We stood it until 9 o'clock, when | we fled and found retreat in a near- by restaurant, where we drowned our loneliness in oyster stew. We made it back, feeling very much the gay dog, broke, but full of stew, just in time to get jammed in the wagon’ for the trip home, during which, to our relief, nearly every-| body fell asleep. yas WE USED to play football, too, in| the fall. It was a sport at which | we were never very good, for we were only slightly heavier than the ball. It was a rather unscientific brand of football. The defense rest- ed upon a very simple system in which you just stood, rock-like, in the path of the man with the ball. Conversely, the offense succeeded or failed according to the power of the ball-carrier to knock down the tensed opponents in his path. We had, also, an auxiliary measure for, the offense, a murderous gesture called “stiff-arm.” by The two systems met their test one day when the star player on the other team—the sp me fellow, in- cidentally, who delighted in using us as a punchimg pag—decided to go through us It was out of the questicsy ‘to’ dodge.

Per- haps autumn effects everyone that way. Maybe it’s the spirit of the old philosopher, nodding over his past. Maybe it’s just second child- hood. At any rate, as we said in the be- ginning, we like autumn. In fact, come to think of it, we probably like autumn next best to talking about ourself, which we like, obvi- ously, most of all. — wy Dads And Mothers Study For PTA Spelling Bee The tables will be turned on par- ents at the October 21 Jaeeting 0 Dallas Borough Parent-Tgachers’ sociation when pupils sit in ience and watch their dads display their spelling ability.

Captain Lee's Battery Cited For Operations Battery B of 109th Field Artillery, commanded by Capt. Larry Lee of Tunkhannock, has received a special citation as a result of its efficiency during the maneuvers this summer. The citation reads: “For its successful operation in adapting new and difficult tactical methods as a component of the Rec- onnaissance Detachment (R-2), 28th Division, in a new type of operations during the First Army Maneuvers in 15th to 22nd, incl., 1940, for its ex- hibition of initiative, energy mobility and its adaptibility under unusual circumstances to co-operate with other units of a provisional organ- ization for which no Tables of Or- ganization hor operating principles exist, for its ability to quickly change its type of action from rec- onnaissance to a Division screen or to seize advanced positions or to assume the defensive on flank pro- tection, in unfamiliar terrain, both in daylight and under cover of darkness; the success of its activ- ities while furnishing information of enemy troops and movements aided the 28th Division to early at- tain objectives well to the front which would not otherwise have been attainable.” Smith Moves His Shop To Improved Location Paul B.
