Although in failing health for 4 Nv vw It, 7 4 JOHN M. DAVJS some time, the death of Mrt Davis was unexpected for as late as yesterday he had visited the Lackawanna's New York offices. His passing ended a railroading career launched by Mr.

Davis as a lowly clerk to 1889 and climaxed to 1925 when he assumed the Lackawanna presidency.

(Continued on Page 22) for, i Lied-ration By British Ambassador Before Approximately 500 Cussts At Annual St. Davids Day Dinner Draws Thunderous Applause Outstanding Event In Societys History.

In a brilliant address delivered before approximately 5Q0 guests at Hotel Jermyn last night on the occasion of the thirty-third annual banquet of St 'Davids Society of Lackawanna County, Lord Halifax. British ambassador to- the United States, drew thunderous applause from an appreciative audience when, while reviewing the magnificent contribution of Wales to the United Nations fight for victory, he declared, "the war can end only when we have utterly destroyed the fighting power of our enemies." Unquestionably the outstanding St. Davids Day banquet in the long history of the, society, the high ranking British statesman held the attention of the men and women assembled to pay tribute to- the patron saint of Wales as he, recalling what he described as the dark Summer of 1940," observed that the English held to a stern defensive knowing that the hour would surely come when the Allies would be able to "That," he asserted, was the hope of the British in 1940, of Russia to 1941 and 1942, and our combined forces in the Pacific, when. we were losing island after island to the Japanese, --Neither the Germans nor the Japanese cans have such hope now," he asserted. They know that the heyday of their strength, when they outmatched us at nearly every point, has passed.

They know that whatever efforts they may make, they can never hope to regain their lead in the great race. Their day of easy victories has gone, and the dark night of defeat draws in. Thi honored guest was intro- rg Lip Court; who described the ambassa- dor as "distinguished and great" and added that the British have al-wavs shown us what they think of us by the caliber of the men they sent to represent the British Em-oire. While we have had many distinguished guests here, we have lever had as great and as dlstin-uished a guest as Lord Halifax." Recalls Early Welsh Recognizing the prominent pert he people of Welsh extraction have in the growth of Scranton and he anthracite region. Ambassador Halifax, recalling the words of a famous epitaph, "if you want memorial, look around you," said that the industry end public life of Scranton, ana indeed, of Pennsylvania, owes much to men whose fathers came from Wales.

It began in 1681, when William Penn sold 40.000 ares of land, later, to be known as the Welsh Tract, to a jroup of Welshmen, many of whose teseendunts ere honored citizen of Pennsylvania today." Wales, the high British official leclared, "has given of her best in his war, to the fighting services, to the output of munitions, and to the yll-important task of producing coal which is known the world over, and which the need was never greater." Referring to the destruction of human livea and property. Lord Hallux observed that "while we know these things are happening, we have become so sated with horrors that we hardly grip their full significance, unless they affect directly our own lives or the lives of those we love. And. we ourselves need always to ie on guard lest under-Uhe repetition of human tragedy our cense of moral anger at the evil things that CRUe it should grow dulL For We all have our immediate work to do. We have httle leisure to think much about what lies outside it.

So we are tempted to put these things aside Hut the tale of human sufferings and degradation goes on, increasing with every day that passes." Traces History ef Welsh People. Tracing the history of the Welsh people in relation to the British Empire, Ambassador Halifax stated that personal freedom, national independence and the democratic way of life was obtained by the Welshman at a great price. "He bought them at a great price," declared the speaker, "and took them along with him to the partnership that became known as the United Kingdom, and later as the British Commonwealth, where they have been an asset of untold Striking a note on the postwar world to come. Lord Halifax observed that "it is certainly true now that if we want peace, we must prepare for peace. This time we nave much to help us; the experience of old mistakes, the urgency of the present need, and the insistence of all people that a aolution must be found.

Sales up until Feb. 29 amounted to 8,130,700.

The countys quota was 14,250,000. Although the bond sell- 118, ing campaign of Lackawanna County banks actually ended on Feb. 15, all bond sales made In the county until March. 1 were credited to the Fourth War Mr. Atherton said that the county also exceeded its quota of (3,364,000 for Series bonds.

The total aale of bonds was (3,458,300. Sales to individuals amounted (6,528,100. chairman expressed complete satisfaction with the way that Lackawanna County "backed the attack." He -said he has not been informed as to the final standing of the county in bond sales among Pennsylvania counties. It is understood, however, that a number of counties' which had much smaller quotas may have a better percentage showing than Lackawanna. This county, appears certain to be up among the leaders of counties which had quotas running into the millions.

SAYS KO DRAFT BOARD HAS TO FURNISH ORE THAN ITS SHARE State Selective Service Headquarters Says Comparison of Quotas By Counties Is Restricted. Harrisburg, March 2 Selective Service, Headquarters said today that "in the last analysis, no local board will furnish more than its proportionate share of men" to thq armed forces under a stepped-up program of inductions. "It might be necessary to throw calls on boards out of line temporarily if some have men avail able and others don't" declared a spokesman. "This, however, will be equalized Calls are placed on Pennsylvania by the army in co-operation with National Selective Service Headquarters. All information, including comparison, of one county with another with respect to quotas, is restarted, Lackawanna County Figures.

Lackawanna Countys total contribution to the armed forces was estimated today through a spot check of average boards selected at random at somewhere In the neighborhood of 30,000 men, This county-wide total, entirely unofficial and just as likely conservative as exaggerated in the light of detailed breakdown, includes men inducted by normal draft processes since Fail of 1940, board registrants who entered service voluntarily through recruiting offices and "nonregistrants" who because of membership in the national guard or some similar were not required to register under selective service. Of the county-wide total, the Cit: of Scranton whose population i less than half. that or Lackawanna County as a whole has furnished approximately 14,000 men or less than half the county total. On a board-to-board basis it appears that quotas furnished by any of the seven boards outside of Scranton would run ahead of the quotas furnished by any of the seven city boards, with the greater of the county boards as compared with city boards, accounting for this difference.
