The family lives on Davenport Street. Team Manager Bynon Explains Accident Curt Bynon, manager of East Dallas Teen-Age League team, adds a note of explanation to the account of the accident which marred the last game of the season last Tuesday. In an attempted pick-off play be- tween third baseman, Joe Noon, and catcher, Fred Gosart, Gosart had thrown off hig mask to get a better view. Pitcher, Mike Prokopchak, re- trieved the ball and threw it hard and fast to Gosart, who had turned his’ head for a ‘moment. He was Sifuels in the head, knocked uncon- us; recovered consciousness long bo, iE to beg to be kept in the game, and passed out again. He was taken to Nesbitt Hospital by John Malloy of the Wilkes-Barre Publish- ing Company. Mr. Bynon, realizing that the en- ting picture had not been pr esented because of lack of complete informa- tion in last week's Dallas Post, feared that baseball fans might wonder why Gosart, if :at bat, was not protected by a helmet. For benefit of residents who do not follow baseball, he explains that a catcher wears a mask over his cap, but no helmet, and that the only player protected with a helmet is the man at bat. Fred, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs.John Cosart, Fernbrook, came home from Nesbitt on Thursday, to remain in bed for several days, recovering from a slight concussion.

Bachelor's degrees were granted to 47 students at ceremonies in Walsh Memorial Auditorium. College officials announced that 592 students have attended summer classes. The summertime enrollment has been very different from the fall and spring semester student body of young college girls. There have been men and women studying at Misericordia this summer, the men having been admitted to gradu- ate level courses given in coopera- tion with the University of Scranton and leading to a master of arts or master of science degree. There have been teachers turned student for the summer—a324 women who will return to their own class- rooms in the fall, with an enriched academic background to impart to their own students. There have been Sisters in the garb of nine different religious com- rrunities for women. Some of these Sisters traveled to and from Dallas every day from neighboring towns, others have been living in.the college dormitories for the past six weeks. There have been 54 teen-agers, just out of high school, who are pre- clinical nursing students at Mercy Hospital School of Ilursing in Scran- ton. They arrived full of energy every (morning in the big Mercy Hospital bus, from Scranton on tine for an 8:30 class. They spent the morning studying anatomy and physiology, English composition, so- ciology, and developmental reading under the Misericordia faculty, and then returned to Scranton in the early afternoon for their proies- sional training .at the hospital. And there have been the little children—eight to eleven year olds from Dallas who have been studying French under Sister Mary Hillary, and helping other teachers learn how 0 teach foreign languages tc chil- dre And now that the summer classes are finished. the Sisters at Miseri- cordia are busily preparing for an- other influx of visitors next weck. Then every room in every dor mitory will be filled again with Sisters who come to make their annual nine- day retreat. session in Canon Law for superiors of religious communities who come annually from around the world to take this specialized training at Misericordia. Then will follow the annual Home- coming weekend for Misericordia’s alumna, and, 2 few days later, the arrival of the new class of freshmen for the new college year. The busy summer season will have lead into another busy fall semester at the growing Dallas college. Bloomsburg Fair Dates Announced A new Producer, Ward Beam, has been engaged to bring the biggest, most colorful, star-studded night Grandstand Show ever produced to the Bloomsburg Fair—September 26th through October 1st. The show will be Ward Beam’s “IT'S WON- DERFUL.” The Fair Board has demanded a new, type of show with everything in it new, not only to Bloomsburg but to the state. As one of the out- ‘standing attractions Mr. Beam is bringing the World Famous CANA- DETTES, a group of 24 dancing girls as the background feature. This group of girls play each year at the World's Largest Fair, the Canadian National Exhibition and are said to be on a par, if not better than, the famous Radio City Music Hall danc- ing girls. The Canadettes will come direct from the Toronto Exhibition to Bloomsburg. Their routines are said to be ‘so sensational that they sur- pass anything ever seen at Fairs in the States. This is the first time they have ever been in the United States, but they have played in England and France and have offers from all over the world. In addition to the 24 girls in 3 big production numbers, there will be 5 outstanding acts in the night show and the acts will be different from what has been used in the past —only one Circus act, which will be the Gutis Troupe, a European Jun- gle Comedy act; then the Dolonoff and Rae Sisters, an act that is so different—it’s a new type of Black Magic; another is Ming and Ling, two Chinese boys that are said to be the funniest act ever used at Fairs; and Paul Koehler, a Comic Xylo- phone Artist also from big-time show business. There will be a number of name attractions and these will be an- nounced as soon as contracts are signed in Hollywood.

