have gone fully into
dormancy.
If judicious pruning has been prac-
ticed .in the past, large cuts will not
be necessary. However, if large cuts
have to be made, it is advisable to
apply some good building paint to the
wounds, or special preparations manu-
factured for this purpose may be us-
ed.
Pruning peach trees at this time
o
G. Elson Ruff, pastor of the Lutheran
church. After an extended wedding
trip the couple will reside at Drexel
Hill, Philadelphia. Mr. Doyle fs con-
nected with the Radio department of
of the year is not recommended, Mr,
Hutchison explains, because of the se=
verity of winter weather conditions,
An extremely cold wave may kill the
peach buds and in that case the prune
ing would have to be done again or
modified in the spring.
The following pruning demonstra=
tions have been scheduled for next
week :— vid
