Gold Returned To Local Bank Plenty Of Old Sized Gold Certificates Make Their Appearance More gold was received by First Na- tional Bank of Dallas during the past month ' than for the entire year of 1332, according to W. B. Jeter, cashier of the bank. The exchange of gold coin, and gold certificates for other legal | tender came as the result of President Roose- velt’s appeal to take gold out of hoarding or it may have been that the chance of a fine for holding gold after May 1 was somewhat of a stimulus to exchange it for other money. At any rate gold came back to the bank in small coins, big coins, and little bills and not few of the old big sized gold certificates were returned. During the latter part of last week, $732. in gold were exchanged at the bank. Earlier in the months $490. were returned. All gold received by the bank is forwarded to the Federal Reserve bank in Philadelphia from where it is for- warded to the United State Treasury.

Sunday Traffic Year’s Heaviest Arpets Made For Traffic iolations In This Section N ’ Although motor traffic on Sunday was the heaviest of the season, no ar- rests for traffic violations were made by local police or members of the State highway patrol stationed along the Luzerne-Harvey's Lake highway. Hundreds of motorists passed- over the road every hour motoring to Har- vey's Lake and surrounding scenic spots. The greater number of driv. ers were heads of families with their wives and children out for short plea- sure trips to . enjoy the beautiful spring day. They drove at conserva- tive speeds with care as their watch- word. Drivers who use the highway late at night are causing the most trouble for local enforcement agencies. Recently there have been a number of accidents in which drunken grivers, have fea- tured. Mail Schedules Thange Due to a change in main line train schedules to meet the requirements of daylight saving time in New York City, local mail train schedules were changed this week. The morning mail train ten minutes in advance of its former schedule, Mail which formerly left the local post- office at 11:45 now leaves the office at 11:15 a. m., and should be deposited at the local office no later than 11 a. m to assure its being sorted and mail- ed out. Similar advances in schedules are also announced for Noxen, Alderson; Trucksville and Shavertown postof- this angle of the situa- |tion a representative of the school board has said that their need/ be no Isympathy extended those who ‘are de- jlinquent: by other taxpayers in the i townshin. The board is forced to take this action by the insistent demands of township taxpayers who for the past [few years have been paying their taxes {while other property owners neglected to do so. He further said that the tax load in the township has been carried {by about one third of the total prop- erty owners during the past few Years and without their loyalty it would” imposgible to conduct the schools lany Ic agth of time. The board member De further stated “that more than 1,000 propertv_pwnens. fare delinquent for 1928 taxes and taxes for previous years; 460 are delinquent for 1329 taxes: 1700 for 1930; 1,600 for [1931 and 1,700 for 1932. Many of those delinquent are lot owners and real es- tate companies owning property in the township. ‘A number of real estate holdings containing between 50 and 60 lots on which there is a tax og $5 a lot are in arrears for a number of vears.' These lots will be sold if taxes are not forthcoming. Further Reductions Planned It is believed that total taxation in the township for the coming year will $ ne reduced between 30 per cent and 40 per cent after the poor and road boards have completed their budgets in which they plan drastic reductions. The reduction in the per capita school tax from $5 to $3 was brought about because of the complaints of housewives that the tax constituted a burden too heavy to carry. The school board at the same time announced the election of Miss Shaver of Lake township ag teacher in the domestic science department in place of Miss Robinson who recently resig-- ned to marry. George Landon was elected secretary of the board and W. B. Jeter was el- ected treasurer. Both terms to start in July. : Starting with the 1933-34 term all teachers will recive their salaries over a twelve-month period instead of for nine months as has been the custom in the past.

I know now that advertising does pay and that The Post gets around a’ bit in this back coun- try. = The results far exceeded my expectations.
