line rail and was caught by a wave
that washed him overboard. Testi-
mony of his comrades and captain
or destroyers might attack.
So, after only brief search, the
fate of Andrew Lesko was left: to
the rolling waters. His body never
was recovered. But, after two
years, it is conceded that he must
be dead. So by testimony of his
mates, Register Shivell permitted
his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Lesko, Sr., to claim his
estate, mostly in cash found in his
sailor’s locker.
One woman, one of three of her
sex numbered among twelve jurors
in a case that began criminal court
in the October sessions, made so
succinct a summation of an issue
this week that it was creditable to
her wit that the deadlocked panel
escaped in time to satisfy a hunger
for food that replaced craving for
justice. The young woman was
Sophia Lemanski of Nanticoke, pop-
ularly known as a State Committee-
woman of the New Deal.
Pennsylvania Liquor Control
Board brings many justifiable cases.
Some of its best cases fail because
of a peculiar constitution of the
court of Luzerne County, best ex-
plained by Senator Leo C. Mundy
in a dramatic speech before an oth-
erwise drab legislature. Once in a
while the liquor board brings a bad
base.
It was the defective kind of issue
that was before the nine men and
three women of whom Sophia Les-
manski was one. A man skilled in
the illegalities of the rum traffic
had carried on a good business, but
it finally was interrupted by his
death.
Only after the violator's death
was the home raided. When the
to nineteen persons illegally reg-
istered.
This is what happened: Appoint-
cent Republicans. To keep their
party in a good light, those inves-
tigators purged only the Democrats:
they found illegally registered. They
knowingly and intentionally con-
tinued on the voter rolls hundreds
of Republicans they knew to be no
longer residents of Luzerne County.
The result was that instead of ac-
tually losing count from the defeat
of last year the Republicans gained.
Their majority rose almost eleven
thousand over what it was a year
ago.
If the voters bureau figures were
worth having at all they would
show almost an even break of party
strength among the county’s voters,
with not more than 190,000 quali-
fied to cast ballots. The explana-
tion of more Republicans actually
voting, than Democrats, is in the
fact that only on the G. O. P. bal-
lot was there a real contest, the
one between Judge Hourigan and
ex-District Attorney Lewis.
Democrats have not expected
more than 28 per cent of ‘their party
strength to express itself. No right
count of voters and no correct regis-
tration tabulations will ever be
made until the law requires that
the people shall be served by a
board of clerks and investigators
made up equally from the rival par-
ties, instead of all from one party
as at present is the case.
Your reporter was one of five
persons who this week were guests
of Governor Arthur H. James. Noth-
ing of politics was at stake; nor
were there any affairs of state to
be discussed. Your Governor had
gone back to his original status as
proud warrior from the town whose
was directing efforts by which Ply-
mouth probably will become the
most important part of the Penn-
sylvania map between September
28 and October 2.
To fulfill the Governor's desires
there are many contributors of ef-
fort, noteworthy among them the
Right Reverend Bishop of Scranton
Diocese; and the eminent and very
honorable Postmaster-General Frank
C. Walker oft New York City and
Washington, D. C. Governor James
was entertaining the public rela-
tions committee of the Plymouth
Diamond Anniversary. The com-
mittee included Attorney Harry L.
Freeman, Dr. Elmer T. Williams,
Commerce Chamber President Harry
G. Davis, and yours truly.
Here are the results: On Sunday,
September 28, all churches of the
Roman Catholic faith will end ser-
vices at 10 a. m. in Plymouth, Han-
over, Larksville and Plymouth
Township. At 11 o'clock, under di-
rection of Bishop Hafey, the com-
bined congregations. will have a
pontifical high mass in Huber Field
at Plymouth. Through the after-
noon there will gather in the same
place the congregations of Protest-
ant’ and Jewish faiths.
The same day at noon, Bishop
and Governor will join a notable
company as guests of the Reverend
Father Francis J. Powell at a noon
dinner in St. Stephen’s Hall, ad-
joining Huber Field. Then, on Mon-
day, Governor and fellow-townsmen
will start a four-day celebration to
be known as “America On Parade,”
a spectacle with almost seven hun-
dred costumed players,
Allentown Has
Greatest Fair
The great Allentown Fair which
‘has become known throughout the
breadth of the land as “America’s
Greatest Country Fair” will be held
this year on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
September 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. One
reason why the Allentown Fair has
attained its promenence and is at-
tended by people from practically
every state in the union is because
each year it is different and better
than the year before. For 1941 the
management of the Great Allen-
town Fair has spared no trouble
or expense to make it truly one of
America’s premier and outstanding
events of its kind.
Unique among organizations
which operate fairs is the Lehigh
County Agriculture Society, spon-
sors of the Great Allentown Fair.
It is a non-profit organization which
has almost one thousand sharehold-
ers. There is no such thing as con-
trol of this organization for each
seven years ago it was formed by
a group of civic-minded business
men and farmers, and each year the
profits go back into the treasury
for the improvement of the site
where the fair is held. Again this
year considerable money was spent
in needed improvements and those
who visit the Great Allentown Fair
will find much worth while seeing.
Day and night fair will again be
the rule this year at the fair, There
will be an outstanding program of
harness and running races in front
of the grandstand on Tuesday, Wed-
nesday, Thursday and Friday after-
noons.
