WINTER IS COMING Contributed A ‘October dawns. The maple trees across the way are still green, but the! sumac up the road is scarlet. The leaves have dropped almost completely’ from the pear trees in the yard and what is left of the fruit hangs ripe and tantalizing on the branches. The crab apple tree is turning too. The apples themselves are deep, almost af purple red. They taste mealy and! sweet and they pucker the mouth very little, Everywhere apple trees are bent low under the weight of the fruit they have been nurturding all through the summer. Gardens are beginning to look weedy and bedraggled, ours being a particu- lar example. But they still bear crops. Squash, and egg plant, peppers, radish- es, onion, endive, red beets, chard, pumpkins, brussell sprouts and cauli- flower. And owners hope that frost will hold off for a few more days. Wal- nut trees look gaunt and lonely. There is briskness in the air that indicates a certain change in seasons. Birds have been gathering for several weeks, sing. ing but little, conferring a lot, pre- paring to move for the Winter. Every- where one goes, the fragrant smoke of burning grass and leaves fills the air. The moonlight of the past week bathed a more silent countryside, Al- ready billions of bugs have lived their lives and gone their way of all bugs. Field mice are beginning to find their way into uncounted cellars through the most believeable places. Flies are at their worst. They hide in every nook and corner that offers the least bit of warmth. Their buzz is a stubborn, monoton- ous drone, the smell of cooking draws them to the door by the hundreds They are one of the reasons why cold weather will be welcome. Bees are enjoying. their last days of real activity when the sun rides high. Frantically, they scour the countryside for the lest ebbing drops of the late honey flow which they store carefully away for the colder days to come. Farmers are putting the finishing touches to collecting the potato crop, and corn is getting its share of atten. tion. Out in the country where a the sun goes down, a lighted fireplace adds much cheer, comfort and warmth. Wood is being piled in convenient places for it will be needed much more frequently from now on. The wind has a new sound as it rustles the dry leaves. The new season goes on apace, quietly, relentlessly, colorfully, October has dawned and pretty soon beautiful Fall, will merge with Winter. After all there may be more truth than hu- ‘mor in that old expression: When It's Once chilly, it’s Christmas.

National and In- ternational Problems Inseparable From Local Welfare, 2 ® = Since the middle of July there has * been a definite — but yet not overly severe — downward trend in general business. The usual seasonal August improvement did not materialize. What happened was that the summer de- cline, which business avoided for a number of months after it was due, made a delayed appearance. Even so, there has been extraordinary sustained improvement over the preceding few years. Production in July, according to the Department of Commerce, was 68 per cent. higher than in 1932, when the absolute bottom of depression was touched; 1931 and 5.4 per cent. higher than in 1930. The Department of Commerce places the manufacturer's index at 99, which is the highest since May, 1930, Conditions obtaining in various fields are ‘as follows: : COMMODITY PRICES — Advanced sharply, and still upward. The cost of living advanced 3 per cent, from June to July, with an 8 per cent. jump reported for food prices. DOMESTIC TRADE — This continues to present a puzzling picture. What expansion there has been is not commensurate with the increase in production, and the gap between producer and consumer has widened. Most recent figures indicate that this condition is beginning to be corrected. . EMPLOYMENT — Definitely upward, though somewhat retarded in Au- gust. The N. R. A. has been a prime factor, as have the special indus- trial codes. BANKING — During a recent six weeks’ period 200 banks with depos- its in excess of $200,000,000 reopened. Since the moratorium 14,000 banks have resumed operations on an un- restricted basis, SECURITIES—The most severe break for a long time was that of the mid- dle of July, which cancelled the gains made in previous months, So far as stocks are concerned, the sit- uation is very uncertain — there are likely to be a number of ups and downs with speculators waiting for short rises and then taking profits. Talk of inflation has stimulated cer- tain classes of issues.- Bonds have been fairly steady. FOREIGN TRADE — Has continued _ the upward trend that started in May. However, the value of ex- ports and imports has generally been smaller than in comparable months of 1932. - CONSTRUCTION — The long await- ed improvement in the construction industry put in an appearance in early August, contrary to the usual seasonal experience. The basic state of the industry, however, is little changed. The Chicago area has been leading the country on con- tract values. RAILROADS — Car-loadings in re- cent months have been well above those of a year ago, with carriers in much better financial condition. June, for example, operating reven- ues were nearly five times as large as in June, 1932, A slight decline started in August. AUTOMOBILES — Recently the pro- duction index, with allowance made for seasonal trends, touched the highest point since June, 1931. In July cutput was more than double that for July, 1932. AGRICULTURE — Wholesale prices of farm and: food products, meats alone excepted, have been shownig substantial and steady advances. LUMBER — It's too early to tell what Lumber Code stipulations, which have aroused a tremendous amount . of dissenting opinion, will do to the industry. During recent months there has been steady increase in output, STEEL — \Has been expanding, with a recession occurring in August. This is another industry which had great difficulty in formulating a code — mainly because of the fight between open-shop operators and union labor and its future will be awaited with interest.

