Bright Future For Farming In
Dallas Indicated By FFA Work
That the young fellows of this re- ( potatoes cultivated by Walter Koz- |
gion are already just about as good
farmers - as their dads was pretty
well proved last week when six
agricultural projects of local boys !
were inspected by a committee of
agricultural students and professors.
The annual project tour of the
Future Farmers of America, made
up of students from Dallas and Leh-
man township high schools, was
held last Thursday under the direc-
tion of Gerald M. Snyder, supervisor
of agriculture at Dallas township,
and John Sidler, farm instructor at
Lehman.
Projects visited included those of
Fred Shobert, Harold Wagner and
Carl Aston at Lehman, and in Dal-
las township an acre of truck gard-
ening, four pigs and 100 chickens
emchak and 100 chickens caponized
by James Brace.
After the tour two softball games
were played between boys of the
two schools on the Dallas township
diamond. 3
Members of the Dallas township
or Anthracite Chapter of Future
Farmers participating in the tour
were Raymond E. Kuhnert, super- |
vising principal of Dallas township,
Gerald Snyder, agriculture superin-
tendent; Robert Patrick, Warren
Stanton, Arthur Morgan, William
Colvin, Robert Lauderbaugh, Nich-
olas Stredny, Ralph Snyder, Harold |
Dymond, Karl Kunkle, Charles
Mitchell, Russell Race, Elmer Phil-
lips, Dale Warmouth, William Shea,
Harold Elston, James Brace and
Walter Kozemchak.
Although our Federal Congress a
fortnight ago extended the duration
of service for conscriptees, this fall
will see thousands upon thousands
released to resume their former
place in our domestic society. Un-
der the provisions of the recent
amendments to the Federal Selec-
tive Service Act, certain classes of
soldiers, upon application, will be
permitted to bid adieu to the khaki
and barracks life if their individual
services can be spared by Uncle
Sam without rendering a burden-
ing hardship upon their particular
outfit.
The same dislocation that attend-
ed the induction of these soldiers
into our army will be present when
they are mustered out of uniform.
They will be immediately thrown
upon the labor market. In some lo-
calities this will not be a serious
problem, in others which possess an
unemployment ‘margin, their oppor-
tunities of obtaining ready employ-
ment will be almost nil. In view
of the reasons that predicated their
release, mainly marriage and de-
pendency, these civilians are faced
with shady days.
True, it is part of our statute law
that any person who was incorpor-
ated in the national army, will be
restored to his position that he held
at the time of his induction. But,
in so many cases this situation can
not be carried out. Business fail-
ures, the change in character of
business, all have a controlling hold
on this provision of our national
law.
The national headquarters of the
Selective Service System recently
announced that machinery has been
set up to re-establish these soldiers
that will be mustered out in the
near future. It has instructed each
and every local board as to the
method adopted by the system. It
directed local boards to appoint re-
employment committeemen to carry
out these instructions.
During the week General Hershey,
director of the Selective Service
System, addressed a letter to every
soldier, entitled, “Each soldier about
to return to civil life,” advising
them of the progress of reemploy-
ment arranged by the system and
the necessary steps that such sol-
diers should undertake immediate-
ly upon their release.
Part of this letter points out that
“There is a reemployment commit-
teeman connected with each local
board. When you return to your
home, you should at once get in
touch with him. He will advise and
assist you in matter of your em-
ployment and utilize in your behalf
the service of your State Employ-
ment Agency.”
It is this committeeman who will
contact your former employer and
obtain your previous position, ex-
plained General Hershey. If you
cannot be returned to your former
post or you were unemployed at
the time of your induction, then
it is this committeeman who in con-
junction with the State Employ-
ment Service, will endeavor to ob-
tain a new job on the basis of your
registered work record.
Under this reemployment pro-
gram, the Pennsylvania State Em-
ployment Service is extending itself
in true patriotic fashion to assist
those individuals that were so
swiftly removed. from employment.
Its state and national clearance ser-
vices in the skilled fields will no
doubt quickly insert any released
soldier into a good position if he
possesses even the minimum quali-
fications. Unskilled men, too, are
in demand, not only in our Keystone
state but throughout the nation.
The Pennsylvania State Employ-
ment Service knows just .where
these jobs exist. It will save these
new civilians many valuable hours
and much money if they would only
consult with the trained staffs of
their local employment offices.
The recent announcement that
wedding bells will chime over the
heads of the Chief Executive of our
state and the attractive Mrs. Emily
Radcliffe Case started the usual
string of social conjections. From
reports, the ceremony is expected
to come off in Doylestown, the coun-
ty seat of Joe Grundy’s estate of
Bucks. Who will be those selected
few to be the minor participants in
his excellency’s marriage have al-
ready been given to the winds of
speculation.
Here are some of the jestful ob-
servations. Will the governor res-
urrect the gifted president-making
Colonel Estes to stand up for him?
The Texas boy and all those south-
ern delegates stood up the governor
at the Philadelphia convention in
forty.
Will it be Joe Pew? We must re-
member that it was this social oil:
baron’s money bags that proped the
governor in his successful campaign
in the year thirty-eight.
We can count Steve Stahlnecker,
Pudler Jim Davis, Jim Torrance and
Bill Hamilton out. They are defi-
nitely not the social type. But then
again the Plymouth breaker boy
never made pretensions at high
brow life himself. It is said that the
only time that he entertains in the
worm-eaten executive mansion is
when the Supreme Court and the
Legislature keep traditional dining
dates with him.
If Mrs. Margery Scranton were a
man, I am sure that she would be
found on Arthur's right during the
ceremony. Maybe she and her
South American. orchids will be
drafted to hold Mrs. Case up.
The smart boys remark that one
of the most propelling factors that
the good governor employed while
in quest of the Cornell-trained hand
of Mrs, Case was his magic ability
in balancing budgets. This favorable
point should not be overlooked in
the face of rising food prices and
bigger furniture installments. Any-
way the coming matron of Doyles-
town must have figured it import-
ant.

