Farm Show in 1955.
Is Purchased By
It was no accident that Ralph
Sands has sold his young: Holstein
Bull Sandsdale Dandy Dewdrop to
the famous Curtis Artificial Breed-
ing Farm of Cary, Ill.
Dewdrop’s sire is the excellent
Curtis Candy Dandy George, one of
the outstanding Holstein Bulls of
the country.
The mother of Dewdrop is the
famous old Molly Cow, registered
as Molly Belle Lyons, Grand Cham-
pion at Bloomsburg in 1952, ’'53
and '54.
She is classfified Excellent with
a record of 23,106 pounds of milk
and 891.7 pounds of butterfat in
334 days at ten years of age.
‘Around Molly’s family of four
daughters, two granddaughters and
two grandsons, Ralph Sands has
built an outstanding herd of Hol-
steins and has become one of Penn-
sylvania’s leading young breeders.
His Senior Herd Sire Springbank
Piebe Sovereign 10973275 has con-
tributed largely to the success of
this herd being a consistent show
ring winner and siring some of the
best animals in the Sandsdale herd.
One daughter of Sovereign and
Molly made 713 pounds of butterfat
as a two-year-old.
Sovereign and old Molly have
truly put [Sandsdale on the map..
Sandsdale Dandy Dewdrop will be
heard from and Ralph Sands is to
be congratulated on the production
of such a fine young sire and his
sale in four figures to the nationally
known Curtis Candy Artificial
Breeding Company of Cary, Ill
Old Molly’s lifetime record is
125,104 pounds of milk and 4,637
pounds of butterfat. It is safe to
say that old Molly will be around
Sandsdale Farm for many years to
come.

Little League
Opens Saturday
With A Parade
Fire Companies And
Band To Assemble
At Bloomsburg Mill
The whole community is urged
to turn out tomorrow afternoon at
2 when Back Mountain Little League
opens its season with a big street
parade and a special program at
the Little League Field in Shaver-
town.
Parade units will form at Blooms-
burg Mills at 1:30. Included in the
line of march which will be headed
by civic fraternal and Little League
officials will be Westmoreland High
School Band, Dr. Henry M. Laing,
Shavertown, Trucksville and Orange
Fire Departments as well as any
others who wish to participate.
All Little League teams will par-
ticipate in uniform. The parade
will move promptly down Memorial
Highway and thence up West Cen-
ter street to the field, where open-
ing day ceremonies will take place.
The first regularly scheduled
game between Shavertown and
Jackson will take place immediately
after the ceremonies.
The field is now in excellent
shape with a newly constructed dry
surface dug out along the third
base line.
There are fifteen uniformed play-
ers on each of the six teams making
a total of 90 boys on the major
league teams. : There are also 90
boys on the six minor league teams.
Al minor league games will be
played this year at Fernbrook Field
just off DeMunds Road on the Goer-
inger property. Major League games
will be played Monday through
Friday on the Shavertown Field,
with rained out or make-up games
played on Saturdays.
Other Little Leagues throughout
the Valley have had a two weeks
start on the local League because
they were able to use their fields
earlier. The local League has to
wait until school recesses before it
can start. This means that the local
teams are under considerable pres-
sure in order to finish the sched-
ules within the time set by National
Little League. Thus Back Mountain
League plays five nights a week
instead of four.

Critically 1
At Nesbitt
Dr. H. A. Brown Faces
Operation Today
Dr. H. A. Brown, beloved Lehman
physician, is critically ill at Nesbitt
Hospital. He will be operated upon
today to determine the nature and
the gravity of a disorder of the
liver.
Three members of the faculty of
Lehman-Jackson-Ross high school
gave 0 - positive blood yesterday,
and more teachers have signified
their desire to contribute. Those
who had the honor of donating
blood for Dr. Browh were Arthur
Nuss, John Armstrong, and Edward
Edwards.
Dr. Brown’s two sons have been
with him. Emerson flew in from the
state of Washington last weekend,
and Harold has arrived by plane
from California. His daughter, Lou-
ise Ferre, of New Rochelle, N. Y..'a
registered technician, was called,
and is at the hospital with him.
The community is deeply dis-
turbed over Dr. Brown's desperate
illness. Carrying on with his work,
attending to his patients far beyond
the line of duty, while illness was
creeping upon him, Dr. Brown fin-
ally realized that he himself was
gravely ill, and made arrangements
to turn his patients over to other
physicians.
