for our interview with Galli Gurci
you could have any of them, for a
nickel a dozen. All we learned was
that the bigger a man is, the bigger
he is.
——
HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS where
managing editors find the assign-
ments they write on their day
books to plague reporters. If there
is any truth to the “little bird”
theory, that assignment book is its
living, fiendish proof. The scrawled
notations there burst like a clap of
thunder upon the reporter's un-
troubled consciousness and send him
off to Hell and gone on the most
insane errands.
All our assignment said on that
day was ‘Spiritualist gets Conan
Doyle” and the address. Conan
Doyle, a distinguished spiritualist,
had promised to send back word of
his adventures, and all over the
world sensitive ears were tuned for
the first sound of his messages from
the spirit world. All but ours.
We stalled as long as we could,
but 7:30 p. m. found us rapping on
the dimly-lit door of a third-floor
walk-up apartment. After proper |
explanations, we were ushered into |
a room where seven or eight people
were sitting, They had, it seemed,
come from a seance, but conditions
were unfavorable—and so they were
preparing to leave.
We were reluctant to go back
without a story, so we pleaded for
a try at it, anyway, and when the
medium hesitantly agreed we out-
did ourselves to be helpful.
We put the trumpets together and
put them in the center of the bed-
room. We carried chairs in from
circle. We climbed a ladder and
hung a comforter over the skylight,
to bar the light of a red neon sign
which was sending a sickly glow
into the room. We even took off our
wrist watch by request,
someone thought the phosphore-
scent gleam might unnerve the
spectres. And then we flipped out
the light and sat down to wait.
—_0—
THERE WAS, at first, a good deal
of hymn singing and praying. Hav-
ing no special talent for either, we
sat quietly, and a little self-con-
sciously, our eyes riveted on the
shining lips of the trumpets, the
only points of light in the black
room. In the midst of one burst
of song, and about the time the
emotional strain was beginning to
unnerve us, one of the trumpets
trembled, upset and rolled under
a chair. We never did see it again
until the lights went on.
The other trumpet quivered sev-
eral times, then lifted itself slow-
lye and floated tremulously toward
the ceiling. It hesitated a moment,
‘then it began circling the room,
high above us. When it thumped us
heartily upon the right shoulder
we had to still a desire to leave
right then, but the trumpet floated
gracefully away, and we steeled our-
selves for the worst. ’
Just which spirit was the first we
can’t remember now. We know we
talked to an Irish traffic cop, and a
little girl sang “Brighten the Corner
Where You Are.” The big scene
was introduced by Dorsages, sup-
posedly an Egyptian seer, whose
deep, vibrant voice explained that
he was hunting for Sir Arthur and
that we could expect him any min-
ute. As it turned out he came
rather unexpectedly and frightened
the whole bunch of us nearly to
death.
We were entering into the spirit
of the thing to such an extent that we
could chat casually with the voices
issuing from the trumpet. What
electric current passed through the
air to interrupt us we don’t know.
But suddenly the trumpet shot up
to one corner of the room and we
were back on the edge of our chair.
The voice that we heard was loud
and stentorian.
It shouted “I am alive! I am alive!
Tell it to the world. I am alive!”
And then the aluminum trumpet
crashed six feet to the floor, as if
someone had hurled it mightily with
full force.
——
THERE WAS only silence and
thick blackness in the little room
for a while, before everyone burst
at once into excited chattering.
Personally, we were disappointed
by the brevity of Sir Arthur's mes-
sage, so we pleaded for more, and
a short time later the voice re-
turned and talked to us of spiritual-
ism and of the pleasant existence he
was enjoying in the spirit world.
Then the voice suggested that we
hurry back to our paper and write
what we learned and said “Good
night” and someone turned on the
lights and the seance was over.
A good many of the details of
that seance have faded but the
thing which stands out clearest now
—even more clearly than Sir Arth-
ur's startling pronouncement— is
the silvery notes which floated
through the walls from a player-
piano in a neighboring speakeasy.
The tinkle-tinkle of the faint notes
kept getting mixed with the hymns
and the voices from the trumpet.
We remember, too, how strange
the busy street looked when we
stepped out of the dark stair well
into the balmy, twinkling summer
night. ‘It was as if we had been in
another world.

