deeb ACT PAGE FOUR Former Noxen Man Calls Here Harry Osborne Family Now Live In Illinois Mr. and Mrs. Harry Osborne and daughter Betty Ann of Warrens- burg, Ill, have been spending a week visiting old friends and neigh- bors in the Back Mountain area. Harry is a former Noxen boy who attended Bloomsburg State Teach- ers College in 1913-14, and was a member of some of the famous old Noxen baseball teams playing third base during the hey day of the late Bob Horlacher. For the past number of years he has operated a farm about twelve miles out of Decatur, Ill On their most recent eastern trip the family visited historic shrines in Charleston, S. C., Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Hartford, Conn. and at Kingston, R. I. were guests of Mrs. Osborne’s sister, Dr. Ruth Tucker, who is doing research work at the University of Rhode Island before flying to Rome later this summer. Although Harry might be a bit prejudiced, Mrs. Osborne, whose family owns orange groves in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, be- lieves the mountainous area of Pennsylvania is among the greenest and most beautiful spots in America. Mr. Osborne’s brother, Herbert, also a former Noxen first baseman, is with the Glen L. Martin Company in Baltimore and his sister, Ruth, former Noxen teacher, is Mrs. Ruth Messersmith of Binghamton, N.Y.

Farmers Predict Greater Harvest Except For Oats All Pennsylvania farm field crops, except oats, during June recovered from adverse spring weather to the point that greater yields per acre and bigger total harvests will be garnered this year than last, the State Department of Agriculture de- clared. [Federal-State initial 1956 acreage and production surveys, made as of July 1, revealed that wheat, now being harvested, should equal the record of 28 bushels per acre in 1954. Required acreage reductions brought the total wheat acreage down to a state all-time low of 589,000 acres compared with the 1945-54 acerage of 872,000. The 1956 production forecast is for a total crop of 16,492,000 bushels, half a million more than last year, but three million bushels under average. The state corn crop is estimated at 62,087,000 bushels, 723,000 more than last year and about half mil- lion bushels above average. Yield is estimated to average 47 bushels per acre, one bushel over 1955 and one bushel better than the 10-year average. The crop will be harvest- ed from 1,321,000 acres slightly under last year which was about average. Planting of spring crops was de- layed by wet ground which caused some decline in the acreage of oats. The crop is estimated at 27,195,000 bushels which is 6,111,000 under last year. Yield is set at 35 bushels per acre, seven bushels under 1955, but the same as average. The crop is being grown on 777,000 acres, 16,000 less than in 1955. This year’s tobacco crop, growing on the same number of acres as in 1955, is expected to reach 47,200,- 000 pounds, about 1% million more than in 1955, but better than two million under average due to a smaller acreage. Cub Pack Picnic Shavertown Cubs, Pack 233, will hold their picnic Monday evening at 6:30 at Bowmans Creek Roadside Park. The date was originally set for last Sunday, cancelled because of rain.

Figures are lacking from Dallas and Franklin Townships, areas hav- ing a large potential enrollment for a new high school. Raymond Kuh- nert, former chief of the triple jointure, due to a recent operation, was not able to be present to make his own report. One High School Now? Mr. Martin explained the action on retaining two football teams. PIAA, he said would not recognize one team until there is one high school. As long as there were two separate high schools, the teams must function separately. Dr. Robinson asked why the dis- trict could not have one high school immediately by reallocation of stu- dents. Mr. Martin said that this had been considered, but that it was not practical, both from a financial and a physical standpoint. Such action would leave one building desperate- ly overcrowded, the other high school sparsely settled. Until the new building is occupied, the junior retain their present shape and form. Associate Supervisor ? Dallas Township board members posed the question: Would the State have any objection to Mr. Kuhnert’s being termed Associate Supervising Principal ?' Dr. Robinson said there would be no objection, it was up to the board, that as long as the program moves horizontally instead of in two verti- cal units, nomenclature is not im- portant. Charles James pointed out that he himself had had thirty years of teaching, twenty-nine of them in an administrative capacity, while Mr. Kuhnert had taught for twenty- eight years. Why, then, should he take a minor position instead of being placed in a post of equal itorially, Mr. Martin, present super= visor, has had twenty-seven years of teaching, but his administrative term in one area is longer than that of either of the other two men, the yardstick used by Luzerne County office in mandating his election to the post of supervisor. Mr. Kuhnert’s supporters held the entirely understandable position that as he had headed the triple jointure, he should be recognized by title as second in command. The same question came up when Dallas Borough merged with King- ston Township for operation of a joint district. Mr. James, former supervisor of Dallas Borough schools, accepted graciously the necessity for now taking orders instead of giving them, and the two school boards from their opening meeting were in accord, with very few knotty prob- lems to hinder their smooth oper- ation. " Mr. Ambrose’s suggestion was that a title commensurate with Mr. Kuhnert’s position as chief of a triple jointure would put coopera- tion among the directors on a firmer footing, clearing the boards for un- ified action toward better education. No action could be taken on this, as the meeting did not have a quorum, but members discussed it among themselves, both during and after the meeting. Dr. Robinson said the present at- titude of the boards in attempting to run the same two jointures in- stead of one large district, reminded him of the Yankee church members who voted on a new building. The motion passed. A member rose to his feet and moved that materials from the pres- ent structure be used in building the new one. This was in line with Yankee thrift and hailed with acclaim. Emboldened by success, the mem- ber again rose. “And I further move, gentlemen, that the old structure be occupied while the new one is being built.” That, in effect, said Dr. Robinson, is your present jointure, and you'd Plant Manager Here On Visit Odus Moore Family En Route To Carolina Odus Moore, former manager of Fernbrook Plant, Bloomsburg Mills, with Mrs. Moore and children John, Kathleen and Kenneth visited old friends here last weekend on their way south from Lake Chatauqua, N.Y. where Mrs. Moore and the children spent the early part of the summer with her parents. The Moores are now stationed in Goshen, Indiana, where Mr. Moore is superintendent for the Chase Bag Company. Goshen is a center of a rich countryside settled by Amish farmers and is along the New York Central lines which have attracted many industries to the area. Odus will wind up his two-weeks vacation in his native Laurenburg, N.C., where his father, now in his seventies, is owner of a weekly newspaper and is the head of a committee which has just raised three and one-half million dollars for the establishment of a Presby- terian college in the town.
