Three Cornell Students From India
Sample Area Cooking, Skip Blizzard ot BE ee!
Three Cornell students from India
were guests at the Edward Oncay |
. home at Outlet Road. Lehman, for
two days last week, starting for
Philadelphia just before the blizzard
struck this area.
Hailed as Kris, John and Charlie, |
because their names were unpro- |
nounceable to Pennsylvania tongues,
Dr. Krichna Das, Taraneswari Jha,
and Surjamoni Tathak, all natives of
India, had not encountered snow
as students almost four years ago. If
they had stayed until Saturday in-
stead of taking off in their ancient
jalopy on Friday, Mrs. Oncay re-
flected, they'd have had their |
money's worth.
At loose ends during the mid-
winter vacation between semesters,
tae three men, who occupy an apart-
raent near Cornell University, got
as far as Scranton on their trip to
Philadelphia to see the cradle of
liberty, remembered that the On-
cays lived near by, and called to say

The Oncays now have a pressing

three men and served Indian style
seated on the floor, and without
silver. They also have an inyita-
tion to visit India, see Calcutta and
Delhi, and renew the friendship after
the students return to their home
land in June. A bait is offered:
Charlie’s father, who made one of
| the beautiful rugs for the United
Nations building, will give Mrs.
Oncay a rug if she collects it herself.
There were: a few eating taboos.
Krie cats everything; one visitor was
a strict vegetarian, one could eat
chicken, but not beef or pork. Fried
chicken legs and plenty of assorted
vegetables made a good compromise.
“They wondered about coming
into the kitchén with their shoes

that in a hurry. Another bit of
international relationship leading to
understanding between races and
nations.

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9 1961
109th Has Colorful History
Dog Officers
Open Campaign
Unlicensed Dogs
May Mean Stiff Fine
On or about February 15 a general |
check-up will be started for owners
of unlicensed dogs.
All persons found owning or har-
boring unlicensed dogs will be prose-
cuted without exception.
The minimum fine is $5.00 and
costs of prosecution, and the maxi-
mum fine is $100.00 and costs, or
30 days in jail, or both.
It is not the wish of the Bureau
of Animal Industry or Thomas Mar-
shall, local enforcement officer, to
make these prosecutions, and it is |
hoped that dog ownmers will take
advantage of this warning and pur-
chase their 1961 license at once.
The purpose of this check-up is to
license all dogs having homes and to
distinguish: them from stray and
homeless dogs.
The strays can then be picked up
and disposed of eliminating the
possibility of them causing damage
to livestock and poultry and also
preventing an outbreak of rabies
among dogs.
All dogs not bearing a current
license tag are considered strays and
may be disposed of by any officer on
sight. \
A fee of $2.00 is paid by the Com-
monwealth to officers for each stray
dog disposed of. Forms for Teport-
ing same may be secured from your
ocal Bureau of Animal Industry
officer, or from the Dog Law Divi-
sion, Bureau of Animal Industry,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The purchase of ‘a license does
not permit your dog to run at large
unaccompanied, and
picked up by any officer.
So, protect your dog and respect
your neighbor's property by keeping
your dog confined to your own
property.

Farm Calendar
More Roses — You'll have more
blooms on your roses this summer
if you delay any pruning until
March, remind Penn State exten-
sion floriculturists. ‘This practice
applies to all roses except the
climbers, which should be pruned
after they bloom.
Be Prepared — Best defense
against a farm fire is a good fire ex-
tinguisher located in the right
place. Every farm and home should
be equipped with suitable hand ex-
tinguishers that are properly main-
tained and easily reached if needed.
Guard Fruit Trees — Rabbits get
mightly hungry in winter, and one
of their favorite targets is fruit
trees. Carl Bittner, Penn State ex-
tension pomologist, suggests using
wire cylinders of hardware cloth, at
least two feet high and loose enough
to keep rabbits away from all parts
of the tree trunk. Use a stake to
prevent the wire from rubbing the
trunk. |
Care for Battery — Cold weather
puts an extra load on the battery
of your tractor, truck or automo-
bile. It is especially important to
have the battery fully charged to
take care of every need.
Skating Helps — Skating on the
farm pond benefits fish life, accord:
ing to Robert Wingard, extension
wildlife management specialist.
Skaters keep the snow cleared, thus
permitting some sunlight to pene-
trate the ice and water beneath.
Costs Higher — Because of the
increase in the average size of
farms, expenditure per farm ‘will
continue to rise in 1961, according
to extension® farm management
specialists at Penn State. Items
that will tend to keep costs higher
will be interest rates, taxes, wage
rates and new machinery.
Three Water Sheds
Near Coudetrsport in Potter Coun-
ty, are the sources of three water-
sheds, each flowing off in different
directions. Headwaters for the Gen-
éssee River flow north to Lake
Ontario. The Allegheny River flows
east, then north, then south to Pitts-
burgh forming the Ohio which joins
the Mississippi, eventually flowing
into the ‘Gulf of Mexico near New
Orleans. The third watershed, the
Susquehanna, flows southeast into
Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic
Ocean.

In August 1950, one of these

Thirty-three men from this battalion
were killed in the train wreck at
‘Coshocton, Ohio the following

on State duty was mobilized in
whole or in part to render honors
upon return of the dead to Wilkes-
Barre. The battalion trained at
Camp Atterbury, Ind., and served
overseas with the 28th Division in
