and Peter Clark. The move is,a part of
the campaign to collect the large am-
ount of past-due taxes due

erties, many of which are owned by
| persons not residents of the borough.
A short term loan amounting to
$300 from First National Bank of
Dallas was authorized by the council
to pay current expenses until taxes are
received. A $4,500 note due on April 17
wag renewed for three months and
bills totalling $391.69 were approved
for payment.
Mr, Parrish reported an application
has been filed: with the Civil Works
Administration for assistance in com-
pleting repairs to Davenport Avenue.

‘have been made with Thomas Bunney

Lehman Team Receives Cup
Symbolic Of League
Championship
FINE ADDRESSES
|
|
|
|
The keynote of good fellowship that
characterizes Rural League sports was
sounded at the ‘First Annual League
Dinner Tuesday night at the Suburban
Inn, Dallas. Present were the members
of the basketball teams of the League,
|managers, referees, and guests of the
League. It was also the occasion of the
Ipresentation of the IL.eague trophy to
Lehman who won the League cham-
pionship. :
Mr. Calvin McHose, principal of
!Dallas High School, was toastmaster.
His natural wit, puns and quips kept
the assemblage in constant good hu-
mor. Jack Roberts, managersof the
Dallas team, led the singing, and Wil-
liam Williams was the pianist of the
evening. 8
The program opened with the sing-
ing of a number of ‘get together” and
“banquet” songs. After dinner the
toastmaster warmed to his task with
a few jokes which evoked laughter and
more laughter. “Red” Schwartz who
has been president of the Rural
League four of the five years of its
existence started the speaking pro-
gram of the evening with a few well-
chosen remarks. “Red¥ thanked the
managers and team members for their
fine spirit and ready co-operation that
was shown throughout the season. In
Concluding, Mr. Schwartz stated that
this year was the most successful that
the League has so far experienced. Ed-
ward Kotchi, Dallas Post sports writer,
commented briefly on the play of the
Rural League this season.
Edward Donohoe, Times-Leader
sports writer, was called upon and dis-
coursed interestingly upon the value
and benefits of athletic competition.
Discipline and order, Mr. Donohoe
said, are the two main benefits de-
rived from organized sports. He lauded
Mr. Schwartz for his splendid work in
striving to maintain the League on a
high level. The fact was cited that
during “Red’s” tenure in office, he has
had only one protest, and even that
was withdrawn.
In closing, “Eddie” facetiously
vised some of the fellows to get to-
gether and shanghai the Lehman play-
ers, who have had a virtual monopoly
on the League flag, winning it three
out of five times.
The eye of the Ante of ceremonies
then fell on William Loftus, sports
editor of the Evening News. Mr.
Loftus spoke of the fine spirit that
participation in sports engenders. Ath-
letics, he-averred, is a convenient and
facile method of developing young
men physically, morally, and mentally.
He disclaimed the idea that a record of
no protests necessarily means a suc-
cessful and live organization. It may
mtan that no enthusiasm eixsts.
“Where there are protests, there is
enthusiasm,” said Mr. Loftus, “and en-
thusiasm is the very lifeblood of
sports.”
The . speaker congratulated
ipresent for the spirit that they
levinced throughout the past year. He
jcalled them “pioneers of sport,” and
{ended his address with the hope that
some day the Rural League will be the
foster-parent of a thorough and varied
athletic program for this section.
Mr. William Davis, of Wilkes-Barre,
was the main speaker of the evening.
He prefaced his talk with a few rare
bits of humor which were very well
received,
Inter-community athletics, @accord-
ing to Mr. Davis, should be encouraged
rand developed because it creates loy-
alty to community, it occupies young
men’s time to good advantage, and it
develops the elements of sportsman-
ship, perseverence, temperament, and
co-operation.

Drive To Curb
Speeders Here
Arrests Made In Criisad
End Reckless Speeding
Through Dallas
WARNING BY O'’KANE
A determined effort to end speeding
through Dallas Borough was launched
this week by Chief of Police Leonard
O’Kane and a number of arrests were
reported as a result of the speed trap
established by local officers on Main
Street.
The drive began in earnest on Tues-
day night and continued Wednesday
and yesterday as officers checked au=~
tomobiles passing through town and
arrested all persons guilty of exceed-
ing the twenty-mile-speed limit.
The crusade was started in response
to a great number of complaints that
motorists are travelling through the
town at speeds hazardous to pedes-
trians and to persons pulling out into
the lane of traffic from parking places,
The strict enforcement of the speed
limit early in the season will do a
great deal, it is believed, to control the
speed of automobiles later when heavy
summer traffic begins. 4
In accordance with rules governing
enforcement of the speed laws, signs
notifying motorists of the 20-mile limit
were posted throughout the town this
week. Speed traps, as recognized by
the State Department of Highways,
were established as follows: ]
A 660-foot length of telephone wire
included in the trap. One policeman is
stationed at each end of the trap.
When an automobile passes the first
point the policeman clicks his stop
‘watch and signals by telephone to the
man at the second point. A special
chart of distances covered at different
Speeds tells the second policeman, he
has clicked his watch, how fast the
car travelled over the measured
strip. If the car under observation
has exceeded the speed limit, the po-
liceman at the end of the trap signals
to a third policeman to halt the speed -
ing car.
Chief. O'Kane is being assisted by
the three other members of the police
department, Joseph Jewell, Jimmie
Gansel, and Robert Marshall. The
State Highway Patrol also is cooperat--
ing. The trap will be moved from time
to time but it will be confined to Shes
town proper. The fine for violators 7
will be $10 and costs.
M.E. Clergymen ae
Annual Conference
Many Local Persons Attend

Methodist Episcopal clergymen from
churches throughout this section are
attending sessions of the annual Wyo-
ming Conference being held in Forty
Fort M. E. church this week. A num-
ber of visiting clergymen will be pres-
ent at local services on Sunday, some
as guest preachers.
The conference convened formally
on Wednesday night, after several
days of meetings attended by Bishop
E. G. Richardson and district superin-
tendents. It will continue over the
week-end and end early in the week
with announcement of pastoral ap-
pointments. There were large repre-
sentations of local people at the Wo-

The problem of selecting a superin-

of which Dallas and vicinity are a part, -
was discussed’ at some of the early
meetings. Among the clergymen who
are mentioned for the position were
several who had served formerly in
Dallas and Noxen, The term of Dr.
