words, the family is coming
home for Thanksgiving, such
at that.
She is going to sit in the middle
of a solid row of children, grand-
children and great grandchildren,
and Jimmie Kozemchak is going to
take a picture of her with one of
her God-children on her lap. *
The sleeping arrangements are
all figured out, by dint of mentally
shifting one set of infants to an-
other room, and having a reshuffle
all the way along the line. The
dormitory has been rearranged. If
some infant falls off the top bunk,
he can do himself no damage,
though he may temporarily smoth-
er the infant in the trundle bed
beneath. There will not be enough
bare floor to break an arm or a
leg. Exit from the boys’ dormitory
will be strictly by hop-skip-and-
jump or leapfrogging the bunks.
Grandma is the only guest who
will get a room strictly to herself,
but it won’t last beyond daylight.
Grandma is immensely popular with
the small fry, who go leaping into
Rabbit and the Tar Baby, Little
Black Sambo and Epaminondas.
That's why Grandma rates the bed
with the strongest springs and the
sturdiest slats.
. At a conservative estimate it is
going to take three medium sized
turkeys, to insure an adequate sup-
ply of drumsticks. In the case of a
turkey, if the victim doesn’t see
the knife applied to trim up a
wing, the shaft makes a very ac-
ceptable drumstick, just as tooth-
some as the genuine article and
much easier to chew. If I call it a
drumstick, it’s a drumstick. See?
It looks like a bushel of potatoes,
and certainly three gallons of apple-
sauce. An acre of hot biscuits will
be about right, and a caldron of
Gravy. We'll leave out the turnips
on plenty of stuffing.
Pumpkin pie, naturally,
doubtless a keg of cookies.
The accent will be on plain and
filling food. They can all add the
frills when they go home again.
It’s an odd thing about men. The
less they have to do over a holi-
day, the more they need susten-
ance, There are always at least
three of them in the kitchen, open-
ing the oven to get a whiff of the
turkey, and in constant need of
just one more cup of coffee to keep
body and soul together until dinner
is served.
Looks like a good Thanksgiving.

Teter, Luzerne County Superinten-
dent of Schools, Wesley Davies, as-
the day in Harrisburg.
Conference with L. H. Snady,
School Building Division, Depart-
ment of Education, cleared the way
for setting plans in motion. A pre-
liminary sketch executed by Robert
Eyerman was inspected and ap-
proved. He will draw up a tenta-
tive plan for further approval,
which when approved will open
the field for bids on erection.
If no complications develop, Mr.
Kuhnert hopes that ground can be
broken in ‘March, with expectation
that the addition will be ready for
use in September.
No basement is contemplated.
The addition as planned is one-
story, with concrete mat founda-
tion. A classroom will be reserved
for agriculture, with three extra
classrooms designed to take the
pressure off the present high school
facilities, leaving room for expan-
sion of the grade school. A section
of the cafeteria had to be taken
for classroom use this year.
The structure will cost under
$60,000.
Man Is Found
Dead In Auto
Wandall Died Of
Natural Causes
A Ross Township man, Orvil
Wandall, about 45, was found dead
yesterday morning seated in the
front of his automobile at the foot
of Trumbower Hill near Green Val-
ley School at Mooretown.
Discovery was made by Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Sorber of Outlet, who
noted Wandall’s blue appearance as
they drove past his parked car and
thought he might be having a heart
attack.
They called to Dana Lord, road
supervisor, and the three on inves-
tigation found the man had appar-
ently been dead for several hours.
Mrs. Sorber then went to a neigh-
bor’s and notified Harveys Lake Po-
lice who summoned Dr. Harry Brown
of Lehman.
In the meantime the neighbor
mentioned the incident to several
others living nearby who walked
down the road to investigate. Among
them was Mrs. John Edwards of
Mooretown who identified the dead
man as her son by a previous mar-
riage.
Dr. Brown said death had prob-
ably taken place Wednesday night
of natural causes. From the loca-
tion of the car it appeared he had
tried to make Trumbower Hill and
then allowed the car to drift back
several feet to the side road.
The body was removed to Bron-
son's Funeral Home at Sweet
Valley.

To See Struggle
A 140 pound three-point buck,
wounded by a stray shot out of
deer season, floundered into Hunts-
ville Reservoir Saturday noon,
swam febly across the deep ex-
panse near the dam until it reached
shallow water and died on the
bank. Mr. and Mrs. Hanford Eck-
man, driving to town, noted motor-
ists pulled up along the Huntsville-
Dallas road, stopped to see what
was going on, and saw the buck

Missing Girl
Home Again
Community Is
Much Relieved
Carolyn Davis is home again in
Trucksville, greatly relieving the
community mind as well as that of
her immediate family. She and her
mother, Mrs. Alice Davis, Grove
Street, landed at Avoca airport Fri-
day morning at 8, after an unevent-
ful trip from Miami.
‘Carolyn, 14, disappointed in her
dream of joining the WAC, will take
up her education again in February,
having missed a large part of the
first semester at Wyoming Semi-
nary.
Mrs. Davis flew to Miami Novem-
ber 8 to make contact with her
daughter at the YWCA, where she
had been staying since arrival from
Newark, where she earned money
enough as a waitress to make the
Florida trip. She had been missing
since August 15, but it had been
established that she left home in
order to take a job. In spite of the
conviction that foul play did not
enter into the picture, Township
and State Police bent every effort
toward locating her.

