Grosbeaks Arrive
Clinton Ide, Huntsville, reports
a flock of (twenty Evening Gros-
beaks arrived at hishome on Mon-
day morning and stayed there
most of ‘the day * to sunflower
seeds.
Grosbeaks breed and hatch in
Western Alberta and the north-
western United States and migrate
East rather than South. They are
not usually seen in the East until
mid January. The last big mogra-
tion of grosbeaks to this area was
three years ago in midwinter.

ful about the next generation de-
riving benefits.
Conditions that are discernible
even to the untrained can, and
eventually will be, eliminated by
the installation of filter plants by
the Coal Companies, and by sewage
disposal plants that should be fi-
nanced by Federal funds.
Laws that would have prevented
such conditions from arising were
enacted but never enforced. Flaunt-
ing of these laws is recorded in
the archives of civilization as pro-
gress.

The axiom, “In unity there is
strength,” is as true today as when
it was phrased centuries ago. How-
ever, in this modern age there Is
one group so divergent in their
ideas of a program of betterment
for their favorite sport that unity
will never, I'm afraid, be achieved.
_ If one were to ask of ten hunters
the ever controversial question,
“What do you think of a doe
season?"
different answers.
Many Sportsmen's clubs have
been started throughout the State.
Some have prospered, some have
failed. One group that has proved
its worth and is a monumental ex-
ample of what can be done in
unity, is the Lycoming County
Sportsmen Club. This camp has a
membership of approximately 8000
persons. They are the owners of
one of the finest sportman recrea-
tion centers in the State, and I
submit that a group this size is a
power to be considered.
What would be accomplished if
every person who purchased a
fishing or hunting license were to
affiliate himself with the Federated
Sportsmen of Pennsylvania? Surely
no Commission members or office
ins, or seekers, could afford to
turn thumbs down on them.
Few people are aware of what
service the Federated Sportsmen
render, and to be conservative in
estimating their worth, it will suf-
fice to say, they are the ones who
analyze the bills that come before
the Legislature, fighting for the
good against the bad.
Recently two bills were enacted.
The first that most any sportsman
would favor was for advancement
of the dog training period from
August 20, to August 1. Many
hunters that I've talked with, feel’
the extra twenty days affords an
opportunity to get better acquaint-
ed with, and train a new dog, also
that a dog that has been chained
for many months has a better
chance to condition itself for the
opening day.
Often times more money is spent
on dogs than on guns, and this
goes on year in and year out.
The second bill enacted and made
a law legalizes semi-automatic
guns. :
How many members of the Legis-
lative body of this Commonwealth
could vote in favor of a law that
will enable the “meat hound” to
achieve his goal is beyond me.
Some one, somehow, pulled many
strings or imported professional
Washington lobbyists to work for
this one. I predict that this law
will be stricken from the books
before many seasons pass.
Yes, in unity there is strength,
and I for one would like to see
every hunter and fisherman become
affiliated with a sportsman’s club
and not have to listen to the
grumbling and myriad ideas about
how to improve hunting and fishing
in our State.

Plays Tomorrow
At Tunkhannock
Dallas Twp. Redskins
And Lehman Scotties
Each Have Home Games
Two Back Mountain elevens, Dal-
las Township and Lehman, have
home games while the third, West-
moreland, is on the road as a full
slate is listed for tomorrow after-
noon. Avoca's powerful Green and
Gold will travel to Lehman, and
Factoryville’s Red Rams will visit
Dallas Township Memorial Field.
Westmoreland will ‘play the Tigers
at Tunkhannock.
Dallas Township
Dallas Township should chalk up
its first victory of the season against
the weak Factoryville eleven. The
Redskins with the potential of a
wining team have not been able
to hit their stride so far. This
may be the game to start the Red
and White on the warpath. A
well rounded backfield and a strong
line give the Redskins a tough-to-
handle outfit that needs only one
spark to set it off. If coach Bob
Thomas can find it he will field
a rough squad for the future op-
ponents.
Lehman
Lehman, on the other hand, in
‘the throes of a disastrous season
can expect little aid from Avoca’s
topnotch eleven. Beset by injuries
and just plain lack of manpower
the Scotties have done a wonderful
job this season after the loss of
almost the entire varsity through
graduation. The Scotties have won
one and lost two games this year,
while Avoca has three victories to
its credit with only one narrow
loss to Wilkes-Barre Township mar-
ring a clean slate.
Westmoreland
Westmoreland should get back
on the victory trail against Tunk-
hannock. The Tigers although
weaker than in previous years still
have a tough outfit but Westmore-
land appears, to have the top team
in the area and should tame the
Tigers with ease. This game will
find Westmoreland eager to prove
its mettle after last week’s ironic
loss to Forty Fort,

