PUKE HIS BEEN COMPLETED Completion of the three and a half mile stretch of concrete pave between Evans Falls and Lutes Corners, on the back mountain route between Tunkhannock and Dallas, is a great advantage to Wyoming county residents. While the road between Littes Corners and Dallas has not been improved and Is rough, autoists can pass from the concrete pave to the hard surfaced road to Noxen, a distance of three miles, and thence on a hard-surfaced road to Harvey's Lake, a distance of three miles. The new route cuts 20 miles off the trip from -nlthannock to Harrisburg, The mountain highway from Lutes Corners and Dallas Is expected to be paved with concrete next summer. DRAM AT iu "NURSE E01TH CAVELL" r' i fV if dteSMa Qui) lag 1OTH1ILE GIFT" With that jolly, rotund old fellow, Santa Claus, preparing for another of his yearly visits, attention currently is being directed toward the question of gifts, for the Christmas spirit is based largely on the idea of presenting gifts that bring the greatest possible pleasure.

"The thought that goes into selection of a gift usually determines the satisfaction It will bring the receiver," believes Roy Stauffer, local Frigldalre dealer. "And in selecting a gift, the choice of one that has permanent value is the most worthwhile gift of all. Into this classification, it is apparent, falls the modern electric refrigerator that every year Is the favorite Christmas present of thousands of women. From a homemaker's standpoint, few gifts could be more worthwhile or give more lasting pleasure. "More perhaps than is generally realized, a woman's daily household activity Is linked closely with her food keeping method.

If she lacks the complete food safety, convenience and economy supplied by an electric refrigerator, she has a perpetual problem, of major proportions that frequently causes her worry and trouble. No wonder she welcomes with enthusiasm the dependable, carefree food preservation offered by a modern electric refrigerator. Day after day, for years, it saves food, money, labor and time, besides giving her a kitchen appliance In which she can take constant pride." LIQUOR BOARD REVERSED Judge Thomas F.
