“TheTotemPole” (Continued from Page Two) == = iron reservoir to fill up again, after it had been drained by the coal shutdown. : “The damage already has been done, even if ‘the miners return tomorrow,” said C. E. Wilson, head of General Motors, a few days ago in explaining the GM shutdown. “The man hours lost to us cannot be regained. As a Nation we can no longer afford the extravagance of monopoly. strikes.” Missing a week’s paycheck is quite vital to the average family in America. The payless gap could have been longer and it may be, if Mr. Lewis or other labor leaders continue dictatorial attitudes. That the miners themselves lost a lengthy pay period is one thing. It was their decision. The $15,000,- 000 “fine” assessed against General Motors workers certainly is a horse of another color. Your Post Office The United States Post Office Department will have an income this year of about $1,450,000,000 which is just about twice what it was in 1940. Nevertheless, our Post Office Department is the World's largest business. It. has had to meet an increase cost in operation that carries a deficit this year of $350,000,000. It has cost the Government 400 million dollars in increased pay to postal em- ployees to carry on the work dur- ing the past year. And still only one person in the Department, the Post Master General is paid as much as $15,000 a year. The sal- aries in post offices haven't been raised for twenty years. Moving The Canned Pea Surplus It is estimated that there are 18,500,000 cases of canned peas on hand in the U. S. at the present time. This is a matter of great interest, not only for the producers of can- ning peas, but for the budget-con- scious "American housewife as well, for as a result of this large stock, canned peas today represent one of the largest bargains on the grocers’ shelves from the standpoint of flavor and nutrition. A nationwide advertising, pub- licity and merchandising campaign, concentrating on the month of May, has been launched by the Canned . Schedule of Services Prof. Paul G. Kiessel has announ- ced the following schedule of ser- vices for the Maple Grove Charge. Moretown Methodist, 9:45 a. m. worship; 10:45 a. m. Church School. Loyalville Methodist, Prof. Henry G.

April 12, 1948 Pea Association and numerous other cooperating groups interested in moving the bulk of these 18,500,000 , cases before the new crop is canned and put on the market. As a con- sequence May will see the biggest canned pea sales event in history. The great inventory of canned peas is the direct result of very large packs of peas in 1946 and 1947, combined with a sharp post- war curtailment of Federal Govern- ment purchases of canned peas during the past two years.

Ken played a few innings with Dallas Legion Sunday and showed a great deal of promise. Joe Tondora, East Dallas out- fielder, suffered a broken nose and a fractured cheekbone caused by a foul tip off his bat while playing in the East Dallas-Orange game Sunday. Sweet Valley won over Broadway 13 to 12 in the season’s opener on the Sweet Valley diamond. Sparky Rattigan, stellar second baseman of Dallas Legion made one of the most spectacular plays seen in a long time, when with a man on first and one out, he made a leaping back-handed catch of a sure hit and doubled the man on first to retire the side and pull the Dallas hurler, Harry Grose, out of a bad spot. The Larksville Tiger pitcher, Per- ry, made a big hit with the fans Sunday as he turned out to be quite a comedian and got more laughs than he had outs against Dallas Legion. Charles Lawson, Susquehanna League president, was at the Dallas Legion-Larksville game Sunday . . He told about his experiences against Back Mountain teams in past years when “ballplayers had hair on their chest.” Beaumont trounced Carverton 21- 1 in an amazing exhibition of one- sided baseball Sunday in a Bi- County League game at Beaumont. Clint Smith, Kaytee slugger, pounded a 400 foot home-run over the Kingston Township School building Friday against Fairview. Milton Lutsey won the game with his home-run. Hons, Kaytee pitcher, held his opponents to one hit. Laketon girls will meet Lehman girls in a Back Mountain Softball League game on Monday. Lake- ton also has games with Dallas Borough on May 17 and 24. Robert Dolbear and John Rosser, Dallas Township coaches, and Jo- seph Mainwaring, coach at King- ston Township, attended the Foot- ball Coaches Clinic at Jersey Shore last week. Guest speakers were Bob Higgins, coach of the Penn State Cotton Bowl team and Lefty James, coach at Cornell. . . . Watch for both Back Mountain teams to come up with some football sleight- of-hand next fall. Anyone who wishes to umpire baseball games should get in touch with George Gay, president, or Arch Austin, secretary of the Bi- County League. ¢ ‘Here's the dope on the latest PIAA ruling on high school players participating in outside games. According to Charles James, president Back Mountain League, high school players may play on other teams provided: A—They have permission from both coach and principal of school. B.—No one .on the team with which they play is being paid for playing. C— They don’t play under an assumed name. D—If a player pitches on his high school team, he may not pitch for any outside team, al- though he may play any other position. These rules apply to baseball only. Maybe this will clear up some of the confusion concerning this subject. I understand that Charles Law- son, president of Susquehanna Junior League, has been repri- manded by the Back Mountain League for unsportsmanlike conduct concerning the method of obtain- ing teen-age players for his league. At least someone is concerned over the interests of Back Mountain athletes. The Back Mountain League came through with some more amazing sharing ! upsets. Dallas Borough, school | STRICTLY BUSINESS ’ 9 . by McFeatiers SMOKING NO J WN N\ Mrs. Elmer Evans Is Hostess to Orange WSCS Mrs. Elmer Evans entertained members of the Orange WSCS at her home recently.

