There are some people who recall
the Luzerne drum corps which had
- Dave Evans as bass drummer, Johnnie
Mooie as fifer, the MacCollough bro-
thers and others as drummers. In the
Kingston drum corps was ex-Congress-
man C. Murray) Turpin playing the
and Sam Gilbert as bass drummer.
Sam smashed both drumheads in at
the dedication of the Larksville High
School. Clifford Lawley, Clifford Dev-
ens and Robert Nicol were in a class
by themselves handling the drum stick.
Jack Nicol played the cymbals. Dor-
ranceton once had a fine corps with
Newitt as drum major. He was a wiz-
ard with the baton. We missed the old
drum corps on the Fourth,

was held last Sunday at 8:30 on the

veteran Bible teacher and evangelist
of note, had charge of the meeting.
The Fourth was well spent—the mo-
money we mean. Every young American
in the township was free as the early
Indians. In the old days one of the
best things about the Fourth was the
iron cannon which sounded the big
salutes.

flower shop in New York and it was
into that shop that there came one
day a dignified old gentleman whose
face was strangeiy familiar.
After the patron had picked a bou-
tonierre Mr. Protopapas told him he
thought they must have met some-
where. Somehow, he associated the
face with other events which had
transpired in Southern Africa.
A little proudly, the aged gentleman
said it was quite likely that his face
might be fauniliar, since he had been
an actor on many stages for many
years.
“Have you ever played in Cape-
town?” Dmitris asked.
The old man had.
“In 1909?” asked Mr. Protopapas.
Assuredly! ‘Then Mr. Protopapos
had seen him. That night he had
played such and such a role. Ah, that
was a play. He had been inspired that
evening. He remembered—.
‘While Myr. Prctopapas gasped, the
dignified old gentleman, fired by the
memories of long-past applause, laun-
ched into the role he had played in
Capetown. He swung his arms. He
declairmed. He stalked. And, as cur-
ious passers-by began to stop and
crowd into the window to view the
impressive performance, the old actor
became so excited in his role he tore
his collar completely off and began to
work on more intimate parts of his ap-
parel.
Mr. Protopapas somehow ended the
impromptu dramatics, and was, ever
after that, very careful about recall-
ing their early conquests to actors.
Kal
Our friend, Dmitris Protopapas can
speak, of course, of almost any big
city or any section of the world, but
we like his stories of Africa best, for
he spent some years there, and knows
the Dark Continent as few men do.
It was some mention of the diamond
mine by! us that started our conver-
sation with him, and introduced us to
his pleasant personality. We had
heard from a man who has just re-
turned from Africa of the dogs which
guard the diamond mines.
An attendant at the mine who was
showing his dogs to this traveler aske
ed him for a match. He waved the
match a few times before a blood-
hound’s snout, gave it back to our
friend, and said:
“Now walk away from this spot a-
bout a hundred yards and stick the
match in the rth.”
‘While ¢ ir friend marched obedient-
ly away, the attendant covered the
dog’s head with his coat, so he should
not see our friend’s movements. Our
friend shoved the match into the
ground and came back.

RE
THE DALLAS POST,
Directors Give
Martin Contract
(Continued from page 1)
Approve Playground
At the same meeting the directors
approved a plan to conduct a play-
ground on the athletic field beside the
high school daily this summer. The
plans were launched some time ago by
Prof. Martin, with co-operation of the
Kiwanis Club, and that service group
has volunteered to purchase a part of
the stationery’ equipment to be used.
Ty Carr, who has been directing
basketball and softball leagues in this
section, will have charge of the play-
ground, which will be linked with those
of Wiyoming Valley Playground and
Recreation Association directed by
Miss Ruth Swezey. Ome of Mr. Carr's
two NYA assistants will be Marion
Heale. There will also be special
classes. The WPA will provide 'mova-
able equipment.
New Proje
After consigerable fdiscussion, the
board approved tegtative plans to
renovate the Truckgville seiool build-
ings, at a cost to t trict of about
$2,800. WPA will labor costs,
pay
which may) run over $6,000.
With the Shavertown building in
splendid condition and the new annex
almost completed at the high school
the improved Trucksville building,
which has been badly in need of re-
pairs, will give the Kingston Township
school district one of the best groups
of buildings in this section.
Two vacancies exist on the township
faculty now. Helen Reynolds, a sixth
grade teacher, and Elvie Griffith, a
third grade teacher, resigned to be
married.
“Get it,” said the attendant, releas-
ing the bloodhound. The dog circled
the spot a few times then set -off, nose
to the ground, in our friend's tracks.
In a minute or two he stopped, grasp-
ed a hunk of sod in his jaws, and
trotted back.
The. attendant took the dirt, sifted
it gently in his hands, and when the
dust and grass had fallen away, there,
in his hand, was our friend's match.
—_——
As we say, we were telling this
story! when the gentleman to whom
this week’s column is devoted came in
and sat quietly down. When a few
friend's challenged our story of the
dog, he interrupted politely and as-
sured them it was”true. He had, it
seemed, been around diamond mines
quite a bit. Then he told tales that
made our little story seem dull.
——
He told stories of days in Africa
when natives were selling rough, un-
finished diamonds for half a crown
and finding few buyers. He told of
diamond preserves which are guarded
by the government, lest their treasure
be released in a flood which would
wreck the diamond market. :
He told of the strict regulations
governing employes who work in the
mines, men who must sign contracts
and stay’ within the limits of the high
fence while they are employed, and
who must be isolated, for eamina-
tion inside and out, for ‘wo days be-
fore tha leave the property.
And yet, Mr. Protopapos said, there
are those who beat the rules__for a
while. One was a restaurant owner,
who had a business hard by the fence
which enclosed the mines. He had
great flocks of chickens, which he al-
lowed to run about, picking up their
food where they might.
In the course of time, many’ of the
chickens were bound to wander undet
the fence into the diamond preserve,
and, by the same monotonous rule,
workers inside who had managed to
secrett diamonds somewhere, would
have an opportunity to throw a pre-
cious stone unseen where a chicken
with an appetite for glass might pick
it up.
It was a slow process, for many of
the chickens were killed: and their
crops examined without results. But
when a chicken did give up a rough
diamond it paid well for all the inno-
cent fowl who had failed.
The smuggler was caught eventually.
His downfall was one strange enough,
lowing supplies and services:
ment supplies and equipment, art sup-
plies, furniture, changes in fire alarm
systems, replacement of heating and
lighting systems, linoleum floor.
