School News DALLAS BOROUGH Junior High Home Economics During the first six weeks of the first semester of the school year, much interest has been displayed by the girls of the Junior High ‘School Home Economics Class in the making of samples of machine and decorative stitching to be used later in the year. At the suggestion of our instructor, Miss Kathryn Taylor, the class de- cided to make Christmas gifts for their friends and relatives. An interesting variety of projects are being made for this purpose, some of which are bridge sets, luncheon sits. collar and cuff sets, baby blankets, curtains, pillow cases, tea towels, finger tip towels and aprons, The girls are very much pleased at the opportunity given them to take a Home Economical and Culinary Arts Course, which will be a preparation to them for later domestic duties.

Welfare Federation Drive The Dallas borough schools are par- ticipating in the Welfare Federation Drive because we consider it one of our duties, as a group of young citi- zens, to help the human needs of our community. Many people of Dallas have wrong opinions about the Welfare Federation, They think it is only a scheme by which some people benefit and that it doesn't help human needs, The people having such opinions are wrong. The Welfare Federation helps millions of people yearly. You may say that it doesn’t help any one in Dallas but we have been shown records which prove that it does help Dallas residents. For instance; ninety free days of medical attention were administered at the Homeopathic Hospital this past year’ fifty-five days at the Mercy Hospital, add three hundred and forty days at the General Hospital and with five or- phan children from, the borough in the Florence Crittenton Home. It is well worth our time and money to work and donate to the Welfare Federation Drive. We hope that the people of Dallas will consider this' Welfare Federation Drive as seriously as we are consider- ing it as students. —Mary Wallo, Hazel Baer ere gr pr MONROE TWP. HIGH SCHOOL Clock and Bell System, The Senior class has ordered an electric clock and bell system for in- stallation. The arrival will probably do more toward producing ‘economy of school time, easing of teacher load and giving an efficient. progressive and better managed system of class chan- ges to the school than any post pro- jects so far completed. This project made possible by the patronage of our Hallowe'en party and the sponsorship of our Senior class is the second school memorial of note. The first (our Postograph) has given excellent service as the maker of our school paper, programs, etc. The clock will ring two separate gets of bells. One set will ring each forty-five minutes from nine in the morning until three forty-five at night. These bells will mark the beginnings and endings of all classes in the High School building. The second set will ring an electric gong placed on the ex- terior of the building and will ring for the opening of school, in the morning, &t recess times, and at noon intsrval. Sporte Our boys played their first interscho- lastic soccer game Friday, Nov. §, at Falls Overfield. The opposing team made the only three goals in the first half of the game.

