Ruxiliary Police Being Organized Men Will Rid During Defense Emergencies Chief Ira Stevenson of Harvey's Lake Police Force, Francis McCarthy of Kingston Township and represen- tatives of other Back Mountain law . enforcement agencies were among those who attended the police chiefs’ meeting in Wilkes-Barre Tuesday when Chief Russell Taylor of Wilkes-Barre, head of District 2, outlined plans for an auxiliary po- ~ lice organization to serve voluntar- ily in Civilian Defense in Luzerne County. Volunteers are likely to be called upon for service when regular uni- formed men are detailed to take care of emergency situations in oth- ‘er communities or areas than their own. The volunteers will receive their CA Bie commissions, badges and cards from the State as soon as they have been approved by local police chiefs. Those who wish to apply for the positions may do so by getting in touch with the police chiefs in their community. Hundreds Skate AtHarvey's Lake Completely Frozen; Lake Is Free Of Snow With the exception of a 15 by 20 ‘oot open spot in front of Lakeside Inn at Warden Place, Harvey's Lake is completely frozen over daily pro- viding the best skating in years for undreds of winter sports enthusi- ‘asts from Wyoming Valley and sur- rounding areas. Except for a few places where the ice froze before the recent heavy snowfall, the surface is completely free from snow, most of the ice having formed during the zero tem- peratures of the past week. On Sunday Chief Ira Stevenson of the Harvey's Lake Police force estimated 400 skaters took advan- tage of the fine skating in spite of the severe cold. Traffic on the Lu- zerne-Harvey’s Lake highway was the heaviest of the winter season with outdoor sportsmen. Between 150 and 200 skaters have been at the lake each night this week. Best skating appears to be at the Alder- son and bridge ends. Injures Nose When Harley Mission Jr., of Shavertown attempted to leave a ‘room in which he had just put out ‘the light, his face came in contact with a door casing. Now he is fol- lowing a crooked nose. GAY-MURRAY — NEWS — 1942 is following the trend of 1941. Folks everywhere are improving their homes with modern conveniences. Alpha Dymond at Kunkle Re a bathroom, Minnie Jayne at Meshoppen, a de- luxe sink, Fred Scott at Montrose got a Goulds Pump. At Orland Green’s Mont- rose home, our workmen: made a complete change from the old to the new, by installing steam heat, best bathroom, automatic pump, linoleum, a sink, and Moore's paint for the kitch- en. Equipment to make farm work easier is off to a good start too. Harry Eveland bought a saw frame, Oley Pratt at Nicholson took a wagon, Harry McKune at Falls is using a new Papec Hammermill. You can’t afford to let either your car or your horse slip on icy roads. We have the chains and links for the car and just everything for old “Dobbin”. Drive calks at 75 cents, team harness at $35. One carload of Oliver equip- ment has at last arrived and customers are already buy- ing for spring. "Harold Dix took a lime sower, John Hinkley a sulky plow, while harrow’s were bought by Stanley Ball and Jeannette Thomas. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush — order early, and you'll be sure it’s YOUR hand. Gay-Murray Co. Inc. Tunkhannock, Pa.
