Whenever the name of Jimmy Mit-
chell appears in a basketball box score
a high total of points follows his
name. Because such has been the case
last year and the year before. People
wondered why he didn't star while he
was eligible for West Pittston High.
The answer is easy, he didn’t have a
chance to develop.
he felt it was no use to make a seri-
ous bid for the varsity.

RADIO RECEPTION
During the past few days The Post §
has received a number of telephone
calls relative to radio interference
which was believed to have its origin
in the motors on the various presses
in the plaht. . Investigation proved that
only one of the motors was causing
any interference and this will be cor-
rected as soon as parts arrive from the
General Electric company to remedy
lit. We are anxious to do away with
all radio interference from this motor
and are sure from repeated investiga-
tion that only a very small part of the
radio interference in the community.
comes from The Post's plant. In ne
instance does the interference extend
over a distance further than a block
from the Post’s building.
