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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
