Dallas District Leadership School
To Open Wednesday, September 16
The seventeenth semi-annual
Leadership. Training School of Dal-
las District will open Wednesday
evening, September 16, in the Dal-
las + Methodist Church at 7:30
o'clock.
The curriculum committee has
spent much time and thought in
plannihg courses that will be of in-
terest and of great value to all
church school workers and leaders.
They feel that they have been ex-
ceedingly fortunate in securing for
the faculty ministers, who have such
a wide field of experience and back-
ground from which to draw.
Rev. Roswell Lyon, pastor of the |
Shavertown and Huntville Metho- |
dist Churches, is to be one of the.
outstanding leaders. He recently
came to this area from the Plains
Methodist Church. At one time he
was director of the Youth Work in
Luzerne County. Last May Rev.
Lyon was elected chairman of the
board of administration of Leader-
ship Training in Dallas District. He
will capably handle the course,
“Recreational Leadership.” It will
be of definite interest to all of those
responsible for the recreational
program of the church.

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello
of the Huntsville Christian Church,
is another of the fine leaders to par-
ticipate in the school. Rev: Mr.
Payne is not new to most of Dal-
las District as he has taught in the
past three schools. Those having
taken one or more courses with him
previously, will be greatly pleased
to learn that he has again kindly
consented to be on the faculty. This
time he will teach “Resources for
Adult Christian’ Education.” All
adult leaders will find this course
of vital interest. -
Rev. Herbert Frankfort, pastor of
the Shavertown Lutheran Church,
will also be an excellent addition
to the teaching staff of this school.
This is the first: time it has been
convenient for Rev. Frankfort to
assist the District in this type of
work, but he. has done such a
splendid work among his own peo-
ple in Shavertown that it is, ex- |
pected that his course, “The Proph-
ets and their Messages,” will be
one of the largest. ¥
Rev. Clayton Hoag, pastor of the
Trucksville Methodist Church, is to
teach “Methods of Education Re-
garding the Alcohol Problem.” Rev.
Mr. Hoag is very competent in
dealing with this course as he has
already taught the same course at
a Junior High School Camp for
Methodist Young People at Dim-
mock, Pa. All interested persons
will profit greatly from his experi-
ence and background.
Rev- Austin Prynn, pastor of the
host church, has been very closely
connected in the past with the West
Pittston Leadership Training School.
Dallas District will benefit immeas-
urably by his experience and
wealth of knowledge. His accept-
ance of the course, “Helping Lead-
ers Improve Their Work,” is most
welcome. Church School teachers
and officers will find a stimulating
and invigorating experience in this
course with Rev. Prynn.

Deer Causing
Crop Damage
| Oats In Fields Are
Ruined By The Herds
Farmers of the Fairmount town-
ship section that includes part of
the Red Rock Mountain are com-
plaining of damage being done by
deer in that section. Both Eugene
Bostian and Hope Larish,. whose
farms are near the foot of the
mountain, report that deer have
eaten the better part of the oats
crop this year, even nosing into the
shocks after the oats had been cut.
Under “state law, a farmer whose
crops are being attacked by deer
has a legal right to shoot depreda-
tory deer, but no such cases have
been reported from the Fairmount
section as yet:
Those who see deer in numbers
report that there are many more
does than bucks in the herds this
season, while a number of spotted
fawns have been seen with the does.

Surfacing Borough Streets
Dallas is one of the few commun-
ities in Luzerne County where road
surfacing oil has been released for
street repairs. As the result four
village streets are being resurfaced.
They are, Center Hill road, Church
street, Spring street and Norton
avenue.

line unburden themselves of their
guilty secret. Sometimes they ask
if they may borrow my daughter
for bait. With her peculiar talents,
Barbara can walk into the lobby of
the Ritz, and a flea will rise to
greet her. This makes the terrain
safe for everybody else.
Sometimes, the voice at the other
end of the line merely wishes to
commiserate, and to admit that she,
too, has suffered on occasion.
Sometimes there is a joyful bab-
ble. Fleas had heretofore been a
subject to be ignored as too indeli-
cate. Conventional shackles rent
asunder, the lady wishes to relieve
her mind. She also wishes to
know, shall she or shall she not
get rid of her dog or her cat? I
struggle mightily with temptation.
The instinct for malicious mischief
urges me to advise her to get rid
of her pet. But social conscience
triumphs, and I warn her on no ac-
count to allow her only safeguard
to leave home.
There have been various occasions
in the past when the situation called
for definite and constructive, or
rather destructive, action. There
was that time when we pinned our
faith to a sulphur candle lighted
hastily at the foot of the cellar
stairs, with ‘an equally hasty re-
treat up the stairs and a slamming
of the door at the top. Maybe the
area was too:large. Maybe the can-
dle was too small. The lighting of |
the candle fortified the spirit for a
period of twenty-four hours, but it
had little or no effect upon the
fleas. If anything, it sharpened |
their appetite.
Carbon Disulphide, a malodorous |
liquid which; smells like an over- |
ripe egg or a socially correct Sul-
phur Spring, was equally unproduc- i
tive of results.
Black Flag powder, applied lo- |
cally to the jfur-bearing animal re- |
sponsible, is| very soothing to the |
pet: It hast the happy result of
making the fleas leave home, ren-
dering them pale and anaemic and
more voracious than ever. As long
as the Black Flag remains in the
fur, the cat. will repel boarders.
This makes it tough on. the humans,
who can’t wear Black Flag without
causing neighborhood conversation.
One-Spati2¢ powder, given time
enough, will do the trick. It ap-
parently eases: its: victims into a
state of euthanasia, imperceptibly |
and painlessly. By the time they
realize that something is amiss,
they are too groggy to manifest con-
cern, and too drugged to do
thing about it. Ss
My friends enter my living-room,
avid with curiosity, and suffering
from politely suppressed qualms.
They look at the couch, that per-
fectly harmless couch that figures
so conspicuously in the column, and
select a chair on the far side of
the room. I loll on the couch my-
self, and they regard me with re-
spect and something akin to awe.
They maneuver into a position
which gives them an. uninterrupted
view of the region beneath the
couch. They are looking for that
classic sheet of fly-paper with the
bit of raw beef in the center, one
New England lady’s unique solution
to her problem.
any-
Or was it a solution? « All I
know is that it was advocated in the
dignified pages of the Boston Trans-
cript as a cure-all. The idea was
that the live-stock, frenzied by the
aroma of raw meat, would leap
heedlessly for the bait and stick
to the fly-paper. The sadistically
inclined could then gloat over the
struggles of the. sticky captives
without endangering their own an-
kles.
The bug-man, waiting philosophi-
cally until all these experiments
have proven to be of no avail,
lurks in the background like an
oversized spider, secure in the
knowledge that all things come to
him who waits. When his services
are called for by a discouraged and
demoralized housewife, he appears
with deadly efficiency, makes a few
expert passes with his little spray-
gun, and retires, jingling in his
pocket a goodly share of the weekly
household allowance:
