An inter-scholastic debating team
has been organized for the first
time at Dallas Senior High, under
the coaching of Mr. Stinson. Be-
cause of many problems that still
need to be ironed out, the team is
limited, at present, to juniors, but
next year all senior high students,
if qualified, may participate. The
Mnitial members are Michael Jones,
John Farley, Robert Hackling, Sus-
an Karl, Beverly Eck, Gail Rum-
baugh, ond Peggy Fleming. The
team debated G. A. R. High School's
team at that school Thursday, Jan-
uary 17, 1963, and were hosts to
G. ‘A. R’s team today. Although
these meets were not open to visit-
ors, it is hoped that before Easter
the team will hold competitive deb-
ates for the public. The National
High School Debate topic for this
year’ is, “The Common Market”.
Debating will prove an interesting
as well as an invaluable experience
to team members.
School officials ‘have requested
that all parents who provide chauf-
fer service for their children to and

iSeldom has there erupted in the
Back Mountain a more enthusiastic
controversy about anything than the
running of freight trains and upon
occasion passenger trains over the
Pumpkin Line, when floods washed
over railroad tracks in the Valley.
The Old-Timer opened the flood-
gates when he ran some material
several months ago, and Albert
Stitzer stuck a capable finger in the
dike, disagreeing with the Old-Timer
and upholding the Pumpkin Line
tradition.
On Friday, Mr. Stitzer dropped by
The Hog. It shows the engine, a
string of freight cars, and barely
discernible at the tail end, a pusher
engine. The pusher’s engineer is
barely seen; but he was personally

Harvey writes: Referring to cars,

There is a limit of height of load,
so as not to make the car top-

The 20th Century equipment did
go over the Trucksville trestle,
which was strengthened by heavy
timber.
Class of engines that they had was
500, 600 and 700, which were used
before they strengthened the trestle.
After the trestle was reinforced, they
ran engine classes 300, 400 and
