In the opening games of the Bi- County Basketball league, Friday night, Dallas cagers defeated the lL.eh- man boy's team by a score of 28 to 18 but not without a grim struggle being put up by a game and fighting ' Lehman team. In the girls’ game the tables were reversed with winning by a score of 19 to 13. Lehman The Dallas boys’ team made a fine | showing in new suits of blue and gold. } Matushowitz was easily ‘the star for the borough team and being a new comer in the borough attracted coun- siderable attention from the large au- dience that backed the borough teams in their first game of the season. All the players filled their positions weil and gave evidence that they are out to capture the championship of the Bi-County League. Sutton, Matusho- witz, Van Campen, La Bar, Coolbaugh, Besteder and Disque make a combina- tion that at ‘this early date looks hard to beat. Playing for Lehman were, Bud Winters, Emery Elston, Elwood Renshaw, Benny Rusiloski and Fred Winters. : Girls’ Defeated in the girls’ game the Dallas team appeared weak in its guarding, yet all played hard in a determined ef- fort to stop the advance of such point makers as Cannor and Lyons, Lehman forwards. Kinsman at center and Par- rish at side center played stellar gam- es for Lehman but frequently met their Waterloo in opposition from the Dallas centers Kintz and Templin. Kintz played an especially good game. Observers are of the opinion that Culp who is playing forward on the Dallas team should be playing in her old position at side center. Fedor is an unusually good forward as was Culp but the latter player showed unusual in her position and Searfoss as ability last year as side center. Anson guards played an unusually good game for Lehman. Matchell and Roberts for Dallas will whip as. they ‘ain more experience in the guard po- sition. During the time that she play- ed in a center position Meade showed into shape fine possibilities. 0 GAS WELL FORCES SCHOOL TO CLOSE NY, 20.— Wayne, ‘Watkins Glen, January School children in a village here, holiday yesterday because the of distracted them from their studies. hundredth pear had a roar a new gas weil The - well, the one yo Tyrone field, was yf colded in ths W ayne- drilled by Jchn Carpenter, The initial flow was 400,00{0 feet a aay. os ELECTRIC RATE LOW ERED Light comjPany an- killowatt Harvey's Lake nounces a cent drop per all residence and cojmmercial consumers in the thirty § kilowatt This is the second i 'eduction the year hour to block. made by thecompany within and will mean a saving of J $3,600 a to Increagfed con- year consumers.

Laing fire company holds its benefit dance. There | wifl be square and round dancing on ithe program with one of the best call- ers In the region in charge. The or- ‘chestra has been bdicked especially for its reputation in playing for combina- ‘tion dances. Since the fire company spent a con- siderable amount of its funds at Christmas time to assist the needy of the community, it is now in need of funds to replenish its treasury for the work of the fire company in keep- ing the truck and equipment in shape for community emergencies in case of fire. 2 In order that the whole community can share in this work. whether in- dividuals expect to attend the dance or not, tickets will be sold throughout the borough by boys and girls a few days prior to the dance. The tick- ets are priced at twenty-five cents, the sum being set low enough so that all may assist by buying one. In time of emergency or need the fire company never fails in its duty and now that the citizens ,are asked to assist the company they will not fail in meeting the obligation. | For those who care to dance, the program scheduled for Kunkle Corm- munity Hall will afford plenty of fun, amusement and pleasure and the fire- men are planning to make it an event long to be remembered.

Tomorrow Evening The new banking house of the First National Bank, Dallas, \Pa., shows the bank modern trend in architecture, using, as it does, ‘traditional funda- mental principles of design expressed in the free spirit evident in the newer metropolitan financial buildings. There is in it none of the old classic sever- ity. Charming proportions and ener- getic atmosphere are evident through- out. \ ! The prominent site, on Main street, calls for an exterior of dignity, sta- This has been achieved in a facade which rises to an extreme height of thirty-three : feet, clothed in selected face brick of soft hue, whose precise pattern is re=- ileved ‘with crisp and hand-carved stone ornament. bility and some grandeur. appropriate In com=- trast with the carved stone, the main entrance door and window are embel- lished with richly modeled metal ar- chitrave and spandrels. ‘The contrast between intricately fashioned metal embellishment and the smooth solidity of the stone is striking effec- tive. The stone carvings are further accented with discs and plaques of imported marble. The exterior windows are of impres- slvely large size in order to adequat- ely daylight the interior. On account of their size, they are especially con- structed of steel, with ornamental steel this ‘| exterior trim. Interior Arrangement Yn a building of thirty-one feet fron- tage and sixty-five feet long, there are included, conveniently arranged, the many and diverse accomodations ve- quired in present day bank design. From the sidewalk one enters through a marble-wainscoted vestibule directly into the spacious public lobby. The ladies’ retiring room occurs at the far end of the lobby. The open and pri vate offices occur at the rig} lobby, immediately upon ente? JO Aem behind them is the space used by the | working force. At the rear are loca- ted the vault, safe deposit department, the book vault, comfort rooms, and the stairway to the rear mezzanine and basement. On this rear mezzanine are located the directors room and storage room. Public Lobby The public lobby is flanked by a banking screen. of fine cabinet work constructed of especially selected oak finished antique silvery gray, and em- bellished with wickets of cast and ex- truded bronze, which contrast with #2 ) polished plate glass of the screen. The father, | floor of the public lobby is of marble chips, polished in cement matrix, a type of floor which has the practical advantage of durability and cleanli- ness and is pleasing in the harmonious blending of its colors with the other decorative materials in the room.
