The locals took the lead in the first minute of play by a field goal thrown from the middle of the floor by Laskewitz and continued to lead the entire game. The first half end- ed 10 to 6 with the locals leading. In the second half Tyndall, the star forward entered the. game and was all over the floor caging two pretty baskets from difficult angles and was the high scorer of the game. Charles, his running mate also sent two through the net and was a close second with six points, Shank, also scored twice and played a splendid guarding game. The game at times became extremely rough and many fouls were called on both sides. Marietta gave a poor exhibition of passing the ball and failed to locate the basket. Waller made the best showing for the visitors with five points, and also played a stellar game at center. Mount Joy High Field Foul Tis. Laskewitz, F L.

KEEP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF ROAD he pla An organized effort to reduce the number of accidents to pedestrians on the public highways is planned by the Pennsylvania Motor Federation in co-operation with other agencies.

The national association eached the conclusion, after study of the situation, that most of | the cases when automobiles strike pedestrians at night are due to the driver being partially blinded b; the headlights of approaching cars and, swinging to the right, failing to see pedestrians. It is contended that if persons walking on the roads would face the traffic they would be better able to avoid being struck and also would be scen much sooner by the drivers of cars approaching in the opposite direction. The State Highway Department has endorsed the campaign has Community Celebration The community celebration exer- cises held in the park on Monday ev- ening, were a decided success.
