Leadership Here
1,000 Turn Out For Out-door
Rally Of Republicans
At Ox Bow
HARMONY IS KEYNOTE
A drive to have every Republican
registered in time to vote for Judge
Arthur H. James for Governor in Nov-
vember got off to an enthusiastic start
last Saturday when more than 1,000
Republicans from this district turned
out for the Sixth Legislative District
outing at the Ox Bow Lake estate
of Attorney Donald O. Coughlin.
The followers of the Grand Old Par-
ty began arriving early and by noon a
spirited crowd was on hand, attacking
the generous supplies of refreshments
and enjoying the opportunities for
sport. The formal program began in
mid-afternoon, with Peter D. Clark of
Dallas, district chairman, presiding.
Speakers were Attorney Lawrence
Coughlin, County Chairman J, Henry
Poole, County Commissioner John
MacGuffie, District Attorney Leon
Schwartz, Robert Miller, candidate for
Senator; Michael Yeosock, candidate
for Congress, and Attorney William
McLean, 3rd.
The speakers pleaded for a concen-
trated effort to uncover unregistered
Republicans and have them register
‘promptly to protect their vote. They
painted a glowing picture of the Re-
publican opportunity to gain victory
in Pennsylvania this Fall under the
banner of Judge James.
Among the people from Dallas and
vicinity who were seen at the outing
were:
Bob Hoover, Jean Hoover, Ralph
Frantz, Jake Harrison, Dick Row-
lands, William Rowlands, Giles Moore,
Harold Lloyd, Jake Gossart, Wilfred
Moore, Bill Cobleigh, Marvin McCar-

POST SCRIPTS
(Continued from Page 1)
Pegler: That's what I am getting
at. This thing has ceased to be a lark.
It’s become a business. We must have
an- executive business director with a
competent staff,
Tunney: I think we are growing too
fast. Let's not get cocky.
Reynolds: Personally I think we
pay too much rent. Broun would ilke
to move to Stamford.
Brown: No, New Canaan is a nicer
address. When we get our second
class privileges we should mail out of
the New Canaan post office, I think.
But we could move our own office in
New Canaan, if you think it best.
Bye: I never saw such a restless
crowd. We have been here only since
April—
Reynolds: It’s going to be as hot
as blazes in here—ard we'll have to
have about eight big fans—
Pegler: But, Quent, you forget
about our wax gals down in the hair-
dressing window below—Drusilda and
Gwendoline. If they can stand the
heat—
Reynolds: We'll stay.
——y
And we echo Quentin Renolds’ con-
cession with our own fervent wish that
they do stay, all of them, and flourish.
We'll stay.
Stiff Opposition To School
Merger Mounting Locally
(Continued trom Page 1)
through a larger unit of administra-
tion.
“The need for merging many a small
school district in Pennsylvania in order
to create an administrative unit large
enough to support an adequate educa-
tional program has been evident to all
students of school administration for
many years,” Superintendent Ade says.
“The factors which influence the
movement toward larger attendance
areas are the improved roads and
transportation facilities and the need
for an enlarged and enriched program
of learning for the individual who
must prepare himself to live efficient-
ly in our modern society. For these
reasons both elementary and second-
ary schools should be large enough to
make a wide and diverse offering of
school activitits.”
RIVER LEVEL LOW
Mountain streams are unusually low
due to the absence of rainfall, with
the result that the Susquehanna river
is lower than is usual for July.

“MISTAKE”
Forbidden to fly his 9-year-old
patchwork ‘plane across the Atlantic,
Douglas Gorce Corrigan, 31-year-old
California mechanic, took off from
New York Sunday morning, presum-
ably for the West Coast, turned up 28
hours, 13 minutes later in Dublin, in-
sisted he thought he was headed to-
ward California until he dropped be-
low the clouds and saw Ireland. Next
day admiring members of the Burling-

Corrigan to membership.

As it must, even to Queens, death
came this week to Marie, Queen of

end, Marie died of a liver disease so
rare only about 50 such cases have

CHIEF WARNS BOATERS
THEY MUST HAVE LIGHT
WHEN ON LAKE AT NIGHT
A stern warning against taking
a boat out on Harvey's Lake after
dark without adequate lighting
was issued yesterday by Chief Ira
C. Stevenson of Harvey's Lake.
The practice of fishing, sailing
or canoeing without a light is
dangerous, the Chief said, and a
violation of the law.
He declared he is anxious for
everyone to know of his warning
because he is launching a drive to
curb the practice and those who
disobey in the future will be liable
to arrest and fine.
Directors Divide On Accept-
ance Of Teacher’s Apology
Continued from Page 1)
“In plain words, I'm for the disciplin-
ing of Line. I'm voting in favor of
dismissal.”
“Well,” said Mr. Disque, “I'm voting
no, for a number of reasons, and you
| can record my vote that way.”
Then Mr. Lapp made a motion, sec-
onded by Mr. Disque, that the directors
vote on whether Line should be re-
tained or dismissed. Disque, Jeter and
Baker voted for retention, Ayre and
Lapp for dismissal.
Mr, Jeter hesitated some time before
he cast his vote. Finally, he said:
“I don’t think we ought to carry it any
farther,” and voted for retention.
Motion Is Re-worded
After the vote Daniel A, Waters,
secretary, read a message from the
law covering such votes and requiring
a two-thirds vote. Mr. Lapp then
withdrew his motion and Mr, Disque
his second amd another motion was
called to accept Line's apology and re-
tain him as a teacher.
Mr. Jeter made the motion and Mr.
Disque seconded it. The directors
voted as before, 3 to 2 in favor of ac-
ceptance of Line’s apology. It was
stressed afterward that the motion
was not meant to exonerate Line from
the charges.
At conclusion of the meeting Secre-
tary Waters was instructed to advise
Attorney B. B. Lewis, solicitor, who
was absent, so he can inform Line's
counsel promptly of the board's de-
cision.
In contrast to some of the heated
sessions of Dallas school boards in
the past, it was pleasant to see the dl-
rectors shake hands cordially after the
meeting and assure each other sin-
cerely that there were no grudges held
as a result of the division of opinion.
Despite that division the meeting was
marked by calm and dignified discus-
sion, with none of the directors even
raising his voice above a conversation-
al tone,
