Squier, supervising prin- cipal of Lehman - Jackson - Ross Schools, served three pulpits last Sunday, during the absence at an- nual conference of Rev. Kenneth O'Neill. Assisting him at all three services was Herbert Ward of Ide- town, manager of Dallas Acme super market. Mr. Squier spoke on “What Makes A Person Great,” and the burden of his remarks was that parents should not worry about their high school children when they are approaching graduation, but long before they enter the first grade, when acceptance of respon- sibility will bear fruit. Mr. Squier says he now is in a position to sympathize with a min- ister who, serves a circuit. It took him fifteen hours to prepare for ap- pearances at Jackson, Idetown and Lehman Methodist churches, at 8;45, 10 and 11 a.m. : Wins Race At Day School In Five-Year Old Class Dwight Davis won the race in the five-year-old class at Wyoming Seminary.

She called me and said she thought it was sick, and I agreed with her. I squirted some of the milk into its mouth and it swal- lowed, but made no effort to get the milk itself. I squirted a little more, then laid it down as it was rather weak. I told Peggy to go to school and I'd try again in a little while. A second time I fed it a little, but the third time it didn’t swallow. Peggy's first words when she came on the porch at noon were, ‘Mommy, did it die?” It was a sad time. : It was strong enough Thursday night. Peggy took it over on the playground and came back saying it was trying to eat the clover. It took more than usual of the bottle when I settled it for the night— about midnight. Sad though it was to read your story, we have cut it out and added it to our collection of things to look back and remember. Thank you, Mary Reese.

Neighbors who had hoped and prayed that the delicate operation might bring health and a chance for a normally active life to little Joan Kline, rejoiced when the news came Thursday afternoon from Hahneman Hospital in Philadelphia that she had survived, and were cast down to the depths when they received the further telephone call that she had died five hours later. Fragile little Joan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kline, Pioneer Avenue, was operated upon shortly after eight o'clock Thursday morn- ing. She left the operating room at 2, apparently in good condition. Blood donors stood by to give fresh blood, throughout the ordeal. Don- ors were recruited from the immed- iate area, at Dr. Bailey’s insistence. Blood of the rare RH negative AB type will be replaced from this area. Little Joan recovered conscious- ness late in the afternoon, recogniz- ing her parents. And at seven o'clock she closed her eyes for the last time. Her laboring heart, which had already lived for thirty-five years in terms of heartbeats, was not equal to the strain of surviving the first crucial twenty-four hours. She was buried on Monday at Haddon Heights, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. Kline moved from Harrisburg to this area in Septem- ber with their two children, Joan and Bobby, and immediately en- deared themselves to the neighbor- hood on Pioneer Avenue. Mr. Kline is head of the account- ing department at Bell Telephone headquarters in Wilkes-Barre. The entire organization at Bell had been following with bated breath the reports on Joan’s con- dition. When the news came that she had survived the operation, they were jubilant, and exchanged re- lieved comments at the Athletic As- sociation Minstrel Show held that evening in Irem Temple. When they ‘reached home, the word was quickly passed that Joan had died. Joan would not have lived to grow up if she had not had the operation. A difficult decision to make, her parents took the grave responsibility, as all parents must do, realizing that with operation there was a fifty-fifty chance, and without it, none at all. When she was told two months ago that her parents were consider- ing an operation, little Joan said quietly, but with intense relief, “I hoped somebody could help me.” Field Trials Bring Out Variety Of Coon Dogs Eighteen dogs of various breeds and designs, from an Alaskan sled dog to the traditional black and tan hound identified with coon-hunting, nosed their way to a treed coon confined in a cage for bait at field trials held Sunday at Campbell’s Grove. Line judges watched the wide circle where a coonskin and coon- scented bag had been dragged, and other judges watched the tree shel- tering the coon. Five heats were run. Ernie Martin’s dogs, Sharkey and Joe the Wrangler, won several awards for lining and treeing, and Haddle’s Herky won a heat. ‘Al Dendler won the drawing for a $50 set of seat covers. Claude Campbell's mixed Malemute and Husky was a novelty on the coon field.
