Firemen Hope
To Clear Debt
Shavertown Will
Pick Up Coin Cards
Starting Monday
With only $4,800 remaining to be
paid off on its $15,000 fire truck
delivered last October, Shavertown
Fire Company is hoping to com-
pletely wipe off the debt from the
contents of the coin savings cards
nights.
The cards were distributed to
every householder in January. Each
card has slots for a contribution of
$4 in coins and a pocket for addi-
tional folding money. Firemen will
start the collection each night at
6 until the entire community is cov=
ered.
The firemen are confident that
especially from those who have
never contributed before.
During the past few months all
equipment given by Civilian De-
fense has been thoroughly over-
hauled and put in shape for imme-
diate use. Water tanks and nozzles
have been repaired. A $158 mask
that was useless because there were
no canisters for it has been put in
shape with new canisters at a cost
of $6.60 each. All hand extinguish-
ers—many of them useless because
they lacked hose or parts—have
been put in tip top shape. This has
required many man hours. The truck
now carries eight water tanks in
addition to its regular complement
of foam, dry powder, and carbon
dioxide as extinguishing agents.
Since January 1, the company
has answered nineteen alarms.
Alarms are received by company
officials over five fire telephones
at a cost of about $32 per month.
Present treasury balance is $207.
Most of this amount having been
received frem new members’ dues.
Thirty to thirty-five men regu-
larly attend meetings and all mem-
bers of the community are urged to
take part. . f
On Friday night twelve out of
the twenty-one men who received
certificates for receiving 54 hours
of training at the Back Mountain
Fire School were from Shavertown
Company. /
They were: Edward Carey, presi-
dent; Leroy Dourand, vice-president;
Robert Voelker, secretary; William
Kistler, treasurer; Emil Klinges,
chief; Arnold Yeust, assistant chief;
William Purcell, captain; Wendell
Jones, lieutenant; James Smith,
steward; Elwood Dungey, Johnson
Miers, John Chapple.
Westmoreland Exhibit
Westmoreland High School class-
rooms, gymnasium, shop, and halls
will show products of student skills
at the annual exhibit next Wednes-
day night, from 7 to 9. Parents and
friends are invited to attend by W.
Frank Trimble, principal.
Mrs. Emma Ide may be 89 by the
clock and the calendar, but nobody
would ever have suspected it Sat-
urday night when she recited “The
Smack in School” at the Lehman
Fire Hall. Members of the audi-
ence hoped that when they reached
her age they would be as alert and
in love with life as this gracious
white-haired lady, and with as good
a memory for childhood happenings.
The covered dish supper staged by
Lehman Fire Auxiliary was’the sec-
ond birthday festivity of the day
for Mrs. Ide. The first was a sur-
prise party arranged by Mrs. Russell
Ide for twenty guests: Addie Sear-
foss, Clara Mekeel, Grace Whitesell,
Mabel Stolarick, Ellen Lamoreaux,
Hanna Sutton, Alice Reilly, Lena
Trethaway, Elva Drabick, Sadie
Johnson, Florence Howell, Marian
Major, Martha Rogers, Fay Brown,
Ella Major, Edith Weintz, Alice
Brown, Fay and Glenda, and Eliza-
beth Ide. The following day Mrs.
Ide was guest of honor at a family
dinner, and over her birthday week-
end she received eighty cards.
April 23 has a three-fold meaning
for Mrs. Ide. On that date in 1864,
young John Willard came home on
furlough from the battlegrounds of
the Civil War and married Sarah
Ann Delong, returning to finish out
almost four years of service in the
Union ranks. Two years later, to
the day, their first child, Emma
Lovina was born. And eighteen
years after that, she was married
to James Ide, moving from what is
now Loyalville to Lehman Town-
ship.
She was educated at the Allen
and Durland schools, both of them
within walking distance. The Dur-
land school still stands, used now
as a storage place for Lake Town-
ship Supervisor's tools and equip-
ment, but the log house where little
Emma was born has been torn
down.
There were eight children born
to James and Emma Ide, five living:
John and Robert, Lehman Town-
ship; Clifford and Marcus, Dallas;
and Howard, Trucksville. Twenty-
four grandchildren, the eldest forty-
nine, and twenty-eight greatgrand-
children, the youngest under a year.
Little Esther, one of the two daugh-
ters, died at seven of membranous
croup, the scourge of childhood be-
fore the turn of the century. The
other daughter, Audrey, died at
forty-three, and a little boy, Ralph,
died suddenly of a heart ailment
when seven years old. Mrs. Ide’s
husband James died in 1935, at
which time Mrs. Ide gave up the
family farm and made her home
with her sons John and Robert,
helping bring up eight more child-
ren after her own were reared.
Mrs. Ide’s sight is not so good as
it was, with one well developed
cataract and another beginning, but
this does not keep her from carry-
ing on her usual occupations. On
Saturday night she said she would
be in Sunday school the following
morning, as always, a pillar of the
Louella Neely Bible Class.
Bares Tendons
In Band-Saw
Escapes Serious
Injury In Shop
Arthur Major, eighth grade stu-
dent at Lehman-Jackson-Ross,
escaped “serious injury Wednesday
morning when he fed his left wrist
into the band-saw during a shop
period. Tendons on the back were
laid bare, with such a wide gash that
seven sitches were required to close
the wound, but function was not
impaired. Lester Squier, supervising
principal, took the boy immediately
to Nesbitt Hospital after a pressure
bandage had been applied by Mrs.
A. B. Simms, school nurse. Arthur is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Major.
Explorer Scouts Visit
Sunbury Power Plant
Explorer Scouts made a four hour
tour of the mammoth Penn Power
and Light plant in Sunbury last
Saturday. They found that it was
the largest anthracite burning elec-
tric power company in the world,
with a stockpile of a million and a
half tons, and that it served twenty-
nine counties. Leslie Barstow,
Charles Rinehimer, Dave Perry, and
Joseph Harris furnished transporta-
tion. Cars started at 8:30, returned
at 4:30.

Statistics show 10,000 babies
born with cerebral palsy every year
in the United States. Training the
small victims to walk and to han-
dle themselves is a laborious job,
requiring expensive specialization in
severe cases, and special schooling.
Rehbilitation extends over a period
of years. Results are slow, almost
imperceptible for a time, but def-
initely worth while, building morale
along with physical coordination,
and resulting in constructive mem-
bers of society.
