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.
Guess I've run out of news till we
make our trip to Everglades,
Sincerely
Hilda Newberry

|Lake Continues
To Hold Lead In
Church League
Shavertown And
Prince Of Peace
Tied For Season
By KEITH YEISLEY
In three Church League basketball
games played Saturday night at
Dallas Junior High, Harveys Lake
stayed in first place beating St.
Therese’s 82-72, Shavertown tri-
umphed over East Dallas 53-40, and
Prince of Peace beat Huntsville 45-~
35.
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-

In all, the Saints had five men

midway in the third quarter, regis-

Although the Saints outscored

Arthur Ehret's
Death A Blow
Was Corner Stone
Of School Board
Arthur Ehret, 68, for 21 years a
member of the Lehman school board,
died Wednesday afternoon at Nes-
bitt Hospital where he had been ad-
mitted on Monday, January 16,
suffering intense pain.
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. Y.; several nieces and nephews.
