MEMORIAL SERVICE BY AUXILIARY Addresses Made By Dr. E. R. Samuel And Legion Post Commander I. Kessler Memorial Day, originally named as a day for the honoring of soldier dead, has in recent years taken a more general meaning.

It has come to be observed as a day of flowers, a day of reunion for families and old friends, a day for paying tribute to all dead. In that respect it should be observed, with the families of deceased persons going to the cemeteries not merely as a ritual or a matter of duty but with reverence and sincerity in their tribute. Dr. E. R.

Samuel used thought as a part of his address! when he spoke last night at the memorial services of the American Legion Auxiliary, held last night in the Legion Home. Post Commander, Irvin Kessler, was also one of the speakers during the service. He referred to Memorial Day as being "a day of consecration, of prayer, and of opportunity for the expression of brotherhood and love for both living and dead." Commander Kessler, being an exserviceman, commented mostly on the remembrance of soldier dead.

LUBESKI IS KILLED BY AUTO TRUCK Loaded Truck Pushing Another When Mount Carmel Man Is Run Over HENRY FRY FINDS BODY IN STREET Drivers of Vehicles Did Not Know That Accident Had Occurred Bernard Lubeski, 52, of 318 north Vine street, this city, was instantly killed early this morning in Shamokin when he was run over by a loaded coal truck. Lubeski assisted his son-in-law Edward Shinskie, 1771 west Wood street, Shamokin who operated a coal truck. When, around 4:00 o'clock this morning, the truck stalled at Market and Water streets, Shinskie asked the assistance of his brother, John Shinskie, of Holly street, Shamokin, to get his vehicle started.

The latter brother brought his loaded truck to the scene and backed it to the rear of the one stalled. The stalled truck was pushed in an effort to turn over the motor. Lubeski, in a manner of which neither of the brothers could give an account, was knocked down and the wheels of the loaded truck passed over him. The truck drivers knew nothing of the mishap until Henry Fry, Shamokin resident enroute to his work at a nearby colliery, saw Lubeski lying on the street and ran a short distance to the trucks and told them. Persons who saw the body said it was apparent that the wheels had passed over it lengthwise.

It was badly crushed about the head, chest and legs. Patrolman Raymond Lynn, of the Shamokin police, arrived on the scene a short time after the accident and immediately opened investigation. Contacted by telephone, Coroner A. J. Ancerawicz gave permission to remove the body to the City Hall in the patrol car.

The body was later taken to a Shamokin morgue where this morning it was examined by the Coroner. No arrests were made because police believe the accident was purely accidental. Mr. Lubeski was born in Mount Carmel January 12, 1884, a son of the late Enoch and Rose (Kornaski) Lubeski. All of his lifetime he was a resident here and for many years was in the saloon business, first in Diamondtown and later at the place where the family residence is 10- cated.

His wife, Anna (Grimes) Lubeski, died four years ago. Children surviving him are Julia, wife of of George Edward Darstein, Shinskie, and Florence, Miss Gertrude Lubeski, the three of Shamokin, Edward, married and residing at home, and Irene, also at home. There are also the following brothers and sisters, all of Mount Carmel, Walter, John, Martha, (Continued On Page Seven) LITHUANIAN PARK OPENING Holy Cross Church Annual Outing At New Pleasure Center Tomorrow Complete arrangements have been made for the opening of the Lithuanian Park, south of town tomorrow, when the annual outing of the parish will take place.

UNIDENTIFIED DRIVER FLEES AFTER CRASH Occupants of Three Motor Vehicles Escape in Crash Near Weigh Scales Occupants of three motor vehicles, a coal truck and two automobiles, narrowly escaped injury last night along the Shamokin-Sunbury road between Weigh Scales and when the truck sideswiped the two cars and then crashed into a guard railing knocking out several posts. Al Bowman, Shamokin, former regional welterweight boxer and regular operator of the truck, owned by Mrs. Joseph E. Kelly, Shamokin, told State Highway Patrolman Stanley E.

Petzak of the Tharptown sub-station that a hitch-hiker whom he had picked up was driving the machine at the time of the accident. Bowman, according to the patrol report, said that he had given the hitch-hiker "a lift" while enroute from Mechanicsburg to Shamokin and allowed him to drive the truck because he, himself, was tired and wanted to sleep. The former prize-fighter further related that the hitch-hiker fled after the accident and he said he did not know his name. Automobiles involved in the crash were operated by Richard Wetzel and Michael Stanitskie, both of Shamokin, The truck was demolished and damaged to Stanitskie's car was estimated at $125 and that to Wetzel's machine was placed at $60.
