SOCIALIST
Against Hoover and Smith,
years ago, Idealist Norman Thomas,
who left the Presbyterian pulpit to
: champion the causes of Sociatism,’ re-
ceived 267,000 votes. Against Hoover
and Franklin D. Roosevelt this year,
Socialists predict, he will poll 2,000,000.
That would be 1,000 more than Eugene
Debs garnered 12 years ago. Even
2,000,000 won't elect him, but Thomas
xnows it will be a decided vetory for
Socialism and will make easier the
campaign to elect a Socialist president

SHOOTING
If he lives till 80, Anthony Constan-
tino, Jr., will never forget the corner
of Lewis avenue and Van Buren
street, Trooklyn, as it looked to him
this week when he saw his father
shoot a bullet into his mother’s body.
‘Because he saw his father come’ run-
ning after his mother, who was run-
ning away, Tony was forced to give
the police evidence that will probably

BATS NOT AS
PAINTED
“Bats are surely the most maligned
of mammals but quite unjustly so,”
8ays a new bulletin on Pennsylvania
Caves prepared by Ralph W. Stone,
aggistant State geologist in the bureau
of topographic and geologic survey,
Pennsylvania Department of Internal
Affairs.
Pennsylvania caves between Novem-
ber and. April are hibernating spots
for thousands of bats which make up
the seven species in the state. The
bulletin says “that from time immem-
orial bats have been associated with

mals and have so few bad traits that
anyone would find interest in a closer

the report adds that bats are among
the most cleanly of animals and be-
cause of their insect eating habits are
highly beneficial to man and worthy
of protection.”

Mt. Greenwood Kiwanis club will
hold a clam bake and corn roast at
Farmer's Inn, Lehman, on Thursday,
August 25, to raise money for the
club's Tonsil Fund. During the sum-
mer the club has done commendable
work in providing money for the ton-
sil operations performed on a number
of children in this vic.nity.
About thirty-five children from
Kingston township, Dallas township
and Dallas borough were cared for at
Nesbitt Memorial hospital in Kingston
and an additional eighteen underwent
operations at Kirby [Health center In

ations was assumed by the Mt. Green-

Fewer Divorces
In Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania divorce rate pre-
sents a much more favorable situa-
tion than the rate for the registra-
tion area of the entire United States,
according to figures released from the
Bureau of Vital Statistics, State De-
partment of Health, covering the year
1931. 5
For every eight marriages in this
state, one ended in the divorce courts;
while in the whole country, for every.
5.8 marriages, there was one divorce
recorded. These statistics show that
the percentage of marriages that are
successful remains greater in Pennsyl-
vania than in the United States Regis-
tration Area, which cover nearly the
entire union. ;

Enviable Records To or Sunday
School Attendance Reported
Twelve And Eight-Year
Records Held By Local
Youths
Two enviable records for perfect at-
tendance at Sunday schools in the vic-
inity of Dallas were reported this week
in response to the request made by
The Post in an effort to learn who in
the section has the best Sunday School
record.
Longer of the two reported was that
of Warren Scovell of Dallas. In a let-
ter to The Post, his sister, Miss Flor-
ence Scovell, writes: “IT started taking
my brother, Warfen, to Sunday School
at the age of six months. He has not
missed ‘a Sunday since and he is now
twelve years of age.” }
Miss Scovell neglected to name the
Sunday School where Master Warre:
has been such aii earnest pupil, but
the record stands as the longest re-
ported this week.
Another splendid record was report-
ed by Mrs. W. E. Miers of Trucks-
ville, who wrote that her son, Arthur
H. Miers, aged 16, has a perfect at-
tendance record for more than eight
years. He attends Lehman M. E. Sun-
day School. :
Mr. Miers reached the eight year
mark last Christmas and has had a
perfect attendance record to date. His
record is more praiseworthy when it
is considered that he has two miles to
walk each Sunday.

from others who are proud of Sunday
School attendance records. It is be-
lieved that modern young folk are ag
faithful in attendance as their parents
were. Sunday school superintendents,
clergymen or the record-holders them-
selevs are invited to write or telephone

Perrigo assisted by Mrs. Mary Kint-
zel, past State councillor, a chapter of
the Daughters of America, auxiliary
order to the Jr. O. U. A. M. has been
established in Dallas.
Instalation of the Todge to be
known as Mount Vale chapter was

Whole Milk Only
Milk drinks as sold at soda foun-
tains must be prepared with whole
milk and not skimmed milk or skim-
med milk powder. Thig is the edict
of State pure food officials. Chemists
have been assigned to the task of
checking up on these drinks which the
public buys, always with the expec-
tation that they are getting whole
milk.
YOUTHFUL ANGLER
KEEPS IN PRACTICE
Fishing is the sport of cat-
ching fish, not keeping them, in
the opinion of seven-year-old
James Fleming, son of Dr. J. M.
Fleming, East Waterford, Junia-
ta county, according to a report
received at the Fish ‘Commis-
sion. : !
Jimmy’s fishing ground is
Tuscarora Creek. Day after dav
this serious young angler 1s on
the stream, and he knows how to
catch the finny tribe. But after
he lands a fish, his system is
unique. Very thoughtfully he
removes his catch, when the
hook has been removed. Then,
without. the flicker of an eye-
lash, bagi he tosses it. The
process is} repeated, time and
it is said, seem to have spotted
Jimmy's lures as the safest to
be found anywhere.
Stull Bros., Score Big Suc-
cess With Motor-
cycle Events
Chugging laboriously up a steep in-
cline built on the mountainside at
Shavertown especially for the occasion
thirty-five professional motorcycle rid-
ers gave a thrilling exhibition last Sun-
day before about 4,000 persons, many
of whom came here from distant
points in Pennsylvania and New York.
The hill climb, the first to be held
in this vicinity in many years and re-
miniscent of the famous Giant's De-
spair races, was a decided success, de-
spite the protest of Shavertown
church people who objected to holding
the affair on Sunday and asked the
sheriff's office to bar it.
Because many of the contestants and
fans could find no other day in which
to attend and because the 325 foot,
35 degree incline was believed to be
far enough from residences 6 preven
a great deal of disturbance, the events
were permitted.
Gene Rhyne of Hollwood, Cal, made
the best time. Howard Mitzell, York,
and Joe Ubelackec, Rochester, won
other events. In the event for local
riders, Allen Covert of Courtdale went
over the top winner in sixteen seconds.
