Turns Back
Rural Five
Shavertown went a step higher in
dirst place when they defeated the
¥Trucksville five in a Rural League
game by the score of 48 to 19 at the
new Kingston township high school
before almost 400 fans.
The game 'was very fast and was
said to have been the best exhibition |
that Shavertown has displayed this
season. Shavertown’s quick passes
‘and fine dribbling mostly on the part
of Miles, proved to be too.much for
the boys from the Trucksville end of
the township. It was the fourth de-
feat for Trucksville and the fifth vic-
tory for Shavertown. Both teams op-
ened up like a flash with Shavertown
scoring first when Phillips broke
| through for a goal and was fouled,
aking the free throw count. Sor-
ber scored first for Trucksville at the
nd of the first quarter the score was
to 6 for Shavertown. ‘At the end
of the half the score was 13 to 12 for
Shavertown with both teams fight-
ng nip and tuck to get the lead.
rucksville led by one point 12 to 11,
iles then caged a goal to put Shaver-
town in the lead.
In the second half with Ad. Wool-
bert doing the biggest part of the
scoring Shavertown registered 20
points while Trucksville was able to
score but 4. With Phillips, Miles,
and Woolbert running up the score

Rule Reiterates
Need For Larger
School Districts
Believes Plan Is Vital Part
of Proposed
Economy
One satisfactory way to reduce
school costs is through establishment
of larger units of school administra-
tion, Dr. James N. Rule, State Super-
intendent of Public Instruction, saa
today in «discussing school
problems. The School Code is now
studied for revision during the
legislative session, and provision tor
| reduction in the number of school aa-
being
| ministrative units is contemplated.
| “The necessary factor in the whole
problem of financing public schoots,
either during this emergency or per-
he “is to group
schools into larger units so as to re-
duce school costs, increase the effici-
ency of school leadership, and at the
same time make possible the adjust-
ment of State aid to meet the varying
needs of school districts.’
The State Superintendent expressed
belief that unless some such action 1s
taken school costs may not be reducen
sufficiently to bring adequate relief to
the taxpayer without seriously injur-
ing the public school program. He
also believes that without this plan it
would be difficult to adjust State aid
on a basis of equalized distribution to
maintain a minimum educational pro-
gram in the poorer districts, unless
harmful reductions in State aid are
made to the more able districts where
progressive programs have been built
up after years of effort.
There is a dual approach to the so-
of the
equalized educational opportunities for

lution problem of getting
all children of the Commonwealth and
at the same time bringing relivf from
the burden of local taxes, he said. “On
the one hand we have equalization,
through a larger unit, of the ability of
school districts to support schools and
to administer them efficiently, and on
the other hand is equalization of State
support on the basis of ability to pay
taxes.” f=

The building was a three-story

by the blaze. The repairs will cost

In addition to the damage to the
building the congregation lost a valu-

But for the valient work of both Dr.

Asks For Co-operation
In Winter Game Feeding
A. day’s cold rain in-‘south-
ern Pennsylvania may bury the more
northern sections in a foot of snow.
Occasional periods of mild weather
do not affect the efforts of the Board
of Game Commissioners to make cer-
tain that the game animals and birds
responsible get
food.
Early snows in all sections of the
State covered completely, for several
weeks, the usual food sources for ani-
mals and birds. During that period
the winter feeding campaign was in-
tensified but following mild weather
did not stop the efforts.
Commission officials point out that
often the hunters from southern coun-
ties who make annual pilgrimages to
the more northern sections do not rea-
lize the: weather conditions which may
“I | prevail
in their favorite hunting
grounds.
Although the Commission's field
| forces spend much of the winter in
placing foods for the wild things of
the woods the great area that must be
covered necessitates the co-operation
of organizations and individuals.
Rural mail carriers are now per-
mitted to carry grain and other feed
on their routes. “To my friends of
the wild, care of the rural carrier” is
all the direction necessary to have
contributions of grain distributed in
rural sections.
Commission officials stress the nec-
essity of placing all food so that it
emi be accessible during heavy snows.

Cuts At Meeting Tues-

‘Wages for borough employees dur-
ing the coming year will be maintain-
ed at the same schedule as during the
past year. This point was definitely
decided at the meeting of Dallas bor-
ough council held Tuesday night.
Rates now in effect are 40 cents per
hour for laborers and 60 cents an hour
for the road superintendent. The
salary of the chief of police will re-
main the same as last year with an
equalization of the monthly payments
at $75 the year around instead of $50
for the winter months and $100 for |
the summer months as has been the |
practice heretofore,
Council plans to construct addition-

year although this work will not be as.

years, when two miles of new streets
were constructed. One mile of street

This improvement being made in face
of a four mill reduction in borough

Since the organization of the com-
pany its prograss and success is this
community have been marked. The
fire engine has been paid for in full
and now there are those in the organ-
ization who are seeking a plan where-
by the organization can secure its own
permanent home, During the past
year the company has purchased 300
of 1,300 feet in good condition. One
of the big yearly expense items which
the organization has to meet is that
of insurance. This item alone runs
about $300. Insurance includes fire,
theft, compensation and public lia-
bility.
Recently a committee composed of
A. P. Kiefer, W. B. Robinson, Jr., El-

an investigating committee on the
matter of a new home for the com-
pany. To assist the company in rais-

COLLECTOR WARNS
‘OF TAX PENALR
Although there is no great risk ;
pay taxes, conditions are about
same as they were last year accord
ing to F. M. Gordon, local tax col-
lector. Payment of taxes is apparen-
tly no slower this year than it was
last year. About the same amount of
taxes having been paid. to date a
were paid last year at this time.
Mr, Gordon has, however, issued a
warning that a 5 per cent penalty will «=
be added to all unpaid county, borough
and poor tax after February 1. Up
until [November 1 there was a 5 per
cent discount on these taxes. From
November 1 until February 1 is the
period when taxes can be paid ac-
cording to their list, but after Febzy
lary 1 the penalty goes on. Tho 5
per cent penalty was added to school
taxes October 1 there being no dise
count whatever on school tax,
