Lighting Most Talked-Of Thing At New Exposition
Record-breaking. crowds are pouring into Chicago to see the 1934 sequel

position which exceeds the 1933 fair in glamour, interest, entertainment, “and
crowds.

all its ‘catenary system traced against

Farther south from the rotunda of the

The Japanese beetles will be with us
this summer in numbers fully as large
as a year ago according to entomolo-
gists of the State Bureau of Plant In-
dustry. The beetles usually make their
{first appearance about June 15, but
may be several days earlier or later
depending upon the weather,
When tnig erennial pest emerges it
will find the State and Federal Gov-
ernments prepared again %c meet its
attacks on very front. Rigid quaran-
tine restrictions will be enforced in the
borderland between infested and non-
infested areas. Pennsylvania is entirely
infested with the exception of a few
counties in the northwestern section.
The quarantine line will run from the
Ohio border east between Lawrence
and Mercer counties thence on betwee’
Venango and Butler through the north-
west corner of Clarion, between Forest
and Clarion, between Elk and Forest,
and finally between Warren and Mc-
Kean to the New York State border
[ospectors will be stationed in this
area to check on all roads leading from
the infested area. The quarantine pé-
gulations prohibit the movement (@n-
less certified) of green corn on the ‘eed |

bunches or in clusters of 25 or more,

Board Div ided
On Choice For
Tax Collector
Dallas Directors May Not
Give Dungey School
Duplicate
MEETING TONIGHT
Strong likelihood that Arthur J,
Dungey, recently elected tax collector
of Dallas borough, will not be given
the school duplicate for collection was
expressed this week bf: members of
Dallas school board.
Although it is not obligatory under
the school code for the regularily elect=
ed tax collector to be given the dupli-
cate for collection precedent in Dallas
borough and in most communities has
given the elected collector this job.
Mr. Dungey was elected last fall in an
exciting political contest with the
Fred Gordon, former tax collector. and
M. B. Coolbaugh as- his opponents.
Reasons for the change in the set-
up of school tax collection in the beor-
ough have not been given by members
of the board who are divided in senti-
ment on the proposed plan. Both Dir=-
ectors Disque, and Pittman are strong-
ly for the change while Directors
Swartz and Roberts are oppised to any
measure which would tax the collec~
tion out of the hands of Mr. Dungey.
Director Eugene Lazarus has not ex«
pressed himself and cculd not be
reached yesterday morning.
There is some talk that the reason
for the change is that Mr. Dungey has
not yet presented his bond. Mr, Dun-
gq has however applied for a bond
from William Niemeyer local insur-
ance man, Mr. Niemeyer is at pres-
ent out-of-town and Mr. Dungey has
therefore been delayed in getting the
bond.
While this is given as a superficial
reason for any contemplated .change,
there are still many residents of the
borough who recall the remarks of one
of the school directors last fall after
Dungen' was elected. This director
pointedly said that if Dungey were
elected he would not be allowed to col-
lect school taxes. That of course was’
spoken in the heat of a political cam-
paign and few believed that the dir-
ector seriously considered carrying out
the plan even though he expressed it.
With excitement in the borough run-
ning higher than it has at any time in
school affairs, with the exception of
the reported plan for wholesale dismis-
sal of teachers which fortunately did
not materialize there is certain to be
a large gathering of citizens at the
special 'meeting of the school poarg
called for tonight.
If the board does decide to do awa
with the services of Mr. Dungey it will
be one of the most unpopular moves
yet taken and will go a long wap to-
ward bringing ‘the whole political set-
up of school administration into the
light,
Mr. Dungey is capabie of handling
school tax collections, he is popular
and well-liked and his election last fall
expresses the desire ‘of the majority of
voters of the borough. If the school
board runs counter to the wishes of
the electorate by appointing another
man in his place simply. as a political
move, it will do much to arouse other-
wise uninterested citizens and will go
a long way toward the eventual defeat
of the present Fine machine controlled
schooi board.
