He DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA ' Southern Skies Show Wonders ~ To Dallas Winter Visitors By HILDA NEWBERRY At last I am receiving my Posts— thank you. Yes, I brought my ‘scope’ plus my ‘binocs!’ I have not seen northern lights but have seen south- ern lights. (Aurora Australis) Have I . seen some southern constellations— Those South | and Southern Cross. Pole stars are a gorgeous sight; since we are in central Florida, I must get out at odd hours to capture some of them as they orbit pretty close to the pole. We have the Orion sign directly overhead here and =f of that the southern stars roll Hong, \ In Dallas in December we had oe too low on south horizon to see anything ‘down under’. Jupiter came around from behind the sun on January 21. Each day it will rise a little earlier ahead of’ the sun till it lifts into the midday sky and can’t be seen again (due to sun’s ray) till after July when it -will be seen earlier each evening in west. Here the papers list the evening and morning ‘planet-stars’. Same follows for Saturn which will ‘emerge’ on February 28—before sunrise. Now red Mars is morning and evening star as it rises in early eve- ning in east and sets 4 to 4:30 in morning. Venus stays up there in © her tight sun-orbit in west near sun and bouncing thru all her phases like our moon. ' Only the telescope i the phases. enus and Mercury never stray far from sun due to their orbit. The back of Kuehn's Rexall Calendar will give you a good record for this during 1961. Venus is our ‘twin’. The papers here have charts daily. 1 send you a sample. The planets are easy to distinguish from the ‘stars. They seem to hang in a 4th - dimension sphere of steadiness! ‘Pushed-out’ so to speak. I think as Kennedy said “We should Fly the stars (quote)”’ Don’t pretend the sky is not thir —study it more. Statistics show that in the last 100 years the sky has been ignored. Its a shame consid- ering that we may be blown up into it any day now. It would be nice to ‘have a comfortable little planet to land on, wouldn't it? + Read Worlds in Collision, ‘When Worlds Collide, or After Worlds Collide at Dallas Library and be set for some fascinating reading. I guarantee you won't put them down till they're finished. Even Einstein's Theory is easy to read and under- stand. If you can play ball you can understand the Theory: I had a rare sight in the scope last night. I had seen ‘Andromeda nebula ‘edge-on’ in Dallas, but last it after a months time I saw the last disappearing arm (line of stars) of Pegasus and low along it Iccidently captured the nebula ‘opened up’. Look at a saucer edge- wise and then opened in circle fash- It was a rare and beautiful accident. It is supposed to be the nearest pattern to our solar system. If there are people there as far advanced as we, they probably see us in the same ‘way. According to some astrono- mers we may be far inferior to any other peoples on any other system. The 200 inch Mt. Palomar scope can separate Anrhomeds into individual stars whereas mine shows a great’ white glowing cloud. When look- ing at the aurora,’ remember it marks the path of a very. intense electric current. It hurts radio and Sort wave re- ception immediately as my neigh- bor has a powerful 2 way radio with 150 ft. high antenna and when she gis her hired men at all points in North or Central Florida she often gets Arizona and California ‘hams’. She studied the sunspots thru my e and said she wouldn't scold | ie Bell men so hard since they are helpless to control the radio waves , when sun is on a rampage. She said she is learning a lot thru my scope. She runs a paving business with trucks, bulldozers, draglines all over: Florida. ' Temperature is erratic—usually 65 to 75 but any morning it can go down to 35 and grove men get up at 4 in the morning to “smudge their groves’. Trailer trucks go by con- stantly with huge loads of lemons, oranges, grapefruit, limes and guava. Prices are high due to some fruit damage by frosts; The South American citrus industry was wiped out completely from a blight many years ago and Florida must keep on her toes with sprays, heat smudge and fertilzers. It is a constant vigilance. The Zel Garingers of Lake Street, stopped in at Christmas time and we had a rousing game of pinochle. They have gone over to the Gulf Coast now for the winter. Sev and I celebrated our 21 wed- ding anniversary January 8th with friends at Daytona.

Graham addressed Dallas Kiwanis Club January 25 at Irem Temple Country Club Mr. Morris spoke on behalf of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Industrial Fund Campaign for 1961.

