He s Ninety-Six ~ Years Young Steven Wolfe Enjoys ~ Companions and Pets Depending upon which end of ty ih telescope you are looking into, Steven Wolfe is ninety years older ‘than his constant companion Da- vid Cooke, or David is ninety years . . “a first name basis, - ions, younger than Steven. They are on with David blasting away to overcome advan- cing deafness in Steven, and Ste- ven leaning an attentive ear to Da- vid’s conversation and stories, There are some other compan- too, shared by both the friends. Baldy, a large black and ‘white cat, is allowed in the kit- Know Your Neighbor STEVEN WOLFE chen, but does not venture fur- ther into the house unless person- ally escorted. Sheppy, a collie of indeterminate ancestry, is on the same basis. Steven Wolfe ninety-sixth birthday celebrated his at New Years. In former years there was a big open-house, but this year the celebration was quiet and stretched over several days to make it less strain. He was still receiving cards and remembrances a week after New Years, with several flaming poinsettias dotted about the sit- ting room where Mr. Wolfe sat at the old fashioned desk. The fat gold watch which lay on the desk in front of him doesn’t run any more, but Mr. Wolfe says if he could just see a little better he could fix it. It dates from his California days when as a young man he felt the lure of the gold rush, a large and elaborate Wal- tham model in a hunting case. They don’t make watches like that nowadays, Mr. Wolfe said regret- fully. - Mr. Wolfe onght to know. When he was a young man he learned the watch repair business in Philadelphia, and has retained some of his equipment. - Stacked in a large closet there are dozens of red velvet lined shallow trays, used by jewellers for keeping choice bits unscratched and un- scattered. He has drawers full of tiny tweezers and odd parts used in the clock and watch repair busi- ness, with some keys for winding large kitchen clocks. There was a time when he fixed up the watches and clocks for the friends and neighbors in the evenings after work. ~ At the Christmas party given by members of the Lehman Lodge, 100F, at the 100F Hall, December 12, a seventy-year jewel was pre- sented to Mr, Wolfe. Lodge offi- cials think that he is probably the oldest living member of the or- ganization in Pennsylvania, with the longest record of membership. ~ The seventy-year jewel does not give an accurate picture, as actual membership is verging on seventy- three years. Mr. Wolfe was born i in Meeker, son of William and Nancy Wolfe, on a farm across the fields from ‘the present home of the Lehman Meeker Road, four years before the start of the Civil War. Married when twenty seven to Fally Bronson, of Loyalville, he Forty-two members and guests attended the regular monthly meeting of the Dallas Junior Woman’s Club held on Tuesday evening at the Library Annex. Mrs. Alva Eggleston presided. Plans were discussed for a tea and reading to be held on Feb- ruary 14 at the Library Annex with Mrs. Elizabeth Conrad as reader. Mrs. Robert Moore and Mrs. Ralph Garirs are co-chair- men of this affair with Mrs, Harry Peiffer as refreshments chairman and Mrs. William Hanna as pub- licity chairman.

Mar- gellina, Mrs. John Richards, Miss Mary Bennalleck and Mrs. William Hanna. Mrs. Charles Mahler announced that preventative shots will be given again at the Shavertown Baby Clinic next month and again in the spring. She reported a good attendance of mothers and babies at the clinic. There will be two more sewing classes taught by Mrs. Ruth Dar- bie for members of the “Junior Woman’s Club who are interested. The first of these classes will be on January 25. Mrs. Harold Elston reported a good response to the appeal for used stamps for veterans and urged that members of the club continue to support this project. A card party for the! benefit of the Senior Girl Scout Troop will be held on January 17 by mem- bers of the troop committee. Mrs. Robert Fleming, committee chair- man, announced that the party will be held at the Library Annex at 8 PM. It will be open to anyone who wishes to attend. Mrs. Willard Seymour is chairman of the card party. Following the business meeting an auction sale was held of various articles donated by the members. Mrs. Harold Elston and Mrs, Sam Margellina were auctioneers and realized about $23.00 from their efforts. Articles ranged from cookie jars and teapots to hand- made mittens and baby bibs. Those present: Mesdames Gerald Noxen Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Cuddy of Olean, N. Y., announce the birth of a baby girl. This makes Kenneth Cuddy a grandpa and Mr. and Mrs. William Cuddy grandparents. All say they don’t feel any older.

A carpenter by trade, he was employed by the Patterson Com- pany in Pittston, and later by Da- vis Brothers in Forty Fort, where he worked until retirement at se- venty. There were three children, one of whom, Esther, a teacher in the Lehman Schools, died in 1937. Walter farms the home acres, and Miss Letha Wolfe keeps house. Mrs. Walter Wolfe is alre- gistered nurse. Steven Wolfe isn’t as active as he used to be, but he still gets around ‘with the aid of a cane that is as gnarled as his hands. He was pretty sick two days before his birthday, but he is resilient. And he has the sweetest smile you ever saw. We hope he will still be using it when he passes the century mark in 1956. C.

Dallas Over Top With Record | Blood Donation of 120 on Wednesday | aod Donor Day in Dallas made headlines + Wednesday with its largest donation, one hundred and twenty. Former donation days have netted the bank about eighty- six points at maximum, a figure reached last time the Bloodmobile was stationed here. As on former blood donor days, Natona Mills and Paul Gross’ Coal- O-Matic plant sent large repre- sentations, both on company time. Fernbrook plant of = Bloomsburg Mill will have its own donation day, with the Bloodmobile station- ed at the plant. The complexion of the day has imperceptibly changed. More young folks were noted sitting on, the benches, each with card in hand, waiting for the call to the inner room. Heretofore, middle-aged donors have predom- inated, with a leaning toward those on the dividing line be- tween an age acceptable for dona- tion and one which closes the door to further blood giving. Two youngsters, below the age for donations, were not permitted to give, and one more reject was noted, on grounds of having a slight temperature, There were the usual repeaters, husbands and wives who always come together. A number of folks were making their first donation. Nobody passed out, though one or two felt a bit groggy when they first got to their feet. Sitting down at the table for a sandwich and a cup of coffee took care of that. To the question, you give this donation?” answers were illuminating. “I have a son in the service. Maybe he will have to go to Korea.” Or two sons. Or three. “My son was wounded during the war.” “My husband is overseas.” “There are lots of boys who might need blood.” “My daughter usually gives blood, but she has just had a baby. So I am giving it in her place.” “My husband gave it last time, and he said it was nothing at all, didn’t make feel weak or any- didn’t make him feel weak or any- “What made the PAGE SEVEN I'll be back.” Good citizens, all of them. 20 CHECKS $2.00 YOUR NAME PRINTED ON EACH CHECK *NO REQUIRED BALANCE +NO CHARGE FOR DEPOSITS OPEN YOUR ACCOUNT WITH ANY AMOUNT AT ANY TELLERS WINDOW IN mn WYOMING ZrnAL BANK 114% YEARS OF BANKING SUCCESS AT Corner Market & Franklin Streets ber Fed.
