DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA
Educators Agree
College Entrance
Hinges On Grades
‘Three R's Remain
Bony Framework Of
Higher Learning
Findings of the panel on how to
get into college and how to stay
_ there, staged last Wedesday night
at Dallas High School by Citizens
Committee for Better Schools, was
no surprise to local educators.
Concurring that it takes good
grades in high school to gain ad-
mission to any college of standing,
were Dr. Eugene S. .Farley, presi-
dent of Wilkes College; Robert G.
Bernreuter, special assistant to the
President of [Pennsylvania State
University for student affairs; and
John A. Hoch, dean of instruction
at Bloomsburg State College.
The criterion is marks, marks,
marks, agreed all three members
of the panel. A student who is in
the upper fifth of his class will
get into college. »
Mathematics, agreed the pannel, is
of tremendous importance. English
is the basis of any kind of com-
munication. Without good ground-
of English, a stu-
dent is handicapped from the start.
A student graduating
good high school, where a: high
percentage of (seniors expect to
enter college, is on a favored list
from the start, said Dr. Bernreuter.
It is assumed that he can handle
college work. [Extracurricular a-
.chievement, continued Dr.
er, cuts mo ice.
Bernreut-
It is studies that
count. A student who wasted his
time in high school will tend to
waste it in college. Recommendation
of the high school principal car-
ries great weight.
Dr. Farley advised application to
a number of colleges of varying
requirements. Any college, he said,
must be selective in this age. Only
30 to 40% of applicants to Wilkes
are accepted. Some students, it is
true, he said, bloom late. A boy
who finishes high school, goes into
the service, marries and fathers a
child, is in no position to waste
education.. Enrolled at college, he
will buckle down and work, even
though his high school record might
have excluded him when he first
graduated.
The function of a college such
as Bloomsburg State College, said
Mr. Hoch, is to provide teachers
for Pennsylvania schools. An aver-
age of 35% of applicants is accept-
ed. Recommendation of the high
school principal or guidance couns-
elor is vital. And in a teachers’
college, physical fitness is required.
Enrolled in 14 State Teachers’ Col-
i leges this year are 25,000 students.
To the question, “What chance
has a student from the lower half
> of the class to get into college,”
Dr. Farley pointed out that one
college in Towa has established a
reputation for admission of students
refused elsewhere.
Dr. Farley hammered home the
point that reading is of paramount
importance in order to understand
high school or college work. One
good theme a week should, he said,
be required.
Transfer students? If a student
is doing good work, he will be
acceptable.
Problem children? Try a church
school.
Genius in one direction, poor in
other subjects? If he’s superior in
one subject, he can apply ‘that
fervor to all subjects.
What about junior colleges? They
are in the main dedicated to term-
inal. courses for which little credit
could be given in a four-year col-
lege.
Why is it that the man who knows

resident of Lehman Board. He has
heen a member of the Board for
six years and serves on the Educa-
sion, Textbook and Public Relations
Committees. He has been a resi-
lent of the area most of his life.
Although he narrowly defeated
Niezgoda for the Republican nomin-
ation in the Primaries--losing his
own district, he is a strong contend-
ar and no one can deny his value
on the Board.
\
Noxen Township
Out, in Noxen where voters ap-
preciate the importance of good
schools and where proverty owners
nay taxes on recently reassessed
properties, the terms of J. .Frank- |
are |
lin Patton and Leslie Kocher
axpiring. They will be opposed by
Roy Dendler and Calvin Strohl, the
latter active in American Legion and
sommunity affairs.
Patton has served on the Noxen
Board during all the storm and
stress of the past twelve years when
Noxen has virtually lifted its educa-
tional standards by its own boot-
straps. He is employed by Armour
Leather Company, has children in
school and his family has been
identified with Noxen for genera-
tions.
Leslie Kocher, another employee
of Armour Leather Company, has
been a member of the Noxen Board
for ten years. He has children in
school and has lived .in the area
most of his life. He serves on the
Finance and School Policies Com-
mittees.
Ross Township
Ross Township is casual about its
politics except when there is a loc-
al feud and then it can get rough.
But this year no one has got ex-
cited about the cost of the new
school and everybody is taking
progress in stride.
The terms of Andrew Adams, an
independent merchant, and Alfred
Bronson, funeral director, expire.
Bronson is retiring.
Adams is the only Democrat on
the Board and he will have as his
running mate Chester Culver, =a
State Highway Department employ-
ee. They will be opposed by Cletus
Holcomb, Jr., and Harry Fisk, Sr.
Adams has been a member of
the Board for six years, is active
in civic affairs and is well known
throughout the area where he has
lived most of his life. He serves
on the Board’s Public Relations and
School Projects Committee.
Six years ago he attained a pos-
ition on the Board because of a
community feud which split Repub-
lican ranks giving him a victory
which Democrats, seldom enjoy in
Ross Township. This year
not be so fortunate in which case
the Board would lose a capable
member.