Reports indicate that “headache” aver- age among coaches is above par. ss Dallas borough football team amas- sed sixteen first downs to three for Lehman in a fine display of offensive strength to win its first home game 18 to 0. Touchdowns were made by Gould, Labar and W. Disque. Labar was the principal and only consistent ground.gainer for the borough team. Dallas played an alert and aggressive brand of football which, if continued, should place them in the victory col- umn more often than not. An unusual feature of the game is the fact that the home lads punted only once, and that was. from their 40-yard line. The greater part of the game was played in Lehman territory. Lehman, up to the third quarter, used only running plays; when it did take to the air, the borough gridders were completely caught off guard and Lehman tried and completed two pas- ses in succession. + The passes were good for forty-five yards, and for the first time of the game it put Lehman in a possible scoring position . How- ever, the Dallas line stiffened and further offensive onslaughts were summarily stopped before they would start. Rusislosky, key man of the visitor's offense was injured in the first few minutes of play. His departure from the game seriously impaired the -ef. fectiveness of his team’s offense. * * = Kingston township avenged last year's 6 to 0 defeat at the hands of St. Nicholas football team, making it 7 to 0, Saturday, at the township ath- letic field. It was a well and evenely fought battle, neither team showing a perceptible advantge over the other. The Saints repeatedly fooled the town- ship team with a first-down fast kick, but they themselves were duped by the same play when “Smith, township quarterback, punted on first down late | in the third quarter. The kick bound- ed over the St. Nicholas safety and traveled far into its territory. This clever bit of strategy paved the way for the township touchdown. Smith advanced the ball to the 13-yard line. On the next play Loveland plunged through right guard to win for his team its first victory of the year. Smith pushed over the stripe for the extra point. « % It was a sore, weary and disgruntled Dallas township football team that re. turned from Exeter after having been administered a 41 to 0 whitewashing. Lined up against a heavier and more experienced erew, the Dallas team was outplayed throughout most of the game, except for brief moments when offensive spurts cheered its followers only to be quickly smothered by the! Exeter defensive. * x = Kingston township, with a fine, spa- cious, and well-laid-out athletic field, and playing Saturday games, is a con- crete example of how football can be a valuable asset to a school in more ways than one. All of which leads up to the question of why wall local games cannot be scheduled for Saturday. Games played on Friday afternoon, through necessity keeps many towns- people from seeing them, and, after all, while the financial end of scholas. tic athletics is supposed to be of sec- ondary importance it is an item that generally receives the closest scrutiny. Saturday games seem to be an easy and obvious way of increasing reven- ue from football. Properly handled, it always proves to be more advantage- ous to both school and fans. Coach Nelson of the Dallas borough high school team is at present being given some very capable assistance in the coaching of his “greenies” by Kenneth Disque and “Bill” Rado. Both of these men have been stars in their |# own right, Disque doing his bit for the borough some years ago, while Rado was a noted hall-toter at Luz- erne high not so long ago. - » .
