z
[trout in Pennsylvania, are now map-
ping plans for their initial invasion
of the streams, While trout are to be
taken in streams in many sections of
the State, according to the Fish Com-
mission, waters in four districts, the
north tier 'wunties, ‘and the Pocono
Mountain section, are outstanding.
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.

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. !

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. One case of diptheria was re-
ported at Trucksville.,

Long and Price, Parrish Heights
merchants, have completely renovated
their store and have ‘added electric
refrigeration equipment for a new and :

ment, The store has been painted
throughout and new shelving has been
added. Mr. Price is one of the most
progressive merchants in the commu-
nity and a leader in the Economy
stores movement. The firm has a
number of meat routes in this vicinity
and also has up-to-date automobile de-
livery service so that all telephone
orders can be quickly filled and deliw-

las borough high school athletic asso-

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

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,

Dear Boss: 2
Well, you got me all mixed up when
you told me to go out and get a story
on beer. 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

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

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.
The directors put off the discussion
of the budget until next meeting. The
revenue received for operating. the
schools is based on a much lower valu- 7 3

At the conclusion of the meeting,

and taxpayers, engaged in a bitter
controversy with Dr. G. K. Swartz
over the vote cast by Dr. Swartz on
the motion to engage Mr. Uber for
the coming year. 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-

came so incensed at the criticism that