pleted plans for a Rally to be held

Two Townships Unite To Form
A New Ambulance Association
On Thursday night a week ago a
second meeting of interested resi-
dents of Northmoreland and Frank-
lin Townships was held to organize
an Ambulance Association at the
former Centermoreland school house.
Don Roberts acted as temporary
chairman.
It was moved to elect this first
slate of officers to run until the
first week in May of next year:
President, Rev. J. Edwin Lintern; |
vice president, Henry Hess; .secre-
tary, Mrs. ‘William D. James; treas-
urer, L. Stanley Jones.
‘Six directors were elected, three
from each ‘of the townships to form
with the officers a Board of Direct-
ors: From Franklin township Mal-
colm Baird, Harold Davenport, Mrs.
Marie Duffy; Northmoreland town-
ship Carl Bestedder, George Mata-
savige, William Story.
Tt will be the duty of this Board
| to select committees as they see |
the need. There will have to be |
found suitable housing for the am-
bulance, preferably in Centermore-
land which constitutes the larger
population concentration. A cam-
paign for funds will have to be!
organized. |
There are approximately four |
hundred families in both townships |
to be cultivated. It remains to be |
definitely decided whether to pur-
chase the Dallas ambulance or try |
for a later model although the |
consensus seemed to be in favor of |
making the first ambulance the one
offered by Dallas.
As an illustration of the splendid |
spirit evidenced in this initial pro- |
cedure it was told that one man has
offered to overhaul this first am-
bulance free of labor charges and
to man the ambulance if called.
(Tt was understood that it will take
three to take out the ambulance
each time.) There was some inter-
est also in the suggestion that in
the day time when men might be
scarce women could be called to
help “man” the ambulance. One
woman present had previously had
some experience in this service
elsewhere.
There seems no doubt that the
people of these two communities
will respond to appeals for support
in this necessary project.

Bulford coming over from Dallas to

Deny Thought
Of Closing
Noxen Tannery
Noxen Local Fur & Leather Work-
ers will begin negotations on a new
three-year contract Monday
Armour Leather
Company giving |
{ Yallitz, superintendent, that the
| company has no intention of clos-
ing its big Noxen Plant.
Similar lay-offs in other company
| plants in Williamsport and West
| Virginia, were in effect earlier this |
summer because of a shortage in
demand for leather, but now these
workers have been recalled.
Because of the nature of the tan-
ning industry, workers must ‘be
laid off in sequence, first those who
process the green hides and ‘then
on through the plant as the hides
go through the beam house and
yards to the rolling machines and
finished product.
Workers first laid off at Noxen |
were in the receiving end, and the
lay-off is now continuing to (other
departments. The first to be re-
called will be those first laid off.
Most of the 108 employees of the
Noxen plant are over fifty years of
age and any thought of closing
would be a real tragedy for the
community.
Curtailment of operation at the
Armour Leather Company tannery
at Noxen, has resulted in the lay-
ing off of some 40 of the em-
ployees of the firm. Remaining 60
employes will be laid off tempor-
arily, in stages, between now and
the end of the month, it became
known yesterday.
P. P. Yellitz, superintendant, den-
jed reports that the tannery will
be closed permanently. “There is no
basis for the rumors that the plant
is closing,” Yellitz declared. ‘No
preparations are being made to
close it and I have no information
that it will be closed. We are just
at a slow point in the industry, not
uncommon, but this one has lasted
longer than usual, resulting in the
layoffs. It is possible that some of
those first laid off will be called back
to work by the time the last of the
present group is idled.”
The tannery, an economic main-
stay of the Noxen ared, has been
located there since about 1890, Yel-
litz said. The plant is known
as Armour Leather Company and
is owned by Armour and Company.
The reason given for the slack per-
jod is the fact that the firm is not
soaking any hides at the present
time due to a decline in the de-
mand for leather goods.
