And Rare Sympathy Dale Prynn Discharged
The third casualty of tumbling
at Dallag Junior High School with-
in a week is at Nesbitt Hospital in
traction, with expectation of wear-
ing a rigid collar for several months.
Carl McMichael, in the ninth grade,
got up from the gymnasium floor
Friday afternoon at 1:35 after crash-
ing in a tumbling maneuver. Mrs.
Eudora Baird, school nurse, took
him home to his mother, Mrs. Ster-
i ling McMichael, on Walnut Street,
! Trucksville, a stone's throw from
the office of Dr. Charles Perkins.
Dr. Perkins took the boy to Nes-
bitt Hospital where he had x-rays
and was placed in = traction for
partial dislocation of a cervical vert-
| ebra. He is in room 222.
| Dale Prynn, who suffered a neck
injury a few days earlier, was dis-
| charged on Thursday from Nesbitt,

intention. in writing this book when
he says: “I have presented the
American college girl as I saw her
during my ten years with her, either
as her teacher or as one who hap-
pened to meet her by choice or by
chance.” He further discusses his |
experience: “As a ‘teacher, I had |
her at College Misericordia for five
years; as a Research Fellow ‘at
Harvard, I became acquainted wit
many students from Radcliffe, iii
lesley, Smith, and Mount Holyoke; as |
a visitor, I conversed with her at |
Trinity in Washington, at Hunter |
in New York, and at Marywood in
Scranton; as a traveler, I met her
in trains and buses,
on the sea.’
Dr. Cirtautas analyzes the vari-
ous types of college girls in his
book: the intellectual, the social,
the aesthetic, and the classic. A |
special Section of the book is de- |
voted to the topic: The College
Girl Speaks About Henggh®. In this
avvendix two college &. essays
are included. The young authors |
are Nannerl Overholser, junior at
‘Wellesley College, Wellesley, Massa-~ |
chusetts, and Jeanne Von Kamen
junior at College Misericordia.
In his foreword, George N. Shust- |
er, former president of Hunter Col- |
lege, explains the special view of |
Dr. Cirtauvtas in his book:
no one except a man [with a Euro- |
pean background could manage to
judge this part of the American
scene so wisely and rightly.” He
concludes his foreword with a des-
cription of the character of Dr.
Cirtautas’ approach to this study of
the American college girl: “And
because what our author says about
it comes out of an affection so genu- |
ine and so wholly without dross,
there can be no doubt that many |
will like the book very much and
turn for once to contemplation of
the. marvels of our common life
rather than to any sort of clinical
dissection of what is wrong with it.”
Dr. Cirtautas was born in Lithu-
ania, and educated in Germany and
Austria. From 1946 to 1950 he was
Professor at the University of Er-
langen, Bavaria, and from 1950 to |
1956 was visiting professor at
several American colleges, including
Harvard University. He is also the
author of another book, The Refugee
published in Boston, 1957.
‘Infection, Scarlet Fever,

John, two year old son of Mr.

ville, ‘was painfully injured last
Wednesday when he caught his foot

ankle, both sides of which were
deeply lacerated.
On Sunday, four days after being
hurt, he was admitted to Nesbitt
Hospital suffering from infection,
and is now at home again, in bed

Fill Your Gholi
At Blood Bank
PTA groups of the area are re-
minded that only Dallas Junior
High School PTA filled its quota
of blood donation at the last visit
of the Red Cross Bloodmobile. Other
| groups failed to get ten percent
of their membership to contribute.
Unless the PTA group covering in-
dividuals registered for the Blood
Assurance Plan, has a minimum of
ten percent donation, residents
needing blood for operation, acci-
dent, or extreme illness, will be
in debt to the Red Cross for trans-
fusions.
The Dallas area, including Natona
Mills, has a quota of approximately
100 pints twice a year. Linear has
its own quota for donation, sched-
uled for May 8, 12:45 to 5:45, which
is filled for protection of its em-
ployees.
Local residents, depending on
PTA coverage are reminded that the
Friday after Easter is their date for

Campaign For
Harold Flack
Four Former House
Members Will Also
Support Incumbent
James B. Post, formerly of Han- |
| over Township who served as a
State’ Representative from the Sec-
| ond Lgeislative District and now res-
lidertzin Dallas, williscrve as primary
carapaign nay
dacy and re-election of State Sena-
tor: Harold E. Flack, 20th Senatorial
District.
“It will be vital for Luzerne Coun-
ty,” Post said,” to have the great
advantage of Senator Flack’s senior-
ity in the Senate when the Repub-
licans take over the state adminis-
tration mext year under: William W.
Scranton as governor.
“The value of that seniority, while
generally understood, cannot really
be appreciated by anyone who has
tot had experience in Harrisburg.
“For just one thing, it means get-
| ting the chairmanships of commit-
| tees—and places on important com- |
| mittees.
“Newcomers get only.the unim- |
| portant posts while they are spend-
ing most of their first term learn-
ing their way around.
In addition to eight years in
the: Senate, Flack spent six terms
fin the House and, ‘in all, has been
{in Harrisburg steadily since 1942.”
Post concluded, ‘Senator Flack is
not new to waging successful prim-
ary battles, and going on to victory
in the general election. We are
particularly encouraged early in this
campaign by the support of former
members of the House—Roy Parry
from the Sixth, Gordon Dieterrick
from the Fifth; Bruno Kowalski of
{the Fourth, and Leo Kubitski of
| the First.”

Sands And Redmond
Have Narrow Escape
Last Saturday morning what
might have been a fatal accident
occurred on the road building pro-
ject in front of Andrew Patricks
house on the road up toward the
Camp Ground. One of contractor
Addy’s dump trucks backed just a
little too close on the soft shoulder
‘being built on the bank at the side
of the road. The truck went end
over end down into the ravine
barely missing Ralph Sands and
Ralph Redmond who were hauling
out logs. They ran, one way and
the other in opposite direction. The
log they had been hauling. The
driver leaped from the cab to safety
and was uninjured. It looked to
those who saw it that all that
might be salvaged from the wreck
would be the tires. How fortunate
the catastrophe. cost no lives!
