Don't miss the studio exhibit which is being shown at Lazarus’ De-
partment Store in Wilkes-Barre, on the third floor in that corridor lead-
ing to the cafeteria.
long, well lighted, uncluttered,
easy of access by elevator.
Some of your friends and neigh- .
Dies In Sleep
bors are showing pictures and they
would welcome your support. It
takes a lot ui nerve to stack ones
own picture up against other pic- |°
tures executed by folks who have
had more experience, but it is a
lot of fun. Maybe the members of
the group can paint rings around
you, but it still remains fun.
Exhibiting the brain-child is
also of great value, for the pub-
lic is outspoken and it does not
pull its punches. If somebody in a
pink-flowered babushko doesn’t like
a composition, she says so, and ex-
plains at great length just what dt
is that guides her opinion. The
eavesdropping painter then has
her choice of considering the source
or of sizing up her picture with the
eye of a stranger and making up
her mind in all honesty whether
the criticism is warranted.
Mrs. George Keller has several
pictures in the show. There is one
small composition which shows an
exquisite eye for small detail, a
Wedgewood vase with all the tiny
figures faithfully duplicated. It has
a fragile, old fashioned quality
which is wholly delightful, and its
title, ‘Miniature’, bears out its
character.
Mrs. Floyd Sanders also breaks
into the show with a composition
featuring a vase, -but this one is
Chinese Red against a dark back-
ground, rich and colorful.
Glendora Bryant has hung what
constitutes almost a one-man show,
most of the pictures large, all of
them faithfully executed in con-
siderable detail. There is one, done
recently and with an unusual lack
or restraint, which is outstanding.
This picture shows dark oak leaves
combined with orchid chrysanthe
mums. Very pleasing in coloring
and composition, it would be an
asset to almost any living room,
and is large enough for over-the-
mantel hanging.
Mrs. J. 5 Carr, a fairly recent
is
showing a view from her window,
across the valley to the Kingston
Township High School in the back-
ground.
Mrs. Fred Howell, also a new-
comer to the studio as of last year,
is astonishing herself and every-
body else. It is unfortunate that
the still-life she has been working
on recently was not finished in
time for the exhibit, as it shows
not only excellent draughtsman-
ship but a feeling for texture that
is unusual. Alice is represented in
the exhibit by a pair of small
flower pictures. The rhododendron
composition, in particular, is nicely
balanced and lacks fussiness.
ing her striking compositions along-
side amateur work. Her coloring is
sometimes somber, but it always
has authority. It is an inspiration
~ to note her complete statement of
fact, unmarred by extraneous
matter. Very few painters have
technical skill enough to dare to
~ eliminate background and allow
the composition itself to tell its
own story in simple phrases.
Mrs. Hicks? Modesty forbids
blowing my own horn, but upon
being pressed I am willing to ad-
mit that I have four pictures in
the show, two of them mediocre,
one fair, and one not so bad.
_ The studio group owes an over-
whelming debt of gratitude to Mrs.
Alexander Coxe Williams for her
never-flagging interest in the work,
her willingness to give assistance
when pssistance is asked, and her
equal “willingness to refrain from
comment when a struggling painter
prefers to beat her head against
a stone wall.

Sterling Machell
Was on Hunting Trip
In Pike County
The community==was saddened
Friday to learn of the quiet pass-
ing of Sterling Machell, 76, one of
its oldest and most respected cit-
izens.
Mr, Machell was found dead in
bed at Quiwamic Hunting Lodge in
Pike County where he had been
spending several days on a hunt-
ing trip with old friends.
Born in Dallas on November 28,
1872, the son of Leonard and El-
lanor Machell, ‘he spent his en-
tire life on the farm where he was
born. For 15 years he served as
a borough councilman, holding that
position when Dallas got its first
paved road. He also served one
term on Dallas school board when
the present building was erected.
He was the oldest director, in
years of service, on the Board of
First National Bank having been
elected to that position in 1910.
Since 1923 he had been wice pres-
ident of the bank.
He was a member of Dallas
Methodist Church and was a mem-
ber of Dallas Lodge of Odd Fellows
for 45 years.
Generations of youngsters loved
to visit the Machell Farm for he
had a way of attracting young
people to him, and of understand-
ing them. Among the older gener-
ation he was a steadfast friend.
With him at the hunting camp
where he died was his son, Jerry,
and David Kunkle who had gone
there the night before to hunt
with him. During the earlier part
of the week he had remained near
the cabin so that he would be in
condition to keep up with the
young blades when they arrived.
Nothing would have pleased him
more than to have helped the
ung Lt He was that
iy of man.
Beside his wife the former Eva
LaBar, he leaves two sons, Leon-
ard and Jerry Lee, both at home,
and a daughter, Mrs. William
Brickel, Factoryville; also two sis-
ters, Mrs. Clark Hildebrant, Dal-
las, and Mrs. Herbert P. Riley,
Lehman, and four grandchildren.
Largely attended funeral ser-
vices were held Monday afternoon
from the family home on Machell
Avenue with Rev. Frederick Rein-
furt of Dallas Methodist Church
officiating. Interment was in the
family plot in Warden Cemetery.
Christmas Lights