Fighting Sons Of A Gun
‘The Nazis have occupied the homeland of this famous gun, but they have not captured the brains that
made it. Vaclav Holek, who invented the gun, and a number of Czech specialists, escaping from the “Pro-
tectorate,” continue to supervise its manufacture in England and have effected almost 100 per cent improve-
ment in the rate of fire of the original model, partly through metallurgical researches to reduce heating of
The name Bren takes its first two letters from Brno in Czechoslovakia, where the gun was first
made, and its last two from Enfield in England, where it was put into production for the British Govern-
ment after prolonged tests had revealed it as the most efficient light machine-gun in the world. Re-equip-
ment of the British Army with the Bren began in 1937 and it has since proved its quality on many fighting
fronts. With bipod it weighs only 22 pounds; with tripod, for sustained or fixed line fire, 50 pounds. Each
gun has a spare barrel and the barrel is changed when the gun over-heats.
The mechanism is very simple and few stoppages are likely to occur.
iably can be cleared by simple and immediate action.

Elderly Native Of
Forkston Is Buried
Crippled, likeable old Alvin E.
Root, who had lived for a half cen-
tury or more in a little cabin near
Root Hollow, deep in the wooded
territory of Forkston township,
reached the end of his long and
lonely life Saturday morning when
he passed quietly away at the home
of his niece, Mrs. Norman Briggs,
of Noxen.
Funeral services were held Wed-
nesday afternoon at 2 at Noxen
Methodist Church, with Rev. David
Morgan, pastor, officiating. Inter-

Bloomsburg Fair
Invests $35,000
In New Buildings
New Judging Arena
Will Provide More
Comfort For Crowds
Agriculture is to get more prom-
inence at the Bloomsburg Fair
which opens Monday, September 22,
to continue day and night through
that week, than at any other ex-
hibition in the eighty-seven years
of the fair’s history.
An agriculture building, 60x144
and brick and steel in construction,
and an 80x140 cattle judging arena
are now under construction on
Pennsylvania's largest fair grounds
where more than $35,000 in per-
manent improvements are being
made.
The objective of the directors is
to make this year’s fair, both as
to educational and entertainment
features, finer than the 1940 exhibit
which saw a new paid attendance
record of 95,080 established.’
The agriculture building, admir-
ably appointed, will feature all the
adult exhibits in that field and will
have as well competition among the
Granges of the area. In the Grange
exhibits there are $400 in awards
and all premiums in agriculture ex-
hibits have been increased from
twenty-five per cent up. The new
building is along the promenade and
near the main exhibition building.
Bloomsburg has long featured one
of the finest cattle shows in the
East. Previously judging was done
in a tent and there was difficulty
providing adequate accommodations
for spectators.
This will be eliminated with the
new judging arena, open on all
sides but with adequate bleachers
under the large steel frame struc-
ture. When judging events are not
in progress there various entertain-
ment features will be provided for
the enjoyment of fair visitors.
