Wild Geese Visit
Harvey's Lake
Just when things got pretty slow
in the news-gathering offices of The
Post this. week, the annual Wild
Geese story broke at Harvey's Lake,
According to Chief Ira C. Steven-
son of the Lake police, a flock of
50 honkers settled on the waters
out there Monday night before con-
tinuing their trek to the North.
High winds and zero visibility forc-
ed 'em down, figures the Chief. They
took off again Tuesday morning,
and were duly reported to Mitchel
Field by the Air Observers at Ver-
non. Pe
And speaking of Wild Geese,
Ralph Hazeltine claims he saw a
large flock flying south instead of
North a few days ago. They were
past before he could redirect them,
however.

THE POST, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1942
Herbert
Aged Trucksville
Womanis Buried
Mrs. Elizabeth Erb Is
Great Loss ToRe
ute”
ice and benevolence, funeral serv-
ices for 92-year-old Mrs. Elizabeth
Erb were held Wednesday morning !
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Eugene Piatt of Carverton road,
Trucksville. Rev. Harry M. Savacool,
pastor of Trucksville Methodist
Church, officiated. After the cere-
monies here, the body of Mrs. Erb
was borne to Boyertown, Pa., and
laid to rest beside the grave of her
husband in Fairview cemetery.
The kindly old soul, one of the
best-known residents of this region
and hale and hearty almost to her
last day, passed away quietly at the
home of Mrs. Piatt Sunday morn-
ing. Her death followed a brief ill-
ness.
Mrs. Erb had lived with her
daughter in Trucksville for the past
30 years and was active in Red
Cross work and the affairs of
Trucksville Methodist Church. Her
friendly disposition and willingness
to work for the welfare of her com- |
munity had gained her a wide circle
of friends, and her death is a be-
reavement not only to her family
and intimates but to this section as
well.
She was born in Pottstown on
January 11, 1850, daughter of the
late Sarah and Jacob Cristman. She
was married at Boyertown to the
late Simon F. Erb, who passed away
62 years ago, and lived in Berks
County until she moved to- this sec-
tion in 1912.
But, although her early years
were spent in Southern Pennsyl-
vania, Mrs. Erb had become as much
a part of the Back Mountain Reg
ion as any of its natives and con-
sidered this section as her real
home.
Her one son, Cleo, died six years
ago at his home in Woodbury
Heights, N. J.
In addition to her daughter, Mrs.
Piatt, she is survived by the follow-
ing grandchildren: Mrs. Rebecca
Grey of Trucksville, Miss Ellen Piatt,
a nurse at Camp Forrest, Tenn., Jos-
eph and Daniel Piatt, both of Wash-
ington, D. C., and Private Cleo
Piatt, stationed at Camp Meade.
These great grandchildren also sur-
vive: Jean, Daniel and Glen Piatt,
Joseph Piatt, Jr., and Maud Grey.

Defense Sales Off,
Claims Postmaster
Though hundreds of patriotic dol-
lars were paid in through the De-
fense window at Dallas Post Office
during the Christmas holidays and
January, sales of Defense Stamps
and Bonds have begun to fall off
markedly, Postmaster Joseph Pol-
ackey announced this week.
While an area the size of Dallas
should average at least -800 in De-
fense Savings a month, said Mr.
Polackey, sales here have been
much lower and during February
not more than $300 worth of De-
fense Stamps were purchased.
Defense Stamps are priced at ten
cents to a dollar, placing them with-
in easy reach of both adults and
children. If local folks bought a
half a dollar's worth of stamps
apiece each month, more than $700
would go for defense from residents
of the borough alone.
| Early Birds
Contractor Frank Jackson of Lake
township, well-known bird fancier,
reports this week that he saw a
Blue Bird, a Song Sparrow and two
Robins paddling about in the snow
out at the lake. So Spring must be

of the weather man.

Byron Luce Is
Army Major
Will Act As Instructor
In Auto Transportation
Byron Luce, until the recent Fed-
eral ban on new automobiles, sales-
manager for James R. Oliver, has
enlisted in the Motor Transport
Corps of the United States Engin-
eers and expects to leave shortly for
Camp Holibird, Maryland.
He received a five-hour physical
examination last week at Walter
Reed Hospital, Baltimore, and pass-
ed with flying colors, an accom-
plishment as pleasing to Mr. Luce,
who is forty-five, as the fact that
he will be commissioned as a major.
Upon induction he will become an
instructor in automotive mainten-
ance in the Auto Transport School.
Before obtaining a leave from the
Hudson Motor Company to come
with Mr. Oliver in May, 1941, Mr.
Luce had worked for ten years in
northeastern Pennsylvania territory
out of the Philadelphia zone office
of the company. His past experi-
ence ably fits him for his new as-
signment.
Since coming to Dallas he and
Mrs. Luce have made their home on
Pioneer avenue. They will move
this week to their old home in Dal-
ton where Mrs. Luce will remain
while the major is on duty.
