Oncay Dairy Herd
Is To Be Sold
Friday Over The Auction Block
Holsteins, Guernseys,
And Jersey To Go
Thirty-seven high grade regis-
tered Holsteins, Guernseys and
Jerseys will be sold over the block
tomorrow, Friday, September 2, at
the Edward E. Oncay farm in Leh- |
an Township.
Merton E. Bunnell will lift the |
hammer at exactly 11 a. m.
Many owners of small farms have
already inspected the herd with in-
tentions of bidding in stock which
largely stems from the Hillside
Farms, and NEBA sires. Guernsey
sires include Villa Crest Kings
Honor, Yellow Creek Superior and |
McDonald Farms S. Mister,
Seven cows are bred for late fall,
several for December and January.
A 2-year old Welsh Palomino!
pony is also to be sold.
Sun-Lit farm is located on the |
Lehman-Outlet Road, halfway be-
tween Lehman and Harveys Lake.
Mr. Oncay, In going out of the
dairy business, baszs his action on
circumstances which have beset]!
other dairy herd owners in Luzerne |
County, and cut down the
toward the vanishing point.
It js almost impossible to obtain
good help, managers who are able
to manage, without going up into
a wage bracket which makes dairy-
ing no longer profitable.
Continued drought has cut down
ee for silage. Feed, purchased in-
head of home-grown, cancels out
income.
Mr. Oncay is reluctant to part
with his herd.
The creameries to which he sold
his milk are regretful. Milk distrib-
utors are going farther and farther
afield to procure a steady supply.
The community, which cherishes
its herds of sleek cattle, is regretful.
The herds are going. The Rice
farm, which used to show black
and white cattle on iits rolling acres,
now shows a housing development.
The prize Guernsey herd at
Goodleigh Farm was dispersed some
years ago. At the dispersal sale on
Friday, tractors, barn cleaners, and
many other pieces of farm equip-
ment will be offered for sale.
There will be a lunch tent on the
grounds.
The Oncays are keeping one cow
for family<use; =n Holstein for heavy
milk production.
At present, Mr. Oncay’ © gxcavat.

Fire At Laundry
Stems From Light
On one of the muggiest days of
| the summer patrons in Shavertown
Shopping Center were treated to a
heavy smoke barrage when a fluor-
escent light fixture ballast in the
Wormeck Laundromat caught fire.
Twelve firemen under the direc-
i tion of Chief William Frederick an-
swered the call at 5 p. m., Monday
afternoon. Approximately ten feet
of ceiling and the light fixture
were removed by the firemen.
Smoke poured into the Acme |
Store next door gaining entry |
through a crack in the fire wall
expansion. The
weather maker in the air condition-
ing unit was turned on, clearing
the big market in a short time.
Chief Frederick dismissed his men
after tearing out the fixture and
ceiling blocks but remained on the
scene to check the trouble further.
Still smelling burning material, he
recalled assistant chiefss Walter
Davis and Joseph Youngblood. Be-
hind the dryers they found debris
from the ceiling which was lying |
upon the wires and smoldering. Up-
on removal of the broken blocks,
the danger was ended.
