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.

Robinson Says
(Continued from Page 1)
las Borough, said figures are about
complete, the recent census up-to-
date.
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

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

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.
Stolen Car Is
Recovered Here

On Theatre Lot
A stolen 1955 Ford sedan owned