Turned On Tuesday
Julia Ashley shouldn't be show-
Christmas street lights were
turned on in Dallas for the first
time on Tuesday night. Shortly
thereafter a fuse blew out in the
Main Street transformer belonging
to Luzerne County Gas and Electric
Company and threw a large part
of town in darkness. A repair crew
replaced the fuse within an hour.
The lights extend from Back
Mountain Memorial Library to
Himmler Theatre and the Com-
monwealth Telephone
building.
The top of a beautiful spruce
obtained from Joseph Elicker of
Pioneer Avenue has been erected
at the Honor Roll and strung with
lights.
Dispatch with which the lights
were erected this year was due in
large measure to the direction of
Harry Lee Smith, of Smith’s Econ-
omy Store, Huntsville Road. Mr.
Smith called out the old guard,

Quintets Ready
To Open Season
Ten Teams Wil 1
Play on Saturday
And Monday Nights
Operating under stricter rules
than previously, the Church Bas-
ketball League is preparing to in-
augurate its third seaon.
Pending acquisition of local gyms
and preparation of a fixed sched-
ule; the league will begin opera-
tion either this weekend or as
is more likely, the weekend of
December 18. Dallas Borough and
Kingston Township school gyms
have been obtained for Saturday
nights and the Lehman gym for
Monday nights. Dallas Township
gym is still under consideration.
Present plans call for the use of
two gyms a night: three games to
‘| be played at one gym and two at
the other. Saturday and Monday
nights were voted as the most
opportune times for the games.
With the Mt. Zion Methodist
team replacing Shavertown Meth-
odist, the loop will be at full ten
team strength. Along with Mt.
Zion will be Shavertown Luther-
an, St. Therese’s, Huntsville Christ-
ian, Dallas Methodist, ‘A’ and ‘B’
teams, Trucksville Methodist, East
Dallas Methodist, Kunkle Metho-
dit and Lehman Inter-Church. The
interest is high at all churches
and each is out as a possible win-
ner.
The league will be governed by
Inter-Church Basketball Council,
composed of a minister and layman
from each church. A new rule,
which will be strictly enforced, is
that—each man must be a
member or attendant of the
church on whose team - he
plays and may not be playing
either collegiate or professional
ball. A ‘man who is a member of
a church which does not have a
team represented in the league may
play with another league team.
Preliminary plans for the league
were drawn by Rev. F. W. Rein-
furt, Dallas, who acted as tempor-
ary chairman. Bert Owens, Trucks-
ville, was elected permanent chair-
man and league president at a
recent meeting. At the same meet-
ing the following offices were
filled: Secretary, William Baker,
Dallas; Chairman of Schedule Com-
mittee, John Roberts, Dallas;
Chairman of Roster Committee, By-
ron Kitchen, Shavertown.
Business Association
To Elect New Officers
George Turn, W, B. Jeter and
Harry Lee Smith were named to a
committee to nominate officers to be
elected at the January meeting of
Dallas Business Association at the
Back Mountain Memorial Library.
Plans for the next meeting were
discussed and effort will be made
to make a personal contact with
all businessmen so that the next
meeting will be well attended.
At that meeting W. B. Jeter will
give a talk on “Credits” and on the
progress of the local credit report-
ing system.
Lawrence Updyke will lead a
discussion on ‘Store Hours” and
James Besecker will present a plan
on “Co-Operative Advertising’.