Daughter, Following in Father's Footsteps, Joins Navy Nurse Corps Following in the footsteps of her father, who served twenty-two years inj the U. S. Navy before his retire- ment, last December 16, Shirley A. Darnell, Loyalville, left Sunday morning from Avoca Airport for Newport, R. I., where she will take eight weeks indoctrination in the Navy Nursing Corps. Ensign Darnell is the daughter of Chief Machinest’s Mate and Mrs. Darnell. A graduate of Lake-Noxen High School, she completed her hospital training at Wyoming Valley Hospital where she was president of the Student Nurses and won the Alumnae Award on graduation in 1958. Later she spent some time at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City and since July 1959 has been night supervisor at Wyoming Valley Hos- pital. She will be assigned to Philadel- phia Naval Hospital.

Jordan said the impressive record of this year’s Auction, the largest in history, would be difficult to equal, and presented a real challenge. Reports received by. Mr. Baker at a meeting of chairmen held at his home in Lehman Monday) night, in- dicated that from gross income of $25,000, a net of nearly $18,000 will be realized. The Ox-Roast, gift of Sordoni Enterprises in observance of its Fiftieth Anniversary, was a bonanza and added $2,700 to the income included in the final figures. The Back Mountain will long remem- ber Senator Sordoni, flourishing a long slim carving knife, slicing a huge haunch of beef smoking from the barbecue pit. Written reports were handed to Dr. Jordan, for his guidance next year. Over-the-block sales, according to Homer Moyer, were $12,000. re- freshment ‘stand, $2,139.14; the Art Booth, $424. Hanford Eckman, chairman for the Lark, suggested that next year a smaller type of sports car be offered. Just as many tickets, he pointed out, can be sold for a smaller car as for the expensive model awarded at the recent Auction, and the initial outlay is not so great. Advance sale, he said, were just about enough to defray the cost of the car, and profit had to depend upon sales at the Auction sessions and the Ox-Roast. Miriam Lathrop said that business was much brisker at the Book Booth in its new location, than on the hill out of touch with the auction block. Receipts were $562. Patty Davies, reporting for the sale of folders of sketches of Back Mountain scenes executed by Gregory Beisel, said all 100 of the specially printed sets were con- tr sted for, with two gratis sets, one sent to President Risenhower and one to Governor Lawrence. Enough of a back-log of the regular folders is left, to insure souvenirs for next year’s Auction. Mus. John Rogers gave a compre- hensive report on the Refreshment Committee, which operated, as did the other booths, four nights in- stead of the regular two. While the crowd might not always bid on items over the block, she pointed out, everybody gets hungry, and the clamor for coffee at a chilly mid- night hour is loud and clear. Mrs. Herman Thomas asked for expansion of the ticket booth to accomodate three people. Stefan Hellersperk took a bow for erection of extra shelving in booths, and efficient handling of the grounds. Mrs. Fred Eck reported for the Fun, Booth, and underlined a nota- tion for next year—mno water pistols among the prizes. Mrs. Harvey Kitchen, after an- nouncing that the percentage of items in the Odds and Ends Booth was higher than ever this year, gave a figure of $452.74 for total receipts, including $133 for costume jewelry reconditioned by the committee and Girl Scouts, and pocketbooks. Three treasurers, she said, worked out fine, insuring somebody in charge of the cash intake at all times. Mrs. Homer Moyer, head of Gen- eral Solicitation, a chairman ap- pointed each year by the Book Club, reported, and Mr. Moyer, the man behind the finances, was compli- mented on supervising a remarkable smoothly running organization. Robert Bachman, president of the Library Association, joined with Mr. Baker in thanking everybody who had worked as chairman or on com- mittees. Hedden Is Improved The condition of Raymon Hedden, who is a patient at Nanticoke Hos- pital where he was taken two weeks ago Saturday following a heart attack, continues to show im- provement. This week he was permitted to leave his oxygen tent and removed to another room. He is still not per- mitted to have visitors.

Its fine Colonial church is con- sidered by many to be one of the most beautiful in Pennsylvania. Its location, surrounded by the cemetery, is such, however, that the building cannot be enlarged and this has posed a problem for the congregation which has spent two years making a study of how it can meet its expanding needs. A separate building was finally decided upon as the solution. Two years ago the congregation conducted a successful fund raising campaign and it is contemplated that another will be conducted in 1961.
