Shaute, 70, 112 Park Drive, Clarks Green, a former outstanding baseball player and Lackawanna County sheriff and treasurer, died Feb. 21 in Moses Taylor Hospital after an illness. His wife, the former Mary Alice Ahern, died Sept. 11, 1968. A native of Peckville, he was graduated from Blakely High School where he first gained fame as a baseball pit- cher, striking out 21 batters in one game at the age of 16. He attended Mansfield State Teachers College and Juniata College before starting his base- ball career in the major leagues with the Cleveland Indians. His best season with Cleve- land was in 1924 when he won 20 games although the Indians finished in sixth place. The left-handed pitcher later played with the Brooklyn Dodg- ers. Then rather than take a pay cut with the Cincinnati Reds in 1934, he signed to play with the Scranton Miners in the old New York — Pennsylvania League. He managed the Miners in the 1935 season. sm: after the comes the I“ — nis — wns one fell swoop theory of advertising doughnut-around-the-hole theory : is the one organization that can get N N a regional advertiser to the doughnut without the advertiser having to buy the hole. If he goes into daily newspapers, if he goes into radio, if His 13-year major league record was 99 wins and 109 losses. Mr. Shaute became active in politics while still playing ball in the NYP League and was Lackawanna County treasurer for four years. His baseball con- tract during this time was pur- chased by the old Boston Bees and he was farmed out to the Hartford Laurels of the Eastern League. Local duties kept him from fulfilling the contract. His contract was then ob- tained by the Wilkes-Barre Barons but in 1939 he asked for and gained his release. In 1939 he ran for and was elected Lackawanna County sheriff on the Democratic ticket. The Clarks Green resident said in later years that Babe Ruth was the best major league hitter of all time. After leaving the sheriff’s of- fice he became a sales repre- sentative for Zipay Motors, * Peckville. Son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Shaute, he resided in the Abingtons most of his life. He was a member of Our Lady of Snows Church, Clarks Summit, its Holy Name Society, the Scranton Country Club, the Elk- view Country Club, the Purple Club of Scranton and the Mid- Valley Old-Timers Athletic As- sociation.

Regional chairmen named to the fund raising project, de- signed to raise money for the non-commercial station during a financial crisis caused by the state senate not appropriating funds to the department of education, were to include Herbert Frey in the greater Wilkes-Barre area. Lacka- wanna County chairman for the event will be Donald No- lan, Scranton, and Mrs. Albert Margolies, Clarks Summit, as cochairman. Two area chair- men named for the ‘‘Auction 44” are Mrs. William Mac- Arthur for the Abingtons and Harry Sharpe for Tunkhan- nock. In announcing the filling of some of the top auction leader- ship posts, Jane Schautz, auc- tion coordinator, a Clarks Sum- mit resident, said ‘“‘we are most fortunate that two such fine civic leaders as Mr. No- lan and Mrs. Margolies and others have consented to take on the demanding job of leading out 1970 auction plans. They have already begun work with the skill and zeal in fill- ing the other top positions of leadership and in laying the groundwork for the event that will provide money to keep Channel 44 on the air.” In a move last week, the Dallas Rotary Club became the first civic organization to be- come contributing members, when the club unanimously voted to donate $15 per mem- ber to the educational station. The station will solicit busi- nesses, industry and people for merchandise to be auctioned over television. Viewers sit- ting at home will spot the item they want, pick up the telephone and call in the bid. To assure success of the auc- tion, many volunteers are needed to help preauction plan- ning, station officials said. Dor- othy Smith is coordinator of volunteer workers and can be reached at Channel 44. Kiwanis send $50 to 44 The Kiwanis Club of Moun- taintop has forwarded a $50 ' donation to WVIA-TV Channel 44 to help the station during its financial dilemma caused by the failure of state legislators to vote funds for public tele- vision.