York. We know New Yrok City
and Brooklyn, but we always get
lost on the boulevards of Long Is-
land and that is where this baby
that never cries lives.
Our eldest daughter agreed to
lead us to the Tri-Borough Bridge
into Manhattan in her car. We fol-
lowed her through streams of
water four inches deep. Cars to the
right of us, cars to the left of us,
cars in front and cars behind us,
four lanes of them all being driven
as though the drivers had to reach
Manhattan before the bridge fell
down. Just fifty feet in front of the
terminal toll gate our daughter
waved us on. We pulled up in front
of her to learn that she was out
of gas. There we were with all the
cars in the world blowing horns.
In all that din, in the worst part
of a cloudburst, we had to wave
cars around us to clear the second
lane so we could back up and get
behind our daughter's car to push
her off the bridge. We made it
just two seconds before the police
wrecking car arrived. What that
cop at the toll gate said to us we
wouldn't even mention to Chief
Swanson.
We. got home at last and in due
time received a letter from the
mother of this baby that never
cries to learn that this baby hasn’t
cried since.
We've a good mind to go back
and tell that cop something.

Three Back Mountain Teams
Taste Defeat Over Week-End
All three Back Mountain elevens
sampled the bitter taste of defeat
last weekend but the taste was
most bitter in the mouths of the
Westmoreland crew. Forty Fort
left the field at the end of the
tilt victor by a 13-7 score which
but for a few momentary lapses
might have been an overwhelming
victory for Westmoreland. Dallas
Township fought hard against a
tough Wilkes-Barre Township team
and held them even most of the
game before bowing by a 19-7
score. Lehman met Tunkhannock
on Friday but it didn’t make a
great deal of difference as the
Scotties were beaten by the Tunks
20-7.
Westmoreland-Forty Fort
A much heralded Forty Fort
squad came up against Westmore-
land with visions of an easy vic-
tory but these illusions were quick-
ly shattered as the orange and
black led by all round backfield
ace Jack Richards pushed the Fly-
ers from one end of the field to
the other.
A fumble picked up by ansalert
Flyer secondary was converted in-
to a touchdown early in the first
period. Westmoreland then struck
back and scored on a sensational
catch by end Bill Fine on a Rich-
ards aerial.
The pass climaxed a drive featur-
ing the passing of Richards and a
powerful ground attack directed by
Ed Carey aided by Jim Dolhon and
Richards. Forty Fort again went
into the lead in the second period
intercepting a Westmoreland pass
and going all the way for the score.
The Flyers missed the extra point
and went back on the offensive.
The half ended with Westmore-
land on the Forty Fort four-yard
line with a first down.
The third quarter found Forty
Fort thoroughly aroused and only
alert and tough defensive work
held the Flyers off. The last quar-
ter found Westmoreland driving
desperately to tie the score but
the game ended with the orange
and black again only a few yards
away from the scoring zone.
Outstanding defensive player on
the field was center Glenn Carey,
while the top performer for either
side was dynamic Jack Richards
who played top notch ball from
start to finish.
Redskins-W.-B. Township
Wilkes-Barre Township was mo-
mentarily stumped by the Dallas
Township eleven but soon asserted
itself to garner a two touchdown
victory. Wingback Bob Bellas
powered the lone Redskin touch-
down drive with fleet halfback Roy
Tryon keeping the Maroon and
Grey of Wilkes-Barre Township
grabbing at air most of the time.
Superior manpower soon made
itself evident and the Redskins
were little match for the larger
visitors. Tryon turned in some
long jaunts but the Redskins could
not click for the yardage when they
needed it the most—inside the WB
Township thirty-yard line. Dallas
Township faced an accurate bar-
rage of passes thrown by Leo
Dwojeski.

Westmoreland Juniors
Active In Club Work
Members of the Junior Class at
Westmoreland School are taking
an active part in club work,
those extra-curricular organiza-
tions which enable a student to
develop skills and interests not
covered by the formal course of
study.
Ray Harleman says that mem-
bers of the Fishing Club will make
their own artificial flies, plugs, and
will learn to construct sectional
bamboo fishing poles. Ray has
fished for trout and bass in all
local streams and lakes.
Kenneth Inmén says that the
club hopes to practice fly and plug
casting. Kenneth caught a 6 and
one-half pound bass, 24 inches in
length, at North Lake last year.
He had the fish mounted to show
the Fishing Club that one member
earned his rights and is entitled
to advanced standing.
The Dramatics Club, says Gail
has sent for books
on dramatics and plans to try out
the lighter type of play first and
more difficult productions later.
William Dettmore says that he
is interested in one-act plays that
have some humor in them. He
hopes that the club can provide
one-act plays for the high school
assemblies. This club is also mak-