Then Lehman turned around and took Harter, top team in the league, 1 to O. Try to figure it out... . Lehman was in top form in de- feating Harter. Hunter, Lehman pitcher, turned in a 3-hit perform- ance as Junevitz, Harter twirler, lost a no-hitter. He walked a man, who once on base stole second, went to third and then scored the winning run on an overthrow and an error. Tunkhannock defeated Dallas Borough 24-13 in a comedy of er- rors Tuesday. Neither team out- played the other—it just out- fumbled the other. At one time, three errors by Dallas Borough let in nine Tunkhannock runs. Baseball Trophy Is On Display The Back Mountain League 1948 baseball trophy is now on exhibi- tion at the Gay-Murray Store in Tunkhannock. The trophy donated by Gay-Murray, will be presented to the league champion at a school assembly. Both Dallas Borough and Fairview Township have re- ceived their trophies for the basket- ball season and have them on dis- play in their schools. The trophy received by Dallas Borough girls was presented by the Dallas Post. That received by Fair- view Boys was presented by First National Bank, Dallas. Schools May Form New Softball League Tentative plans are being made for a girls’ softball league, accord- ing to George Taylor, secretary of the Back Mountain League. First contests are expected to be played in May by Lehman, Laketon, Dallas Borough and Township schools. Any girls softball teams desiring practice with League teams should call Mr. Taylor at Laketon schools. In view of the new PIAA ruling on girls’ basketball, softball may become the major girls’ sports in local schools. Beaumont Is Leading High School League Beaumont - High School team, coached by Arch Austin, is lead- ing the Western Division, Wyom- ing County League with no compe- tition in sight. Coach Austin has three teams and plays 18 to 20 men a game. The team won lopsided games against Mehoopany 9-0 and Lacey- ville 27-2. For a total season’s score of sixty-six runs in seven games. With Charlie Everett as starting pitcher and the entire team hitting at a high clip, Beau- mont has won every league game played this season. Historic Bucks County is one of the three original counties of Penn- sylvania. “FARM TOPICS Control Soil Erosion—More than 5000 soil erosion control demon- strations have been established in the State by the Agricultural Ex- tension Service of the Pennsylvania State College. They include con- tour strip farming, sod waterways, cover crops, pasture improvement, increased grassland farming, and some reforestation. Grow Strawberries—Set straw- berry plants 18 inches apart in rows 4 feet apart. Firm the soil around the roots with the crown showing just above the surface. Do not put fertilizer in the hole or fur- row with the plants because it will burn the roots. Plant Radishes Early—Radishes require cool weather and so must be planted early for the best pro- duct. They mature quickly, Scar- let Globe in 21 to 28 days, and White Icocle in a few days longer. Pull them when they are crisp and sweet. Poison Tent Caterpillars— Com- mercial orchards are rarely in- fested with eastern tent cater- pillars because early season sprays for codling moth usually kill them. Lead arsenate will kill them on other trees. Beets Are Early Crop—Beets are hardy spring plants and can be sown in the garden early. They require a fine seedbed, ample fer- tilizer, and a sweet soil. © Two or more plants grow from each com- pound seed. Handle Carefully—Where corro- sive sublimate is used to control vegetable diseases, it must be hand- led carefully in earthenware con- tainers, says A. H. Bauer, Penn State extension plant pathologist.
