Griffith, (Continued on Page 4.) IN ation Has BY FRANK J. NIGHT Sales Manager, King Features Syndicate (Reprinted from NEWSDOM) Believe it or not iais country has approximately six times as many weekly newspapers ag dailies. And the type of reader the weekly reached by the daily. Modern trans portation and communication have and create a national uniformity of in+ terest. The weekly newspaper retains tre- mendous power over public opinion. It 6 Times I Weeklies Than Dailies serves is not greatly different from that’ done much to eliminate provincialism More hag this advantage over the daily —it has, on the whole, continued to ex- emplify what used to be known as “personal journalism,” a thing that has nearly always contributed to the pow- er of the press. This has practically disappeared from the ‘daily field. These things being true -— the great numerical superiority of the weekly, the similarity of its reader's interests to those of the daily's readers, and the extent of its retained power to in- fluence opinion, these things being true, should any organization con- cerned with the newspaper business neglect such an important field as that of the Weekly newspaper? I ‘Tax Levy Slashed 'Ithe season, and it is understood that 3 Mills Here Dallas Bor Council Grants "Requests Of Taxpayers Dallas borough council at a joint meeting Tuesday night with represen- tatives of Dallas borough Taxpayers’ Association voted to reduce the bor- ough tax millage three mills for the coming fiscal year. This is the third: reduction in millage offered by council during the past two! years and brings the total reduction in millage for that period to seven mills. These reductions have been brought about despite the increased work un- dertaken by Council in the matter of street and general borough improve- ments and speaks highly of the effici- ency and general business ability of the present body of Council. Members of the Taxpayers’ Associa- tion asked that there be no curtailment of borough improvements but sugges- ted that taxes could be lowered if determined effort was made to collect delinquent taxes from chronic tax evaders. (In most instances these tax evaders are owhers of large plots of lots in real estate developments. Council appointed the entire finance committee to act in co-operation with committees from the school and pQor boards ‘to go over the lists of delin- quent tax payers and earmark those which will be sent to the County Com- missioners for forced sale. Action of Council in reducing millage follows closely on the announcement of Dallas borough school board that school taxes will be cut for the com- ing year. Millage for the coming year will be subdivided as follows: Borough, 10 mills; light, 1% mills, sinking fund, 3 mills. Last year the millage was, bor- ough 13 mills light 1% and . sinking fund 3 mills. The millage during 1930 was as follows: borough 15 mills; Sinking fund, 3% mills and light fund 3% mills. men serving on Local Men Receive Degrees At State Seven hundred and forty-nine sen- iors received bachelor degrees from the Pennsylvania State College on Monday and 106 graduate students re- ceived advanced degrees.

La- ing fire company” when plans for re- novation of the fire truck are brought up for discussion. In annoumcing the meeting, Wardan Kunkle, president of the company, asks that all members from, Dallas and Dal- las township be present to discuss this important matter which must be settl- ed definitely, as the time limit on the offer of the Mack truck company ex- pires on June 16. “This matter”, says Mr. Kunkle, “deserves the serious con- sideration of every member of the company as well as citizens of both Dallas borough and township. Mem- bers of the company who live in the township should be especially interes ted as improvement of the truck has much to do with the speed with which the firemen will be’ able to respond to fire alarms in outlying sections of the township.” The original cost of the fire truck six years ago was $8,865. At that time the equiprhent was modern in every detail and on a par with the best equipment to be found anywhere, It adequately supplied the needs of the community within a ' small radius. Since the organization and purchase of the truck, however, there has been a great demand for\ the use of the truck in outlying «districts, and in fully seventy-five percent of the cases quick action of the firemen has pre- vented serious losses. Because of the number of calls com ing from outlying territory and in ord- er to respond to them in the short- est possible time, ‘there has been a proposal offered -to bring the truck completely up-to-date, increasing the 22 miles an hour to 55 miles an hour, and also increase the pumping capacity. To do this requires the installation of a new 104-horse power six-cylinder pump feed motor i place of the present four cylinder 60= horse. power splagh fed motor. Oth er changes ‘would include, starter, clutch transmission, etc. The Mack company has offered to do this work for $1,200 at the present time, the of=~ fer holding good until June 16. This offer is $1,300 below the usual rate offered by the Mack -company for similar work. The company offers to completely renovate the truck at fac- tory cost because the. local firemen have always been dissatisfied with the truck's power on hills. Since much of the nearby territory is of a hilly nature lack of power on the hills is a distinct handicap. If the work is done to the truck it will bring it up to the class of a new $10,000 pumper of 1933 design. It is argued by many in favor of the plan that the depreciation on any piece of automotive equipment is far in excess of this amount. for the six years the truck has been in operation. If the present truck were traded in on new equipment the spread in value ‘would be greater than the $1,200 asked by the Mack company to make 'the present equipment modern in every detail. The officers and trustees of the company feel that the entire mémber- ship should decide on the question and therefore ask that ‘every member be present at tonight's meeting. Tomorrow night the company will hold a Bean Supper fw Adam Kiefer's old red barn at Shrine View. A. spec- ial program has been arranged and it is expected that the attendence will exceed that of other years. Serving will start at six and continue until a late hour. Inspectors Pay Visit To Dallas I Refuse To Give Licenses To Several Local Retailers Inspectors were in Dallas Wedhes- day afternoon checking up on places where beer is for sale, ascertaining whether licenses had been granted and generally inspecting bar rooms, res- taurants, stores and eating houses to see if they had the required seating capacity and if bars were visible from the street as required by law. In a number of instances they found that these requirements were not full- filled and beer is, therefore, not now on sale in many of the places where it has heretofore been sold. Just what the effect of the law will have on the general distribution of beer is not yet known. Throughout the State there are a number of test court cases in Drep- aration to be carried to the State high- er courts, the contention being that beer is not intoxicating according to the Federal constitution and that such regulations as are now in effect are in- valid. In Dallas a number of places have discontinued the sale of “beer, while road houses and barrooms in sur- rounding townships have met all of on Tuesday night by Rev. IL J.
