THE POST, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1949
Don't let coughing, wheezing, recurring at-
~ tacks of Bronchial Asthma ruin sleep and
energy without trying MENDACO,
. which
works thru the blood to reach bronchial
tubes and lungs. Usually helps nature quickly
remove thick, sticky mucus. Thus alleviztes
coughing and aids freer breathing and better
sleep. Get MENDACO from druggist. Satiss
faction or money back guaranteed.

Make Buildings Ratproof - One of
the effective controls of rats is rat-
proofing of buildings. It will pre-
vent the rats from getting an ade-
quate feed supply by keeping them
out of granaries, corncribs, feed
hoppers, and other structures.
Keep Poultry Records - Good rec-
ords are essential to profitable
poultry management. The records
will show which birds are pro-
ducing at a profit and which ones
are losing money for the poultry-
man.
Protect Potato Quality - Careful
handling is necessary to protect
the quality of potatoes from farm
to market.
Use Proved Dairy Sire - Select a
proved sire to head the dairy herd
He should have sired daughters
having higher production than
their dams and also higher pro-
duction than the average cow in
the herd where he is to be used.
Good or better type also must be
considered.
Store Sprayer Safely - Every spray-
er needs a thorough cleaning be-
for it is stored for the winter.
Lubricate the pump and check for
worn parts to be replaced before
another season. Oil leather plun-
gers but not rubber or fiber plun-
gers.
Test Soil Samples - Lime should
not be applied to farm soils unless
needed. Have the soil tested for
lime needs. Take a little soil from
a half dozen spots in the area to
be limed and mix it for the sample
to be tested by the county agri-
cultural agent.
better grade of milk produced.
Expect strong Market - A strong
demand for most farm products is
| expected in 1949. Feed costs are
expected to be lower but other
farm costs are likely to increase.
Produce Strong Shells - Eggs must
have strong shells to avoid break-
age. Feed oyster shells and vitamin
1 D to the layers.

The lid’s off on another hot
basketball season . . . . The Back
Mountain League swings into action
tonight with the top game of the
evening slated for Kingston Town-
ship’s floor as the Katies play host
to Fairview Township . . . . Both
squads, together with Dallas Bor-
ough, are rated as top place teams
Fairview features a high
scoring attack with veteran pivot-
man Gene Straus and guard
Frankenfield at its head
Kingston Township is counting on
its all senior quintet to cop its
first championship in the Back
Mountain League . . . . This game
is a toss-up with the final stand-
ing of the teams hinging on it.
Dallas Borough will entertain
Laketon with open arms tonight
. . The Boro-ites figure as tops
in this encounter with their fast
attack and pressing defense giving
them the nod . . . . The Blue and
Gold is sporting another all senior
combination which already has a
decisive win over Forty Fort to its
credit . . . . Laketon will rely on
the dead shooting of Danny Gulitus
to keep them in the running.
Dallas Township travels to Leh-
man in another toss-up affair....
Neither team is very strong, but
the Scotties will have the slight
advantage of playing on their home
floor . . . . Harter draws a by this
week and can just wait and see
how things shape up . . . . The
Plymouth Township boys don’t
stack up as a top team, but may
cause a lot of trouble to the rest
of the league.

The Church, League finally got
off to a belated start Monday after
several weeks controversy over the
prospective gyms to be used for
its games . . . . The loop is evenly
balanced with ten teams, coming
from all parts of the region, as
members . . . . The teams are from
such scattered places as Trucksville
and Kunkle, Carverton and Leh-
man . . . . Bert Owens is league
president assisted by Bill Baker,
Jr., Jack Roberts and Byron Kit-
chen . . .. There are many veteran
ball players on the rosters with
the greater part of them recent
high school graduates . .. . It has
been pointed out that this is a
post-school league no high
school students are eligible for any
of the teams. |
Top game of the week was the
nip and tuck contest between Leh-
man and Trucksville at Lehman |
gym of . The score was tight
right down to the final whistle as |
Kleban, Lehman, sunk a basket in |
the closing minutes to put Leh= |
man in the lead 31-30 |
Trucksville had a chance to tie
the game right at the end when
it was awarded a foul shot, but it
failed to make it good so Lehman
took the game 31-30 . . . . In the
other game played on the Lehman
floor Dallas Methodist “B” defeated
Carverton- 37-26 . Templin,
Knecht, Edwards and Roberts led
the Dallas team against a sur-
prisingly strong Carverton outfit.
Three games were played on the
Dallas Township floor with St.
Therese’s taking Huntsville
Christian 49-40 in the highest scor-
ing game of the evening. Roberts
featured with 16 points for the
losers while Hart and Mackravitz
totaled 32 points between them to
pace the victors . . . . In the next
game Dallas Methodist “A” team
took the measure of Shavertown
Lutheran 28-17 in a low scoring
but fast and well played game.
Drake with seven points was high
for Dallas, while Newhart with five
was tops for Shavertown
East Dallas defeated Kunkle 25-19
in the final game . . . . The game
was slow with numerous fouls
called throughout Wilson
sunk 11 points for the winners as
Jiggs Elston had seven for the
losers.

Building Activity
Declines In State
Twelve months ago many a con-
tractor the length and breadth of
Pennsylvania—and the Nation too
—scoffed at the thought that build-
ing ‘activity would decline for an-
other three years.
Builders too, basking in the sun
of a war-born housing shortage and
a concequent era of financial pros-
perity, plugged confidently ahead
demanding of any and all who
would pay, the highest prices on
record.
But the housing shortage in
Pennsylvania is gradually being
eliminated and, the number of
houses for sale’ is steadily on the
increase. 7
Building factivity—dué o fantas-
tically high prieés—is gradually
falling off throughout the State.
Records of the State Depart-
ment of Labor and Industry over
the past half dozen months show
that the number of building per-
mits taken out are on a definite
decline.
In August for example, of 346
cities reporting, a total of 1603
building permits were taken out
for new residential homes.
In contrast, during the month of
September the number of permits
issued for new homes dropped to
1241. Correspondingly the estima-
ted cost of these new homes drop-
ped from $17,259,766 in August to
$11,711,962 in the following month.
A spokesman for the department
pointed out that this represents a
decrease in home building permits
of 22.6 per cent and a 32.1 per
cent decrease in estimated costs,
