The Republican party — so soon af- ter its stinging defeat at the polls in the last election — is even now certain of a quick return to power. There seems to be no doubt in the minds of Re- publican leaders that the youth ‘of America, upon whose shoul- ‘ders the of the nation rests, is solidly behind Republi- can principles of government, and of course, the party.

Roosevelt tommor- row. It will be an event ever to be remembered” inquired, “Well, Mr. Multer, are you, a Republican, urging your friends to attend a Demo- 3 cratic inauguration?” The my- stery was cleared up when he replied, “I am not finished yet.

E. church is undergoing a number of marked changes. For the past several months volun- teer workers have been excavating the cellar of the church to make way for a new assembly room, kitchen, and furnace room. To date more than six hundred loads of dirt have been tak- en from underneath the church. Each load being about one and one-half ‘cubic yards.. When excavation is com- pleted the floor space of the church will have been increased with the ad- ditions of a basement assembly room eighty by thirty feet in size with an I, thirty by thirty feet. The new fur- nace room will be about thirty-six by twelve feet, The have a nine foot height and will be concrete. along the side walls for about three feet. The rest of the distance to the ceiling will be“lathed and plastered. The ceiling will probably be of metal although this has not been definitely decided. ; The main assembly room will have two exits. There will be a stairway leading to the church proper and there will also be toilet facilities. To furnish light for the main room, windows will be cut through the stone walls of the church at intervals of six feet. The kitchen which will be about sixteen by thirty-four feet will modern and complete in every detail. Estimates for the work by an exca- vation contractor sometime ago ploced the cost of the work at well over $1,800. Needless to say the fine co- operative spirit shown by men of the community in contributing their work gratis has cut this cost almost a sixth of this amount, r Much of the soil taken from under- neath the church has been used as fill on borough streets. A consider- able amount will also be used in re- grading the church grounds.

Both schools always have been bitter rivals and although the township team is not exactly up to par this year, it isn’t to be taken lightly as Laketon can tes- tify. The Kester boys have been pointing for this game and they would like nothing better than to humble the Conference co-leaders, and the chan- ces are that they may. Accomodations have been made for the large crowd that is expected to witness the battle; it is more than likely that most of the vantage points will be taken long before the game starts. a brand of team- (Contineud on Page 4.)

Wyoming county because of alphabetic order is one of the last counties on the State appropriation list to receive its funds from the State. While many of the districts have been able to pay their teachers out of cur- rent funds, other districts of the coun- ty have been handicaped. This is es- pecially so of the smaller districts. Monroe township, in which Beaumont high school is located, has been -un- able to meet its salary requirements to both bus dri ers and teachers for the past two months.
