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.

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.

This week finds the football steam-

local and national interest saw action.
Reports indicate that “headache” aver-

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.

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.
