He is stationed at Broadheadsville in the Po conos. The Grier City Jug Band pre sented a performance at William Penn Methodist Church. In a showdown of North Schuylkill League basketball unbeatens, Frackville stopped Mahanoy Township, 37-18.

Both teams had 6-0 records and the victory virtually wraps up the first-half title for Charlie Dun-kleberger's team. 50 YEARS AGO The blacksmith shop burned down at Stanton Colliery, Gil-berton. Dr. William Leach, one of Shenandoah's native sons, has opened an office at 319 East Centre street. Eddie Hayes of town earned the right to the lightheavy- weight title of the lower An thracite region when he gave a severe lacing to KO Logan of IMt.

Carmel at the Girardville Opera House. 75 YEARS AGO Tommy Waters received a very flattering offer when a telegram invited him to join the company of "One of the Bravest" at Scranton. He and his wife do a specialty act and will receive $40 a week plus expenses. A hog owned by Mrs. Steedle of Glover's Hill went mad yesterday and bit two dogs which were at once killed.

Simon Verbitski quarreled with his wife over whether they should go out to visit friends and wound up by striking the woman. Instead, Verbitski went out this morning with Constable Giblon to jail. John Gardias of Morea claims to have been robbed of $12 and silver watch by unknown parties while crossing the mountain. Plaudits for Perez SAN JUAN, P.R.

Letters To Old Steve Girard To the Editor: Old Stephen Girard had a charitable streak when he built Girard College, but it had a fatalistic ring for the widows whose male children were al lowed to attend if their father was killed in the mines on Girard land. Girard did not believe in any religion but the boys from seven years up could attend church. Older boys were appointed big brothers to take the1 younger boys to church. The Girard Estate administra tors own a bank in Philadelphia.

The college is surrounded by a high wall and the grounds within may not be assessed. There are vast holdings in this region where the owners of houses on Girard ground pay $30 a year assessment. Recently a new rule allowed home owners to pur chase the ground for $300 to $700 based on the size. Girard Estate also owned Wills Eye Hospital in Philadel phia. If an employe of the vast colliery area had eye trouble he received free treatment.

How would you like to be a fat cat administrator living in the city from Girard Estate income? Embryonic Praise for Al To the Editor: I think people in this area should be thankful for the ex ample shown by Mr. Al Andrus-cavage when he assured every one that he was not looking for a state patronage job. This statement should silence many of his critics in the old guard, who have been saying that he only jumped on the bandwagon and did not put his name forth in the primary because he was on the payroll of Congressman Yatron and did not want to take sides. Mr. Andruscavage gave these complainers the best possible answer in his assurance that he is interested in better govern ment and not out job hunting.

We need more examples like this in our political parties, men wno are not out for selfish rea sons. They can never be able to point a finger at him and say he was paid off with a patronage job.

John A. Love's inaugural ceremonies. When Cogswell learned a 19- gun salute was planned to honor the governor, he asked for and obtained an air pollution variance. SMORGASBORD You Can Help Shapp To the Editor: It must be recognized that our state needs money. It may hurt at first when new taxes are put on but we must give the new governor time.

Hopefully the tax equity will come about, which is one of his campaign pledges. He can do it but he needs help from con gressmen and senators. They can help by writing tax laws that will give a break to the small or middle income taxpayer. Mr. Shapp is open to sugges tions.

He is only one man. Get behind a pen or pencil and jot down a few lines and maybe your ideas and solutions will help our state. I am sure he will consider the opinion of any citizens the same as the opinion of nis top advisors. David Bowen On Sunday Sales To the Editor: I am befuddled bv Senator Hobbs' Sunday Sales Bill.
