DCCNPIPNPNPNPNPIPRONTN ENED SE DD relax, the is legal The 1,000 pound bell which hung in the old steeple of Shav- ertown Methodist Church will be mounted in solid concrete as a conversation piece in front of the Educational Building, according to the Rev. Robert DeWitt Yost, pastor of the church. When the old steeple was re- placed with an aluminum bel- fry’ last-fall, the heavy bronze. bell, 75 years old, was removed, and since that time has been on display at the Pioneer Avenue entrance to the church. Records of its origin, with name of the casting plant, along with all other church records, were destroyed in a’ fire which razed the parsonage a number of years ago. Many residents have specu- lated about the origin of the bell, standing mute on the church grounds. Was it the bell which disap- peared from the Prince of Peace fair some years ago? The one which had called stu- dents to classes in the old Goss School? That bell was spirited away by strong men in a truck following an evening of good fellowship when everybody who contributed to the fuilding fund was given the privilege of beat- ing a tattoo on the bell, as it hung on a stout framework. Efforts to locate the bell have so far proved fruitless. La The Rev. Yost dispelled that idea in a hurry. The bronze bell now on dis- play may have been a com- panion piece to the old Goss School bell, but it hung in the belfry of Shavertown Methodist Church for 75 years. The vanishing Goss School bell bell was sold to Prince of Peace for a small sum of hard money, by authorization of school directors. It had been intended for the belfry of Prince of Peace, but the aper- ture proved too narrow to ad- mit the bell. % Eventually, Prince of Peace installed a bell from a Lehigh Valley locomotive. Some years ago; its. brazen. tongue was silenced, and a new type of bell, electrically controlled, went into service. The whereabouts of the Old Goss School bell remains a mystery. Speculation is that it is in somebody’s barn, covered with hay, or astonishing the fishes in a pond. It was too heavy to have wandered far afield. At least six men know where it is. It took six men to swing it from its stout framework at the fair. It is reasonable to suppose, therefore, that it took six men to take it down and load it into a truck. The Dallas Post used to get anonymous tips as to its where- abouts, but either the bell moved silently to a new hide- out, or the tips were not founded on fact. baby girl Mr. and Mrs. Frank Yen- charis, 27 West Fallbrook Avenue, Dallas, announce the arrival of a baby girl, their second daughter, June 18 at Wyoming Valley Hospital.

Rexall STORE AT THE LIGHT IN DALLAS busy, buzzing bees The Library Auction missed by a hairsbreadth having a hive of angry bees to offer over the block. Bill Moss reports: “All of a sudden, there was this swarm of what looked like big black flies roaring into the Auction Barn and making for the new goods stall. George McCutcheon and I started bat- ting at them, but they kept on coming. . ‘““‘And then we noticed they had stripes. Brother, we stopped batting and went out- side. “We got Bill Robbins on the phone, and he came right down, but by that time the queen bee had decided she didn’t like the Barn, and had taken off, with the whole swarm trailing her. “Bill wasn’t annoyed. Said it frequently happened. Bill has a way with bees. See him on television a few nights ago? He was gentling a swarm into a hive with his bare hands. It was the photographer that got stung, right on the nose. Bill just went on scooping. evangelists at camp MRS. RUBY SCHLOSSER The Free Methodist Camp Meeting now in progress on the B. T.
