Delay On Repairs
Irks Local Folks
Center Street Residents
Criticize Methods
Of WPA
Residents of Shavertown are com-
plaining about the slow progress be-
ing made on the resurfacing of Cen-
ter Street. WPA has been working
on the road for the past two years.
Center Street, extending from Shav-
ertown M. E. Church to Stanley Hen-
ning’s Place, is one of the most trav-
eled streets in the township, and has
been in bad condition for several
months.
Greatest need for repair is in the
section between the M. E. Church and
the Lehigh Valley crossing near
Shavertown Lumber Company yards.
WPA work is being carried on at the
far end of the street. Stone and gravel
used is being hauled over a round-
about route from Trucksville almost
back to its point of origin to be plac-
ed on the road. Most observers are of
the opinion that it will be. one or two
vears before the WPA works its way
down to where the road really needs
repair.
Big Roller Runs Away
On Hill Near Millers )
A large road roller owned by Goer-
inger Construction Co. and being used
to smooth down the recently applied
gravel on the Luzerne County end of
Route 92, got out of control one day
last week on the hill near Joe Miller's
place, rolled down the hill, hit an em-
bankment and broke off the king pin
holding the front roller to the big ma-
chine.

In Front Of House

tion in years.

THE MOST FAMOUS BABY IN THE WORLD _
She’s known as “Baby Snooks” to her thousands of fans. Who is she?
Why, Fannie Brice, of course, The “Baby Snooks” character has also
become very popular with children, who, according to fan mail from
various parents, think that “Baby Snodks” is actually a baby.
BRITISH VISITOR FINDS AMERICA
HIDING BEAUTY WITH SIGNBOARDS
ENGLISH AGRICULTURIST VISITS SISTER-IN-LAW
“America is far too commercialized,”
remarked John Sproston of Maccles-
field, Cheshire, England, who, with his
wife, visited Professor and Mrs. Ern-
est Wood and tamily of Ridge street
last week. Mrs. Sproston is the for-
mer Elizabeth Wood, sister of Prof.
Wood.
“One can’t see America for the sign
boards, or hear American radio pro-
grams for the advertising,” Mr. Spros-
ton went on.
Mr, Sproston is an expert agricul-
turist who alternately manages his
large dairy farm and serves as chair-
man of the government agriculture
board of Macclesfield. The agricul-
ture board in England is to farming
what the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission is to transportation and in-
dustry in the United States. The board
fixes rates for farm and dairy pro-
duce, supervises cultivation, and re-
gularly inspects cattle and farm build-
ings to insure sanitary conditions.
“America is a safer place to live than
England. War is rather remote in the
United States, but in England there
is a shortage of agricultural workers
because so much labor is put to work
in the munitions factories and the
army,” said Mr. Sproston.
Mr. Sproston and his wife, who
leave for England this weekend on the
Cythia of the Cunard lines have been
in America for over three weeks, After
visiting farms in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Ohio, the couple spent
more than a week as guests of Prof.
and Mrs. Wood. Last week Mr. Spros-
ton spoke at the Wilkes-Barre Ex-
change Club, comparing English and
American agriculture. “England”, he
stated, “is America in miniature as far
as farming goes. English farmers are
just as modern and up-to-date, but
operate on a generally smaller scale,
for the island is quite congested, All
available farm land is under some
stage of cultivation, for in order to be
successful, the English farmer must
make use of all of his land”.
Sunday the Woods entertained a
large group of people at a dinner in
honor: of Mr. Sproston and his wife.
In addition to the guests of honor, the
‘Woods, and Mrs. David Jenkins, mother
of Mrs. Wood, the following were pre-
sent: Mr. and Mrs. Allen Cooke of
Karney, N. J.; Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
Wane and children, Dorothy, Harold,
Malcolm and Nancy, of Pittston, and
Miss Helena Bartlett of Pittston.
Professor Wood, who came to Amer-
ica twenty-seven years ago, formerly
lived in Lancastershire, England,
BIG FISH
Unusually nice catches of yellow
bass are being hauled in at Lake Car-
ey, according to reports of local ang-
lers who have been fishing there dur-
ing the past few weeks. One of the
largest caught was 28 inches long.
WILL FLY TO BUFFALO
Mrs. Reynolds Host At Family Dinner
Before Leaving To Spend
Summer With Sister
Mrs, George Reynolds of Mt. Green-
wood was hostess at a lovely family
dinner on Monday night at which the
guests were her sister, Miss Rosa E.
Santee of Ocean Grove, N. J., her
brother, W. J. Santee and daughters,
Betty and Ruth, and sons, Richard
and Jack of San Francisco, Mrs.
George J. Reynolds and daughter,
Betsy, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Conrad and
son, Frederick and Miss Betty Boyer
of Lodi, N. Y.
It was Mrs. Santee’s family which
Mrs. Reynolds visited in California
this year. The Santees left the West
Coast on July 1 and made their first
Eastern stop in Buffalo to visit Mr.
Santee’s brother-in-law and sister, Mr.
and Mrs. C. H. Hobart. From Buffalo
the tourists came on to Pittsburgh,
Washington, Philadelphia, New York
and Ocean Grove, where they visited
Miss Santee, who then came on with
them to visit Mrs. Reynolds. The San-
tees left Tuesday for Buffalo, stop-
ping at Penn State, Mr. Santee’s alma
mater. Mr. Santee is associated with
Marsh and McLennan, nationally-
known insurance brokers, and has
been with that firm for 25 years.
Mrs. Reynolds, who returned about
a month ago after a seven-month
stay in California, will fly to Buffalo
within a few days to spend the rest
of the summer as the guest of her
sister, Mrs. C. H. Hobart. Mrs. Rey-
nolds went to California and returned {
by American Airlines planes. J
The Old
Scrap Book
Greetings from Montrose:
As you read this, yours truly is en-
joying a week of rest, vacation, and
spiritual uplift. Drinking deeply the
messages of God's men, and enjoying
the fellowship of many of His mini-
sters. The various conferences con-
tinue until August 14. Why not take a
spin up here and enjoy a day in the
mountains, with wonderful times.
You'll come back refreshed and re-
vived.
Jesus said, “Come ye apart and
rest awhile”. Many follow that ad-
vice, but do they take Him with them?
The human body demands that we
let up sometime and relax. But how
much better when we do it with God’s
strength and His power. By all means,
take a vacation this year; but re-
TRUCK SINKS IN MUD
Henry M. Laing Fire Truck Tied Up
For Several Hours After
Flushing Creek
The fire truck of Henry M. Laing
Fire Co. was out of commission for
several hours on Tuesday when it sank
into the mud while being used to flush
Toby’s Creek,
After the truck had returned from
its call to Penn-Fern gasoline station,
where it had been called to extinguish
a small fire, it was driven to the bank
of the creek. Water was pumped from
Ira Cooke’s spring and directed at the
banks of the creek in an effort to
clean the banks of matter which has
been throwing off odors none to sweet
these hot days. The truck sunk al-
most to the running board and it took
a volunteer crew several hours of hard
work before the big machine was
freed.