DALLAS POST CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS in school (Believe it Poultry Expert Studies Picking Idleness, Carelessness And Crowded Coops Start Habit Probably one of the most discourag. ing things in the poultry business is to have a flock of beautiful pullets laying well and have them start picking. Feather picking in itself is a bad habit that gives the flock a me@an, rough appearance. 'rhe feather pick- ing habit, however, leads to pick-outs and this means dead pullets and a complete loss. The feather picking ha- bit often is learned in the brooder. More often, however this vieious habit starts when the pullets are first housed. If feather picking and pick-outs were only a feeding problem we could easily stop it. Pick.outs are caused by idleness crowded conditions and care- lessn'ess on the part of the poultry- man. There is no one thing to do to stop or prevent feather picking. The following suggestions will help: When the pullets are first housed, be sure that they are kept busy by feeding a small amount of scratch of- ten during the day. Supply liberal succulent feed. Darken the nests. Be sure that all feed hoppers and drinking fountains are at least three feet from the floor. Have a box of dry whole oats each pen. Be sure to remove any bird at the first sign of blood. Remove from the pickers. If the habit gets too general, remove the tip end of the upper bill of each bird in the pen. Most feather picking and pick-outs are found in flocks where the care. taker is not observant. in flock persistent —Shavertown— Rumors Predict New Majority Rumors are current about the town- ship that there is to be a change in the personnel of the present majority of the school board, due to the elec- tion of last week. It is reported that Wilbur Nichols, Howard Appleton and Edwin Hay will be in control with Newhart, and George Prater in the minority, still another report is to the effect that Prater and Appleton, who were elected last week together with Nichols will control the board. Just who will control will be known when the board reorganizes on the first Monday of December, Nichols Named Secretary G. Wilbur Nichols, at a meeting of the township school board last Friday night was elected secretary of the township school board for the term ending the first Monday of July, 1937, at a salary of $40 per month, Whether this will be approved when the board reorganizes or a change made will be considered by the new members. This was reported as being a new ruling in the school code. Formerly, each mem- ber of the board had an opportunity to serve as secretary at a salary of $400 per year and for the past two years it had been $600 per year. Other business transacted was the increase of the cost of the extra haul- ing of students from Shavertown and Trucksville and back again by Isaac Coursen whose contract was increased to $300 per month from $277.40. This was done subject to approval by the state. Four drop lights were ordered instal- led on the stage of the auditorium to be used by music class, the work to be done by Laux at a cost of $12. Two fire extinguishers were ordered purchased at a cost of $9.75 each from Melvin Hewitt of Trucksville. ‘Several adjustments were approved in the budget of the school district to meet insurance bills. ‘ Play Hughestown.

SPORT FLASHES “Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?” Huh! Who is afraid? Perhaps there wasn't enough fear of that “Big Bad Wolf” up in Dallas last Saturday. Perhaps little Kingston township High didn’t realize what big teeth he had. Perhaps the township (football) game hunters have been bagging only coyottes since the season opened and thought it would be a simple matter to keep the ‘Big Bad Wolf” away from their goal post door. Perhaps there is such a thing as over-confidence, And is it foolish to assume that Coach Hicks himself assumed the game was in the bag. It would be en- tirely safe to wager that the township mentor has been warning all the lads that just because those Dallas boys had been toppled by other smaller teams it was no sign they could bare their fangs and romp away with the lamb. The township team never seemed to get underway against Dallas. There is no denying that Dallas got more than her share of the breaks during the game and there is no denying that Dal- las borough played the better game. One thing Kingston township scored in was the matter of, attendance. TI be- lieve there were more Township fans at the game than there were repres- entatives of Dallas. THE DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1933. Hutchison Gives Rot, Curl Cures County Agent Suggests Way To Combat Disease Of Peach Trees Leaf curl and brown rot, two des- tructive diseases of peaches, can be controlled by spraying, says <County Agent J. D. Hutchison. During the past three years leaf curl has been increasing and growers now are in the midst of an epidemic. The disease is most severe in south- eastern and south central orchards. : Exceptionally favorable weather for the development of brown rot and windstorms during the past summer this disease this year. Application of a spray to the trees while the peach buds are in a dormant state is recommended as a control. for the fungus causing leaf curl. Many growers have failed to put. the spray on early enough in the spring:because of unfavorable weather or some other delay. As a result the sprays were not put on until after the buds were cracked. 3 ; ' Mr, Hutchison, therefore urges growers to apply the dormant spray this fall where leaf curl has been pres- ent. This will avoid the failure to spray early in the spring . Either lime- sulphur, 1,03 specific gravity, or bordeaux mixture 8-8-100 when thoroughly applied, will kill the spores of leaf curl which pass the winter clinging to the peach buds and twigs. Where bordeaux is used, it may be applied as soon as all of the leaves have dropped. Where lime-surphur is used it is safer to wait until about four weeks after the leaves have fallen | and the hubs have hardened to ex- ‘clude injury. { ! Bordeaux mixture, applied either in {the fall or in the spring, has been ‘found to reduce the amount of brown twig infection the following . season. | White at |Noxen on aecount have caused considerable loss from’ PAGE SEVEN South Run !
