SOLD BY THE POST, FRIDAY MAY 13, 1949 ren rms All Fi-County Teams To Play Three teams—Noxen, Orange, Shavertown—stand out in the few games played so far this season . .. Noxen, which finished strong last season has scored 27 runs to their opponents 9 displaying power plus . . Harding rates as the best de- fensive team in the league having allowed only 7 runs to cross the plate . . . Beaumont is tied with Noxen in the offensive department also having sent across 27 runs in its two games. Last year’s stalwarts—Noxen, Orange, Beau- mont, East Dallas and Shavertown —plus one strong newcomer, Dal- las, give all indications that the race will be close right up to the wire. the top place teams against each other when Orange travels to Nox- en for their first encounter of the season . . . Both teams feature a power hitting attack and this game promises to turn into an old fashioned slugfest . . . Both the Shavertown-Carverton and the East Dallas-Harding games loom as tight low-scoring affairs with Shavertown and East Dallas getting the nod . This will be the second en- counter of the young season for East Dallas and Harding . . . The Harding lads came out on top in the first game 4-1 as Red Winter's long home run accounted for East Dallas’ only run. All the games were rained out last Sunday and will be made up either May 31 or July 4—these two dates being open on the schedule. Osterhout has engaged a new field for its games. It will now play on the Tunkhannock Armory diamond. All remaining teams will use their own diamonds, with Dallas and East Dallas sharing Dallas Township field. Both Car- verton and Vernon have improved and relocated their playing fields to get them in better shape for this season’s activity. First week's games started out with a bang as six of the top teams were matched against each other. Noxen, last year’s playoff winner, won a narrow 7-6 triumph over the new Jackson team. Beaumont and Orange, last year’s first and second place outfits, struggled through a tight 1l-inning battle with the Orangemen coming out ahead with an 8-7 score. Shaver- town, strong at the start last year but faded: during late season com- petition, took the measure of the strong Dallas team 9-6. Harding which finished in the cellar this past season, surprised East Dallas’ pennant contenders with a 4-1 victory. In the other games Ver- non smothered Osterhout and Car- verton took a close one from Falls.

When Parents Give AR Whoop Some time ago the Detroit Free Press ran a series of articles critical of the Detroit schools. We do not have space here to enter into the question of how well or illfounded the charges were. We're more concerned right now about a little piece The Detroiter, weekly publication of the Detroit Board of Commerce, carried as a result of these ar- ticles. It said: “Much of the fault with our school system, being exposed by the Free Press, is due to tax- payers who Dbellyache about costs and frills. You send lobby- ists like us to the Schoolboard or Council Chambers to keep taxes down, because education costs more than any other item on your peacetime municipal tax-budget, If you dig into the problem and learn what you're getting for your money, your viewpoint may change. What's the end-product that your tax dollar is buying ? Are the gradu- ates that you purchase worth a damn when they're let loose? If not, “is; it their fault? If taxpayers considered quality and would buy education like they buy cheese—maybe they'd get their money's worth—and the world might be much more com- fortable. “Don’t sit around with other parents discussing the disgraceful educational results that we're getting from our schools—unless you've done something about it. Have you ever met any of your kid’s teachers? “When parents give a whoop, education will come into its own.” YOUR PRIVATE SAFE A Safe Depasit Box: in our Fire-and-Theft-Praof Vaults Pretocts valiables of Joss then fe o day.

Ey —— ee Dallas Batters Tri While East Dallas Takes Falls | Both Dallas teams scored their first victory of the season as they came out in front in last Sunday’s games. East Dallas took over Falls 8-5 and Dallas tromped Carverton 11-5. Dallas exploded for 16 hits, five for extra bases, to garner 11 runs while pitchers Charlie Brobst and Jack Fiske held Carverton to 7 hits and 5 runs. Catcher Tom Edwards led the Dallas attack with four hits, one of them a long double. Harry Grose, fleet center- fielder, connected for a triple and a single, as Glenn Roberts, Harold Brobst and Jimmy Knecht each cracked out a double and a single. L. Vachicha and C., Cyphers were tops for Carverton with two singles apiece. East Dallas knocked out 12 hits behind Warren Stanton’s almost perfect control to defeat Falls 8-5. Stanton allowed only one man to reach first via a free pass and struck out 10 batters. Harry Mar- tin was the spearhead of the East Dallas attack with a perfect day at bat as he hit four for four with a double and three singles to knock in five runs. Garbutt, Wilson, Bittenbender and Z. Martin had two bingles apiece to complete the East Dallas hitting. Falls had three doubles—Haywald, Durland and Rossman—but two of them were wasted as they were hit with the bases empty. Display of Flowers Excites Admiration Shavertown has among its many flower lovers, two devoted expon- ents. They are Charles Eberly, Center Street and W. D. Roberts who resides next to Dr. Sherman Schooley on Roushey Hill. Mr. Eberly, a newcomer, has labored unceasingly to transform the plot at the rear of his home from a bare mound of earth into a lovely expanse of velvet lawn and bright flowers. About his new home he has planted shrubs and gay plants, adding an appearance of richness to an attractive dwell- ing. Many hours of back breaking toil have brought about the transform- ation. Behind his rear yard is an ugly hill which Mr. Eberly hopes shortly to convert into an eye catching rock garden. Walking up Roushey Hill from the Main Highway, many residents pause at the fairyland of color, Mr. Roberts has created about his home. A flower lover of intense and artistic ingenuity, his arrange- ment of lovely blooms offers a stimulating and delightful display. Several weeks ago, hyacinths and daffodils were swaying gently in the pleasant garden. At present, a multitude of tulips in glorious hues rise proudly from their beds. As the season progresses, newer and brighter assortments will spring up, transforming this bit of the community into a lovely spot and bringing much pleasure to the heart of its creator. Both men can well be proud of their contribution to the beauty of the area in which they live. ~J} Now when you are taking off your fur coat and you are ready to hang it away, why not look it over? ‘See whether you want to restyle it.
