e THE ONLY WAY anybody can find
out anything about Malcolm McCulloch,
former football coach at Lehman High
School, is by reading the newspapers.
Modest Mal, who was appointed to a
physical education teaching post in
Wilkes-Barre schools the middle of
this winter, won’t tell on himself. But
his latest escapade speaks louder than
words.
After it was all over, the silent Scot
probably just went home and went to
bed without a second thought. But
newspapermen dashed for their type-
writers. For Mal McCulloch, who plays
‘pro basketball for the Pittston Pirates
of the NYP League, put on one of the
greatest individual exhibitions ever re-
corded in NYP books in a payoff game
with Elmira last Thursday night.
The genial sportsman, who has
been more steady than colorful
during the basketball season, em-
barked on a scoring spree the like
of which has never been seen in
NYP championship playoffs and
tossed in 20 counters as Pittston
walloped Elmira, 39-32, in the sec-
ond game of the crucial title series.
eo ATHOUGH WELL down the list of
NYP scoring stars and blanketed in the
first game of the three-way series at
Elmira, Mal took the opposition guards
in his six foot two inch stride that
Thursday night and tallied nine field
goals and two fouls, giving his team
mates sufficient margin for their
7-point victory.
Perhaps he was just as surprised as
everyone else at his opportune brill-
iance, or maybe he just didn’t want to
disappoint the loyal Pittston rooters,
who packed Assembly Hall in spite of
the odds against the Pirates. But it’s
assure bet that after the final whistle
blew he just scratched his head, smiled
a little ruefully and said, “What's
everybody so excited about?”
While he was stationed at Leh-
man, Mal was without a doubt the
most taciturn of the local coaches.
It took a lot of digging to get any-
thing out of him at all, especially
about himself. One week last No-
vember he just didn’t know any-
thing at all. And it wasn’t until
several days later that we discov-
ered he had just been married.
“But why would anybody want to
know about that?”
e A LOT OF YOUNG fellows around
Dallas are going to turn up at the Dal-
las “night club” tomorrow when the
new boxing club gets under way. Earl
Kinsman, who had a brilliant record
among the lightweights in Dixie, will
doubtless have a lot to do with the
training of the hopefuls.
But Kinsman is just a bright young
fellow compared to such seasoned vet-
erans as Johnnie Hayden, owner of the
night club, and Pete Oberst, who cuts
hair just a stone’s throw away.
Pete may have passed his heyday,
but he’s mighty certain he could give
Johnnie, who was a potent professional
more years ago than he likes to think
about, a pretty good battle.
Pete wasn’t in a very threaten-
ing mood the day we talked to
him, so we're doing his challeng-
ing for him. Of course, he may
need a little help in the clinches
from his barbering mate, George
Hofmeister.
But the battle ought to go at least
three rounds. By then Johnnie should
be too tired to do anything even if he
could catch up with Pete and the pair
could settle their differences over a
bottle of beer. What's good enough
for Tony Galento is good enough for
us . . . and everyone knows that fights
these days don’t go over three rounds,
anyhow.

Community Aid
1938 Baseball Champions
Organize For New Season
A drive for public support for the
Dallas Arrows, crack local baseball
team which won the league champion-
ship last year and which is now or-
ganizing for the 1939 season, was
launched this week with the aid of a
number of civic-minded residents of
the community.
Primarily, the campaign is to raise
funds to buy uniforms for the local
nine. J. H. MacVeigh of Center Hill
Road has been elected business man-
ager and Don Grose has been elect-
ed manager and secretary-treasurer.
Already a number of prominent citi-
zens, impressed by the team’s record
last year, have lent their support to
the movement.
A meeting of the league will be held
soon to enter teams and prepare a
schedule.
Revered Native Dies
At Centremoreland
James VanTuyle, 72, Buried
In Fitch Cemetery Monday;
Taught Bible Class
Centremoreland people mourned this
week the passing of James VanTuyle,
72, beloved Sunday School teacher at
Centremoreland M. E. Church, who
died last Friday of complications at his
home.
Largely attended funeral services
were held Monday afternoon at 2 from
the home with services in charge of
Rev. Thomas Klein of Centremoreland
M. E. Church. Interment was in the
family plot in Fitch Cemetery.
Born February 9, 1868, in Centre-
moreland, son of the late Newman and
Lydia Montanye VanTuyle, he spent his
life in that section. Described by
friends as “one of the finest citizens
of Centremoreland,” Mr. Van Tuyle
was a successful farmer and a member
of the Grange. He was active in
church affairs and for many years
taught the Men’s Bible Class at Cen-
tremoreland M. E. Church.
He is survived by his wife, Edith
| Eggleston VanTuyle, and one brother,
Corey, of Centremoreland.
Huntsville Folks Honor
Mrs. Prutzman For Service
Mrs. Celeste Prutzman, one of the
oldest residents of Huntsville, was hon-
ored for her services to the Huntsville
M. E. Church recently by a group of
friends meeting at the home of Mrs.
S. H. Sturdevant.
The group enjoyed music from a new
radio which they presented to Mrs.
Prutzman after the party. Games were
played and lunch was served to Mr.
and Mrs. George Learn, Mr. and Mrs.
Ray Prutzman, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Van
Orden, Walter Harris, Alfred Rogers,
Mrs. Paul Johnson, Mrs. Harry Ed-
wards, Mrs. S. P. Frantz, Mrs. Marlin
Wagner, Mrs. Celeste Prutzman, Mrs.
J. A. Rogers, Mrs. Flora Wilcox, Mrs.
George Castenbauder, Mrs. A. J. Cad-
walter, Mrs. T. Stickell, Mrs. S. H.
Sturdevant, and Miss Ruth Bertram.

ing Club according to John Hayden,
former professional boxer, who is
fathering the organization. ;
The Main floor of Mr. Hayden's es-
tablishment will be turned over to the
boxers, who will train and work out
under supervision. Application for

ATJEFFERSONDAY DINNER
The anniversary of Jefferson Day
will be fittingly celebrated by Luzerne
County Democrats with a banquet at
Hotel Sterling on the night of Thurs-
day, April 13. Places reserved up to
yesterday numbered well above the
700 mark and the indications are that
the entire dining hall and ballroom
service of the mezzaine floor will be
required to accommodate the attend-
ance.
Of outstanding importance in the
occasion is the announcement that
Thomas Kennedy, secretary-treasurer
of the United Mine Workers of Amer-
ica and recently retired from the of-
fice of lieutenant-governor in Penn-
sylvania, will deliver the chief mes-
sage of the night in the form of a pre-
pared address upon which Mr. Kennedy
has been working for the past six
weeks. County Chairman James J.
Law is in charge of general arrange-
ments for the banquet and is aided
by committees of Democrats in every
section of Luzerne County.
Recent developments at Harrisburg
forecast a fighting Democracy in the
present year. Since Luzerne County
has been the very pivot on which Jef-
fersonian affairs have turned there is
additional significance attached to the
anniversary dinner on the night of
April 13 and the assurance is that
men high in the Roosevelt councils
will be among the guests from out-of-
town.
In contradiction to the prices set
during the high tide of Democratic
prosperity in Luzerne County the |
ticket admission for Jefferson Day is
at an economy level, the desire being
that the rank and file of the unterri-
fied shall have the bulk of representa-
tion at the festive boards. Discussions
that will be had around the tables,
pointed by suggestions from the floor,
are expected to bring forward the def-
inite announcements of men who will
make the campaign for offices to be
filled this year by Luzerne County
voters. There are eleven chief posts
open with hundreds of dependent ap-
'pointments.
Traction Company
Ready For Change
Will Substitute Buses
When Tracks Are Moved
Transportation between Dallas and
Wilkes-Barre will be improved consid-
erably this spring when three new bus-
es take the place of street cars on the
Dallas line.
Bus service will be instituted when
work on the upper end of the Luzerne
by-pass necessitates the removal of
street car tracks on Main Street, Lu-
zerne, Edwin A. Hoffman, superin-
tendent of the Wilkes-Barre Railway
Corporation, said this week.
The conveyances will be of the same
type soon to be used on the West Side
when Wyoming Avenue is rebuilt into
a modern concrete highway. Built by
the Wyoming Valley Autobus Company,
the buses will be able to accommodate
31 passengers comfortably and will be
faster and quieter than those now run-
ning between Wilkes-Barre and Kings-
ton.
The three new buses will run on a
schedule similar to that of the Dallas
street cars and will operate under the
control of the Wilkes-Barre Railway
Corporation. Active motormen will be
converted into bus drivers to avoid
any unemployment problem which
might be occasioned by the discontin-
STAN MOORE’S TALK 1
PURINA-LAYENA
EGGS .....
Through modern controlled methods
of feeding chickens you control the
eggs. The use of Purina’s Pellet and
Mash, balanced ration, with con-
sumption control assures
1. Uniform yolks and whites
2. Vitamin values.
3. Proper nourishment to assure
healthy embryo chicks.
Fertility of such eggs is 10 to 15%
higher than the U. S. Government
average. That is only one reason
why it pays to feed Purina. You
can see the difference Purina makes.
Here's Local Proof
Dick Puterbaugh and Clarence Hil-
bert of Beaumont are hatching 89%
consistently from Purina Embryo
Fed Eggs.

Lancasters Are Conducting
Services At Noxen
A two-week Gospel campaign is be-
ing conducted in Noxen Gospel Tab-
ernable by the Lancaster evangelistic
party. Evangelist Robert Lancaster
gives timely Bibical messages in an
interesting manner which holds the
attention of his audience. Each mes-
sage is preceded by a ‘Live Wire”
song service, directed by Arden Lan-
caster, chorister and soloist, and Bob
Sutton, pianist. Meetings are held
every week-night except Monday, at
7:45 and on Sunday afternoons at 3.
The campaign will end Sunday, April 9.
The Lancaster party may also be heard
each morning at 9:30 from Tuesday to
Saturday over WGBI, Scranton.
uing of street car service, according to
Mr. Hoffman.
The removal of street car tracks on
the West Side will improve travel con-
ditions to a very great extent. In Lu-
zerne particularly, the relatively Slow
street cars have held up traffic on
narrow Main Street and the tracks
have been a hazard during wet and
icy weather.
