The first conference game will be Jan. 6 with Ashley-Sugar Notch at Lake-Lehman. hunters urged to be careful Hunters are urged by the Pennsylvania Game Commis- sion to be a little more thought- ful when driving and parking their vehicles. Most sportsmen are careful, but a small minority of thought- less drivers can create major problems and produce an un- favorable image for all hunters in the mind of the general public. Those who drive along a road slowly, looking for a good place to hunt, perhaps stopping the vehicle on the road, are a haz- ard. One who gets stuck in the mud or snow, and just leaves his vehicle wherever it hap- pens to be because it is ‘‘time”’ _ to go hunting, is no sportsman. . sportsman. The driver who partially pulls off the road to watch deer not only irritates, but also endan- gers, others. The vast majority of sports- men who use common Sense while driving or parking their vehicles will have to help police our own ranks to ‘weed out” the inconsiderate opera- tors. WSCS hears music at meeting The WSCS of the Trucksville United Methodist Church met recently in the educational building. Guest speakers were Mary Ward, home and school coordinator for Pennsylvania and Irene Abtlanalp, activities director at Retreat State Hospi- tal.

Following the meeting re- freshments were served by Mrs. Walter Phillips and her com- mittee.

The new pro- gram is labeled ‘‘Servicemen’s Project.” Frank DeMasi, president of the Circle K, announced that members of the club have ex- pressed a desire to show Lu- zerne County servicemen they appreciate the job they are doing and so the new project came about. Memebrs of the college Keyettes have volun- teered to help. The project’s main purpose is to send a monthly newsletter to local servicemen wherever they are stationed.

Carter, the Americaneditor of INTERCOM, a small weekly newsletter pub- lished in Geneva, preferred to believe that his country’s in- telligence agency was above such inexcusable dirty doings. But what else was he to think? What other explanation could there be for the combination of ‘a thinly veiled warning to be careful of what he printed, issued by two CIA men, and the roughing up he had received at the hands of a trio of KGB agents also transparently eager to convince him of the need for discretion in his edit- ing? Charles Latimer, historian and detective story writer, has another explanation for Carter’s troubles. Smelling an ingenious schemé which pro- mises to net its perpetrators both the revenge for which they lust and a handsome profit without running them afoul of the law, he contracts with his publishers to write a new book revealing the truth about the INTERCOM Affair. But when, in his quest for that truth, Latimer threatens the success of the scheme he plans to expose, he disappears never to be heard from again, and then, it falls to Carter to complete his project. That Car- ter manages to do so in spite of his fear of intelligence agents from both sides of the Iron Cur- tain and powerful interference from the Swiss federal security police, results in our having one of the best spy-thrillers of the year. This book is not for the reader who insists on a quick: and easy escape from his worka- day world: parts of it, especially its first few pages, demand a considerable degree of concen- tration. It is, however, a must for anyone who appreciates a witty, fast-paced, thoroughly credible tale of international skullduggery, and doesn’t mind doing a little mental work for his pleasure. Justly noted for his previous books which in- clude EPITAPH FOR A SPY and A COFFIN FOR DIMI- TRIOUS, Eric Ambler has suc- ceeded once again, not only in telling an exciting story, but also in keeping his characters clear of the standard cloak and dagger rut. All but the laziest spy-thriller addicts are urged to rush either to buy THE IN- COM CONSPIRACY or to bor- row it from their local library.
