Kendig Marks 61 Years As A Physician Last Monday Dr. Jerome Stauf- fer Kendig, Salunga marked the 61st year of his entrance into the med- ical profession. Although he is now eighty-six, Dr. Kendig keeps the usual hours of a country practitioner. Dr. Kendig has always followed the same routine, except that about two years ago he gave up obstetrics at the insistence of his daughter, Mrs. Mary Minich. He says that al- though in days gone by the mort- tality rate of mothers in childbirth were relatively high, he never lost a mother in a maternity case. The doctor was graduated from Jefferson Medical College on April 3. 1889. He had taught in a one-room school for five years in order to pro- vide the money for his medical ed- ucation. He practiced in Landisville for a year and then began to assist his father Dr. Benjamin E. ‘Kendig, later taking over Dr. Benjamin's complete practice. His wife, Mrs. Frances Hershey Breneman Kendig, died in 1939. Survey Needed To Install Street Lights At Rheems Members of Rheems Fire Com- pany, at this week's session, heard a report from the Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. stating that a three months’ survey is necessary before street lights can be installed in the community. Several months ago the fire com~ pany, the only organized group in Rheems, instituted a project to have lights installed. Recently they notified light company officials who reported that the survey is neces- sary to determine the number of lights needed. Herbert Hoover, vice-president had charge of the session when it was announced that the first carn- ival will be held May 27. This event is being arranged by Enos Floyd. Announcement was also made of the purchase of 12 new raincoats for firemen. One member was ad- mitted. DIFFICULT TO DISCONTINUE Ever since it was Marietta, the residents there dumped all their garbage and rubbish along the riv- er. The State authorities and Mari- etta’s Council have ordered the practice discontinued as of April 1. We predict that will be quite a proposition after all these years. coming season's re- asked for at the one Saturday August. Same LETTERS GRANTED “Eva A.
