And along with him came the number ona advertising crew of twenty billposters, lithographers, and bannermen who are heralding tha coming event in the city and surrounding territory today.

"Coming in all its pristine be spangled splendor" is tha way Primrose put it. Of course everybody would have seen tha posters anyway, but the press agent kindly let us break the news that the first contingent of publicity conveyors arrived today. It will come to Hazleton from Wilkes-Barre, three long caravans loaded with circus wonders for youngsters of all ages. "Bigger and better than ever before" is the motto again this year, with more people, more horses, more elephants, more of everything including bigger peanuts, and more of 'em, said press agent Primrose. Over 600 people comprise the personnel of the big show Including 200 arenic stars and performers, headed by the Riding Conleys, European bareback riding stars; Walter Jennier and his super-educated sea-lion, "Buddy" recently featured on television; Dorothy Herbert, the noted star horsewoman, the Flying La Forms, breathtaking stars on the high trapeze, and the Great Eugene Troupe of breath-taking thrillers on the high-wire.

Three great herds of elephants, big menagerie filled with wild jungle beasts, and a double side- i show with a congress of human official opening will take place with remarks being made by prominent men on the national, state, and local levels. Tour of the plant will take place immediately afterward. The cocktail party will start at 6 o'clock and will be attended by opening day dignitaries, furniture dealers, out-of-town guests of Harry Shore, Superior Sleeprite president, board members of the Chamber and the Hazleton Industrial Development and local guests.

1954 Freeland MMTs Diamond Jubilee t.m taws Freeland Mining and Mechanical Institute, one of Pennsylvania's outstanding secondary institutions of learning is 75 years old today. The Diamond Jubilee is to be celebrated with festivities befitting such an august occasion. Not the least of the multiple program will be the graduation exercises, and the Alumni dinner. To this and several preceding generations MMI and Freeland were synonymous. The north side borough is rich in the history of the many organizations and institutions that have dotted its career.

Founded by one of the most "distinguished men in the history of the anthracite industry," Eckley B. Coxe, Free-land MMI owes much of its success to a very generous family. Even death failed to thwart the ideal of Mr. Coxe, and his kin have seen to it that the Mining and Mechanical Institute reached the fullest fruition of his dream. One of the distinctions that MMI can claim, is that the majority of its sons came back home after graduating from higher institutions of learning, and took their place, probably in just such roles as would have been most pleasing to Mr.

Coxe. Its list of scholarships shows that there never was any lines or barriers drawn in regard to class or to creed. This was just an enlargement of the spirit of the Coxe family. While Freeland, like all mining towns, has had its backward steps, the Mining and Mechanical Institute symbolizes a living progressive institution, breathing the very spirit and the life that Eckley B. Coxe intended that it shoud be.

Its graduates have perpetuated his concepts of education, as a means of a better way of life. How thankful are we, that they are so numerous. How remiss it would be not to mention such educators as Professors Bray and Broad, who seemed to have been effused with the very spirit that Mr. Coxe displayed as far back as 1879. Willingly and capably they had grasped the torch and held it high, that the ideal of the founder of the MMI might continue to enlighten generation after generation.

What a noble contribution Eckley B. Coxe, his beloved widow, and the Coxe family have made to our better way of life high up here in the heart of the Anthracite region! A Thoujftt And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. Acts 6:10. Sf 3ft Sf 9f When time and need require, we should resist with all our might, and prefer death to slavery and disgrace. Cicero.

The Rev. E. H. Lowry, former of Looking At Life BY ERICH DKANDEIS My wife handed roe a Tent for lluahanda last night and asked me to rate myaelf according to my own idea about myself at a hus-band. Reluctantly I took the teat.

It cam out just about aa I expected. When it all done I looked at the column "What the score means," and she looked at the one i headed "What you think of him." My score was 25, which means, according to the test, which came from an English newspaper, "He needs help." And the interpreta tion in the other column was "He could be worse." But my score was so miserable that I certainly couldn't le much worse and get by with it. In this test, a perfect husband is supposed to stay as late as his wife likes in nightclubs and dance all the time. On that I scored my self zero. Next came a question dealing with week-end weather.

To get the highest score you would have "to laugh on a hill in the rain." Never having been caught "on a hill in the rain" on a wet weekend. I could only surmise what I would have done in a case like that. I scored myself under the classification "He sits indoors and reads." Which gave me a "0" rating for this part of the test. One item on which I rated quite high was the one about dinner parties. The highest rating was for "he's a smash hit with your hosts." I know I'm not, particularly at buffet suppers when I invariably spill creamed chicken or a forkful of ceas oithe hostess' floor.

But I did give myself a "6" for "you know he'll behave well." My highest rating was on "Eve nings at Home. mere ine top score was for "He can't imagine why anyone ever wants to go out." "10" for that one, and a glory, hallelujah. Another high one, which gave me my total of 25 was the one on "Holidays." The question there was "He makes Coney Island seem like Newport." On that one I also gave myself a 10. Newport, as you know, is probably the swank iest summer resort in America. It costs a boodle of money to get by there even for a weekend.

Since my wife has censured me hundred times for spending too much money when we travel and once we WERE in Coney Island, asked me "Where do you think you are, in I felt justified for scoring myself 10. Jft Cft fft 9ft There were a number of other questions, on each of which I was zero. But really I don't think that the question of whether you are a good husband or a good wife de pends on any number of definite questions and the answers thereto. Marriage is not a question and answer game nor a picnic, as I said a few days ago. A man can be a big flop socially and yet be a wonderful husband.

A woman may be a bore and a failure to outsiders and yet the dearest thing in the world to her husband. The trouble with men is that to them their wife, to be perfect, must be a modernized image of their mother, a streamlined antique, so to speak. And to eyery woman her husband should be the incarnation of all the childhood sweethearts with whom she was in love before she got married. He must also be faithful a gadnoo oo 'WT1 faithful and a good provider. Since specimens both male and female of that sort are usually not found in real life, I think the best thing is to put up with what you've got As the English test says, "It could be worse."

LOCAL GIRL RECEIVES MASTER OF ARTS DEGREE Miss Joan Louise Wersinger, of 171 South Pine street, this city, received the degree of Master of Arts from Teachers College, Columbia University, at the university's commencement exercises this past Tuesday. The commencement was one of the principal events in Columbia University's bicentennial celebration. And Shades Gifts most exciting variety TOOK $40,000 TRIP TO BRING TOGETHER FAMOUS ORCHESTRA Maestro Phil Spitalny spent $40,000 traveling about the country in 1933 just to audition girls for a new orchestra he planned to build around the smooth violin music of Evelyn Kaye. Phil had been impressed by her talent one night as he stopped by Boston Town Hall to hear a concert by this young soloist. She was to become known as Evelyn and her magic violin.

Immediately he became obsessed with the idea of forming an all-girl orchestra. Others had done this before but failure had set in because the groups had been played up on the basis of the unique all-girl feature. Spitalny, a precise musician, believed his all-girl orchestra would succeed because they would have to be precise musicians, too. The success of the "Hour of Charm" orchestra which will appear here next Friday is now history. Phil continues auditions and works up new ideas for his musical group because he be believes "ideas keep the programs ever Most of Spitalny's girls are conservatory graduates and perform exceptionally well on two or more instruments.

Phil's formula for selecting a new member of the group has been related by him as: "They are chosen first on the basis of their musical ability on a particular instrument; second, their singing ability; third, appearance, charro, and background."
