SOCIAL SECURITY UW RULING NOT AFFECTED The ruling on Title IX of the Social Security Law by a Pederal circuit court in Boston will in nowise affect ttie administration or enforce¬ ment of the Pennsylvania Unem¬ ployment Compensation Law, Secre¬ tary of Labor and Industry Ralph M. Bashore stated today. "Even an adverse ruling by the United States Supreme Court on the unemployment compensation pro¬ vision of the Pederal Social Security Act wouki not nullify the Unemploy¬ ment Compensation Law of thi.s State," Secretary Bashore declared. I|r' pointed out that tlie Pennsyl¬ vania legislature, in enacting tlie Unemployment Compensation Law at a special session in Deceml>er. wrote into It a section protecting the validity of the law against such an eventuality. A Pederal circuit court ta Boston last week declared the unemploy¬ ment compensation section of the Social Becurity Law unoonstituttonal as a violatton of States rights. On March M the fifth United States District Court, sitting In New Or¬ leans, a court of equal ranking, de¬ clared for the constituttonality of the law.

PARK OPENING DISCUSSED A most enthusiastic all-member dinner meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held last Thursday evening at the Nazareth Inn with 53 members attending. H. P. Yeis¬ ley, president, presided and called the meeting to order promptly at 6:30 o'clock. He introduced the first speaker P. R. Maxwell, a representa¬ tive of The Sun Shipbuilding it Dry Dock Co., of Chester, Pa., who pre¬ sented to ttie gathering facts and figures concerning the operation of a municipal power and light plant, and what might reasonably be ex¬ pected from operation of i>uch a plant in Nazareth. Mr. Maxwell cited, as examples, a few Pennsylvania towns and cities who operate their own power and light pUnts, naming Orove City as one. "Orove City," stated he, "is about tlw same siae as Naaareth and has extensive data available on oper¬ ating costs." "Orove City," contin¬ ued Mr. Maxwell, "has a population of g200. Its Diesel electric plant is 1175 K. W. capacity with a maxi¬ mum demand of MO K. W. The value of the plant is gglO.OOO. It pro¬ duces three million K. W. per year and its annual revenue Is 1109,000. Its net profit 840.000 per year. The residence rates start at 8.67 cents per K. W. and go down to 3 cents. Cooking rates are 9 cents for the first 100 K. W. and 3 cents for the next too K. W. Power rates are 3 wnts for first MOO K W'.s. and I'a cents thereafter. These rates I l>e- lleve are appreciably less than those prevailing in Nazareth." Mr. Maxwell also stated that many cities have reduced their taxes con¬ siderably and some have entirely eliminated taxes due to profits from Municipally owned and operated power and light plants. If Nazareth were able to achieve as good results as Orove City, stated Mr. Maxwell, the profits derived from a power and light plant would approRtmately cover the U}wn"s pres¬ ent budget. P. D. Wood, of the Nazareth Paper Box Company, explained briefly the power plant Installed by his com¬ pany, stating that they experienced graUfyIng results and that citizens when he related to the gathering his experiences in the pa^it on a movement concerning a power and light plant for Nazareth four years ago. Mr. Pulmer stated that a more thorough investigation of facts and figures with the interest of all con¬ cerned Is necessary to accomplish ttie desired ends. He wa.s accorded a most hearty approval by several loud rounds of applause. After hearing several more brief remarics from members, president Yeisley entertained a motion for. action and It was decided that t: chair appoint a committee to inve^l gate this matter thoroughly and re¬ port to the Chamber. The committee appointed was. J. H. Pulmer, P. D Wood and Wm. M. Bennett. This motion provides that more mem¬ bers may t>e added to thto committee If sought fit. It was atoo decided, upon motion, that the Board of Di¬ rectors of the Chamber be given authority to carry this movement to a successful conclusion. A general discu-ssion followed with a view of lielping the Borough fathers open the Community Park. Harold Oetz, speaking for the mer¬ chant's division, suggested that they. the merchants ,do all possible to make the park opening a big success. ""Let's stage a pet parade'" said he, and his statement was met with much favor. Borough Engineer Jones collaborated by suggesting that the merchants not cnly stage a pet parade, but that all organizations talce a hand In this park opening event. C. F. Martin, president of the local School Board, expressed his approval of suggestions presented for the park opening and added that the entire procession should be led by Borough Council. Other encouraging remarks and suggestions were made by Oeorge C. Meeser, C. A. Angle¬ mlre, Paul W. Heckman, H. C. Tumo and Henry Schlegel. President Yeis¬ ley appointed R. K. Stout as a com¬ mittee of one to organize baseball teams representing business men of Main, Belvidere and Broad streets and that at least three teams should be formed and ready to play ball by tlie park opening day.

