Hicks, JR. outstretched There was a dignified Physics’ professor at Johns Hopkins who used to amuse himself at football games by giving an exhibition of boomerang throwing. With deadly aim and a malevolent gleam in his eye he launched a boomerang to- ward a crowded bleacher, and the spectators, seeing a lethal weapon coming their way, shrieked and ducked. Just before the boomerang seemed ready to decapitate a whole row of victims, it turned and sailed harmlessly back to tthe hand that “threw it. This was great sport for Dr. Wood, but it did mot endear him to the spectators. There was always that nagging uncertainty about the habits of boomerangs. It seemed possible, even probable, that some day the boomerang might fail to follow the laws of physics and clunk somebody in the head instead of returning obediently to home base. Dr. Wood always man- aged to catch the homing pigeon, but he occasionally had to display some very fancy footwork in order to make connections. “Well, I've caught me a boomer- ang. In the teeth.

Veterans’ Ad- ministration for the opening of a Veterans’ Agricultural Training School in Dallas Township this fall. The school will be the only one of its kind in this area and will pre- sent courses in general agriculture for former servicemen and women who are either working on farms or own their own farms and are working them. Between seventeen and twenty veterans have already applied for admission. The school is a part of the “on- the-job” training program provid- ed under the G. I. Bill of Rights. Veterans who plan to enter the school must make application through the Veterans’ Administra- tion and must take at least four hours of classroom work while gain- ing practical experience on the farm. A school instructor will also spend at least two hours each week with the veteran at the latter's place of employment. Plans for opening such a school have been under discussion since last December but it was not until the May meeting of the Township Board that all angles were ironed out to the satisfaction of the State Department of Education, Veterans’ Administration and ‘School Board. The nearest similar school will probably be established at Hunt- ingdon Mills. Dallas Township has an ideal location for a Veterans’ School in the old Goss building which is equipped with electric and acetylene welding equipment, drill dresses, forges and other machine shop tools which were installed there by the N. Y. A. and later used by the Out-of-School-Youth Administration in its training pro- gram. Although mo instructor has yet been hired, it is understood that two applicants are under consider- ation. Dallas Township School Dis- trict will be reimbursed on a tuit- tion basis by the Veterans’ Admin- istration.

They are William Patteson, a second year student at Bucknell Junior College, and a former resi- dent of this area and Stewart Rose, who, though born in Kentucky and reared in Texas, is rapidly becom- ing one of the Back Mountain com- Fo munity’s greatest boosters. In the Off To The Races Fe a « Among the thousands who at- tended the automobile races at In- dianapolis on Memorial Day, two local boys made sure that they would have perfect seats as well as sleeping accommodations to and from the race. They are Willard Crispell of Hayfield Farm and Les- ter Hoover, who is learning the drilling business with Sprague and Henwood. Their companion, Alva Ide of Reading, rigged the rack a- cross the top of his Hudson car and equipped it with two double spring mattresses. The boys left Reading Saturday morning and reached Indianapolis Sunday morning. On Tuesday they got in line for the races along with hundreds of other cars. Nights they slept under the canvass. When they reached the main gate, on Thursday they were afraid for a moment that they would be turned back but an attendant direc- ted them to another tunnel where they drove through. Once inside bowls the top of the | car provided a fine grandstand seat. ; Although the canopy appears top heavy in the pictures above, the boys explained that they had no difficulty driving. They left In- dianapolis Friday and were home on Saturday. Alva stands beside the car in the upper picture. Willard and Lester are shown in the lower view. Animal Show Is Here For Night Animals Are Pastured On Devens Property Dallas boys and girls as well as their dads and mothers enjoyed an unexpected treat when Al Kurtz Animal Oddities: Show put up Mon- day night on the Devens property on Lake street. The show was enroute from Chambersburg to Binghamton, N.Y. When the first of the calalcade of four large trailer trucks, reached Dallas, one of the drivers stopped at Devens’ Mill to ask if there might be a piece of ground in the vicinity where the show could tether its animals for the night. Impressed by the cleanliness of the man, Mr. Devens invited the show to use his property, so the trucks proceeded up Lake street and showmen began’ to unload quickly and quietly the animals that were in the trailers. There were twenty-one of them and a van load of monkeys and baboons that could be not unloaded (Continued on Page Five) Buddies Who Married Puerto Rican Sisters Start Farming At Lehman Air Corps for more than five years, he was discharged last July.

