She had complained of not feeling well for several months but was not bedrid- den until three weeks ago. A farmer's daughter and a farm- er's wife, she was born to Joseph and Elizabeth Hess Lord of Orange on September 17, 81 years ago. She attended Franklin Township schools. Almost sixty-five years ago she mar- ried Mr. Avery. They had three children, Dory, Sam and Myrtle. “Grandma’”’ Avery lost two of her family in 1911, her husband and her only daughter. into the little home on Claude St., and there she lived with her son | Dory, until her death. An example for every modern girl to copy, “Grandma” Avery was full of vim and vitality right up to her last days. She baked, took care of the house, did her washing, iron- ing and mending, and, in her spare time, read the papers or worked on one of her quilts. A great lover of flowers, she took much pains in raising her potted plants, especially | one petunia given to her two years ago by Ray Shiber, which is fully ja foot and a half high and covered with delicate pink blossoms. Surviving besides her two sons, Dory at home and Samuel of Lu- zerne, are one grandchild; five great grandchildren; four brothers, Jake of New York; Sam of Dallas; Chris- topher of Williamsport; and Zura of Hudson; a sister, Mrs. Frank Sorber of Kingston, and several nieces and reghews. : Funeral services were held yes- terday from the Brickel Funeral Home, in charge of Rev. Austin L. Prynn of the Dallas Methodist Church. Burial was in the Warden Cemetery. Plan To Erect New Honor Roll It's The Spirit, Not Location That Counts roll that counts and not its elabor- ateness or location.” This was the opinion expressed Wednesday night at a meeting of committees of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of Trucksville Fire Department who have worked long and hard to raise the money to erect a suitable honor roll in front of the fire house in Trucksville. Plans for the honor roll originated last November and in December members voted 38 to 10 to erect (it near the building which they are endeavoring to transform into a community center. They have raised the money to pay for the honor roll and they have raised almost enough money to remodel the building at the close of the war so that it can be a fitting memorial to the men and women who have served in the conflict. Recently there has been some op- position to the location selected but the Auxiliary feels that the com- munity will appreciate its position. The fire hall is the community cen- ter. There, everybody election day and there, too, the honor roll will belong to the com- ‘munity. Sincere friends of all concerned believe that the honor roll should be erected as originally planned and that all will unite behind the plan to make it as beautiful and effective a tribute as possible.

Township Tests Four New Sirens Newman Named As Sector Warden Highly successful tests of four air raid sirens temporarily installed in Dallas Township were made Wed- nesday noon by Paul Shaver and members of the Dallas Township Council of Defense. The wail of the sirens was clearly heard in all parts of the township by observers who telephoned their reports to John Yaple, chairman. The sirens have been installed at Dallas Township High School; at Fernbrook on property owned by Marty Walsh; at Honeybrook Farm on the DeMunds Road and at Shady Side Dairy in the Kunkle Section. | Each of the Federal sirens cost $45.- 150. Three were purchased by the supervisors and one by the school board. ? At a meeting of the Township Council of Defense on Sunday, Ar- thur Newman was appointed to re- place Earl Layaou who recently re- signed. Three other new members were: Harold Flack, Fred Hughey, and Arthur Kiefer. Mr. Kiefer will have charge of the organization of messenger service in the township. Will Lead Band Youngsters Happy Over His Decision Jubilant because their old direc- tor, Howard Hallock, has consented to lead them for the remainder of the year, every member Dallas High School Band &% d out for rehearsal Tuesday night wreathed in smiles as they greeted the man who organized their Band. Mr. Hallock will continue to hold re- hearsals every Tuesday night and may later add another night a week to the schedule. Previously he had told members of the Band Parents’ ‘Association that he would be unable to take over the direction of the band be- cause of heavy demands upon his time as director of Kingston High School Band and because his health was none too good. Later, however, Mr. Hallock reconsidered and told members of the Association that it was better for his peace of mind and health, too, to direct the band than to “sit at home and worry about it.” Mr. Hallock has a genuine affec- tion for the local organization which is reflected in his willingness to do everything possible to hold the band together and to prepare it for a con- cert sometime this spring. That the same genuine affection is held for Mr. Hallock by the youngsters who first learned music under his teach- ing goes without saying.
