Plant One Of First |
01 Kind In Valley
An interesting Wyoming Valley
industry, recently opened at 595
Market Street, Kingston, .is the
Raker Paint factory. The company
is operated by Lester Raker, a grad-
uate of Prait Institute, Brooklyn
and a chemical engineer. Before
coming to Kingston Mr. Raker was
employed in the research labora-
"tories of the National Lead Com-
pany, makers of Dutch Boy White
Lead, in New York City. Later he
managed production in the Raker
Paint factory in Scranton. The bus-
iness in Scranton was established
fifty years ago by Mr. Raker’s
grandfather.
Grinding of pigments and mixing
of paint is done in the factory at
Kingston, and the public is always
welcome to visit the plant and
watch the paints in process of man-
. ufacture. Barn, house, implement
and furniture paints are manufac-
tured. Besides this the company
handles complete lines of enamels
and varnishes for every type of use
and service. It also handles a
large selection of wall papers in the
newest and most modern patterns.
The company furnishes ladders
and spray equipment to those who
purchase paint from the factory.
This has been a popular feature this
spring. Customers who are not sure
f the exact amount of paint need-
for their work, simply take the
measurements of the surface they
wish to cover to Mr. Raker and he
can tell them how much paint they
will need and the cost for all ma-
terials for the work. 7

} Expect Appropriation For
* Swoyersville Town Hall
. Between five hundred and a thou-
sand dollars, sought from the WPA
by Swoyersville Borough Council for
the completion of the Town Hall
project, will be allocated to the bor-
ough in the early part of June, it
was disclosed by Burgess John Bro-
_ @ inski this week.
Joye project, which includes re-
“irs and alterations to the borough
building on Shoemaker Street, was
_ discontinued last month when the
"- labor appropriation ran out, and
employment was taken from a doz-
en laborers.
It will take less than $1,000 to
complete the job, and the appropri-
ation is expected to be approved by
WPA officials sometime next week,
according to Burgess Brominski.
Council is in a position to finance
' the necessary materials, he stated.

TOWN MEETING
(Continued from Page 2)
five jobs for Democrats and twenty-
two jobs for Republicans.
Previously they had fought
through the courts for forty-nine
appointments, with John Riley and
Bob Bierly tieing the Davis-Mac-
Guffie vote and MacGuffie stoutly
declaring that with the G. O. P.
county majority he never would
submit to minority representation.
The Democratic Court handed down
twenty-two jobs and the Commis-
sioners lost twenty-seven.
So, the twenty-seven were subject
to another appeal, with the same
old division of forces. Economy and
patronage became so confused you
could not distinguish one from the
other. On Saturday, the day of
the Guild show, the award to five
Democrats brought the better
awards to twenty-two Republicans,
all of whom should be on duty the
day The Post goes to press.
And there were your Guildsmen
in their Gridiron entertainment,
parodying and paraphrasing the
song of “The Three Little Fishes,”
to this effect:
Three County Commissioners rule
Luzerne,
Where a wage or salary is hard to
* earn, 3
Where the, spoils belong to the
G. 0. P.
And the County Controller to
Democracy. \
“We want,” said MacGuffie, “lots
of extra clerks
“To list the voters or they'll jam
the works;”
“You're right,” chimed in Davis,
“and I'll motion so,”
But Riley countered with a robust
“NO!”
And Bierly shouted “DENIED!”
The lid went down with a loud
ker-slam
With registration in an awful jam.
Oh, Judges, listen to our tale of
woe:
There's a way to arbitrate a “Yes”
and “no”.
When county officials are an
even split
it seems that business is
about to quit.
MacGuffie and Davis must the
voters woo,
And Riley’s looking for election
too,
They all want the jobs and they
fail to see
There is always danger in monop-
oly.
So, count up the vacant spots,
Divide them in equal lots;
Give each side a shake of the old
plum tree,
And we'll hear no more about
economy.
And
Chorus:
Give politicians their share of the
jam, >
And the flow of business you
never can dam.
Well, your narrator liked the
Guild show. As gridironers the
newspapermen of Wyoming Valley
did a much better job with local
material than the more publicized
Washingtonians have many a time
done with national subjects. This
scrivener shall never forget Martha
Thomas of the Record as one of the
Garble sisters.
Nor will memory lose for a long
time the lilting cadences of “The
Ruler of the Keystone State.” Dal-
las has a claim upon the Governor,
because ‘a very important member
of the James family, Mrs. Agnes
James Spry, wife of David, is a
neighbor in Shavertown. How bet-
ter portray, in brief form, the ‘idea
of the man who was elected Com-
monwealth Chief after the fashion
of the famous Sir Joseph Porter
who became Admiral of the Queen’s
Nah-vee by never, no, never going
to sea? Here's the song and if you
know your Gilbert & Sullivan and
“Pinafore” you can sing it:
THE RULER OF THE KEYSTONE
STATE
When I was only a small galoot
I spent vacations in a breaker
chute,
I threw out boney and discarded
rock
Which the miners had to shovel
and the bosses dock;
I tumbled out such mountains of
wasteful slate
That now I am ruler of the Key-
stone State.

THREE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
When I grew older I peddled ice
With a horse and wagon and a
tong device,
I shaved it neatly and I brushed
it clean
Til it glistened with the brilliance
of a diamond’s sheen;
I cut the ice exactly as to size
and weight
And now I am ruler of the Key-
stone State.
The breaker days are an epoch
past
And boys no longer heed the
whistle’s blast,
The ice-man’s finished with his
chilly toil
With freezing automatic
kitchen coil;
Machines have caused a freeze-
out of the humble skate,
So I became the ruler of the Key-
sne State.
stone State.
in a
So, neighbors all of Old Shawnee,
On roads to fortune take a tip
from me:
Don’t choose endeavors that are
circumspect
If you'd be cutting ice among the
State’s elect;
Forget the diplomatic frills and
pick the slate
And you may be the ruler of the
Keystone State.

As far as your correspondent
could judge, the only important
absentees were those who owe most
to the scribes. Governor James
fought to get there and was defeat-
ed by the last-hour jam in the
Legislature. However, he did send
for copies of the show and saw to
it that a letter was at the banquet
table early Saturday night. In that
letter the Governor declared that
he had at least an evening’s enjoy-
able reading. And his only regret
was that he was compelled to re-
main away from the Gridironing
which would have smoothed out
many a wrinkle in his executive
brow. —A READER.