SOCIAL SECURITY UW RULING NOT AFFECTED
The ruling on Title IX of the Social Security Law by a Pederal circuit court in Boston will in nowise affect ttie administration or enforce¬ ment of the Pennsylvania Unem¬ ployment Compensation Law, Secre¬ tary of Labor and Industry Ralph M. Bashore stated today.
"Even an adverse ruling by the United States Supreme Court on the unemployment compensation pro¬ vision of the Pederal Social Security Act wouki not nullify the Unemploy¬ ment Compensation Law of thi.s State," Secretary Bashore declared. I|r' pointed out that tlie Pennsyl¬ vania legislature, in enacting tlie Unemployment Compensation Law at a special session in Deceml>er. wrote into It a section protecting the validity of the law against such an eventuality.
A Pederal circuit court ta Boston last week declared the unemploy¬ ment compensation section of the Social Becurity Law unoonstituttonal as a violatton of States rights. On March M the fifth United States District Court, sitting In New Or¬ leans, a court of equal ranking, de¬ clared for the constituttonality of the law.

PARK OPENING DISCUSSED
A most enthusiastic all-member dinner meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held last Thursday evening at the Nazareth Inn with 53 members attending. H. P. Yeis¬ ley, president, presided and called the meeting to order promptly at 6:30 o'clock. He introduced the first speaker P. R. Maxwell, a representa¬ tive of The Sun Shipbuilding it Dry Dock Co., of Chester, Pa., who pre¬ sented to ttie gathering facts and figures concerning the operation of a municipal power and light plant, and what might reasonably be ex¬ pected from operation of i>uch a plant in Nazareth.
Mr. Maxwell cited, as examples, a few Pennsylvania towns and cities who operate their own power and light pUnts, naming Orove City as one. "Orove City," stated he, "is about tlw same siae as Naaareth and has extensive data available on oper¬ ating costs." "Orove City," contin¬ ued Mr. Maxwell, "has a population of g200. Its Diesel electric plant is 1175 K. W. capacity with a maxi¬ mum demand of MO K. W. The value of the plant is gglO.OOO. It pro¬ duces three million K. W. per year and its annual revenue Is 1109,000. Its net profit 840.000 per year. The residence rates start at 8.67 cents per K. W. and go down to 3 cents. Cooking rates are 9 cents for the first 100 K. W. and 3 cents for the next too K. W. Power rates are 3 wnts for first MOO K W'.s. and I'a cents thereafter. These rates I l>e- lleve are appreciably less than those prevailing in Nazareth."
Mr. Maxwell also stated that many cities have reduced their taxes con¬ siderably and some have entirely eliminated taxes due to profits from Municipally owned and operated power and light plants.
If Nazareth were able to achieve as good results as Orove City, stated Mr. Maxwell, the profits derived from a power and light plant would approRtmately cover the U}wn"s pres¬ ent budget.
P. D. Wood, of the Nazareth Paper Box Company, explained briefly the power plant Installed by his com¬ pany, stating that they experienced graUfyIng results and that citizens
when he related to the gathering his experiences in the pa^it on a movement concerning a power and light plant for Nazareth four years ago. Mr. Pulmer stated that a more thorough investigation of facts and figures with the interest of all con¬ cerned Is necessary to accomplish ttie desired ends. He wa.s accorded a most hearty approval by several loud rounds of applause.
After hearing several more brief remarics from members, president Yeisley entertained a motion for. action and It was decided that t: chair appoint a committee to inve^l gate this matter thoroughly and re¬ port to the Chamber. The committee appointed was. J. H. Pulmer, P. D Wood and Wm. M. Bennett. This motion provides that more mem¬ bers may t>e added to thto committee If sought fit. It was atoo decided, upon motion, that the Board of Di¬ rectors of the Chamber be given authority to carry this movement to a successful conclusion.
A general discu-ssion followed with a view of lielping the Borough fathers open the Community Park. Harold Oetz, speaking for the mer¬ chant's division, suggested that they. the merchants ,do all possible to make the park opening a big success. ""Let's stage a pet parade'" said he, and his statement was met with much favor. Borough Engineer Jones collaborated by suggesting that the merchants not cnly stage a pet parade, but that all organizations talce a hand In this park opening event.
C. F. Martin, president of the local School Board, expressed his approval of suggestions presented for the park opening and added that the entire procession should be led by Borough Council. Other encouraging remarks and suggestions were made by Oeorge C. Meeser, C. A. Angle¬ mlre, Paul W. Heckman, H. C. Tumo and Henry Schlegel. President Yeis¬ ley appointed R. K. Stout as a com¬ mittee of one to organize baseball teams representing business men of Main, Belvidere and Broad streets and that at least three teams should be formed and ready to play ball by tlie park opening day. "This is to be one of the big features of the
