Cost of Living Lower
The Government reported this
week that the cost of living again
dropped slightly in March, but an
official said price declines did not
mean a depression was in the offing.
The consumer price index put the
decline at one-half of one per cent
below last October’s record high.
It was the fourth decline since Oc-
tober.

Sutton Says Mud Yields
To Dust Over In Korea
Mrs. Lawrence Sutton, Kunkle,
receives three or four letters a week
from her son, Lawrence, stationed
with a radio outfit in the [Seoul area,

Youth Career
Day Attracts
338 Students
Speakers Advise
What To Seek In
Choosing Career
Fourth Back Mountain Career Day
was held at Wilkes-Barre YMCA on
ing. Schools represented were Dal-
las-Franklin, Lake-Noxen and West-
Rev. Jule Ayers, pastor of First
Presbyterian Church, Wilkes-Barre,
was the guest speaker. He spoke on
“My Career.” Rev. Ayers gave the
students three points to take into
consideration when deciding upon
a career: (1) get to know your=
self (2) be yourself (3) get along
with other people. He urged the
students to seek to find God's Will
for their life. He concluded his talk
by emphasizing that no matter what
career one pursues, he will be a
blessing to his fellowmen, if he com-
bines the kind of person he is and
his abilities with the needs of the
world.
The summary of the Career Day
program was given by Eugene Teter,
Superintendent of Luzerne County
Schools, on the subject “Lets Talk
About Tomorrow.” The question he
asked the students was ‘“What are
you going to do about what you
heard in the various career confer-
ences you've had during the day?”
He sighted the example of a cham-
pion in any field, giving these four
points which make for success: (1)
a champion uses that which he has
(2) a champion trains and keeps
fit, (3) a champion always does his
level best, (4) a champion never
gives up. »
Between the main address and the
summary, students attended two
separate sessions during which time
they were privileged to hear an ex-
pert present and discuss questions
in a chosen field. Vocations pre-
sented during these two - periods
were: Secretary, stenographer, typ-
ist, receptionist, bookkeeping, ac-
countant, dramatics, mechanical en-
gineer, farming, social work, electri-
cal engineering, radio announcer
and repairmen, machine trade, tool
designer, mechanics, forestry and
game warden, modeling, dressmak-
ing, actress, beautician, music, nurs-
ing, air pilot, air hostess, telephone
operator, (police service and FBI,
teacher, women and men armed ser-
vices, aviation mechanics, commer-
cial artist, interior decorating, jour-
nalism, minister, YW and YMCA
secretary.
J. H. Williams, executive secre-
tary of the Back Mountain Town
and Country YMCA, opened the gen-
eral assembly session of the Career
Day program. This program for the
students of the Back Mountain area
schools is sponsored jointly by the
Dallas Kiwanis Club and the Back
Mountain YMCA.
C. E. Beerweiler, president 'of the
Wilkes-Barre YMCAs welcomed the
students and R. E. Neal, president
of the Dallas Kiwanis Club and a
director of the Back Mountain
YMCA, gave brief remarks.
The invocation was given by Miss
Eunice Traver, chaplain of Lake-
Noxen Tri Hi-Y Club, and the bene-
diction by Richard Hislop, chaplain
of the Dallas-Franklin Hi-Y Club.

National Honor
(Continued from Page 1)
Times and waters will not wear
away our abiding memories of his
sustained kindness. He has senved

ral of (Civilization. He stands tall

tion, Bill of Rights, and Declaration

ed that Mr. Templin’s name will be

ative work in education. Mr. Tem-
plin gave a most touching response
in recognition of the honor bestowed
on him.

French anthem.
Dr. Harold C. Buckman, district
superintendent of Wyoming Valley

Ruth E. Nichols
Dies At General
Funeral Services
Tomorrow At 2
Mrs. Ruth Ellsworth Nichols, 63,
passed away. at General Hospital
yesterday morning at 8, conscious
to the last, but mercifully released
from pain. Admitted hopelessly ill
on Easter Monday, Mrs. Nichols had
her five children with her almost
constantly. Her husband, G. Wil-
bur Nichols, was with her when she
died.

dren and her eight grandchildren,
always on call to take over a daugh-
ter's or son's home when a baby
was expected, the true focus of fam-
ily life. She had been ill since De-
cember, but retained her cheerful-
ness and sense of proportion, her
first thought for her family. Stricken
with Leukemia, she had become in-
creasingly wracked by pain during
the last weeks of her life, with
transfusions helping to ameliorate
the inexorable progress of the dis-
ense, and affording relief during the
last hours.

Forty Fort, daughter of ‘the late
Leonard W. and Carrie Kunkle Ells-
worth. Thirty-three years ago she
and her husband moved with their
children to Trucksville.- Mrs. Nichols
belonged to Service Mothers Club
of Trucksville during the war years.

G. Wilbur Nichols, elevated the day
before her death, to the position of
Comptroller. of Glen Alden Coal
Company; five children: Sheldon,
Corning, N. Y.; Mrs. Marjorie Hall,
Pittsfield, Mass.; Mrs. Josephine Be-
secker, Hyattsville, Md.; George W.,
Jr., and Frederick Allen, both of
Trucksville.
Free enterprise is a natural resul
of the American form of govern-
ment, which says in so many words
that the more men do for them-
selves, and the [less government
does for them, the better off we all
will be.—Felix Morley.
