Fire Damages
Loucks Home
Firemen Praised For
Handling Of Blaze
Fire originating around a Christ-
mas tree while the family were
having dinner at Benton Hotel on
Monday afternoon caused $1,000
damage to the home of Mr. and
Mrs, Jack Loucks of Terrace Drive.
Damage was confined to a living
rom, but all of the children’s
Christmas toys were destroyed and
all of the rooms were badly smoke
damaged.
Dr. Henry M, Laing Fire Com-
pany did a bang-up job of extin-
guishing the blaze which was dis-
covered by Judy Robinhold and
Eileen Ferry as they were passing
by. The girls called Mr. and Mrs.
L. L. Richardson and Mrs. Richard-
son notified the fire company while
Mr, Richardson ran to investigate.
Hundreds of spectators quickly
collected as soon as the alarm
sounded, Firemen had difficulty at
first locating the source of the fire
because of dense smoke that filled
the house. After breaking open a
door they crawled along the floors
wearing smoke masks until they
found the flames in the living room.
They used as little water as pos-
sible in order to hold down damage
and after extinguishing the blaze
which gutted the room, cleaned it
of debris and mopped floors,
Chief Besecker had some diffi-
culty in keeping the curious from
traipsing through the house, but
was commended by everybody for
the way he handled the work.
Chief Besecker said the company
has certain firemen designated as
police and that the public should
respect their orders at all fires.
He also asked those who go to
fires as spectators not to follow the
truck too closely as there is dan-
ger that some person or piece of
equipment may fall off the truck
into the path of following cars.
Mr. and Mrs. Loucks and family
are now living at Irem Temple
Country Club until their home can
be restored.
Mrs, Loucks mother, Mrs. Louise
Davies, who resides with them, left
Sunday, morning to visit a son and
daughter-inslaw, Mr, and Mrs, Ev-
erett Davies of Cleveland,
Hostess at Dinner Party
Mr. and Mrs. Robert J, Williams,
West Center street, Shavertown,
entertained the following guests at
a buffet dinner recently: Mr. and
Mrs. Carl Leighten Jr., Kingston,
Mr. and Mrs, James B. Post Jr.,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baab and Rob-
ert Nicholson of Wilkes-Barre, and
host and hostess.
Queen For A Day
(Continued from Page One)
Harvey's Lake Women's Service
Club which was quite a record in
itself. They were: Mrs, Avis Ko-
cher, Mrs, Mary Payne and Mrs.
Swanson, The others were from
Wyoming Valley. Mrs, Swanson
was selected from this group as
Queen for the Day for station
WBAX,
Appearing with her on the pro-
gram and taking part in the in-
terview which was conducted by
Announcer Ward were her fellow
clubmembers, Hilda Leinthal, presi-
dent; Reta Nelson, vice president;
Ann Rees, chairman of the commit-
tee; Martha Price, Elsie Rauch and
Mrs. Harry Allen, Mrs. Swanson’s
mother,
While they were on the program
similar selections were going on at
all of the 500 Mutual stations in
the United States. From 5,000
queens 500 were chosen, one for
each station. Then the selections
were narrowed to five women who
went to Hollywood and from them
one was selected as Queen of Am-
erica. She will receive a trip to
Europe and many gifts.
Mrs, Swanson was one of 500
queens before she was eliminated.
All queens had to be club members,
and all had to be nominated by
five members of their club in order
to enter the contest.
Some idea of the gifts showered
upon them can be obtained by list-
ing those received by Mrs. Swan-
son; a diamond ring, a beautiful
gown, linens, a rug, fifty pints of
ice cream, bedroom slippers, even-
ing shoes, ten pounds of candy and
many other items.
In the evening Mrs, Swanson was
guest of honor at a party given at
the home of Mrs. Hilda Leinthall
for club members. She received a
beautiful corsage.
“Oh, well it was fun” says Fred,
and Mrs, Swanson agrees,

Wedding Anniversary
MR. and MRS, OZMER E, HILBERT
Mr, and Mrs. Ozmer Eugene Hil-
bert of Beaumont will celebrate
their fiftieth wedding anniversary
Wednesday, January 18.
Mrs, Hilbert, the former Alice
Viola London, was born in Moscow
in 1877 but came to Beaumont as
a bride. Mr, Hilbert, son of Mr, and
Mrs. Conrad Hilbert, has spent his
entire life in Beaumont as a farmer,
He is seventy-seven,
The couple had nine children,
eight of whom are living, Glenn
died in the tragic automobile acci-
dent on Memorial Highway a few
years ago when several young folks
were burned to death. Living are
Clarence,well known chicken hat-
cher, the oldest; and Stanley of
Beaumont; Paul . of Kunkle; Mrs.
Irwin Schooley, of Trenton, N, J.;
Robert of Duncannon; and Mrs.
James Hummel of Claude street.
There are also twenty-two grand-
children.
Though the Hilberts are not too
well, they still manage to take
good care of three cows and a flock
of chickens; and to keep up with
the chores ever present on a farm.
Six Back Mountain High School
League Teams Open Season Tonight
Six of seven teams will see action
in the Back Mountain High School
League tonight. All of the squads
have had extensive practice and a
host of pre-season exhibition games
while getting in trim for league
play.
Fairview, last year’s champions,
opens at home against Dallas Bor-
ough, The Mountain Toppers have
little hope of repeating last year’s
stint for they have lost, through
injuries or graduation, a number
of last year’s league leading squad
including Gene Strauss and Charles
Frankenfeld. Dallas Borough is
pretty much of a dark horse with
five new courtmen replacing last
year’s all-senior five, However, the
Blue and Gold cagers have im-
proved steadily since their first
workouts and with junior center
Jack Piznar to add height the Bor-
ough might well become dangerous
after a few games.
K. T, Visits Harter
Kingston Township visits Harter
in what may well be a preview of
this year’s pennant finale. Both
teams are rated hot contenders for
the pennant with Harter having
the slight edge on experience, and
this may make the difference,
height and the sharpshooting of Mec-
Keown and Crawford. The Katies
will rely on a uniformly rangy
quintet with Shawn Richards, anly
member of last year’s all-star team
returning to league play, and Jack
Pesavento as a deadly scoring duo.
Dallas Twp. Host to Lake
Dallas Township is host to Lake-
ton in a battle for the cellar. Both
outfits are rebuilding and as a
consequence are weak, Dallas
Township rates the nod on the
basis of superior height although
the Lakars have shown up well in
pre-season play. Johnny Roberts is
the only member of last year’s var-
sity returning for the Redskins,
while Laketon will have the core of
last year’s first ten, headed by
Searfoss.
Lehman, idle during the league
openers, is the third team in the
race for the title, The Scotties are
due for a high spot this year. All
of last year's varsity has returned,
headed by Art Nuss, high scoring
forward. The league stacks up into
three major segments—top, middle
and bottom, Harter, Lehman and
Kingston Township are in the top
bracket. All’ three have the nec-
essary ingredients for a champion-
ship team-—scoring punch, height,
and court savvy. A few good breaks
for any one of the three should
place it on top. Harter has the
edge at present, but as the season
progresses, the other two will catch
up.
In the middle bracket are Fair-
view and Dallas Borough. Both
have pretty good squads, but seem
to lack the necessary punch to
bring home the pennant. Mostly
they lack a consistent scorer and
the needed experience, On the bot-
tom it looks like Laketon and Dal-
las Township for the second
straight year. ’

dream “standing”?
Well, we did!
