Luzerne County
Hens Help Farm
Income Higher
Hens of Luzerne County have con-
tributed materially this year in as-
sisting farm income to the highest
level since 1929, Estimates indicate
that the farm gross income in 1941
will exceed eleven billion dollars for
the first time in 12 years, two bil-
lion higher than in 1940.
Heavy production coupled with a
favorable market means that in-
come from eggs should exceed $600,-
000,000, The nation’s hens are ex-
pected to produce forty billion eggs
this year, on the basis of produc-
tion figures assembled at the Chi-
cago Mercantile ‘Exchange.

tion activities were prime reasons
for the higher price. Chain stores,
which last year purchased more
than a third of the eggs produced in
Pennsylvania, report consumer de-
maind holding rather well, aided by
higher national income and mass
distribution methods which reduce
the spread between producer and
consumer prices.
The favorable price situation is
illustrated by the fact that, as an
average this season, only 5.84 doz-
en eggs have been required to buy
100 pounds of poultry ration, com-
pared with 7.51 dozen last year.
The equivalent of more than
200,000,000 dozen eggs in shell, froz-
en or powdered form has been pur-
chased since the lend-lease bill
passed.
Quality campaigns, resulting in a
better grade of eggs in Pennsyl-
vania, have brought about increased
purchasing by the mass distributors.
One chain, bought 6,173,000 dozen
Pennsylvania eggs in 1940.
Production in Pennsylvania is ex-
pected to exceed 177,310,000 in
1941, with Luzerne County contrib-
uting more than 1,650,000 of this
total.

Mrs, J. Montross of Tunkhannock,
R. D., who at the age of 82 has re-
covered from a fractured hip was
moved from the Wilkes-Barre Gen-
eral Hospital to her brother's home
in Wyoming, on Wednesday, Janu-
ary Tth.
Mrs. Montross fell and broke her
hip the first of October. She was in
the hospital for 12 weeks and to
anyone going in to see her, she was
an inspiration of courage and hope.
A cheerful smile would light up her
face and she would acclaim the hos-
pital the finest place ever for one
in her condition. .
Mrs. Montross’ husband who died
five years ago, owned many acres of
rich timber land between Evans
Falls and Tunkhannock, Mrs. Mont-
ross has lived in that section since
her youth and is beloved by all who
know her.
C. J. Montross, her only child is
a successful farmer in the same

Boy Escapes Drowning
Albert Ruff Jr., six-year-old son
of Albert Ruff, Fairlawn storekeeper

broke through with him,
Albert was on his way to school
in the morning when an older boy
induced him to try the dangerous
went well until he struck a swift
place in the creek which seldom
freezes over. The intense cold of
the preceding three nights had froz-
en it but not sufficiently to hold his
weight and ‘‘crack’” went the ice so
quickly that he was in before he
had a chance to catch himself. His
cries brought immediate help and he
was rescued with nothing worse
than a bad scarce and a soaking.
Army Planes Sighted
The back mountain countryside
was startled on Monday afternoon
when the air was riddled with the
pounding of the engines of seven
army planes.
The planes were flying so low,
some of ‘the spectators wondered
whether they were U. S. planes or
enemy planes that were bent on
destruction. As they passed out of
sight with no disastrous results they
that they still enjoy security with
Uncle Sam keeping watch over
them,
Postmaster Resigning
Lewis Hackling who has been
postmaster in Noxen for the past
eight years has resigned to take the

Mr. Hackling has relinquished his
school bus route along with the
postmastership and is still bettered
financially.

lic commendably and his genial per-
{sonality will be greatly missed at

his new duties Thursday, January
15th.

postmaster until a future appoint-
ment is made.