Goal of the Fund for 1961 is $1,500,000 and during this campaign everyone will be solicited to wpledge over a three year period.

Lake Leads League In the first game, a torrid first half proved to be the undoing of St. Therese’s in a very high-scoring contest. Paced by the fabulous shooting of Don “Zeek” Hinkle, who registered 14 points in the first quarter and finished with a total of 25. Harveys Lake rolled to a com- manding 50-27 . halftime margin. Also assisting in the scoring de- partment for the Lakers in the first half were Fred Price with 8 of his 10 points, and guard Bob Harris with 12 of his 16 tallies. The second half saw the Saints come roaring back to within as few as 7 points of Harveys Lake's lead, paced mainly by the deadly shooting 15 points in the final two stanzas. Pete Letts displayed some fine re- bounding and good floor play and Bob Bolton used his accurate foul shooting to the team’s best advant- FORTY FORT THEATRE FRIDAY and SATURDAY Ann Francis - Lloyd Nolan “Girl Of The Night” SUN. — MON. — TUES.

In all, the Saints had five men score in the double figures, includ- ing, hustling guard Bob Shotwell with 12 points, and Center Keith Yeisley, who fouled out of the game midway in the third quarter, regis- tering 10 points. Although the Saints outscored their opponents 45-32 in the second half, they couldn't get up enough steam to overcome the-wide margin maintained by Coach George Sear- foss’ fine Harveys Lake team.

He was buried in Lehman Ceme- tery Saturday afternoon, borne to his last resting place by fellow board members Walter Chamberlain, Dean Shaver, William Naugle, Lewis Ide and Bruce Williams, and super- vising principle Lester Squier. Hon- orary pallbearers were Lake Town- ship board members, assistant super- visor Robert Belles, and high school principal Anthony Marchakitus. Lehman Methodist Church, con- ducted services from the Bronson Funeral Home. Mr.’ Ehret had shovelled snow at his home in Meeker the week before he was taken ill, and for several days did not feel very well. He had had no previous definite history of heart trouble, but had not been ac- cepted for military service during the First World War. He was seized with unbearable pain Monday morn- ing, and when taken in’ the family car to Dr. Malcolm Borthwick was immediately sent to Nesbitt where he was placed under oxygen. Im- mediate cause of death ten days later was given as a ruptured aorta. His son Glenn was hospitalized at Nesbitt last spring suffering from a herat attack. A son Steward died in 1944, His main interest outside of his home was the school, which he served as director long before the first jointure with Jackson Town- ship, the later jointure with Ross, and the current jointure with Lake- Noxen. His experience as a car- penter for 27, years with Scranton Spring Brook Water Company, now Pennsylvania Gas and Water Co. gave him valuable knowledge for service on the Building and Grounds Committee, of which he was chair- man, 3 He had thought of retiring at the end of this term of office. But the new Lake-Lehman high school, still in the planning stage, offered an- (raf other challenge to a man who had Rev. William Howard, pastor of | gone over every inch of previous construction projects, the gymna- sium wing at Lehman ten years ago, the elementary school at Ross Township. Mr. Squier summed it up: “Mr. Ehret was always there.” Night after night Mr. Ehret checked pro- gress, spending himself without stint, and always moving with the quiet pleasantness which was his trademark. Lehman was his community, and he gave it his best. For many years he was active in the IOOF. He was one of the founders of the Lehman Fire Company, and an organizer of the Fourth of July Parade and Horse Show. He belonged to Lehman Methodist Church and its organiza- tions. He was born in Jackson Township June 16, 1892, son of the late Charles W. and Eliza Wilcox Ehret. For 43 years he lived in Lehman Township. He and his wife, the former Irene Pollock, observed their 47th wed- ding anniversary last April. Surviving are: his widow; three sons: Sheldon and Howard, Lehman; Glenn, at home; three daughters: Mrs. Albert Foss and Mrs. Alice Walsh, Sweet Valley; Mrs. William Calkins, Oak Hill; eight grandchil- dren; a brother Harry, Endwell, N.
