Occupying first rank as trout pro- ducers are streams in counties of the north tier — McKean, Potter, Tioga, Bradford and Susquehanna. Waters in these counties afford ideal condi- tions for fishing and yield heavy cat- ches of trout each eyar., From the angle of numerous streams and scenic beauty, Potter county is highly at- tractive to fishermen. Included in the list of Potter county waters are Pine Creek, Luddington Creek, Marsh Creek, Nine Mile Creek, Big Moore’s Run, Lyman Creek, Kettle Creek, Lyman Run, Cross Forks Creek, Prouty Run, East and South Forks or the Sinnemahoning, Genesee River, Genesee Fork, Dingman’s Run, East and West Branches of Fishing Creek and Fishing Creek. McKeen county has many good and West Branches of Kinzua Creek, streams. Included in the list are East Martin Creek, Chappell Creek, East Branch Tionesta Creek, Marvin Creek, Potato Creek, Sugar Run, Bast and West Branches Tunenguent Creek and Willow Creek. In Tioga county, the Tioga Rives, Asaph Run, Pine Creek, Phoenix Run Kettle Creok, Cedar Run, Long Run, Canada Run, Mill Run, Baldwin Run, and Elk Run are included in a list or fine trout waters. Good catches are also made in streams of Bradford and Susquehan- na counties each year. Among out- standing streams of Bradford county are Seeley Creek, Schrader Creek, Ti- oga River, Mill Stone Creek, South Fork, and North Branch of Towanda Creek. Listed with the favorites of anguers trying Susquehanna county's trout waters are East Butler Brank Tunkhannock Creek, Butler Creek, Beebe Creek, head- waters of East Branch Wyalusing Creek, Gaylord Creek, and Tunkhan- nock Creek.

A ” Necessity re observance of quarantine.»files was impressed upon local parents this week by action tak- en by county health officers in co-op- eration with Dallas borough schools. Investigating complaints that there has' been laxity in quarantine in the borough, Dr. W. F. Davison, county health official, visited the local schools this week to question children. i As result of his questioning, twen- ty-three students were sent home. About two-thirds of them have retur- ned to school with the approval of a district nurse, The investigation has not been completed. So far no new cases have been reported by the nurse who is visiting, the home of the chil- dren who were sent home. : Many of the children were sent home, not because they had any sym- toms of scarlet fever, but because they reported illness of some sort in their family. ! ness proved to be non-econtagious the children were permitted to return to school. Though he has record of thirty cas- es of contagion in his district, Elmer Kerr, district health officer, received only one new report of a scarlet fever case this week. That was at Shaver- town.

School Athletic Fund Has Surplus ] Wipes Out Deficit; Record For Year Good For the first time in its history Dal- las borough high school athletic asso- ciation closes its fiscal year showing a profit, and with much of the indebt- edness of previous years wiped clean from its books. . During previous years the associa tion has not only shown a loss but closed its vear with a deficit. At the beginning of this year the associa- tion was saddled with’ considerable “open account” debts as well as a note for $125. All “open account” debts have been paid during the year from receipts from. various games and the note has been reduced to $75 with the. interest paid until next fall. At the present time there are no outstanding bills and a small balance remains in the treasury. Receipts for the year were as fol- lows: Balance from 1932, 75¢; Wyom- ing game, $26.67; Tunkhannock game, $26.75; Lehman game, $23.75; + West Wyoming, $12.96; Student fund, $29.00; Dallas township, $6.75; Sale of old equipment, $2.00; Alumni game, $2.00; White Haven and Dallas township, $11.90; Shickshinny, $3.23; Laketon, $20.10; Beaumont, $20.05; Dallas town- ship, $19. 00; Kingston township $46.- 65; Kingston township $36.00.

After you explained that beer will be legal on Friday I sort of saw, what you meant. Of course 1 thought they'd been selling beer right along. Well, I saw quite a few people and they seem to be a little bify confused too. I guess a lot of them didn’t hear that beer isn’t legal until Friday be- cause a great many of them seemed to have been using it. ' First, I asked around about the plang I guess there will be plen- ty of opportunity to get this so-called new beer here after midnight Thurs- day night. You asked me to see if Dallas had made any plans to regulate the sale of the new beer. No, it has- n't. As I understand, council is wait, ing to see what the State will do. And there's another thing. It seems most of this confusion is the fault of these State officials. The Federal government has provided for a Feder- al license which will cost. $20 and must be paid in advance in quarterly install- ments of $5, but the State has not fix- ed any license fee. At least that's what people told me yesterday. I heard that some of the towns in Wyoming Valley passed ordinances re- gulating the sale of beer but most communities don’t have any regula- tions, Frankly, Boss, the whole thing is LEMUEL | pretty well mixed up and no one seems to know just what's going to happen. I tried to find out how much a glass of beer will cost but as soon as 1 introduced myself I found myself get- ting free drinks. Of course, people told me that this wasn’t the kind of beer that will be sold Friday but it made me feel pleasant and I met some mighty fine people. 1 beer which will be sold on Friday will be 8.2 beer. I don't know just what that means but you might be able to look it up din a book. No one around here knows what it means. The saddest man TI saw was the man who was crying. He said he'd drunk poor beer fo long when he tasted some of the new beer he couldn't sopreciate it. The first part of the day I wot along fine but in the afternoon I seemed to siow up: and people were so nice stayed a long time talking to them. In one place I went to ask questions I learned some old-time drinking songs. I certainly had a splendid time there. I worked very late last night, though, so I'm afraid I won't be able to be out today. If I feel better later in the day, though, I'd like to cover the cele- brations when this new beer comes back. We ought to have some one to get a first-hand report and I know all these people now and think I could get a story the next time. ME hes Your Inquiring Reporter.

Mr. Waters said that he ‘had signed the contract some months ‘ago but that it had not been signed by the secretary, and that Mr. Nelson was, therefore’ teaching without a contract. Waters made a motion to have the contract signed within twenty-four hours. This was killed in discussion. Dr. Swartz said that no such motion was necessary sinee as the new prei- dent he would see to it that the con- tract’ was signed within that time. Director Besecker then made a mo- tion to terminate all teacher contracts pending the action now being consid- ered by the State Legislature. This was seconded by Swartz. Upon the suggestion of Waters an amendment was made to the motion terminating only the contracts of those teachers not living within the borough. ‘The motion and amendment as seconded by Roberts was carried on an “aye” vot Teachers whose contracts were not terminated are: Ralph Rood, and Miss- es Hill, Patterson and Anderson. 3 Report on the budget showed that $2,000 has been set aside for princi- pal’s salary, $10,500 for other tener salaries, and $500 for textbooks for the 1933- 34 term. g Mr. Uber, principal of the schools, was present at the meeting and asked for an explanation of the board's de~ cision not to renew his contract for the coming year. No explanation was forthcoming from the directors, other than that the decision had been made in haste. Director Waters made a motion to hire Mr. Uber for the comi= ing year at a salary of $2,000. On the vote which was a tie, Waters and Ro- Iberts voted to retain Mr. Uber while [Swartz and Besecker voted against the motion. Mrs. Culbert did not vote.

Mr. Doll said that he and other citizens had supported Dr. Swartz at the time of his candi- dacy for the office of school director because they believed that he, would make an intelligent director, and that his actions in the matter of selecting the principal for the coming year were a great disappointment to his suppor- ters in the borough .