Samuel Eggleston,
Orchardist,
Is Ninety Years Old Today
Samuel Eggleston, first commer-
cial apple orchardist in Wyoming
County, is observing his ninetieth
birthday anniversary quietly ~at
his home in Vernon today,”
Mr. Eggleston was active and
enjoyed excellent health until last, |.£
February 17, when he “fel*ff6m a
porch roof while removing icicles.
He had partially recovered when
he fell down a flight of cellar
stairs but he is now on the mend
and although unable to follow the
routine of farm chores is still very
interested in all farm activity.
The son of Rastus and Lucy Rey-
nolds Eggleston he still lives on
the farm where he was born but
which is now operated by his son,
Clyde and grandson, Alva.
Mr. Eggleston’s father and uncle
migrated from Connecticut shortly
after the beginning of the nine-
teenth century. They carried with
them a spade and soil testing out-
fit testing the soil in Pennsyl-
vania and lower New York state
for good farm land. Rastus Eggle-
ston settled on the farm at Vernon
purchasing the land for $2.50 an
acre from the Hollenback family.
His brother, however, traveled on
to Syracuse, N. Y., ‘where he pur-
chased a farm which later became
the campus of Syracuse University.
In those early days, Mr. Eggle-
ston likes to recall; the closest
store was at Keelersburg where the
family went onee or twice a year
to buy molasses and yard goods.
The best market for farm produce
was then in Easton.
Although his father had planted:
a few apple trees they were an in-

Council President
Receives Navy Award
Joseph MacVeigh, Center Hill
Road, president of Dallas Borough
council and vice-president of the
Pressed Steel Company of Wilkes-
Barre, has received a certificate
of merit from the Navy League of
the United States for his service
in connection with the recent
Navy Day celebration in Wyoming
Valley.
Mr. MacVeigh was awarded the
certificate for his ‘patriotic effort
in honoring our great American
Navy” in a communcation from F.
A. Hecht, Washington, president of
the Navy League.
William Potter Wear, state pres-
ident for Pennsylvania in the Navy
League, also has forwarded his con-
gratulations to Mr. MacVeigh,
cidental part of the farm income.
Samuel Eggleston believed that
apples could be a major farm crop
and with that vision backed by
determination he planted forty
acres with small trees. By 1914 the
annual - harvest of 10,000 bushels
had developed to a point where
a better means of transportation
was needed to take the crop to
market, so Mr. Eggleston purchased
the first 2-ton truck ever sold in
Wyoming County. His presses pro-
duced between 300 and 400 gallons
of cider annually and the quality
of his apples found a ready market
throughout Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania.
In those days the popular var-
ieties were Baldwin, York Imper-
ial, Sutton Beauty, Red Astrakhan,
and Northern Spy.
Today MacIntosh, Delicious and
Red Gravenstein are among the
most popular in the Eggleston or-
chards.
The year Mr. Eggleston bought
the truck was also the first year
he followed a complete spray sched-
ule. Prior to that time there were
few fungus diseases and the Codd-
ling Moth, or the apple tree worm,
was the worst pest.
But just as he had seen the
possibilities of apples as a com-
mercial crop, Mr, Eggleston grasped
the necessity of spraying in order
to obtain quality.
Probably more than any other
local man, Samuel Eggleston,
through his vision and willingness
to accept change, stimulated other
men to follow his course and de-
velop fine commercial apple or-
chards in Wyoming and Luzerne
counties.

las. Rotary Club, has appointed a

nounced yesterday afternoon by
Ralph Garrahan who. with George
Ruckno is co-owner of Shavertown

hoped that the building will be
ready for occupancy by April 1.
The building will be one-story,

the new Acme Market which
opened yesterday on Wyoming
Avenue, Kingston, ”
The structure will be built at the
far end of the lot along the line
bordering the Himmler property.
The remaining portion of the lot
will be paved to provide parking
for patrons.
“You can say both for Mr.
Ruckno and me, as well as for the
American Stores Company” Mr.
Garrahan added, ‘that we all have
great faith in the Back Mountain
region’.
Asked whether there was a
possibility that his firm might
build a building large enough to
provide a new post office, Mr.
