Commodore of Cornell University's

x Dan, who will be remembered as
the red headed youngster who used
to be Jack-of-all-Trades at. the
Library Auction Refreshment Stand
where his mother, Iola, was for.
many years Chairman, flew to Eng-
land some weeks ago to take part
in the Regatta. 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.

Bright sunshine after a day that
had threatened rain, blessed the
breaking of ground for proposed
novitiate, juniorate, and provin-
cialate buildings, buildings, Sunday
afternoon at 4, on land adjacent to
College Misericordia.
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.
Sisters in flowing black veils,
sisters in flowing white veils, folded
their hands in prayer as Most Rev.

Gloomy Gil Dobie, says, “somehow
Danny seems to make the weight
4 everytime. 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. He has
rowed every varsity race for the
last three years. He rows in the
No 6 seat.”

tenths of a second to Harvard for

would have attended this year’s

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. Four of her daughters,

week to his grand old Molly Belle: |
“She is the foundation of this herd.
Wherever her name is mentioned or

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-

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.

the grounds of the Center Moreland
Tennis And Swim Club Has Strong Start
The Back Mountain area took an-
other step forward in its progress last
week when the new Valley Tennis and
Swim Club was formally opened.
Located on Harris Hill Road, about a
mile-and-a-half North of old Route 115,
better known as the Luzerne-Dallas High-
way, the new club is planned as a first~
rate family recreational facility providing
sports and social activities never before
available to residents of the region.
Among the facilites for the use of
members and guests are a giant inter-col-
legiate-size swimming pool, a wading pool
for children, four playing tennis courts, a
practice court, dressing rooms and picnic
grounds. Plans include further develop-
ment of arrangements for archery and
Designed in a modern func-
tional wedge, which provides a greater
area at the shallow end, the pool is hand-
somely equipped with one-meter and
three-meter boards, racing lanes and the
most modern filtering process. Heated 24-
hours a day, the pool is 75 feet long, 28
feet wide at the diving end, and 42 feet
wide at the general activity shallow end.
It is tied together by an attractive net-
work of concrete deck to a 15 foot wading
pool. Both pools are surrounded by
luxurious deck furniture.
The dressing house includes hot and
cold showers, water fountain, lockers, can-
Preparations Rolling For Sixth
Center Moreland Church Auction
Moreland Methodist
The first auctions made
it possible to purchase the former
Northmoreland School House and
the Center
Church.
Plans are under way for the
teen and snack bar, and a well-stocked pro
shop with a complete line of tennis and
swimming equipment.
The tennis area, nearing completion,
includes four green composition, fast-dry
courts unique in this area of the state.
Capable of drying within hours of the:
heaviest downpour, they normally provide
25% more playing time in the course of
the season. In addition, there is a hard
surface practice court, wholly enclosed,
designed for use by children for expert in-
struction and practice.
Head tennis pro and swimming in-
structor is Bill McClain, of Manchester,
Ga., a graduate student at Florida State
University ‘and a pupil of Junior Davis
Coach, John Powless. McClain is assisted
by a competent lifeguard and supervising
staff.
The club occupies a 10-acre site,
formerly part of the Brownlee dairy farm,
surrounded by one of the most magnifi-
cent natural settings in the East. Sheltered
against the wind on all sides, it enjoys ;
complete seclusion with trees towering
over a hundred feet high bordering the
grounds. A stream cuts through the
property providing an ideal picnic area.

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.
