Tonight the spotlight of community in-
interest will turn to the edifice at the
corner of Pioneer Avenue and West
Centre Street in Shavertown. A dinner
will be held at 6:30 by the Keller Class,
and you may guess what a time one will
have. There will be a real turnout, as
this class can cook, as well as entertain.
People do not look at the money when it
is a question of good eats; and here is
where the crowd comes for a treat! Bet-
ter be one of them, for it will give you
something to talk about for a long while.

Township, folk miss the visits of Charlie
Weaver, the man who knew how to build
brick walls. Cherlie had a place out on
the ‘Lehman road. In fact he had a
number of places between here and Kings-
ton, for Charlie was a wise and careful
investor. When he didn’t buy real estate,
he put his money into utilities or build-
ing and loan stock. One day while stand-
ing in front of Doron & Co's, where
Burton had a Five and Ten Cent Store
on Wyomin Avenue, we got Charlie to
buy a Star car. We went in and got in-
to the car and couldn’t get out of it, so
Charlie had to buy it. Charlie passed on
to the other world during the hard winter,
when we lost so many of our old friends.

“Donald Hutchinson and his brothers,
Archie and Jim, have got the real estate
investment idea going in great shape and
are figuring in a few good, sound transac
tions lately. We can say that real es
tate will be, worth almost any price at the
end of the next ten years, and the prices
for property today will look ridiculous in
comparison.

Coming back to the Keller Class, which
seems to be a main subject in the column
this week, there is plenty of talk of run-
ning a few of the ladies of that class for
school director—and why not? There
are some wonderful workers in the class
and voters might approve the idea to have
them in office. The idea may seem like
a fantastic one to a lot of people but the
argument: of one from Shavertown, one
from Trucksville and one from Carver-
ton is worth considering.

and Irene Charlotte and Emily Dover are
boosting the fund by their talent. There
are over 100 willing workers in this sec
tion of the township and the cause is one
for the attention of everybody within
miles of the place, which is so far re-
moved from buss or street car station.

During the Civil War our township
was not much of a place, yet some people
picked it out for a living when it had
little else but uninhabited land—and that
mostly covered by rocks and trees. What
chance a man of today would take on rais-
ing a family on that proposition is easy
to guess—but long ago there wasn’t much
of importance to do but to work four-
teen hours per day, eat three meals, and
get a good night's sleep.

That was: when the Shavers, the Hol-
combs, the Youngbloods, the Staubs, and
a few others located here. Now their
sons and dauhters or their grandchildren
are still among us, keeping the good old
names alive,
Zo.
Here and there we find a grove, a hill
or a dale called after one or another of
them—and sometimes a town, which is
good advertising, and, we think, a deserv-
ed tribute to the fighting spirit and valor
of our early settlers.

The death of Peter Staub at the Staub

us to think that this is a very old town-

The Senior Staub must have found it a
friendly spot near the creek and most all
progress seems to have been made along its

name has always been held in great respect
by those who knew them. .

Many relatives and friends visited the

McCarthy had a hard time of it directing

We sat in at the Wyoming Seminary-
Meyers High School baseball game at
Kingston the other day. The home team
was too much for the Wilkes-Barre nine
and shut the Meyers boys out. Prof.
Smith doesn’t have one player from the
township on the team. The pitcher was
a tall Polish lad from Larksville and next
in importance was the champion batter,
a fair-sized young fellow with a turned
up nose, Chegwidden, the center fielder,
a left-hander. He drove the ball against
the right field wall, over the lawn tennis
courts’ high screen for a home run, which
broke up the game.

People cannot make out the difference
between the two towns. The Shavers put
all their eggs in one basket, while the
Trux people have their busy spot on one
street and the post office on another, off
the main highway.

Every country person knows that the
post office is the ideal meeting place, in|
fact and fiction. Shavertown’s post office]
is at the business center. It seems from
the Trucksville angle Max should either
enlarge his building and rent part of it
to the post office department or else move
his store from the Carverton Road up to
the Stegmaier road by the post office.

Miss Delphine Andrews gave a party
for her young friends on her birthday
recently. They had a fine time.
People would not like this last idea,
because the post office is up over the hill
beyond the high stone bridge and Bow-
man’s Creek branch of the Lehigh Valley
tracks. It is a lovely residential section:
but unhandy sometimes. Leonard's store
is down grade from the main highway
and across the street from the electric
car station. He has the electric car sta-
tion, whereas the post office has the Le-
high Valley Railroad Depot. - The. elec-
tric cars go under a bridge at one street,
while the steam engine goes over the
fifty-foot trestle at the other.