tions to be added to the standpipe and
is contemplating speeding up its
pumping facilities. The new sections
have not arrived, but will be installed
as soon as they reach here. The com-
pany believes the improvement will
relieve the situation on Parrish
Heights, where service has been in-
terrupted frequently recently.
I am walking the narrow way;
I care not what the world may say,
And with Him TI’ll brave old Jordon’s
tide
And let the weary world roll on.
The official board was urging the
new preacher to be tactful in his
preaching. “Don’t say much about
liquor,” said one, “Our largest con-
tributor is a brewer”. “Don’t say
anything about graft,” advised an-
other. “Two of our trustees are alder-
men”. A third said, “The soprano is
a grass widow, so lay off divorce”.
“What shall I preach about?” said
the minister with calm. “Pitch into
the Mormons,” said one. “There isn't
a one in town!”
See you next week,
Bob Sutton.

i
LET THE WEARY WORLD
ROLL ON
Other folks may not approve me, }
What is that to me? ’Til life is done
I will try to please my Savior |
And let fhe weary world roll on,
Let their evil tongue assail me,
From the early morn ’til day is past;
I will take it all to Jesus,
And let the weary world roll on.
I will do as Jesus bids me,
I'll forgive them all as He has done;
Let Him only smile upon me,
T'll let the weary world roll on.
