ys, the men just sat around, dazed
hat it had come to an end. Probably
hey would have stayed that way if
an Irishman, Captain Brady, hadn’t
~ walked in. “You know, this is a ter-
rible outfit,” he said, “here the war’s
yver and nobody’s getting drunk.”
"So the unit moved its quarters to
miens and proceeded to uphold the
~ honor of the 107th. Mr. Hunt says
hat, being adjutant, he had to be-
have himself, up until the time an
American general and a French gen-
ral started to lead the group sing-
ing.
~~ Suspected Armistice Near
Albert Stitzer, of Orchard Street,
Shavertown, who served with Com-
pany B, 145th Battalion, Light Tank
rps, was stationed at the Bayonville
ront when the war came to an end.
ie men had suspected that an ar:
mistice would be signed for several
ys before it came about, he says,
and the confirmation brought no cele-
bration among them. They were just
glad it was over. }
He fought with the tank corps at
~ St. Mihiel and in the Argonne Forest.
Of 144 six-ton, 2-men tanks which had
started at St. Mihiel, only five were
fit for action at the end of Argonne.
Although the 11th passed quietly
for him and his companions, he did
celebrate modestly four days later,
for on November 15th he took his
first bath since September 4th.
Art Brown heard the news of the
armistice while he was at work in
the Toul section, along the Meuse
River. ;
geant with a detached unit, 1st Army
~ Medical Convoy Service, and didn’t
feel much like celebrating because he
knew there was a’ lot of work ahead
of him, for the wounded and shell-
shocked were still being brought in.
“The hardest part of the armistice,”
Art said, “was trying to convince the
French that the war was really over.
They were overjoyed, of course, but
some of the older men just shrugged. |
Because for France, there’s always
‘another war just around the corner.

ADVICE
Before we leave the historic 1938
election we should like to say simply
“Thanks” to John V. Heffernan. It
has not been easy for us, during the
* last month, to cover and study and un-
~ derstand alone all the cross-currents
and complications of the late, lament-
ed campaign. The demands upon this
country paper have been unusual and
we like to believe that we have, in
some measure, answered them well.
If we did keep abrast of campaign de-
velopments, it is largely due to Mr.
Heffernan, who time and again sup-
plied background information for our
stories and helped us to score several
7 on
memorable exclusive election “scoops”.
That's all, except that the thing
that pleased us most about this elec-
tion was that, so far as we know, we
come out of this election without a
solitary new enemy but with a great
many fine, new friends.

Attorney Jonathan Valentine was
appointed solicitor of Dallas Borough
School Board on Wednesday night to
succeed Attorney B. B. Lewis, the
change to take effect on December 1.
The salary will be $150 a year, the

Co., which is represented locally by
Stanley Doll.
A letter was received from WPA
notifying the board that its request
for approval of a plan to construet
an addition to Dallas Borough High
School had been refused.
The board discussed the frequent
scarcity of water at the schools, a
condition which has resulted in dis-
missal of pupils on two days recently.
The directors authorized an investi-
gation to learn the cost of drilling a
well and, constructing a private water
system.

By MISS FRANCES DORRANCE
The sudden death of Samuel C.
Chase on Thursday evening, Novem-
ber 3rd, brought to a close a life of
steadfast service which had won the
affection of many friends and the de-
votion of a wide community.
In every walk in life, all who knew
him were his friends; the guards at
the County Prison, where as board
member he gave attention to any de-
tail of that responsibility; the for-
mer employes of the old Coal Ex-
change Building; the management of
was president; the prominent business
and professional men and women of
integrity of his purpose and appre-
ciated the cheery, kindly thoughtful-

ness which efficiently accomplished its
aims. !
To the community’s wide interests
and needs he gave tirelessly of
strength and time in a passionate de-
sire to be of service.
The persistence of his interest has
been manifested in his twenty-five
years as secretary of the Wyoming
Historical and Geological Society, in
which his determination to promote
its well-being was a prime stimulus
to the work.
His connection with the Chamber
of Commerce since its beginning and
his offices as director since 1932, as-
sistant treasurer since 1936 are an
evidence of public trust.
The development of the content-
ment and happiness of the old men
in the Sutton Home was another deep
interest, as was also the promotion of
Hollenback Park. As manager and
trustee of the Hollenback Estate, he
made every effort to carry out this
last public plan of John Welles Hol-
lenback to the fullest extent. Per-
haps it was to the Welfare Federa-
tion as the coordinating force in the
Community’s social service that he
gave the most thought and it seems
fitting that his last evening was spent
in planning for its advance.
To his church, the First Presbyter-
ian of Wilkes-Barre, he gave unfail-
