breaking and entering, holding that
meat was better for Junior than a
lollipop.
Mothers realize that meat is bet-
ter for Junior than lollipops. They
realize that it is better for adults,
the roast, no amdéunt oi necessary
protein in Junior's little insides is
going to compensate father for be-
ing confronted with a brace of
poached eggs on toast for dinner.
Home-makers conclude that who-
ever wrote that bit of advertising
was either a millionaire to whom a
leg of lamb was small potatoes, or
he owned no children. The alterna-
tive was that he was a vegetarian
or has stomach ulcers that preclud-
ed roast lamb.
Time was when home-makers
lined up at the meat counter and
moaned that somebody didn’t in-
vent another kind of animal. The
family was tired of roast beef and
steak and roast lamb and veal cut-
lets, and as for pork chops—‘Well
you know Henry. He just can’t a-
bide pork chops.”
With an eye on the weekly bud-
get these days, most home-makers
bear down heavily on the hamburg
and the roast is strictly for Sunday.
And heaven help Junior if he ev-
en goes near the ice-box door, much
less gorges himself on the remains
intended for Monday night's dinner
and Tuesday night's pot-pie.

Charles W. Lee
Will Be Buried

Helped Organize
Prince of Peace Churth
And Back Mt. Library
Largely attended funeral services
were held yesterday morning at 11
from Prince of Peace Church for
Charles Wheaton Lee, vice presi-
dent and general manager of H. A.
Whiteman & 'Co., Wilkes-Barre pa-
per merchants.
Business associates, churchmen,
members of Back Mountain Memo-
rial Library Association, Masons,
Shriners and neighbors were among
those who filled the church where
Mr. Lee during recent years had
devoted much of his energies to the
organization. of the parish and con-
struction of the new church. He
was senior warden at the time of
his death.
Mr. Lee's passing Monday after-
noon at 2:50 at Nesbitt Memorial
Hospital where he had been a pa-
tient since September 18, though
not unexpected, caused a profound
feeling of sorrow throughout the
community where for the past
twenty years he and his wife had
taken a leading part in community
life.
Born in Norwalk, Ohio, on May
10, 1889, a son of the late John
E. and Dora Wheaton Lee, he had
made his home in the Wyoming
Valley area for twenty-seven years,
coming to Wilkes-Barre from Bal-
timore to establish a branch outlet
for Barton, Duer & Koch, distribu-
tors of fine papers for the printing
trade. When his firm decided after
two years to withdraw from the lo-
cal field, Mr. Lee established the
fine paper department for H. A.
Whiteman & Co., which was then
handling only coarse papers.
His relationship with the White-
man firm continued for twenty-five
years. After the death of Harry
Whiteman he became vice president
and general manager of the firm
and was active in that capacity un-
til mid-summer when he underwent
serious brain surgery on July 20 at
Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadel-
phia.
For a time he rallied from the
operation and was able to be about
his home on Country Club Road,
Dallas, but his condition grew
steadily worse and two weeks ago
he entered Nesbitt Memorial Hos-
pital where death came mercifully
Monday afternoon.
Charlie, as he was known to
hundreds of printers, business asso-
ciates and friends throughout the
area, was one of the prime found-
ers of two Back Mountain institu-
tions which will long remember his
zeal and co-operative spirit, Prince
of Peace Episcopal Church and
Back Mountain Memorial Library.
He was a past president of Dallas
Rotary Club and one of the organ-
izers of Back Mountain Kennel
Club. He was a member of Mt.
Vernon Lodge 151, F & AM, Balti-
more; Lafayette Chapter 5, Royal
Arch. Masons and Columbia Com-
mandery 2, both of Washington,
D. C.; and Irem Temple.
He was active in the affairs of
Irem Temple Country Club, serving
on many club and golf committees.
He was a veteran of World War I
having served in the Army Medical
Corps.
Besides his wife, the former
Grace C. Robbins of Minnesota, he
leaves two brothers, Robert E. Lee,
Pittsburgh, and Lawrence H. Lee,
Alexandria, Va., also several nieces
and nephews.
The funeral services were in
charge of Rev. William McClelland,
pastor of Prince of Peace, assisted
by Rev. William Williams, Roches-
ter, first pastor of the parish.
Interment will be in the Na-
tional Cemetery at Arlington, Va.,
this morning at 11.
" Immediately after the local®serv-
ice the funeral cortege left for Vir-
ginia accompanied by Mrs. Lee;

burgh; Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Lee
Jr., and sons, Robert E. and James
S. of Gibsonia, Pa.; Mr: and Mrs.
Charles L. Burchfield of Morton,

Commonwealth
Appointment of Herbert H. But-
ler as executive vice-president and
general manager of the Common-
wealth Telephone Company effective
October 1 was announced today by
Andrew J. Sordoni, Sr., Chairman
of the Board. ’
For the past three years, Mr. But-
ler has been President of the Illi-
nois Telephone Company with offi-
ces in Bloomington, Illinois. Four
years prior to this he was Assistant
General Manager and Manager of
the same Company.
During World War II, he served
as staff officer from 1941 to 1942
with the 29th Division Field Artil-
lery. In 1942 he was transferred to
the Office of the Chief Signal Offi-
cer, Military Personnel Branch.
Through subsequent promotions, he
was advanced to the rank of Colonel
Branch handling the “operciions of
the Signal Corp military personnel
Colonel Butler, as he is best
known, began his telephone career
with The Bell System upon gradua-
tion from Washington & Lee Uni-
versity with the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Company of Balti-
more City, Maryland. Prior to 1935,
he was staff assistant to the Com-
mercial Superintendent, toll and
teletype salesman and assistant
manager of the Baltimore Office.
From 1935 to 1939 he was local
manager of the Baltimore office, and
from 1939 until entering army serv-
ice, served as district commercial
supervisor for the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Company in
Maryland.
In announcing Colonel Butler's
appointment, Senator Sordoni sta-
ted, “Since World War II, Com-
monwealth has been engaged in an
extensive program of plant improve-
ments, dial conversions and exten-
sions. This year alone we will have
completed the conversion of nine
of our exchanges to dial service. At
the year’s end, 41 of Common-
wealth’s 45 exehanges will provide
automatic service. It is our inten-
tion to provide telephone service
second to none and a man of Col-
onel Butler's administrative expari-
ence will be invaluable in coordin-
ating and accomplishing such a dir-
ective.”
A. 0. Perry, who has served as
Commonwealth’s Vice-President and
General Manager the past year and
has provided invaluable engineering
and administrative direction to the
Company’s expansion program, is
returning to the Kellogg Switch-
board & Supply Company of Chi-
cago from which he has been on a
leave of absence. Mr. Perry will re-
turn to the Kellogg Company which
he serves as Staff Engineer. ;
“Mr. Perry,” Senator Sordoni
stated, “has been of inestimable as-
sistance in advancing the Common-
wealth Telephone Comnany’s pro-
gressive program. We wish him ev-
ery success in his decision to return
to the highly specialized field of
telephone engineering in which he
has been associated many years."
