BILL'S BITS
By Bill Hart
From here it looks like Fairview
is a sure bet for the boy's title . . .
. In the topsy turvy girl's league, any
prediction is liable to backfire, but
Dallas Borough girls have too much
offensive and defensive power for
the other teams in the loop . . . .
aN Dallas Borough girls, by the way,
are in a very nice position, they
will have the same team back with
them next year . . . . most of this
years’ team are juniors.
Runners-up in the boy’s league
look like Kingston Township, Dal-
las Borough and Lehman in that
order . . . . The next three games
in the girl's league are anybody's
guess, but (will come out of this
group; Dallas Township, Kingston
Township, Lehman and Laketon. .
. . With Dallas and Kingston
Township the top teams.
Dallas Borough travels to Fair-
view tonight determined to upset
the favored Mountain Top five and
regain some of its lost prestige . . .
Fairview, however, has two definite
advantages . . . . It's playing on
its own court and can boast two
out of the league’s three top scor-
ers. . . . The Borough, on the other
hand, has a smooth evenly bal-
anced outfit plus the incentive to
score a victory. . . . Fairview will
have to be on its toes for this one.
Laketon visits Dallas Township
with the victor in this event mov-
ing out of the cellar, breaking the].
tie for the last place spot. . . . Both
® are evenly matched and striving
~ for the victory. .
. . Laketon was
the winner 34-30 in the first game
at home . . . . The high scoring
Katies, averaging 49 points a game
with a total of 393 points, only one
© point behind the 394 total of the
leading Fairview team, will invade
Harter in another tough game. . . .
Harter, in fifth place, has thrown
a scare into the leaders a number
of times.
Tuesday will feature two blood
games. . . . Fairview will be host
to the Lehman Scotties and plans
to avenge the earlier, and only,
defeat handed them. . . Harter
goes to Dallas Borough and the
Borough is still smarting under
the defeat handed them the first
half, thereby killing their title
hopes. . . . A victory for the Bor-
ough will keep them in the top
four. . . . In the remaining game
Kingston Township engages Lake-
ton at home in what should be the
Katie's game,
The top girl's game will be Fri-
days’ Laketon - Dallas Township
affair. . . . Dallas Township, in a
tie with Kingston Township for sec-
ond place, must win this one to
stay on top . . . . Both Dallas Town-
ship and Kingston Township are
one-half game out of first place
behind the league leading Dallas
Borough team. . . .“Laketon girls
figure in another important game
on Tuesday when they meet Kings-
ton Township. . . . The Katies will
need this win, while a double vic-
tory for the Laketon girls over the
weekend will place them near the
top again.
Biggest surprise the past week
was Dallas Township's double vic-
tory over Lehman. . . . The girl's
teams were rated almost even, but
the Lehman boys were figured at
least ten points better. . . . But
disregarding all odds the girls won
and the boys turned in an amazing

With most teams having only
three games to go, some only two,
the stretch run lis beginning . . . .
St. Therese’s by virtue of their nar-
row victory over Dallas ‘B’ Monday
now leads the field with six wins
and no losses. . . . Right on its
heels with a six and one record is
Dallas ‘A’, which was upset by the
rampaging Kunkle team Saturday.
Next in line is Shavertown Luther-
an, 5-1, which was idle last week.
The fourth place squad is the rapid-
ly climbing East Dallas combina-
tion with a 4-2 record. . . . Fifth
and sixth places are in a scramble
with Lehman Inter-Church, Dallas
‘B’, Kunkle and Huntsville Christ-
ian all striving to break .500.
The coming games will severely
test the leaders as on Saturday
Dallas ‘A’ meets Dallas ‘B’ and St.
Therese’s tangles with East Dallas
in crucial games . . . . Monday's
games find Shavertown Lutheran
and St. Therese’s battling in what
promises to be one of the best
games of the season.

Parker's Texaco Station
Installs Tabet Machine
A Tabet Quick Oil Changer, has
ben introduced to the Back Moun-
tain area by George Parker, Tex-
aco Station, Shavertown. This ma-
chine, one of twelve in this sec-
tion of the state, is a compact cab-
inet containing a motor, suction
pump and resevoir. Operating on a
vacuum principle, it drains the oil
from the crankcase in three min-
utes with a minimum of trouble
by means of hoses, even draining
more oil than the regular draining
procedure.
Parker, who resides in Trucks-
ville Gardens, began management of
the Texaco Station early last sum-
mer with his sons, John and Cliff.
Discussing the Tabet machine, Par-
ker stated its installation
one of many steps being taken to
make the station the most modern
and best equipped in the region.

Women's Club Chorale to Sing
At All Back Mountain Concert
Dallas Women’s Club Chorale,
directed by Mrs, Norman F. Pat-
ton, will take part in the Sec-
ond Annual Musicale of Back Moun-
tain Talent to be held March 18th,
at Kingston Township High School.
Organized within the past two
years, this talented singing organ-
ization was enthusiastically re-
ceived at last year’s Musicale.
Atty. William A. Valentine and
Harry Trebilcox will be piano solo-
ists. Atty. Valentine is also a com-
poser, and among his selections will
be one of his own compositions.
Harry Trebilcox, one of the out-
standing younger musicians, is a
unior at Kingston Township High
School, and won a superior rating
in Luzerne County Forensic Con-
tests and later in a contest of stu-
dents of northeastern Pennsylvan-
ia.

clude Kingston Township High
School Band, directed by Prof. Ver-
us M. Weaver; William Burnaford,
tenor; and Mrs, Allan Sanford, Sop-
rano. There will also be duets,
cornet and clarinet solos.
All of the talent are residents
of the Back Mountain Area and
every effort has been made to have
all local communities represented
on the program.
Considerable interest is being
shown by music instructors of the
area, and it is hoped that the
event will develop - into an out-
standing annual concert. Many pro-
minent citizens have volunteered
as patrons to encourage this worth-
while endeavor which is sponsored
by the Ladies’ Auxiliary of St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church.

Church will hold an oyster supper
at their church basement on Sat-
