This will be the eighth annual program for this organization but will be the first time that Dallas has been the host. ! The seven schools ‘and their direc- tors are: Dallas, Lester R.

The Festival Band is made up of approximately sixty-five selected players who rehearse every Thurs- day evening. Both directors and players give their own free time to ‘advance the cause of better band | music. The calibre of music used for the band is superior to what any one individual band might attempt to perform. Each year two different directors are selected to conduct the group. For both directors and students, this is an excellent musi- cal experience. The program on April 5 will be | the second appearance of the group | this year. The first was at Teacher's ~ Institute on October 25. ® The band has also been invited to play at the Fine : Arts Fiesta, Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, May 19.

The formula for 1962 is $291.93 for each mile in each subdivision and $1.06 per capita for each person within its confines. The formula is 60 percent of mileage and 40 percent on population as specified in Act 635. Amounts to be received by each Back Mountain municipality with its population and miles of roads are listed as follows: Dallas Town- ship, $11,080.61, population 4,053, miles of roads 23.24, Dallas Bor- ough $5,891.06, population 2586, miles of roads 10.79; Franklin Town- ship, 5,501.49, population 880, miles 15.64; Jackson Township, $8,063.88, population 1,364, miles 22.67; King- ston Township, $13,942.24, popula- | tion 5,450, miles 27.97; Lake "Town- ship, $11,067.27, population 1.895, miles 31.03; Lehman Township, $12,852.69, population 2,318, miles 35.61; Ross Township $11,875.16, population 1,360, miles 35.74. Distribution of the 90 percent in April was started by Governor George M. Leader in 1958 and has enabled municipalities to undertake substantial construction work dur- ing the swmmer months. Allocation of $30,000,000 annu- ally to the municipalities is auth- orized by Act 8655 enacted in 1956, | as amended by Act 8 in 1961. The $27,000,000, ninety percent of the total allocation, is being made in April so that the municipalities may construct necessary projects during the summer months.

Mr. Shiber had not been ill. His death came without warning as he slumped in his chair in the same living room where a family friend Mrs. Wesley Himmler died as unexpectedly on a Saturday night some years ago in the company of friends. At that time Ray said, “that is the way I'd like to go.” The family physician Dr. Richard Crompton, and Dr. Harry Gallagher were summoned, both arriving at the same time, but there was noth- ing to be done. He died instant- ly. A son of the late George and Isabel Jones Shiber, Ray was born in Pittston, December 18, 1884. His father = died when he was about nine and his mother, a tiny Scots- woman, with Ray and her two younger children, Walter and Ber. tha, returned to live with her mother in West Pittston. It was there that he formed a lifetime friendship with Atty. Burt B. Lewis whose family lived just two doors away.

From his youth Ray loved the out-of-doors and tel excel in what. ever he undertook, One of his earls iest fancies was raising little known and prize breeds of ghickens. He exhibited at local fairsiand in nat- ional x ribbons. 3 i What little fofmal education he obtained was in rural schools and at Keystone Academy, Factoryville, where he met the Mathewson broth- | ers—Christy, who became the fam- | * | ed pitcher for the New York Giants, | and. his younger ‘brother who, Ray | always claimed, was ‘just as good a pitcher.” Ray loved all kinds of sports, and was himself a fast pitcher play- |ing with many amateur teams. { It was during those formative years and later when he worked in he became fascinated with the Civ- | il War through conversations with | veterans: who daily refought its | battles as they gathered about a | North Main Street livery stable. One of them, a minister, asked Ray | to accompany him whenever he was called to give a patriotic talk at a church. From these lectures, Ray |'became engrossed in the war. To understand the background of its tactics and strategy he stud- ied Napoleon's campaigns and freq- uently in later years drew compari- sons between errors and triumphs of Union and Southern generals with those of Napoleon's Marshals. He visited practically every east- jing over the fields at Antietam, i Chancellorsville and Gettysburg talk- ling wherever he could with veter- | ans, searching out in Soldiers’ Homes | men who could add light to some | controversial action. | Many Interests But his study of the war did not !narrow his interests, While equally | versed on the early history of Wyom- {ing Valley and Canal boat days, he | turned his mind -in later years to of them on his fields in Dallas. He | exhibited them in all of the big shows of the east, becoming so {much an authority and hybridizer {that his advice was sought out by | leading horticulturists including the | nationally famous Burpee growers. | Rich- | He was also a judge at many flow- er shows. ‘When he was no longer physically able to tend, himself, his beloved gladioli, he turned to the collection of antique colored glass, travelling out-of-the-way place. Their collection spread out into every room, nook and corner of {their shaded home on Center Hill Road and’ became the mecca of collectors from distant places includ- ing General Motors and DuPont ex- | ecutives. Ray could talk with any- i body, and learned from them all, land Mrs. Shiber was his constant | companion, attempting futilely to {have him watch his English as well las the glass.
