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.

Sem Graduates
Reap Honors
Members Of Class Of 1932
Rank High In Studies
At College
Standing of Wyoming Seminary in
the scholastic field is being shown
again in reports being received from
colleges and universities the country
over attesting to the ability of gradu-
ates of Wyoming Seminary. One of the
highest ranking students is a boy from
Shavertown.
Dean Wilbur H. Fleck said, “We
have received mid-term reports from
72 students, members of the (Class of
1982, who are attending 38 different
colleges, and 48 per cent of all Erodes
were B or better,
An unusual record was made at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
where four out of five boys who en-
rolled there in September were an-
nounced as honor students. Among
them is Roman Ortinski of Shaver-
town.
At Dartmouth the names of John H.
B. Knowlton of Lynbrook, I. I., and
Morton Blum of» Wilkes-Barre, appear-
ed on the list of “Men of distinctive
scholastic accomplishment,
Among. others who ranked high in
mid-term reports were Maynard Cohen,
Harvard; Ruth DeWees at Wilson
College, and Frank Malinski, basket-
ball and football star at Seminary, who
.
‘leads the freshman class at Pennsyl-
vania, Military Academy, where he is
also active in athletics.
The mid-term scholastic record of
the class of 1932 is one of the best in
recent years according to Dean Fleck,
who is highly pleased at the showing
made by graduates of the West Side
institution of learning. He said that
about 80 per cent of the graduates of
Wyoming Seminary go to college
whereas for many schools the percen-
tage is much lower.

Reduction of eight mills in the

ship school board to complete its bud-
get of expenditures for
school term. 3
Reductions in sehool millage approxi-
mate 25 per cent and reduce the mil-
lage from the present 30 mills to 22
mills. Such
as the result of rigid economies in
school management during the past
term and for the coming term and are
also dependent upon the forced collec-
tion of all past due taxes in the town-
ship. ®
Savings to taxpayers in school ad-
ministration’ come under four main
heads namely: Reduction in teacher
$5,000 saving in cost of operation of
school busses; economy in every de-
partment of the schools, and in reno-

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”

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 think you will be pleased to
know the results I got from the
advertisement which appeared
on your Renovise page in the
April 21 issue of The Post.
I was a little bit skeptical
about being able to get carpenter
work from an advertisement in
a newspaper when I asked your
advertising man to write me an
ad. 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. Early this week I
had three telephone calls as the
result of the ad, and the work
will keep me busy for sometime.
‘Anyone who calls your office
for me or for carpentry - work
can get in touch with me by
calling Dallas 226-R-0.
