1 the passing of Boyd
Atherholt, familiarly known as
Uncle Boyd to the hundreds of
children he has helped across the
school intersection and the neigh-
bors he has befriended. His funeral
was a revelation of what he had
meant to the community. The ser-
vices, conducted by Rev. Robert T.
Webster on Saturday from the
were
largely attended, and the grave in
Cedar Crest Cemetery was banked
with flowers.
Mr. Atherholt,’ 72, had been
working in his garden Wednesday
afternoon when he dropped dead
from a heart attack. He had suf-
fered from heart trouble for the
‘past few years and knew that his
days were numbered.
He came of a pioneer family
that settled in the vicinity of Bun-
ker Hill, migrating from Holland
before the Revolution. The son of
Harvey and Eunice Atherholt, he
was born on the farm now owned
by Mrs. John Conyngham. He is
the last of six Atherholt boys, and
is survived by three sisters.
Earlier in life a painter, he aban-
doned that business when he con-
tracted lead colic twelve years ago.
Since that time, desiring outdoor
employment, he has worked from
: time to time on Kingston Town-
ship road maintenance.
He is survived by his widow, the
former Sarah Jane Hoover, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hoover,
Bunker Hill; a daughter, Blanche
Mae Atherholt, at home; sisters,
Mrs. Joseph Swank, Ashley; Mrs.
Leslie Spencer, Dallas RD; and Mrs.
Edgar Howard, California.

PHONE 458-R-13
With 1000 Guests At Grand Opening
Nearly 1,000 friends and mem-
bers of Daddow Isaacs Post, Amer-
ican Legion and Auxiliary, throng-
ed the newly remodelled and dec-
orated Home on Huntsville Road
Monday night from 6:30 to 3 AM.
So great was the crowd that
guests who wedged themselves in
at 9 P. M. were unable to get out
before midnight. Everything, in-
cluding drinks and orchids for the
ladies, was on the house, and food
in quantity, with plenty of potato
salad and cold cuts.
Primo Berrettini,. Commander,
said it was an evening of pure en- :
joyment, with nothing to mar it,
That guests had anything they
ordered to drink, from beer to im-
ported liquor, but that no dis-
order arose. Some of the liquid
‘refreshments were donated, some
were furnished by the American
Legion. Berrettini said there was
da big crowd coming and going all
evening, but mostly coming, and
that by 3 A. M. the cupboard was -
bare.
Legion facilities will be avail- |
able for dinner parties, with the
ultra-modern kitchen open to priv-
ate groups as well as legion affairs.

The parade will start at 5 and a

will sponsor the Trucksville team.
Other teams and their sponsors
are: Shavertown, Back Mountain

grounds will be in shape for the
opening game.

Trucksville Firemen
To Buy New Engine
Trucksville Volunteer Fire Com-
pany has voted to buy a new fire
engine, costing $10,500, with de-
livery within 90 days.
The firemen feel the firefighting
situation in Trucksville has reached
a critical stage with the increase
in population and the obsolescence
of the present equipment. As a
result of a recent survey, the Fire
Company voted unanimously Fri-
day night to purchase immediately |
a new fully equipped AEF Cor-
poration fire engine, mounted on
a three and one-half ton truck
chassis.
The apparatus will
new Barton-American Duplex
four-stage centrifugal pump of
500-gallon capacity, a newly de-
veloped appliance of the AEF Cor-
poration. This pump is believed to
be ‘the only one of its kind in this
area. The equipment includes a
high pressure fog spray.
The entire area has been zoned
by a committee and representatives
with call soon on all families for
collections to finance the new
equipment. The need is urgent, the
firemen feel, and the quality of the
fire protection which can be pro-
vided by the Trucksville Fire
Company depends solely upon the
loyalty of the townspeople.

Wilkes-Barrean Buys
Third English Auto
Edward Welles, Wilkes-Barre,
has purchased his third English-
make automobile from Daniel
Meeker of Kunkle Garage.
Mr. and Mrs. Meeker drove down
to New York over the weekend
and picked up an English Riley
saloon car shortly after it was de-
livered at the dock. An English
saloon is the equivalent of an
American made sedan. The car
is a green model with biege leather
upholstery and although not as
tall as most American cars has
about the same wheelbase. The
other two cars delivered by Mr.
Meeker to Mr. Welles were Aus-
tins.
Dan said the car handled beauti-
fully. Its 2%-litre capacity gaso-
line tank gives some indication of
its ease on gas consumption.
