In the opening game of the 1954-
55 Back Mountain Church Basket-
ball League St. Therese’s young
team takes on a much more ex-
The
Saints who are out to atone for last
year’s shellacking in the first game
face a rugged task in trying to hold
The Saints will be out to make a
good showing after their dismal
4-10 record of last year. John Baur,
Frank Pavlick, and John Monka are
expected to bolster the team along
with seven men returning from last
year’s squad.
Huntsville, always a strong con-
tender when not the champs, have
acquired former St. Therese play-
maker Neil Kocher to strengthen
their team along with last year’s
players.
Trucksville vs. Dallas
Last season’s play-off champs,
Trucksville will take on Dallas in
the second game.
Once again former Westmoreland
High School stars Bernie Sherin
and “Shaun” Richards will spear-
head the attack for the Hilltoppers.
Newcomers to the team are Dave
Carins, Bob Guyette and Bob Rich-
ards who is awaiting his military
discharge from the Army.
Dallas also has a player awaiting
discharge from the Army, Lowell
Roberts, a good playmaker and
scorer who will strengthen the
Dallas attack.
Shavertown vs. Carverton
Shavertown, last year’s straight
season champs will take on what
is expected to be a much improved
Carverton five in the third game.
The Shavers will be trying to de-
fend their crown with Carey, Davis,
Oney and company. Shavertown’s
roster will have plenty of reserve
strength with the addition of Bob
Bolton, Ken Smith and another ser-
vice returnee Albert Hawke.
Carverton, last season’s cellar-
dweller is expected to cause plenty
of trouble this year. This is only
its second season in the Church
league. With Mike Lewis and
“Dynamite” Harris back with a few
others from last year’s team, Car-
verton has added Carl Dymond,
Vance Walker and Harvilla to the
roster.
Alderson vs. East Dallas
The last game of the evening
brings together Alderson and East
Dallas, both known as “spoilers” of
the league. These two teams seem
to upset the applecart when they
meet the top teams of the league
at crucial times.
An aggressive Alderson team will
be led again by former Lake-Noxen
High School star Dick Searfoss.
Players from Loyalville Methodist
will play with Alderson.
East Dallas, another team with
plenty of zip at times will once
again have “Tex” Wilson along with
most of last year’s players.
Luck and success to all teams.

weighing 140 pounds.
Robert Belles, supervising prin-
cipal of Lake-Noxen schools, got a
small three-pointer on South Moun-
tain. Successful among members
of a large party based in a sports-
men’s cabin were four other hunt-
ers, Howard Shook, Fred Cool, Paul
Space, and Roy Newell, all of
Noxen.
In one case at least, a deer asked
to be killed, leaping out in front
of Andy Denmon’s car while he
was on his way home from hunting
on Monday at dusk. It smashed a
headlight, and went bounding oc
into the woods at Red Rock, prob-
ably not seriously hurt.
Duke Isaacs has a sure-fire recipe
for getting a deer. Draw the short
straw at the hunting cabin on North
Mountain, get stuck with the job
of cooking, start opening a can of
beans, step out back for a moment,
and find a spike buck peering from
behind the shrubbery. Duke blast-
ed it, the only one in his party of
four to. be. successful on opening
day. Losers were Willard" John,
Rill Jeter and Warren Unger.
Eight Beaumont men were suc-
cessful on Monday: Albert Patton,
Richard Mock, Eldridge Wright,
Lawrence (Crispell, Lester Crispell,
Herbert Mock, Russell Price, Wil-
liam Mock and Robert Dymond.
Wilsons Keep Record
In East Dallas, honors again go
to the Wilson family. Tex got an
eight pointer, Ted a seven pointer,
both big and fat. Ted has been
hunting thirty years, his son Tex
for nine, and both father and son
have never failed to make their kill.
Fred Shoop, hunting in a party
with Doc Rutherford, Don Hughes,
and Vern Groff at Mountain Springs,
got an eight point buck at 11 a. m.
Fred Michael, Jr., Elizabeth
Street, hunting with a large party
including his father, Edward Hopa,
Anthony and Joe Hudak, Andrew
Stash, Edward Estock, and Fred
Dodson, got a 140-pound buck, six
points, at Mountain Springs. In
the same party, Manual Stiver was
successful. ?
* Bob Hislop, Jr., a‘ student home
from State University for the open-
ing day, learned about life the hard
way. He shot a deer while hunting
near the Hislop camp at Lovelton,
trailed it over a ridge and down a
hill, only to find a hunter from an-
other party tagging it as his own.
Bob, Sr., and Murphy Hislop, Steve
Sedler, Percy Waggell, Billy Dierolf,
Pete Roushey, Jack Sheehan were
in the party. Jack got his deer
Monday, 8 a. m.
Harry Post, Trucksville, lets his
deer run up to him. Stationed
with his rifle resting comfortably
on a tree stump of the correct
height, Harry drew a bead on a
160-pound five-point buck at 9 a.
b., held his breath until it was well
within range, and blasted it, the
only one in his party hunting on
the mountain back of Root Hollow
to be successful. Harry brought it
down the logging trail on a Model
T Ford owned by Kenny Moules of
Wilkes-Barre, one of the six print-
ers making up the party.
Donald Kocher reports a six-
pointer shot at Red Rock. Glenn
back of Harveys Lake.
Walter Bronson got a six-pointer
at Ruggles.
The list is nowhere nearly com-
plete. More names keep coming
into the office all the time.

. Persis was sitting on the floor
surrounded by the evidence, and
cursing expertly under her breath.
“It’s the first time he’s ever done
it,” she announced, but without
conviction.
“Don’t give me that line of tripe,”
I countered, “I've seen dogs before
and cleaned up after them too.
Gimme that rag.”
We coped with the situation.
Pinky glared through the kitchen
window, and if there’d been a little
balloon thing coming out of her
mouth, as in the funny papers, it
would have said in large capitals,
“If I'd done that, I'd have had my
nose rubbed in it and been booted
out the door.”
And that’s the way Thanksgiving
started at our house. Continued
in our next installment.

so. It's good news and every-
body is interested.

Charles W. Reed
Retires Nov. 30
Been With Transit
Company 40 Years
Charles W. Reed, Shavertown,
made his last run on a Wilkes-Barre
Transit Company trackless trolley
on Tuesday, retiring after forty
years of service, fourteen of them
on the Dallas-Harveys Lake line.
More familiarly known to passen-
gers as Charlie, he had not served
the local bus line for some time,
being assigned to the West Pittston
run.
Each morning Charlie rose at
3:20, and made the 4 a. m. Dallas
bus into Wilkes-Barre, getting
home again by 1:30. He says it
will be a real treat not to get up
so early in the morning.
'To Mr. Reed went the honor,
April 30, 1939, of making the last
run on the last street car serving
the Dallas area before the tracks
were abandoned and the switch
made to buses.
He has been a resident of Shav-
ertown for twenty-seven years. His
son, Warren, is manager of the
newly opened ‘State Liquor Store in
Dallas. His wife is the former
Lillie Hahns, of Wilkes-Barre. There
are two grandchildren, Carol and
Janet Reed.
Mr. Reed was born in Easton.
Ever since boyhood he has been an
ardent baseball fan. With no plans
for the retirement years, he thinks
he could be persuaded to become
interested in the Little League.
