The Orange and Black of Kings-

with a number of football players
holding down varsity posts . . . .
The Katies are counting on a smooths!
rangy squad to nab the laurels for
them. .... =
the first Kingston Township team
to take the cup . . . . Dallas Bor-

the top spot for the last number
of years, with only an occasional
championship for Dallas Township
and recently, Fairview.
Dallas Legion has been holding
practice sessions Sunday afternoon
in the Dallas Borough gym . . . .
The league in which the Legion-
aires are signed has not started |
operation as yet because of the
lack of a sufficient number of
teams to round out a full schedule.

me? Why do the people traveling
to the Methodist Church have to
use a sidewalk that is dangerous
in the daytime, and a positive men-
ace at night? Or if they don’t use
the sidewalk they have to travel
in the middle of the road at the
risk of being hit by an automobile ?
This sidewalk, with its upended
stones and deep holes, is a dis-
grace to the community and may
cause serious injury one of these
days or nights to some elderly per-
son.

The Bookworm

Maimed as he was, he was still
irresistable to women, and had
Queen Isabella of Spain openly as
his mistress.
He beat Jay Gould ,the pirate
financier at his own game. Later
when Gould had the temerity to
approach him, Sickles hit him in
the face with his crutch, and ill-
balanced as he was on one leg,
actually picked him up and threw
him out the window.
His greatest foe in battle, the
confederate General Longstreet be-
came his greatest admirer.
He even lived longer, he was
born in 1819 and died in 1914, al-
most one hundred of the most
formative years of this country.
What I am trying to say is this.
If you want excitement, adventure,
romance and history, this is your
your book.

Some time after all this blood
and thunder I picked up a book at
the library called “Three Parts
Scotch” by Guthrie Burton.
I vaguely thought it had some-
thing to do with kilts and bagpipes
or another lost weekend. Don’t let
the title” fool you, it only means
she has some Scotch in hen ances-
try.
The first sentence told me. It
read, “I was born August of 1882,
Ruth Guthrie Thompson—in Tunk-
hannock, a hill town of North-
eastern Pennsylvania.” How could
you put a book down that started
like that?
I learned that Tunkhannock and
Montrose were two of the hill
.| towns included in the Westmore-
land Grant, and settled by yankees
from Connecticut, whose claims re-
sulted in the Pennamite War.
Mrs. Burton remembers Harvey's
Lake in the early nineties, thickly
forested, full of wild life, with Al-
bert Lewis just beginning to cat
the pioneer timber.
The Beaumont stage was still
running to Tunkhannock, surely the
last stage coach operating in the
east.
She watched the pride of Fac-
toryville, Christy Mathewson pitch-
ing for his team as a youth.
Above all, she remembers most
poignantly the beauty of the coun-
try—Root Hollow, Mehoopany
Mountain, and the lovely Bowman's
Creek.
After graduating from Wyoming
Seminary, Mrs. Burton left to take
her part in a much bigger world—
a world of famous people and wide
travel. But she seems to have
left a large part of her heart in this
Back Mountain Region.

feathered dinner went begging.
“To the tune of $15 per plate,
that is,” added Grampaw Pettibone
looking at us over his bi-focaled
specs. He rustled his newspaper, as
he added slyly:
“And furthermore son, many of
the dissatisfied boys are now won-
dering where the money came from
for the big blow-out. ’Tis rumored
there's due to be some hard and
fast accounting soon.”
Aside from the festivity angle,
it seems that when brother Taylor,
Governor Duff's left-hand man, got
up to say a few words to the as-
sembled Senators, he was shouted
back into his seat without so much |
as getting started in his planned
speech.
It seems now that the Republican '
Senate force is fairly well divided,
sion next month can send Jim Duff
into a fine hand-wringing session.
About 17 of the upper house
lads, Grampaw Pettibone informed
us the other day in a bear-like
whisper, can be counted on as rid-
ing the anti-Duff-Taylor wagon.
There may be more as time moves
along and they become fed up with
the Duff finger-pointing and politi-
cal dictates,
Outside the Senate too, there
are many GOP leaders who are
opposing the Duff line. Among
these is said to be none other than
Pennsylvania’s Junior U. S. Sena-
tor Edward Martin, of Washing-
ton, Pa.
In any event, the political aspir-
ations of Jim Duff are going to be
nipped a-budding if some of the
GOP brass has its way.
