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

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

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

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.

say they don’t feel any older.
Warren Beahm, Harold Bennett,
Sherman Webb and Joseph French
are working in Pittston in a ma-
chine shop. 2
Mrs, William Kropp of Athens
spent several days with her sister,
Mrs. Earl Beahm recently.

Mrs, Cleona Fritz is collecting
dimes for Polish victims. If you
cannot get in touch with her, drop
your money in an envelope and
give it to the mailman.
, Edward Keller,
lived there ever since.
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.

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-
