Unfortunately the Big Red came in second only to Harvard by: a margin of six inches. Harvard was the only crew to defeat Cornell this Season and had previously done so in America be- fore meeting the Ithaca crew in England. Graduating this spring from Cor- nell where he took a pre-med course, Dan will enter the medical school of Johns Hopkins this fall. His grandfather was the ldte Dr. D. Q. Robinhold of Forty Fort. He never saw a crew race be- fore ‘trying his hand at the sport during his Freshman year, but he sde it even though he had to bring his normal 375 pounds de Wi to#150.

Cars ‘lined the winding drives leading to the high hill, as friends and relatives of the young Sisters of Mercy for whom the buildings will be constructed, walked quietly to the scene.

I don’t know what his formula is” he laughed, “but I know he’s a great steak eater.” “Actually Danny became inter- ested in the sport more or less by accident. When he entered Cornell I advised him to take ‘up some sport for health’ and recreation sake. In high school he took part in track—in the high jump. He never seemed to care much for baseball or football.” “One day he saw a notice on the | Bulletin Board asking all men in- terested in trying out for the crew to report to the boathouse.

Sandsdale Calf Sells For $5,000 Goes To Canadian Breeding Cooperative Sandsdale « Rocket Masterpiece, the six-months old son of one of the greatest milking Holsteins in America—Molly Belle Lyons (ex)— was sold this week by Ralph Sands, breeder for $5,000 to the Oxford and District Breeders ‘Cooperative of Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. Masterpiece, a magniticant calf, is the fourth son of the seventeen- year-old Molly now in the service of breeding cooperatives. Inciden- tally Molly, who has produced 200,000 pounds of milk and 7,500 pounds of butterfat, is still being milked daily at Mr. Sands dairy at Carverton. She has borne six sons and six daughters.

Wherever her name is mentioned or printed, it is underscored excellent. She is one of the greatest of her breed in America. I guess you might say, I owe it all to Molly” Transistors Hum As Cape Canaveral Goofs Transistor radios, turned low, hummed on every desk at the Dal- las Post Wednesday morning, as the staff divided! its attention between front page news and the projected flight of astronaut Grissom. Out in the composing room, transistors were tuned to greater volume, to offset the noise of machinery. It was a good try, but Cape Can- averal weather did mot cooperate. Grissom climbed out of his space capsule, and the staff got back to grinding out news for the front page. What did Grissom say when he climbed out of the capsule? Com- Jntotaly unprintable. Y. Conference In Session At Camp Meeting Grounds ship. Speakers for the Sunday services will be: Bishop Marston at 10:30 a.m.; Rev. Norman E. Cooke, re- turned missionary from Egypt, at 2:00. Rev. Cooke, Superintendent of the Free Methodist Mission in Egypt, will speak of the work of the 82 Free Methodist churches and pastors, and 5000 members in that country. He was present at their annual conference when the church adopted a five-year plan, setting as its goal the establish- ment of three new churches a year. Because of recent action in which the church in Egypt became auto- nomous, Rev. Cooke is qualified to speak on the role of the missionary as adviser to a self-governing church. A graduate of Greenville College, and of Asbury Theological Semi- nary, Wilmore, Kentucky, Rev. Cooke pastored in Canada. He first fom to Egypt in 1954 as a mis- sionary under the Holiness Move- ment Church of Canada. That hurch, begun in Egypt more than half a century ago, voted to merge vith the Free Methodists in 1959.

Lies In State ‘To Her Church Home | Mrs. Alverna J. * Learn lay in At Huntsville Mrs. Learn Returns state at Huntsville Methodist | church on Monday, returning from | Conyngham to take her place once more in the church where she had been a mainstay for so many years. She was buried in Lehman Cemetery after a congregation of mourners had paid their last respects to a beloved member. Rev. Ray Demming, pastor of Conyng- ham Methodist (Church, where Mrs. Learn had taken an active. part for the last six years, in speaking of her, likened her to the salt of the earth which added savor to all with whom she came in contact. She died at 82, after a two month illness at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clifford Oberst of Conyngham, with whom she had mad® her home for the past six years after leaving her native Jack- son Township. During her long connection with Huntsville Methodist Church, she taught the BA Sunday school class for 27 years, and held office in the WSCS.

It is the hope of the barbecue and auction committee that they will be suc- cessful in raising a substantial por- tion of the remaining debt on the building project. a by the joint school board, on condit- ion that proper arrangements can be worked out which will not jeop- ardize school work or run counter to parental objection.

Lake-Lehman Faces Possible School Closing Unless Construction Is Ruthorized, Order Will Be Enforced Lake-Lehman’s building = program has been warmly commended by Harrisburg, both for its scope and its cost. P.ILB 40 has been ap- proved, and this morning at 11 an appraiser from Harrisburg will meet with County Superintendent of Schools Eugene S. Teter and ad- ministrators from Lake-Lehman to appraise both Lake and Lehman buildings for purposes of revalua- tion. Bids were. opened by the Leh- man Building Authority June 20. On this date, John Hewitt, presi- dent of the Authority, stated that though a period of sixty days was allowed before acceptance or re- il jection of bids, it was his opinion of that decision could be made within thirty days, a date which would coincide with appraisal of property 2 today. y All directors “in the five-way jointure voted for construction of the new. school except Vernon Cease of Jackson Township. Edgar Lashford, at a recent | school board meeting, pointed out i that present fire hazards at Lake i and Lehman cannot be corrected within the .year, and that failure | to authorize the building program | would jeopardize the school pro- gram, as two buildings would have to be closed unless the building project was approved and wheels set in motion. A breakdown of cost af construc- tion follows: for the ‘new high school, general contract $949,610; plumbing, $224,012; heating, $199,- 829; lighting, $144,921. Remodelling at Lehman: general, $63,000; plumbing, $29,843; heat- ing, $11,197; lighting, $12,711. At Lake: general, $105,000; plumbing, $35,378; heating, $49,- 100; lighting; $12,711. Lester Squier, supervising prin- cipal, points out that it has been . necessary to rent two houses across the road from the Lake . building to take care of the over- flow of students, and ‘that several rooms in’ the main building are substandard. There is no room for the Noxen seventh-graders, who would normally start junior high school with the other students of their age group at Lake. The new denior - junior high school is capable of housing 887 pupils, a capacity which will pro- vide room for foreseen growth of the student population. Since a school is paid for over a period ranging from thirty-five to | forty years, it is of prime impor- : tance that it be large enough to take care of all contingencies, and not be outgrown before it is' paid for. The cost of construction at the outset is less than cost of add- ing annexes in the future. 1962 Auction Chairman DICK DEMMY Lucky the Dallas Post kept Dick Demmy’s newspaper cut on the block, ready to slip into the paper again for the Post-Auction issue.