the bear pelts they wanted so badly.
On the last day, as they were head-
ing for camp, their opportunity
came.
Three grizzlies, one so silver-
tipped he was almost white, came
lumbering along within sight. The
Kiefers pressed in as closely as they
dared. The best specimen was the
near-white bear, but he was out of
range yet, and the other two were
near enough, so the Kiefers called
their shots and fired.
When Mr. Kiefer had dropped his
bear he turned to see how Mrs.
Kiefer was doing. She had wounded
the grizzly and it was swinging
around, running away. That was
when Mrs, Kiefer earned her laurels
as a modern Diana. She aimed
carefully, squeezed the trigger, and
sent the bullet neatly into the bear’s
shoulder. He made a complete som-
ersault and rolled, lifeless 1,000 feet
on down the mountain.
Mr. Kiefer, who has seen innum-
erable good shots in his years of
hunting, counts that one among the
best he has ever watched. The
grizzlies, which weighed about
400-450 pounds, about average size,
measured 6% feet from snout to
root of tail.
Altogether, the two Kiefers ac-
counted for two grizzlies, two moose,
one caribou, four mountain goats
and two timber wolves. They also

Elicker’s A Father
Joe Elicker, ace publicity man
who has been devoting his talents to
Nassau in the Bahamas lately, was
so excited when his daughter was
born at Geisinger Hospital, Danville,
this week, he clean forgot to give
the item to the newspapers.
Mr. and Mrs. Elicker lived on Pio-
neer Avenue, Dallas, until they mov-
ed to the Bahamas. Both Mrs. Elick-
er and Carol Louise, who arrived
weighing 8% pounds, are doing
nicely, and Joe, himself, is begin-
ning to recover his usual agile wits
after the first impact of fatherhood.
killed blue grouse, ruffed grouse,
fool hen and ptarmigan for food and
enjoyed a variety of Dolly Varden
trout, freshly-caught in the moun-
tain streams.
With the help of their binoculars,
they saw an amazing variety of
game. Mrs. Kiefer claimed sight
of 116 big game animals, Mr. Kiefer,
96.
The trip out and back took them
over 7,000 miles, not to include the
estimated 250 miles they traveled
on foot and on horse while they
were in the mountains.
Their duffle, carefully planned to
the smallest detail during the month
which preceded the expedition,
turned out to be quite adequate.
They took nothing they didn’t need,
and needed everything they took—
everything, that is, but one item.
Unbeknownst to each other, and
anticipating the agony which usually
accompanies long horseback rides
over rough terrain, both Mr. and
Mrs. Kiefer took :long a small bot-
tle of liniment. Both bottles came
in handy, it developed later. Mrs.
Kiefer’s cowgirl used one, and Mr.
Kiefer gave his to another hardened

A letter was received from Rob-
ert Hall Craig, general manager of
Dallas-Shavertown Water Company,
offering to confer with Councilmen
Peter D. Clark and Joseph MacVeigh
to discuss the installation of water
hydrants for fire protection. Mr.
Craig intimated something might
be done about erecting hydrants
in the central part of the town but
implied that it would be prohibitive
to finance installation in the out-
lying sections.
Council informed Ann M. Butler of
Scranton, supervisor for WPA sew-
ing projects, that it will continue to
pay for rent, light and heat for the
local project and contribute $10 a
months for textiles and findings.
A request was received from the
school board for sidewalks along
Huntsville Street, but Borough En-
gineer John Jeter pointed out that
the county graded a walk along the
road several years ago and most
children neglected to use it. Coun-
cilmen agreed to study the pedestri-

Panama Defense Keystone
He said he considered England’s
pledge never to surrender the fleet
the most significant part of the so-
called ‘‘destroyer deal.” He also
emphasized the importance of the
naval bases received by the U. S.
as a result of those negotiations,
particularly the bases which rim the
Panama Canal. The canal, he de-
clared, ‘Is the keystone of our de-
fense. If they can drop a bomb
on Buckingham Palace they can
drop one on the Panama Canal.”
He discussed legislation which the
Congress has enacted. ‘No one
party can ever take the credit for
whatever we accomplish,” he said.
“In Congress there are no Repub-
licans and no Democrats, in the
usual sense. They're all Americans
first.” g
Congressman Flannery, who voted
for the Selective Service Bill, had a
simple explanation for his convic-
tion. “I would rather have it and
not need it,” he said, “than need
it and not have it.”
The supper-meeting was sponsored
by Mt. Greenwood Kiwanis Club,
which had Dallas Rotary Club mem-
bers as guests. David Joseph, pres-
ident of Kiwanis, presided, and Cal-
vin McHose, Rotary president, spoke
briefly.
A resolution was adopted urging
speedy action toward the improve-
ment of Wyoming Valley Airport.
The resolution:

that he will be on Robert Ripley's

tonight (Friday). McDevitt, a witty,
shrewd and reckless Irishman, won
world-wide publicity some years ago
by indulging a whim to live for one
day as a millionaire.
