Lost Philadelphia Beagle Scents Out Keen Human Interest Story © “Mister Lee,” the lost beagle | which made front page news last ‘week in the Dallas Post, has found himself, and in so doing, brought wout a story of a valiant couple in Philadelphia who have never recog- nized a handicap, or permitted “themselves to feel the sting of de- feat. . “Mister Lee,” lost since two days “after Christmas when he disap- peared fromi Quaker Court Motel here his ‘owners, Mr. and Mrs. we Zell were registered for a days of winter holiday with their two children, appeared at Goodleigh Farm Monday begging ' for a hand-out. Mary Weir and Pat Reynolds, with the story fresh in their minds, hailed the beagle by his name, and “Mister Lee” went wild with de- light. They notified the motel and were told to get in touch with Mrs. Walter Meade, Idetown, who iden- tified him as belonging to her good friends, the Zells, and took him _ home with her. © Mr. and Mrs. Zell are remarkable people. A great many people who “are crippled by polio use their han- dicap as an excuse for not going ahead and making a good life. But not the Zells. Drawn to- gether by the very circumstance of their similar disability, Marie and Walter married and have built a They have two lovely children, a daughter nearing fifteen and son of thirteen. | Their lower limbs practically use- less, they operate a car with manual controls, and every summer they drive to Harveys Lake to spend two weeks. Walter has been crippled since he was three years old, Marie not quite so long. Both of them have learned to live with their disability and ask no quarter. People at Hanson's Crown Im- perial Bowling Lanes were treated to an unusual experience at Christ- mas time, when Walter balanced himself on one crutch and sent the ball flying down the alley. Calling at the Meade home and hearing that they were bowling, the Zells followed their friends, and Walter succumbed to temptation. Some time ago Mrs. Zell was in- capacitated even more completely when she submitted to an operation which made it impossible for four months to use her crutches. Staying in bed was hard for this determined woman, but she called up reserves of patience, and is now back on crutches. Both Mr. and Mrs. Zell are obliged to wear braces, and walking is a challenge. estate as a side line. lovely new home. i Some of the merchandise | MORE THAN A NEWSPAPER, Three Brothers, Brother-In-Law Held For Several Thefts; Some Here Three brothers, a brother-in-law, and two other men have been apprehended by Pennsylvania State Police for recent burglaries in Luzerne County, some of them in the Back | Two of the brothers and a brother-in-law were committed to Luzerne County Prison on Monday following their arraign- ment before Justice of the Peace Howell W. Evans, Wyoming. the gang. One of the big breaks came Sunday night before Christmas :vhen Mr. and Mrs. Paul Smith were returning about 10 to their home in Mt. Zion. The Smiths, with the memory of Caddie LaBar’s recent robbery fresh in their minds, noted from a dis- tance a light colored station wagon driving up and down in front of their home. As soon as Mrs. Smith alighted, Mr. Smith gave chase and got the license number. While Mr. Smith was putting the car in the garage, Mrs. Smith discovered an intruder in the basement. She clos- ed the door to keep him there, but he escaped before her husband got in the house. The intruder was Corey Rozelle. After his escape that bitter night, he ran through a swamp where he lost his shoes and later turned up at the home of a distant neighbor, Myron Ash, where he said he was freezing. The Ashes had him removed by ambulance to Pittson Hospital where other members of his gang called for him later that night, among them were his brother-in-law, Jack- son, who had been the driver of the station wagon. i Another lead came when a local man informed State Police that he had purchased a $175 rifle from one of the Rozelle’s for $35. Police put the information on the teletype and learned that the gun was stolen in Philadelphia. Much of the loot has already been recovered and practically all of that lost by Caddie LaBar has been checked in. Harveys Lake Police who investi- gated the robbery of the Louis Stevio home, while the Stevios were in Florida, said they first learned of the robbery when a boy who was caring for the property found the front door open and notified them. Police at first thought nothing had been disturbed but Stevio later told them that a quantity of liquor and a portable typewriter had been taken. When Chief Hughes questioned the robbers at Luzerne County Prison, he learned that they had been in the house for an hour, open- ing all doors for quick escape, while a confederate drove the station wag- on back and forth in front of the house. y Liquor, and a desire for money for Christmas, played a part in their downfall. They told police that they never used guns. / When questioned about the White- sell robbery, one of them regretted that they had overlooked such a good haul. Jackson is a truckdriver, married, with three children, and earning as much as $100 per week. Frequently the gang pawned part of their loot and were naive enough to sign receipts ‘with their own names.

Kindergarten children of Dallas School District are using solid little new wooden chairs | A COMMUNITY INSTITUTION School Boilers Are Hooked Up, Heat Restored Borough Pupils Back At School Biter 2 Days Off Two new boilers are in operation at Dallas Borough School, and the school is adequately warmed. School was dismissed Tuesday and We of the rooms were too cold for classes on Monday, and teachers were obliged to take their pupils to ‘he halls. On Tuesday morning, with lack of sufficient heat still prevailing, pupils were sent home immediately after arrival. The new boilers were supposed to have been in operation December 3}, with a penalty imposed upon the contractor for each day beyond estimated completion of the job. The boilers, hand-fired, are using great quantities of coal at present because of faults in the valves which permit steam to escape. One kinder- garten room will be unavailable for use until this condition is corrected. An epidemic of measles which is sweeping the kindergarten makes it possible to combine classes when necessary, using the two other rooms. Crews of men are working at top speed in the furnace room. A fire loor was installed yesterday, be- ‘ween the hallway used by kinder- gartners, and the furnace room. There is still a lot of work to be dose, but heat is no longer a problem.

The bullet from the .22 calibre pistol entered Peter's left side pierc- ing the lung, spleen, liver and stom- ach. Emergency surgery performed by Dr. George Deitterick Sr., and his son Dr. George Deitterick, Jr., both of Sunbury resulted in the removal of the spleen and efforts to stop internal bleeding. The bul- let was not removed, and for many hours there was doubt that the boy would recover. His parents have been at his bedside constantly since the accident. Peter was very bad Sunday night when a Harrisburg lung specialist was called on the case, but is now much improved and up in a wheelchair. : The injured boy was taken to the hospital by his father in the family car. The Weavers, father and son, were members of a hunting party which also included Arthur Watkins, engineer with Sordoni Construction Co., and his son Fred, both of Forty Fort; George Ruckno, prominent building contractor, Shrine Acres, Dallas, and Edward C. Allen, Bear Creek. : The hunting party visited Harter’s Game Farm, a private hunting ground noted for its pheasants about three miles north of Northumber- land. ; Shortly after dinner Peter, who has been familiar with guns for some time, borrowed a pistol owned by Arthur Watkins for some target shooting at the farm. Afterwards, he returned the cocked pistol to Watkins by handing it to him butt- end first. At that moment the pistol Peter in the chest just above the abdomen.