Centermoreland Barn Destroyed Lightning Strikes At Height Of Storm Struck by lightning during the height of the severe storm Tuesday evening, a large dairy and machin- ery barn on the farm of Mrs. Grace Dornblazer of Centermoreland was completely destroyed by fire. Loss is estimated at $8,000 and is partly covered by insurance. Most of the farm machinery, two pigs, two calves and a quantity of feed and wool were also destroyed with ‘the building, but-a ‘team: of horses, thirty cows and some small machinery were saved. Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire Company received the alarm at 6:10 P.M. ‘| while the raging wind and storm almost drowned out the wailing fire In spite of a downpour that drenched firemen before they five men Fred Templin, Richard LeGrand, Paul Clemow and Dean Ide—and made a record run to (Centermore- land. Les Warhola, Tom Kingston and Dan Richards with other fire- fighters followed in cars. Because the lightning had ignited fires throughout the structure, there | was little the firemen could do ex- cept protect meighboring buildings. The Dornblazer farm is operated by Mrs. Dornblazer and her three sons, Albert, Miller and Howard. After the fire, livestock was housed in a large barn on another farm owned by ‘Albert Dornblazer in Centermoreland. Bread Shortage In his fourteen years covering this territory for Kutz Baking Com- pany, Bernie Williamson says he hasinever seefi the bread shortage as bad-a§ it is now. We have re- ceived mo flour since the restric- tions went into effect, and unless some is received before the end of the month the bakery may have to close down.” Although everybody who saw them wanted to help them out of their dilemma or at least to allay their fears, tragedy nonetheless stalked the trail of three. timid young deer that wandered into Dal- las early last Thursday morning. For more than three hours the Post's telephone line was busy with accounts from neighbors in ithe vicinity of Machel] Avenue, Lehman "and Rice street where the startled fawn had been seen .in gardens or leaping over fences. No one had seen them for long. No one was sure how large they were. Some said, ‘the size of large calves.” David Kunkle reported that he had seen the three on his lawn about 7 a.m. Other residents of Lehman avenue saw two. Margaret Czulegar reported that she saw two in the vicinity of Rice street and Mrs. H. A. Smith said that she had seen three deer come out of the ghter, Jean survive. woods back of her home and«go on Kiwanis Club, Falling Trees At Hillside Crush Big Greenhouse ~Storm Saturday Night Topples Trees” Along Trucksville Road. Seven mature trees along the high bank on Church Road, Trucks- ville, were uprooted by heavy winds during the hail storm on Saturday night and toppled over crushing the long greenhouse at Hillside Farm and causing damage conservatively estimated at $3,000. Most of the trees were oaks and maples—one of them with a trunk thirty inches in diameter. Other trees on the property, among them several pines, were also uprooted but did not strike the greenhouses. As the big trees fell their upper branches and trunks lashed at the greenhouses crushing them like egg shells. Although the noise of shattering glass and splintering framework must have been audible above the storm, both Howard Ide, manager of the greenhouses and Charles Hemenway, farm manager, were away at the time and the damage was not discovered until Sunday morning. In addition to the buildings, there was considerable damage to young plants and to some old stock that was housed in the building. Several thousand cyclamen plants started for the Christmas season were sal- vaged from the benches. Loss is partially covered by in- surance. - Mrs, W. H. Conyngham, owner was in New York and her son, John N., who is especially in- terested in floriculture, was at Yale where he is a student, when the damage occurred. The damaged greenhouse was re- built in 1916 at a cost of $7,000 by King Construction Company. The other large greenhouse which was undamaged was built in 1913 at a cost of $15,000 by Lord and Bugn- ham, the country’s leading green- house designers and builders.

She was sure one was hurt as it crossed the street. No one seemed to know how the deer got out of town. The Post published an account of the visit, then late in the afternoon on Friday, Mrs. Jack Graves who lives in the former John Frantz home on Norton Avenue, called the Post. She had found the third deer —dead at the back of her lot where it had run against a fence and broken its neck. T. A. Reynolds of Shavertown, State Game Protector was called to examine the animal. He estimated that it had been dead since early Thursday morning shortly after Mrs. Smith had seen the deer cross the highway. It was a buck in vel- vet weighing about 100 pounds. Be- cause it had been dead more than 24-hours the carcass could mot be used and Mr. Reynolds had the body cremated.