Harveyville Girl Shot
In Freak Accident
A sixteen-year old Harveyyville
girl was seriously injured Thursday
afternoon when a .22 calibre bullet
penetrated her left shoulder. Doro-
thy Alice Farver, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. P. Farver, tiptoed to
reach a magazine on a closet shelf,
knocked over the loaded rifle, and
was shot when the rifle touched the
floor. She was admitted to Nanti-
coke State Hospital.
Mrs. William F. Cairl observed
her eighty-sixth birthday quietly on
Tuesday at her home on Woodlawn
Drive. Friends remembered her with
cards and gifts, but out of defer-
ence to her husband’s memory,
there was no party. Mr. Cairl
passed away June 10 of a long
standing heart ailment. Mrs. Cairl’s
activities are somewhat -circum-
scribed of late, but she keeps up
with her sewing and crocheting,
turning out delightful little sewing
kits and decorated coat hangers,
snugly fitting ascots to wear with
tailored suits and coats, and ‘a
variety of other little knicknacks for
which she finds a ready sale.
Among the birthday cards was
one showing a lovely red Japanese
lantern, mailed from Japan by her
grandson, Lt. Clayton L. Cairl.
Mrs. Cairl is the last of her branch
of the Wesley family. Born in
Mooretown, she is the daughter of
the late Daniel and Lucinda Wes-
ley. Her grandfather was second
cousin to the famous founder of
Methodism, John ‘Wesley. A soldier
in the War of Eighteen-Twelve, he
is buried in Sweet Valley. Mrs. Cairl
has four children, five grandchii-
dren and seven great grandchildren,
all living. Florence lives in Phila-
delphia, Viola and William in Dallas,
Ear] in Broomal.
Many happy returns of the day
to a lovely lady, whose blue eyes
and peach-blow skin are as beau-
tiful as ever, with radiance of char-
acter shining through.
Buy Ambulance
Or Have Wreck
Reconditioned?
Dallas Ambulance
Board Must Make
Quick Decision
Is the Dallas Community Am-
bulance worth salvaging after Sat-
urday’s early morning wreck, or
would it be more sensible to apply
the insurance to another good used
ambulance ? 3
That was the burning question at
Sunday afternoon’s board meeting
in the Dallas Borough Building.
Board members who had argued
the matter of a heavy duty gen-
erator as opposed to an alternating
system at Friday night's meeting,
found themselves without an am-
bulance to house either one or the
other.
Ken Baylis, reporting his findings
after wreckage had been inspected
estimated. the cost of reconditioning
it at approximately $2,700, perhaps
slightly less. IF a steel turret top
should happen to be available at
the Superior Body Works. It was
the turret top which prevented
death of the patient, Mrs. Joseph
Jewell; her immediate attendant,
Norti Berti; and the three men of
the crew in the front seat; Law-
rence Delet-Kanie, driver; Leslie
Barstow and Raymond Titus. :
Delet-Kanic came to a stop on
Union Street before crossing the
double railroad tracks, to avoid
swaying the ambulance and dis-
turbing Mrs. Jewell, who was suf-
fering from a severe hemorrhage
from the nose. Crossing the tracks,
Larry noted that the light at Mer-
cer Avenue intersection had turned
from red to green, giving him the
right of way. As he went through
the interesection with siren sound-
ing, a passenger car driven by Dur-
land Edwards of Swoyerville shot
out of Mercer Avenue going north,
and crashed into the rear quarter
of the ambulance. :
The ambulance rolled over four
times, throwing out the patient as
it came to rest on its side. Berti,
on the head, opened his eyes to
find himself looking at what he
took to be bars, the metal slatting
treated for shock at General Hos-
pital. Mr. Jewell, following the am-
bulance, made the rest of the run
to the hospital. Titus was treated
for bruises at Nesbitt. Harry Brown
and Charles Flack were called from
Dallas to guard the wreck.
Columbian Hose Company exting-
uished gasoline flames,
from the street the spilled gasoline.
the crash except the principals in-
volved, - but residents on Union
Street who had not yet gone to
the crash, and one witness reached
the window in time to see the
ambulance completing its roll.
Comparative cost of repairing the
ambulance, and cost of a replace-
Cadillac ambulance can be procured
for $3,100, through the same com-
pany which furnished the original.
At least a two-months delay may
be expected if the ambulance is to
be repaired, while another one could
be procured within a matter of a
week or two.
Kingston Township, Lehman, and
Lake ambulance associations will
supply ambulance service during
the interim. Dallas crews will assist,
to lighten the load.
The next meeting, to discuss
findings of the investigation, and to
decide on appropriate action, will
be held at the call of the president.
Present at Sunday afternoon’s
meeting were Norti Berti, Alvin
Shaffer, Ray Titus, Elmer Williams,
Robert W. Laux, Howard Johns,
Harry Brown, Mr. and Mrs. William
Wright, Russell Honeywell, Mar-
garet Roberts, Jennie Newman,
Robert Fleming, Ken Bayliss, Billy
Berti, Lawrence Delet-Kanic, Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Flack, Don Evans,
Mrs. T. M. B. Hicks.
