Dallas Woman Is Stabbed By Purse
Snatcher On Philadelphia Street
A Dallas woman, Mrs. Carrie’
peroon, Franklin Street, was
stabbed in the left arm Saturday
night in a purse snatching attempt
on a Philadelphia Street.
She warns all women who visit
Philadelphia to be on the alert
when walking along the streets
after dark.
In company with two other
women, Helen Hanlon and Helen
Brown, Mrs. Caperoon had just left
a restaurant and was walking
down Spruce Street, near Fortieth
at 9:30 when she felt a sharp pain
in her arm.

Civil Defense Committee for Dal- |

the Borough Building to discuss fur- |
‘ther plans for procedure in case of |
national catastrophe which might
o, recipitate thousands of refugees |
into the Back Mountain area.
Stefan Hellersperk stressed once
more the vital importance of every

weeks supply of food and water in|
a spot protected from radio-active |
contamination.
Harry Burns, speaking for the]
survival crew, of which he is chair-|
man for both the Borough and Dal- |

for appointing a chairman for each
street and road, who would get first |
hand information about the size of |
the families, accommodations for
possible influx of people, and pres-
ence of invalids in each area.
Fred Dodson accepted the chair-|

Miriam Lathrop, librarian, told
Directors of the Association at their
January meeting Tuesday night in

She also commented on the in-

having term papers to write. Stu-
dents of College Misericordia, Kings,

make regular use of “our reference

Miss Lathrop, who will retire this
year to make her home in Arizona,
said: she is preparing a note book of

why I do certain things as I do. This
has come from experiences here.”
The Board discussed at length the
curtailment of library appropriations
by Dallas Borough Council, bringing
out that this is the first year since
establishment of the library that it |
will receive no assistance from the
community in which it is located.
Robert Bachman, president, point-
ed out that the Library cannot now
meet its annual operating expenses
from the sums received from local
school boards, municipalities, mem-
berships, and Friends of the Library.

“Probably no single institution has
| done more to attract attention and
draw new residents to Dallas and
the Back Mountain area than the
Library and the Auction.”
On the suggestion of Ralph Hazel-
tine and Frank Slaff it was decided
to invite representatives of all Back
Mountain municipal bodies and of
the schools to the annual meeting of
the Library Association next Thurs-
day night at the Annex.
Dr. Lester Jordan, general chair-
man of the 1961 Auction, reported
that there will be two co-chairmen

we are a nation living off the fat of

Much has been made of the need
to reduce the outflow of our dollars,
by recalling Service Families, ‘while

Eddie Chiampi and his entire team

After seeing the offensive and de-
fensive tactics used by coach (Clint
Brobst, Chiampi will most likely
come up with some surprise manhu-
ver to try and out-smart the West-

It would be none surprising if both
teams used an all-court press right

one another.

an easy win.
Lehman tried to kill the ball only to
have the Mounts again throw up the
press and outscore Lake-Lehman

Must Stop Chemo, Gavlick
Westmoreland’s biggest problem
tonight will be to try and stop the
t scoring thrusts of Shemo from the
inside and the outside shooting of
Gavlick.
Provided the Mountaineers can
accomplish this, they should come
out on top. 4
In the meantime Chiampi must
figure a way to stop the scoring of
Gauntlett, Evans and Trewen.

season for Westmoreland to,
